On July 2, 2023, on the Day of Workers of the Maritime and River Fleet, the first passenger vessel – Konstantin Fedin motor ship – moored to a new floating berth in the seaport of Taganrog.

FSUE “Rosmorport” completed the construction of a floating berth for receiving passenger vessels in May 2023. The enterprise also carried out repair dredging in the water area of the seaport to ensure the approach and mooring of sea and river passenger vessels at the berth.

The facility was created pursuant to the instructions of Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko. The berth has a length of 96 m and a width of 16 m.

The berth can accommodate passenger vessels up to 141 m long. The commissioning of the new facility is expected to have a positive impact on the tourist attractiveness of the historical city of Taganrog, which is rightfully considered an open-air museum, and the development of the region in general.
