One of the port's owners Tiit Vähi said that the container terminal is completed in the construction and technical sense. It has 15.5 metres of depth which means that it can receive all ships that come via the Danish straits.
"The quay line reaches a kilometre. Next year we will build also a railway station and railcar loading capacities," he said.
Some ships have already visited the terminal for test loading but busier work should start next spring. Vähi said that the port is working on contracts in the European and Russian directions.
Vähi believes that the terminal will gear up in April, and they can have around 200 or 300 containers of goods to handle every week.
