Around 400,000 TEU pass through the commercial port at Litke Bay each year, alongside general cargo, Ro-Ro, reefer and cruise traffic — the freight side of Kronshtadt (RU KDT), an island port on Kotlin in the Gulf of Finland. Administratively part of the Port of St Petersburg, it sits 60 km west of the city behind the Gulf flood-protection barrier. Kronshtadt also hosts a major Baltic Fleet naval base and the Kronstadt Marine Plant, the largest ship-repair yard in northwest Russia, with four dry docks. Hinterland movement runs through St Petersburg by road and rail. Shippers seeking pure container capacity typically use the larger St Petersburg terminals (Bronka, Petrolesport) or Ust-Luga, while Kronshtadt's strength lies in ship repair and heavy-lift work.
