Port Overview
Vysotsk Port (RUVYS) is a strategically positioned maritime facility located in the Leningrad Oblast region of northwestern Russia, situated on the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Finland. This critical port serves as an important maritime gateway for the Russian Federation, offering significant logistical advantages for international maritime trade in the Baltic Sea region. Positioned at 60.61°N, 28.5515°E, Vysotsk plays a crucial role in supporting regional economic activities, particularly in bulk cargo and energy sector logistics.
Geographic Location & Access
Nestled in the northwestern extremity of Russia, Vysotsk Port benefits from a strategic location within the Gulf of Finland. The port’s geographical positioning provides excellent access to major shipping routes connecting the Baltic Sea with inland Russian territories. The approach features relatively sheltered waters with moderate navigational challenges, characterized by the region’s complex coastal geography. Winter navigation requires specialized ice-breaking capabilities due to seasonal ice formations typical of the Baltic maritime environment.
