Port of Klaipėda announces Call for Expressions of Interest in Klaipėda Southport Development Project
KLAIPEDA : The Port of Klaipėda has officially announced a request for expressions of interest (EOI) in the Klaipėda Southport Development Project – the most extensive expansion in the port’s history. This landmark project aims to significantly increase Klaipėda’s cargo handling capacity and create new opportunities for advanced industrial and logistics operations.
“The Southport Development Project is a transformative step for the Port of Klaipėda and for Lithuania’s maritime economy. We are opening the door for world-class terminal operators and industrial companies to establish operations in a strategically advantageous location. This is a unique opportunity to invest in the future of Baltic maritime trade,” comments Algis Latakas, CEO of the Port of Klaipėda Authority.
The Port of Klaipėda is inviting qualified international and domestic port terminal operators, industrial developers, and investors to submit expressions of interest. The request outlines the anticipated commercial framework and the proposed public-private partnership structure.
The Klaipėda Southport Development Project involves reclaiming approximately 100 hectares of new port territory and constructing 1.3 kilometers of new quays. The development is designed to host state-of-the-art port terminals, manufacturing facilities, and other high-value industrial activities, reinforcing Klaipėda’s position as the largest and most dynamic port in the Baltic States.
Preparatory work is well underway, with the technical feasibility study, navigational study, environmental impact assessment, geotechnical investigations, and commercial structuring progressing on schedule. The construction permit is expected by the end of 2025, ensuring that the project remains aligned with its planned timeline.
