Our port today is:

• A multi-profile commercial port for the transfer of general cargo, pulp, cardboard, lumber, metal, containers, heavy equipment, fertilizers and bulk cargo;
• Year-round port navigation, with ice conditions roughly corresponding to those of the Gulf of Finland;
• A powerful port infrastructure, capable of handling up to 4.5 million tonnes of cargo per year;
• The gates to the Arctic: it was from here that the Northern Sea Route was established, this being the shortest route for cargo transportation from Europe to South-East Asia, when compared with the traditional routes;
• The primary base for opening up the oil and natural gas deposits of the Arctic Shelf, and first and foremost, of the Barents and Kara Seas;
• A large and modern container terminal.
