The decline in cargo handling volumes in November was mainly
a result of the decreased liquid cargoes handled by the Muuga port, while other
cargo groups increased. The volumes of containers and rolling stock increased
by respectively 3.9% and 10%, Port of Tallinn said on Monday.
The volume of containers in twenty-foot equivalents (TEU)
grew by 3.8%. Compared with November 2015 the volume of bulk cargoes and mixed
cargoes grew by 8% and 9.9%, respectively.
In the first 11 months of the year cargo carriage fell 10.6%
to 18.6 mln tons.
The ports received 140 visits by freight ships during the
month and 1,631 visits during the 11-month period.
