Russia continues to develop the port of Uchemchira in Abkhazia - now it may have an additional function. Co-founder of the international intelligence community Informanapalm, author of the OSINT Georgia channel and OSINT researcher Irakliy Komakhidze has released exclusive photos from the port of Uchemchira, demonstrating the development of its cargo infrastructure. In the field you can see heavy transportation equipment, equipped container yards and infrastructure for working with train platforms. This fits well into the larger picture of the gradual transformation of Uchamchira into a Russian transport and logistics center. The new images are particularly interesting against the background of Bloomberg's latest information: Due to problems with the traditional Black Sea routes, Russian grain traders are exploring the possibility of exporting wheat and other agricultural products through Uçhamcıra to Turkey in containers. Informanapalam has been following Uchamchira for many years now. Back in 2023, Irklei Komhidze described in detail the Russian military presence in the port. After the conquest of Abkhazia, Russia stationed here the base of the coast guard ships of the FSB of the Russian Federation, and later Moscow began to consider Uchemchira in the context of the needs of the Black Sea Fleet. Since then, the civilian logistics component has also expanded significantly: a container terminal with rail infrastructure was built, designed for the simultaneous storage of up to 1,200 containers. In 2025, trial calls for ships were already held here. So today it is worth looking at Uchemchira more broadly than just a potential backup point for the Russian Navy. In the territory of the occupied part of Georgia, Russia is gradually creating a dual-purpose logistics infrastructure, in which a military presence, a railway, a marine cargo terminal and a cargo transfer infrastructure coexist. And new photos from the site show that this process continues.
