The city port's sea terminals will be refurbished and the necessary coastal infrastructure will be created in time for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014 in Sochi. Construction of the port's cargo area is proceeding rapidly at the mouth of the Mzymta River and Olympic-related construction materials are currently being delivered through it. The port complex will occupy approximately 800m of coastline and will consist of port berths, a cargo front and wave-protection barriers. Warehouses and other infrastructural facilities will be built on the coast and the first launch area, with a capacity of 2 million metric tons per year. They will begin opening in December 2009. The sea port's cargo area will be fully opened in 2010 and its capacity will be 5 million tons per year.
The ferry port terminals will also be refurbished. Following its use as a cargo port for construction materials, the port will be transformed to become a legacy facility for 400-500 yachts.
