Port of Sillamäe (AS Sillamäe Sadam) is the second largest maritime cargo port in Estonia, playing an ever increasing role in the Estonian and especially North-Eastern Estonian transport system and economy as a whole. The privately owned Port of Sillamäe sits only 25 km from the EU - Russian border, thus enabling efficient transit between the European Union and Russia and CIS nations. As a multifunctional port, the Port of Sillamäe benefits from infrastructures and superstructures that permit handling of all groups of goods from oil and bulk goods to container goods. The water depth at the quay is up to 16 m, enabling servicing of all ships entering the Baltic Sea through the Danish straits.
