The anniversary celebration is scheduled for September 17th. The port of Dudinka was singled out as an independent unit in November 1937, but for a long time December 1944 was considered its birthday. Ten years ago, in 2012, the port celebrated its 75th anniversary ‘according to the new style’ counting from the day when the Norilskstroy head Vladimir Matveyev ordered to organize the Dudinka Freight Expedition of the Transport Department.
In the coming year, the Nornickel’s Polar Transport Branch’s round date coincides with the anniversary of Dudinka, which has been counting down since 1667.
