Ust-Port ( Russian Усть-Порт ) is a small Russian fishing settlement with 338 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010) at the mouth of the Yenisei in the North Sea. The place is located in the Krasnoyarsk region in the former Taimyr Autonomous Okrug , today's Taimyr Raion of the Dolgans and Nenets. It belongs to the rural community Karaulskoje selskoje posselenije.

Mammoth bones found in the tundra at Ust-Port

In 1923, the port in Ust-Port was put into operation, but it is unprotected and therefore exposed to offshore weather and quickly lost its importance again after the Igarka Bay was discovered . Storage areas for refrigerated products were built in the permafrost , the temperature of which is always between −21 and −24 ° C; an attached factory processes the fish from the Yenisei. Stalin had a similar system built in Nowy Port on the Ob River in the 1940s for a fishing fleet and an attached fish factory. Fur farming was also given up long ago.

Most of the residents live in the summer as reindeer herders on the tundra or as fishermen on the Yenisei.

After the Wankor oil field had been developed , a pipeline to Ust-Port was considered, but due to the long winter blockade of the port by ice, this was rejected in favor of a 750-kilometer pipeline with loading in Dikson on the northern polar route.
