/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Smat ferry will sail its ‘trial voyage’ from
Kavkaz port (Russia) to Poti port (Georgia). This voyage will allow
establishing a direct transport communication between Armenia and
Russia. Smat will depart Kavkaz port April 7 and is expected in Poti
April 9," said Konstantin Jgarkava, the chief dispatcher of Poti port.

Launching of the Port Kavkaz-Poti ferry communication was due in
mid-March. However, it was postponed over some technical reasons.

The first stage supposes one voyage per week. The number of voyages
will redouble after putting into operation the second ferry in May,
Interfax-South reports.
