A deepwater port on Nakhodka Bay (part of the Sea of Japan), it operates year-round and is suitable for handling large tonnage ships. Vostochny is a warm-water port[2] in the Russian Far East.
The largest stevedoring firm in the port is JSC Vostochny Port, which specializes in coal handling with conveyor equipment.
