On June 13, the delegacy of Saaremaa municipality and mayor Madis Kallas arrived in Ventspils Freeport Authority to discuss the progress made in restoring the ferry traffic and to agree on the further actions with the representatives of Ventspils municipality and Freeport. Both sides are willing to restore ferry service in the 2019 tourism season.

Last week, from 16 to 18 May, Ventspils Freeport Authority participated in one of the most significant events of Asian transport and logistics industry – the exhibition Transport & Logistic China 2018 which took place in Shanghai, China.

The largest exhibition for transport and logistics services and technologies in Russia and former CIS countries TransRussia 2018 was held in Moscow between April 17 and 19. The delegation of Ventspils Freeport Authority and the representatives of the terminals operating in Ventspils also participated in this event.

On Tuesday 10 April, during the Latvia-Central Asia business forum, Ventspils hosted a delegation of entrepreneurs from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Bucher Municipal has been operating in the Freeport of Ventspils Authority for 12 years and has rapidly expanded its volume of production. A few weeks ago, a new production line of compact municipal machine C201 was launched. This development has allowed to start completing the project Spirit implemented by the international Bucher Industries Group. 

After its modernisation, the Ventspils Grain Terminal, which has been operating in the Freeport of Ventspils for 12 years, has not only significantly increased its capacity but can now also handle and transfer a much larger range of agricultural products.

To strengthen its business position in Scandinavia, as well as to serve the rising demand, the company Stena Line ensures a ferry timetable that is more frequent and more adapted to client needs and it also provides a long-term growth-orientated solution with a new timetable.

Two new assembly lines were opened at Ventspils factory of the manufacturer of municipal vehicles Bucher Municipal. From now on new generation two- and four-cylinder street sweeping machines, which previously were manufactured at Butcher Municipal’s factories in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, will be manufactured in Ventspils.  

Freeport of Ventspils Authority has finished the six years long project regarding reconstruction and building of access roads of the terminals of the Port of Ventspils and industrial zones. 48 sections of streets and squares of Ventspils at the total length of 28.7 kilometres and at the area of 14.6 hectares respectively have been re-built and restored. Nearly 36 million euro have been invested in the streets and squares of Ventspils within this project financed by the EU Cohesion Fund.
