About Port of Muuga

Also known as: Muuga Sadam, Muuga-Port Of Tallin

Muuga Harbour is Estonia's largest cargo port, situated on the Gulf of Finland. It handles a significant portion of the country's transit cargo, including bulk, container, and general cargo. The port features deep berths capable of accommodating various vessel types.

Background
Muuga Harbour is the largest cargo port in Estonia, located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of the capital Tallinn, in Maardu. The harbour is administrated by Port of Tallinn, the biggest port authority in Estonia. Muuga Harbour is one of the few ice-free ports in northernmost Europe and among the deepest —up to 18 metres (59 ft) — and most modern ports in the Baltic Sea region. The cargo volume handled accounts for around 80% of the total cargo volume of Port of Tallinn and approximately 90% of the transit cargo volume passing through Estonia. Nearly 3/4 of cargo loaded in Muuga Harbour includes crude oil and oil products, but the harbour also serves dry bulk and other types of cargo.
