The port is located in the center of Belgrade, near Pančevo Bridge. It also manages the passenger terminal on the nearby Sava river.[2] The port transfer capacity is three million tons per year and 10,000 TEUs. It also has 300,000 square meters of warehouses and 650,000 square meters of open-air storage areas.
History
The port has operated since 1961.[2] In 2005, a Luxemburg-based company "Worldfin" owned by Delta Holding and Milan Beko, bought the Port of Belgrade from the City of Belgrade for a sum of 40 million euros.[3] The transaction was in later years annulled and since then it is the subject of judicial process between "Worldfin" and state authorities.[4]
As of 2018, the Port of Belgrade is the most developed port in Serbia.[5] The most common load goods are salt, sugar, concrete iron, paper, pipes and artificial fertilizers.[5]
