As the subtitle of this article, the following hard but honest conclusion could be put: the Russian occupation of Crimea killed Crimean ports.

Five trade and two fishing ports of Crimea and Sebastopol desperately try to survive whereas the Kerch ferry does not work anymore. Ports lost their profitability and freight turnover as an outcome of Western sanctions and the decision of Ukraine to close ports for foreign vessels adopted in response to the occupation of Crimea and Sebastopol by the Russian Federation. The construction of the Kerch Bridge deprives Crimean ports of cargo and passengers from Russia. Moscow «strategists» recommend turning them into marina for yachts. Coastal territories of ports are likely to be occupied soon by new houses for Russians «coming» to Crimea.
