The real history of Kunda-port dates back to the year of 1805 when the Russian tsar, Alexander I, granted by a written order a permit to establish, at the mouth of the Kunda River, a port which greatly expanded economic development in the whole region. Today's commercial Port of Kunda, re-opened as a greenfield project in 1994, thus starting the new history, is the most important regional sea-gate undertaking in the whole area. Approximately 600 ships call annually bringing in and taking out approx. 1,5 million tonnes of different goods.
