Port Overview
Arkhangelsk Port (RUARH) is a critical maritime gateway located in the northwestern region of Russia, strategically positioned on the White Sea in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. As a key northern maritime hub, the port plays a pivotal role in Russia’s Arctic maritime infrastructure, serving as a crucial point for regional trade, resource export, and strategic maritime operations. Situated at 64.5378°N, 40.5341°E, Arkhangelsk represents an essential connection point for maritime commerce in the challenging Arctic maritime environment.
Geographic Location & Access
Positioned at the mouth of the Northern Dvina River, Arkhangelsk offers a unique geographic advantage for maritime operations in the Arctic region. The port benefits from a natural deep-water approach with relatively stable navigation conditions during the ice-free season. Despite its high latitude location, the port maintains strategic importance due to its access to critical shipping routes connecting Northern Europe with Russia’s Arctic and Siberian regions.
The port experiences a subarctic maritime climate characterized by long, cold winters and short, mild summers. Navigation is typically possible from June to October, with ice-breaking support available during shoulder seasons. The approach channels are well-maintained, with carefully managed depths to accommodate various vessel types typical of Arctic maritime trade.
