The Port of Kołobrzeg recorded significant increases in port functions in Kołobrzeg, almost returning to the results from 2019, i.e. before the covid-19 pandemic. Despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the unstable economic situation and the energy crisis, the intended goals were achieved.
Last year, 170,000 tons of goods were transshipped at the Commercial Port and this result is in line with the development trend of the Port of Kołobrzeg. The share of new cargo in the annual volume was 46%, of which 42% was corn grain (nearly 71,000 tons of this grain were handled). The transhipment structure in 2022 also included such cargoes as wood (30%), pellets (14%), agro-type cargoes (6.2%), aggregates (5.7%) and other (2.1%).

From the area covered by military operations, the port of Kołobrzeg handled, among others, corn, beet pulp, sunflower meal and ferrosilicon. It was possible thanks to the use of a railway siding.
The port of Kołobrzeg is not only about reloading. As a tourist destination, Kołobrzeg actively uses the activities of the so-called of the white fleet.
