On December 11, 2015 there was opened new ferry route with Turkey, Skadovsk Istambul.[1] The ferry connection became possible after withdrawal of a Russian monopolist from the region soon after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.[1] With government funding Port of Skadovsk was able to deepen the sea floor and rebuild wharfs.[1] This ferry connection cost Ukraine 3,000,000 hryvnia ($200,000).[1]
