Igarka port

The seaport of Igarka is located on the shore of the Igarskaya creek of the Yenisey River. The port was established to export timber and sawn timber products through the Northern Sea Route. The port is navigable for only 3-4 months (from the end of June until the beginning of November). The all year round navigation is possible using icebreakers and ice-class vessels. The port is able to admit vessels with length of up to 150m, width of up to 25m and draught of up to 8m. There are 4 mooring berths in the seaport of Igarka, the total length of the mooring wall is 600 metres. Moreover, there are 12 roads (mooring bridles) that are used to place sea transport vessels for loading during handling of cargoes from river to sea vessels. At present no stable cargo turnover is observed at the port. Occasional handling operations connected to delivery of construction materials, machinery and other general cargoes to the Vankor Field are performed. Handling services are rendered by OOO Igarskaya Stevedoring Company which provides ferry crossing across the Igarskaya creek to Igarskiy Island in summer.
