G-10 The transportation of the coal produced in the Ereğli Coal Basin was provided by the sea via the mouths and piers. As the loading docks became insufficient over time, the necessity of building a port for faster and high-capacity loading arose. The first port in Zonguldak was built in 1896 by Ereğli Company Osmaniyesi. Zonguldak port concession was given to Ereğli Company, which built the railways reaching Zonguldak port and mining areas in 1912. Facilities such as rapid charging facility and wagon counting office were established in the port.

After the Republic, Ereğli Company was purchased through Etibank and the port concession was transferred to Ereğli Coals Enterprise in 1936. The port was used until the 1950s by repairing and constructing additional facilities many times. Due to the fact that the port could not meet the need in time, it was decided to expand the port and the facilities, and in 1953, the expansion of the port and the construction of the loading facilities were carried out within the framework of the EKİ Management Program. The new Zonguldak washroom and loading facilities were put into operation in August 1957.

Since 1996, the port has been allocated as "Customs Area" and "Car Park for Trucks" and thus "Ro-Ro Transportation" services have been started.
