Pacific cargo port southeast of Vladivostok
A Pacific port city on a sheltered bay, one of Russia's key commercial and container ports in the Far East. Its harbours handle oil, coal and general cargo.
The bay was charted in the mid-19th century, and the settlement grew as a port from the 1930s. It expanded rapidly as a Pacific shipping gateway after World War II.
