Paldiski South Harbour: A Key Port in Estonia

Paldiski South Harbour is a crucial port in Estonia, strategically located on the Baltic Sea coast. It's situated near the town of Paldiski.

The harbour is an important cargo port, handling a significant portion of Estonia's international trade. It's also a major hub for the transportation of goods to and from the country.

Paldiski South Harbour is a key gateway for trade between Estonia and other European countries, as well as for global trade.

Paldiski South Harbour is a vital part of the Port of Tallinn's operations, with a significant investment of 1.8 million euros made to increase its capacity. The harbour is mainly used for handling ro-ro goods, scrap metal, timber, peat, and petroleum products.

The harbour's investment will allow larger vessels with a gross tonnage up to 75,000 GT to be docked, making it more competitive in the region. This will support the harbour's growth and attract new customers.
