Ports in Russia are among one of the means of transporting goods and freights from one destination to another. The former Soviet Union had 92 seaports but after its disintegration only 41 ports belong to Russian Federation. The development of the Ports is one of the major concerns for the Russian federal and regional governments. They are determined to rebuild the infrastructure of the ports so that international trade can be increased through its own ports.
Some of the major ports of Russian Federation are as follows:
- Port of Alexandrovsk Sakhalin Island
- Port of Poronaysk Sakhalin Island
- Port of Azov
- Port of Boshnyakovo Sakhalin Island
- Port of Kaliningrad
- Port of Vladimirovo Sakhalin Island
- Port of Saint Petersburg
- Port of Vysotsk
- Port of Vostochny
- Port of Khoe Sakhalin Island
- Port of Murmansk
- Port of Nakhodka
- Port of Novorossiysk
- Port of Shakhtersk Sakhalin Island
- Port of Taganrog
- Port of Tuapse
- Port of Vladivostok
- Port of Archangelsk Siberia
- Port of Vyborg
- Port of Uglegorsk Sakhalin Island
Presently most of these ports operate with their container berths that work under concession of private companies. Often these private companies are units of larger shipping lines that utilize the ports. These Russian Ports contributes immensely in the economy of the country.
