Paldiski North Harbour, Commercial port in Paldiski, Estonia
Paldiski North Harbour is a commercial port facility on Paldiski Bay with five berths designed to accommodate vessels in waters reaching approximately 12 meters deep. The installation spans roughly 16 hectares of port infrastructure for loading and unloading operations.
The facility was established in 1995, converting a former Soviet military installation into a working commercial port. This transition from military to civilian use shaped the site's modern role on the Baltic coast.
The port maintains strong connections with neighboring Nordic countries through regular ferry services, enabling frequent exchanges between Estonian and Swedish communities.
The port handles diverse cargo types including scrap metal, timber, oil products, and vehicle shipments throughout the year. Visitors should expect an active working environment where ships regularly arrive and depart.
The port remains operational year-round thanks to natural protection from Vaike-Pakri island, which shields the bay from harsh winter conditions. This geographic advantage allows continuous shipping activity regardless of season.
