# Fishy business on Murmansk waterfront

> The Murmansk Fish Port is in dispute with the First Murmansk Terminal, an oil terminal company that blocked railway transits carrying fish across its area. The fish port administration threatened retaliation and said it is losing money because fish cannot reach markets. Port volumes have been falling and infrastructure is deteriorating.
