The port was founded as the biggest grain trading place in the region.

Its intensive development started after World War II. In the 1960–80s, it became necessary to enlarge the port. So, new berths, warehouses and civic infrastructure was constructed. The port’s throughput handling exceeded 10 million tons of cargo per year; its record turnover was 13.7 million tons of cargo in 1989.

There are 37 port berths for general, bulk liquid, bulk, foodstuffs, heavy lifts and packaged cargo, as well as containers and wheeled motor cars.

Port Reni consists of 3 cargo areas and a ferry complex. The length of the berthing line is 3,927 m, and the territory covers 175.6 ha.

Cargo areas Nos. 1 and 2 are specialized in throughput handling of general cargoes.

Area No. 3 specializes in bulk cargo handling; and has a complex for throughput handling of motor trucks.

Two specialized berths operate in the port: a berth for heavy lifts, equipped with a bridge crane (cap. 250 tons); the berth’s length is 120m; and water depth at the wall is 3.6 m; a berth for handling RO-RO vessels, 85 m in length with 3.6 m depth.

The port has an oil terminal that can accommodate seagoing and river oil-carriers of up to 10,000 t. Terminal can handle 500,000 tons of petroleum products a year.

Liquefied gas transfer is also planned.

The total area of covered warehouses is 25,200 sq. m, and that of open warehouses is 246,200 sq. m.
