Port of Vyborg

In 1527, Vyborg was officially recognized as a "staple city" with the right to receive foreign ships. The port of Vyborg was founded on the intersection of waterways between the Gulf of Finland, the shipping system of Lake Saimaa and the Vuoksa River.

Due to the close proximity of the bay and the Saima River, the city quickly became a major trading port through which trade with German merchants proceeded. At the end of the XIX century, the merchant fleet of Vyborg consisted of 126 ships. Passenger service was also established: regular flights were carried out to Helsingfors, Ganges and Abo (Turku), Lappeenranta. Initially, the port of Vyborg was divided into external and internal, and the internal port was divided into South and North.

The modern Vyborg port is the Southern port, located in the center of the city of Vyborg. Since 2005, it has been called Port Vyborgsky.

The author of the layout of the port of Vyborg and adjacent buildings was Professor Otto Ivart Meurman. The building of the Port Authority was built in 1899 by the architect J. Blomkvist. The architectural ensemble of the building is represented by an eclectic style that prevailed at the end of the XIX century. Vyborg port positions itself in the market of port services as a universal port specializing in transshipment of various types of general, bulk and bulk, food and chemical bulk cargoes. Currently, the port has 13 berths, which are located along the coastline of the Vyborg Bay. Berth 1 is intended for passenger ships and the rest for cargo handling.
