Abstract. River and sea ports are areas where transport activity is concentrated, inevitably resulting in noise pollution in the surrounding area. This is a serious problem, affecting both the lives of residents near these sources and the health of coastal biota and aquatic organisms. Constantly high noise levels will have a negative psycho-emotional and physiological impact on people living in residential areas. Coastal animals and fish may also experience stress and disorientation due to noise pollution from noise sources, which at such facilities most often include ships, loading and unloading equipment, transport, and infrastructure.

This paper examines a river port with a small annual cargo turnover. To assess the noise pollution level of this facility, an inventory of all noise sources was conducted and 31 reference points were selected, including 11 at the boundary of the residential area, 10 at the boundary of the sanitary protection zone, and 10 at the boundary of the industrial zone, for which the equivalent and maximum sound levels were calculated. It was shown that, given the existing list of noise sources, the establishment of a sanitary protection zone is not required at this facility. This approach could be implemented for other similar facilities. However, the obtained results do not correspond to the estimated maximum permissible sound level for near-aquatic biota, which may cause negative behavioral and physiological reactions in living creatures.
