Makhachkala, Commercial seaport in Dagestan, Russia
The port city stretches along the western coast of the Caspian Sea, featuring nine cargo berths and specialized terminals for grain, containers and oil products.
Established in 1844 as Petrovskoye fortress, the settlement received its current name in 1921 after Dagestani revolutionary figure Makhach Dakhadaev.
The capital of Dagestan includes research institutions, a university, medical facilities, and agricultural study centers that reflect the regional educational priorities.
The port receives and processes one thousand trains annually, maintaining connections with Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran through rail and maritime routes.
Makhachkala remains the sole ice-free Russian port on the Caspian Sea, reaching depths that surpass both Astrakhan and Olya facilities.
