Port of Sillamäe (SILPORT) is: - the most eastern port of the EU;
- a deep-sea port;
- navigable all year round;
- a multifunctional port;
- privately owned;
- a Free Zone.
It is located only 25 km from the EU-Russian border and, hence, can serve as an efficient platform for the distribution of goods to neighbouring markets of: - Russia and the CIS in the East
- Scandinavia and the EU in the West
As a multifunctional port, SILPORT has an infra- and superstructure capable to handle all cargo groups from oil-products and dry bulk to containerised cargo. Natural depth of up to 16 m at the quaysides of the port are sufficient for servicing the largest vessels that can enter the Baltic Sea through the Danish Straights.
Sillamäe Free Zone status (with 0% taxes and duties) in combination with the liberal fiscal policy of Estonia (0% corporate income tax on retained earnings) provides companies an efficient business environment in SILPORT for value-added distribution and manufacturing in the region.
