About This Seaport
A record year: in 2025 Klaipeda (LT KLJ) handled 1.31 million TEU and 39 million tonnes of cargo, with container traffic up 22%. As Lithuania's only deep-water port, it stays ice-free year-round, offers a channel depth of about 15 m and takes ships up to 400 m long. Across more than 30 terminals it handles containers, RoRo/RoPax, dry and liquid bulk, general and project cargo. The main box operators are Klaipėdos Smeltė (part of MSC-linked Terminal Investment Limited) and the KKT terminal, with growth increasingly driven by transshipment after a deepening of the navigation channel. RoPax ferries link the port to Kiel, Karlshamn and other Baltic destinations. Forwarders should note that the once-large rail transit of Belarusian potash and Russian freight has largely disappeared since the 2022 sanctions, reshaping the hinterland mix. Two rail stations and motorways toward Kaunas and Vilnius now form the inland connection. For alternatives in the region, Riga and Ventspils (Latvia) and Gdańsk and Gdynia (Poland) are the closest options.
