At the beginning of this year, two new container cargo lines have started operating in the Port of Riga. The ships of the British company Ellerman City Liners will connect the Port of Riga with the ports of Gdynia, Teesport, Tilbury and Rotterdam. Meanwhile, ships of the leading international sea container carrier company Hapag-Lloyd will operate on the route Wilhelmshaven-Hamburg-Klaipeda-Riga-Rauma-Helsinki-Wilhelmshaven. Vessels of both shipping lines will call the Port of Riga once a week.

Hapag-Lloyd is one of the world’s top global container shipping companies. Its fleet boasts 305 modern container ships with a total transport capacity of 12.5 million TEUs (20-foot container units) per year. The company employs 17,400 employees in more than 400 representative offices across 140 countries. The strategic addition of the Port of Riga to Hapag-Lloyd’s extensive network provides clients with faster, more reliable delivery solutions and enhanced global connectivity. This integration makes it easier to reach more international destinations directly from Riga.
