Port of Tallinn industrial parks:
Muuga Industrial Park is located in Muuga Harbour, the largest and deepest cargo harbour in Estonia. The total area of the industrial park is 75 ha.
Muuga Industrial Park is an ideal location for warehousing and distribution services providers and commodities producers whose target market is the Eastern Baltic region, including Russian Federation. The Industrial Park is also suitable for businesses producing EU commodities from Russian raw materials.
The industrial park's location in the port area next to the container, general cargo and other modern terminals enables the businesses to significantly reduce transport costs.
Paldiski South Harbour Industrial Park is located 45 km west of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The total area of the industrial park is 21 ha.
With direct connection to many Western European ports, Paldiski South Harbour has become an important stop for the Baltic Sea Ro-Ro shipping lines.
This generates excellent possibilities for the future clients of the industrial park to transport the production/raw material promptly and safely.
