Port of Tallinn
Port of Tallinn is the biggest port authority in Estonia and as far as both cargo and passenger traffic are taken into account, the biggest port on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
In order to fit effectively into the competitive environment, Port of Tallinn underwent a complete restructuring process in the mid 1990s by developing from a service port into a port of landlord type. In 1999, the last cargo handling operations were finally given into the hands of private companies.
Today, Port of Tallinn operates as a landlord type of port with no cargo handling operations of its own. It is maintaining and developing the infrastructure of the port and leasing territories to terminal operators through building titles giving the operators an incentive to invest into superstructure and technology.
Port of Tallinn consists of five constituent harbours:
Old City Harbour is one of the biggest and busiest passenger ports in the Baltic region. It is also the biggest passenger harbour for both Port of Tallinn and Estonia.
Tallink, Eckerö Line and Viking Line boats and ferries depart from the Old City Harbour for Helsinki, as well as the Tallink vessels operated on the Tallinn Stockholm route.
Old City Marina
Modern marina for recreational vessels in the very heart of Tallinn – sheltered from strong winds and waves.
Located in the city centre, within walking distance of everything a seaborne traveller might need.
Muuga Harbour
Muuga Harbour is the biggest cargo harbour in Estonia and specialized on handling transit origin goods. It is the main cargo harbour for Port of Tallinn and locates ca 17 km east of Tallinn.
The cargo volume handled accounts for around 80% of the total cargo volume of Port of Tallinn and approximately 90% of the transit cargo volume passing through Estonia. Nearly 3/4 of cargo loaded in Muuga Harbour includes crude oil and oil products, but the harbour also serves dry bulk (mostly fertilizers, grain and coal) and other types of cargo.
Muuga Harbour is among the deepest (up to 18 m) and most modern ports in the Baltic Sea region.

Paldiski South Harbour
Paldiski South Harbour, the Port of Tallinn´s second cargo harbour, is located 45 km west of Tallinn.
The core activity of the harbour is focused on the handling of Estonian export and import cargo and transit cargo. Mainly ro-ro cargo, scrap metal, timber, peat and oil products are handled there. Developing fields of activity include transit of new cars for neighboring markets and pre-sale service.
Paljassaare Harbour
Paljassaare Harbour is situated on Paljassaare Peninsula in Tallinn, approximately 6 kilometres from the centre of the city. With the handling capacity of some 3 million tonnes per year the harbour is considerably smaller than its 2 bigger brothers - Muuga and Old City Harbour.
Saaremaa Harbour
Saaremaa Harbour has 2 quays available for vessels accompanied by a quay for auxiliary vessels and a floating berth for small crafts.
The new harbour with the depth alongside the quay of 10 meters is capable of servicing ships with the length of up to 200 m. The natural depth of the harbour location is sufficient for receiving the biggest cruise ships sailing in the Baltic Sea.
Due to its favourable geographical location on the north-western coast of the island, Saaremaa Harbour has potential to host regional cruises and also to develop regular passenger lines between Scandinavia and Saaremaa Island.
