Ports of the Baltic Sea

In 2008, the total amount of cargo handled in the Baltic Sea ports amounted to 822.4 million tonnes, which was 0.4 per cent less than in 2007. Primorsk, Saint Petersburg and Ust-Luga were the biggest ports in the Baltic Sea in 2008. Together the three top ports handled over one fifth of total cargo volumes  in the Baltic Sea in 2008.
