he port in Königsberg was put into operation on June 13, 1924.

Construction began in 1904 with the building of a shipyard. By 1924, three of the five planned port basins, each with a depth of 8 meters, were completed. The total length of the berths was 7.8 km, and 30 cranes were installed. By 1930, the Port of Königsberg had become the most modern port on the Baltic Sea.

On June 20, 1945, one of the first Soviet enterprises on the territory of the future Kaliningrad Oblast (the oblast would be established almost 10 months later) began operations — the Königsberg Commercial Sea Port (renamed Kaliningrad Commercial Sea Port on July 4, 1946), established on the basis of Order No. 269 of the People's Commissariat of the Maritime Fleet of the USSR, dated June 2, 1945.
