Glavgosexpertiza (Russia's Main Department of State Expertise) has considered and approved the design and budget documentation for the construction of the dry bulk cargo handling facility and support infrastructure for the creation of a deep-water non-freezing dry cargo area in the port of Taman.

Initiated in 2006, the project is currently in progress. The facility is intended to handle certain cargo flows that currently pass through the ports of Russia's neighboring nations. It is designed to be seamlessly integrated into the international transport corridor known as the "North-South." The recently approved Phase 2 involves constructing essential facilities for the operation of the dry cargo area at the Taman port. This area is projected to have a total capacity of up to 80.44 million tonnes annually and the capability to accommodate ships weighing up to 150,000 deadweight tons. The design documentation for the project was created by the Directorate for Comprehensive Overhaul of Railways and Construction of Rail Transport Facilities at RZD OJSC. The project's implementation is entrusted to the Directorate of the State Customer for the Execution of Comprehensive Transport Infrastructure Development Projects.
