Klaipeda cargo record
The Lithuanian port of Klaipeda handled a record 27.36m tonnes lastyear (2007), an increase of almost 16% on 2006. At the time of writing,the forecast was another 10-15% increase for 2008, to over 30m tonnes.
Klaipeda’s ambitious future investment project is the construction of a deepwater outer harbour, to meet growth in volumes and also handle larger vessels. The new outer port could have six terminals – one each for oil, dry bulks, general cargo and LNG, and two for containers. A feasibility study will be carried out in 2009.
