Kerch-Yenikale canal (Template:Lang-ru) is a maritime shipping channel in the Kerch Strait. It connects the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
The channel was built from 1874 to 1877. The initial depth of the channel is 5.7 m.
In order to improve navigational capabilities of the Strait of Kerch, which is quite shallow in its narrowest point, the Kerch-Yenikal Channel was dredged through the strait. The canal can accommodate vessels up to 215 meters long with a draft of up to 8 meters with a compulsory pilot assistance.
