This was reported by the press service of the Unified Transport Directorate.
Let us remind you: according to forecasters, unfavorable weather conditions will persist in the coming days.
Currently, the following are waiting their turn for loading on the cargo line: in the port of Novorossiysk - 180 trucks, in the Kerch fishing port - 400. In the ports of Kavkaz and Crimea, up to 170 passenger cars have accumulated.
Over the previous 665 hours, 122 passengers and 2 cars were transported across the Kerch Strait by small-capacity ferries “Yeisk” and “Kerch XNUMX”. First of all, children and passengers traveling under the “single ticket” system were transported.
Passengers traveling with a “single ticket” on the night the clocks are set back an hour from October 25 to 26 are advised to be extremely careful when calculating the departure time:
“Passengers whose ticket indicates on October 26, 01.10 departure from Simferopol, 03.10 departure from Feodosia and 01.45, 04.45 departure from Kerch, must be at the departure points according to the “old” time. That is, if you have already set your clock back an hour, then you need to be an hour earlier according to the set clock. All other passengers with tickets for October 26 must arrive at the departure point at the “new” time,” ETD emphasizes.
The Kerch crossing was closed at 22.00 on October 23 due to increased wind.
