Ufa River Port extends along the right bank of the Belaya River and includes passenger terminals and cargo handling infrastructure. The facility functions as a major hub for goods and passengers traveling on the inland waterway network.
The port began in 1766 when a project to transport salt along the Belaya was approved, initiating commercial river use. It later grew into a major handling point for various goods and passengers.
The port displays an open-air museum with 18 anchors from different historical periods, showing how maritime technology evolved over time. Visitors can see these artifacts and understand the role of river transportation in the region's past.
