# Okhotsk Iy Reyd (RUOHO)

**UN/LOCODE:** RUOHO  
**Country:** Russia  
**Water Body:** Sea of Okhotsk; North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** River (Natural)  
**GPS:** 59.3667, 143.2000

Roughly 4,000 people live in Okhotsk (UN/LOCODE RU OHO), the town at the mouth of the Kukhtuy River that in 1647 became Russia's first permanent settlement on the Pacific and served as its main eastern naval base until 1860. The port today comprises an outer roadstead, Okhotskiy Reyd, and an inner river harbor, and it functions almost entirely as a fishing base with only limited regional trade. Cargo-pier depth is a shallow 3.4 metres and repair capacity is rated emergency-only, so the port cannot handle container ships or deep-draft bulk carriers. Sea ice closes the approaches for roughly half the year, meaning calls outside the short summer window require icebreaker support. No verified data confirms customs clearance facilities on site; shippers moving freight through Russia's Far East typically route via Vladivostok or Magadan instead.
