Close

Until 1961, there was a river pier, later it was transformed into a river port.^[5] The goods that passed through it were intended primarily for the construction of the city and region (early AD),^[6] so the turnover was small. The situation has changed since 1986, when Cherkasy urea went to Vietnam and India through the port. The port also began transshipment of lumber to Turkey, Cherkasy peat - to France. In the 1990s, sugar cane from Brazil was delivered by barge through the port to the Cherkasy Sugar Refinery, which was then processed into sugar.

In 1996, the Cherkasy River Port Joint Stock Company was established.
