Port Overview
Tobolsk Port (RUTOX) is a strategic maritime facility located in the Tyumen Oblast region of Western Siberia, Russia, positioned at the confluence of the Tobol and Irtysh rivers. Situated at 58.2136°N, 68.2495°E, this inland river port plays a critical role in the transportation infrastructure of the Siberian economic region, serving as a vital link in Russia’s complex inland waterway network. Despite its inland location, Tobolsk Port is a significant logistics hub for regional industrial and agricultural cargo movements, particularly supporting the resource-rich Siberian economic zone.
