The activity of a river port is based on the reception of ships, their loading and unloading, as well as the storage of goods. To improve the efficiency of port administrations, improvement and implementation of new approaches to the transportation and storage of goods is required, which also includes the use of geographic information systems. The capabilities of the cartographic research method for constructing a geographic information model of the river port, analyze existing GIS of this topic are considered. Based on the analysis, the software was selected, the main cartographic and statistical sources were selected to create a geographic information system, and a database of the designed GIS was developed. General geographical and thematic objects are shown for which map symbols were designed. The indicators of the direction of the river flow are obtained, on the basis of which it is planned to obtain data on cargo flows.
