About This Seaport
Around 100,000 tonnes of coal leave Barentsburg each year, shipped from a single quay at the foot of this Russian mining settlement on Svalbard. The port and the town are run by the Russian state company Arktikugol; supplies for the workforce arrive by general-cargo vessel, such as the Norbjørn that also serves Longyearbyen. Under the Svalbard Treaty the archipelago is a customs-free zone, but in practice the berth handles only Arktikugol's own coal exports and resupply, not third-party trade. There is no hinterland network — no roads link the settlements, and movement is by sea, helicopter or snowmobile. For freight forwarders Barentsburg is of marginal relevance, and general cargo to Svalbard is better routed via Longyearbyen.
