Port of Korsakov (Russian: Порт Корсаков) is a Russian seaport located on Sakhalin Island, on the shores of Aniva Bay, within the city of Korsakov, Sakhalin Oblast.

History
The Japanese began construction of the port of Korsakov in 1907. Initially, from 1907 to 1912, a 142-meter-long wooden pier was built on the site of the now-existing South . The depths of the berths were 3 meters. The pier was connected to the shore by a bridge. In 1920, work began on the reconstruction of the pier, and in 1923 the bridge. In 1928, civil engineering work was completed to reconstruct the South Pier, which is a gravitational-type structure. The mooring wall is made of massive folds and a concrete superstructure. The head part is made of reinforced concrete masses of giants installed on a stone bed. An iron-concrete parapet was built to protect against unrest.
Later, work was done to expand the port: in 1939 the North Pier was built, which is a gravitational type structure from giant arrays, the length of the giant array is 15 m, the width is 7.2 m and the height is between 9.4 to 9.65 m. The pier consists of 9 berths with a length of 1,058.7 m. Bank protection in the area of the power plant is 91 m. Out of 9 berths, two berths (Nos. 1, 9) are inactive due to shallow depths.
After the end of World War II and the invasion of South Sakhalin by the Soviet Union, in August 1946, based on cargo turnover and its importance as a transhipment point, the Korsakov Sea Commercial Port was established.
Based on the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Union of the RSFSR of July 5, 1946, on the territorial administrative structure of the South Sakhalin Region by order of the Minister of the Navy No. 935 of August 8 1946, based on cargo turnover, its importance as a transhipment point, its technological equipment for berths, transhipment routes, the Korsakov Sea Trade Port of the first category was created.

During 1969-1971, all three boilers were converted from solid to liquid fuel. Mechanical workshops are located on the territory of a small bucket.The repair and construction department of the port had a construction yard, a carpentry workshop with machine tools, a sawmill workshop. The port fleet has had 32 submarines since 1949 (tugboats, boats, ram boats, barges).
