About This Seaport
A floating nuclear power plant, the Akademik Lomonosov, moored off the quay supplies the electricity that keeps Pevek and its harbour running through the polar winter. Sitting on Chaunskaya Bay off the East Siberian Sea, Pevek is the northernmost town-port in Russia and the principal gateway for Chukotka via the Northern Sea Route. Its core business is inbound fuel — coal from Beringovsky and oil — plus equipment for the region's gold and tin mining. Navigation is seasonal and ice-bound, yet throughput reached about 377,000 tonnes in 2024, and a new year-round terminal in Chaunskaya Bay, commissioned in 2026, is designed to lift capacity toward 2 million tonnes. The port long served as the eastern operations base of the Northern Sea Route. Shippers needing year-round or larger-scale handling turn to Murmansk, the route's western base, or to Tiksi.
