AS Sillamäe Sadam

AS Sillamäe Sadam, operating under the brand name Silport, is a privately owned Estonian port company based in Sillamäe on Narva Bay in Ida-Viru County, north-eastern Estonia. According to its official website, it is Estonia's largest private port, the country's second-largest commercial seaport by cargo turnover, and the fifth-largest in the Baltic states. The port occupies a 750-hectare territory and is a multifunctional deep-water harbour with alongside depths of up to 16 metres, allowing it to serve vessels entering the Baltic Sea through the Danish straits. It opened for international shipping traffic on 14 October 2005. Silport is structured as a landlord-type port: the company owns and develops the port territory and infrastructure, while terminal operators and industrial enterprises build and run their own facilities on site. The port operates year-round and around the clock (24/7) and sits within a Type I free zone, which permits goods to be handled with a 0% value-added tax rate. Its location in north-eastern Estonia gives it access to combined sea, rail, road and air logistics, and it plays a significant role in Estonia's transport system, particularly in the north-east of the country, as well as in international logistics. The port's tenant and terminal ecosystem includes Silpower, Silsteve, Puma Energy Baltics, DBT and Eurochem, according to the official website. Beyond cargo handling, Silport promotes an industrial park model and project cargo services, and it provides practical information such as port rules, railway station rules, port plans, water area charts and weather data. The company presents itself as the easternmost port of the European Union in the Baltic Sea. AS Sillamäe Sadam is wholly privately owned. Its official website is available in Estonian, Russian and English, reflecting its orientation toward both domestic and international markets, especially trade with Russia and the wider Baltic region. The port's strategic position near the EU's eastern external border makes it a notable node in regional transport and logistics.
