Set on the Laptev Sea east of the Lena delta and above the Arctic Circle, it functions as a transfer point where sea cargo is reloaded onto river-going vessels bound for settlements along the Lena. The navigation window lasts only around 90 days, and present handling capacity is put at roughly 67,000 tonnes a year, mostly supply goods and bulk during the short summer.
