Magadan

The Port of Magadan extends across 32 hectares along Nagayevo Bay, featuring 13 berths that accommodate various types of cargo shipping operations.

The port commenced operations in 1933 as a supply center for the Kolyma goldfields, later becoming a transit point for political prisoners during Stalin's regime.

The regional museum of anthropology near the port documents the maritime history and presents geological exhibitions about the mineral resources of the region.

The port operates throughout the year with icebreaker support, processing over 4 million tons of cargo including containers, oil products, and general freight.

The Port of Magadan received authorization in 2016 to handle nuclear materials and radioactive substances, expanding its strategic capabilities in the Russian Far East.
