Dudinka is located around 300 km north of the Arctic Circle in the northeast part of the West Siberian lowlands. It is located to the northwest of the Lontokoiski-Kamen Mountains (max. 760  m ), the outer northwest foothills of the Central Siberian Mountains at the confluence of the Dudinka , which comes from the south-east, into the Yenisei .

The port of Dudinka belongs to the Norilsk Nickel company and is both sea and river port. The port is located on the right bank of the Yenisei and 350 km from the confluence with the Yenisei Gulf. In the port there are two canals that are separated by the island of Kabatskim. One is navigable with a depth of 12 to 33 m and a width of up to 2 km, the other is not navigable with a depth of between two and ten meters. The port is connected to Norilsk by the A-382 road and the Norilsk Railway .

Since 1978 ships to Dudinka have been made possible all year round with icebreakers. Only in June there is no boat trip, as the ice melt causes the river to rise approx. 15 m. All port facilities are then flooded. All port cranes are dismantled beforehand and stored at a safe distance for this period (see photo).

Around 4.5 million tons of goods, mainly metals, are handled in Dudinka and shipped to Murmansk .
