Freeport of Riga

Riga Free Port (Latvian: Rīgas brīvosta) is a major port on the east coast of the Baltic Sea, located in Riga, the capital of Latvia. It stretches for 15 km (9.3 mi) along both banks of the Daugava. Within the city limits, the area of the port is 1,962 ha (4, 850 acres), with a water area of 6,348 ha (15, 690 acres). Navigation is carried out year-round. Most of the cargo turnover is made up of transit cargo to and from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The main objects of cargo handling are coal, oil products, timber, fertilizer and container cargo. While the Ventspils Free Port and Liepaja Port specialize in export, a significant part of the activities of the Freeport of Riga is import. In the early 2000s, the goods arriving at the Riga port amounted to 70 percent of the incoming freight turnover of all the Latvian ports taken together. In 2012, the Freeport of Riga took fourth place in overall cargo turnover among the ports of the eastern Baltic (after Primorsk, St. Petersburg and Ust-Luga) and third place in container freight turnover (after St. Petersburg and Klaipeda).
