In 2021, Port Logistics Ltd increased transhipment volumes in the Seaport of Vyborg by 60%. Such results were reached mainly due to the 2.6 times growth of coal and coke transhipment. Transhipment of mineral fertilizers, the second largest type of cargo, also increased by 17%.

The Seaport of Vyborg cargo throughput amounted to 1.82 million t in 2021. It is 60% higher than in the same period in 2020.

The volume of bulk cargo transhipment increased by 66% up to 965 800 t. In particular, transhipment of coal and coke increased up to 454 600 t, which is approximately 2.6 times growth and transhipment of mineral fertilizers increased by 17% up to 422 600 t. Other bulk cargoes showed 2.6 times growth – up to 88 600 t.

Moreover, thanks to the cooperation of Port Logistics Ltd and Terminal Ltd (the company, whose technological complex is connected with the seaport of Vyborg), work on transhipment of liquid non-dangerous bulk at berth No. 13 has resumed in its full amount.
