Riga Port's cargo turnover in the first ten months of the year has increased by only 3.8% to 24.95 million tons, writes LETA.

 

Klaipeda Port in Lithuania posted the worst results, as it handled 22.51 million tons of cargo in the first ten months of the year, which is 11% less when compared to the same period last year.

 

The rapid reduction of cargo handled at Klaipeda Port has allowed Ventspils Port overtake the Lithuanian port in cargo turnover. In the first ten months of the year, Ventspils Port handled 22.72 million tons of cargo, which is a 3.5% reduction when compared to the first ten months of 2008.
