As of 10 August 2022, the Port of Tallinn is no longer responsible for running Paljassaare, a cargo harbour located six kilometres from the capital's city centre.

Already in 2017, the Estonian port authority decided to terminate the operation and management of the Paljassaare Harbour, seeing no developmental prospects.

At the same time, Tallinn started exiting the harbour, gradually transferring the assets. In 2020, the Port of Tallinn sold the quays and other properties of the Paljassaare Harbour, while in 2021, the utility and facilities networks stopped providing services.

OÜ Hundipea has taken over as Paljassaare's port authority. It is an organisation running the EU-backed Wolfscape project, which aims to turn the industrial seaside area into Estonia's first climate-neutral neighbourhood.

The Paljassaare Harbour spans over 32.8 ha of land and 33 ha of water. It offered 1,859 m of quay wall spread across 11 berths, with a maximum water depth of 9.0 m. Vessels 190 by 30 m could call the harbour. Some 3.0mt/year were handled through Paljassaare, chiefly coal, oil products, timber, and perishables.
