Tonnage-wise, the Estonian seaport's containerised freight traffic amounted to 507 thousand tonnes, up 0.3% on the January-March 2024 result.

Overall, the Port of Tallinn took care of 3.34mt in the reported period (-0.7% year-on-year), including also 1.59mt of wheeled (ro-ro & ferry) cargo (-4.5% yoy), 565kt of dry bulk (-21.6% yoy), 559kt of liquid bulk (+66.2% yoy), 115kt of break-bulk (-12.7% yoy), and 4.0kt of goods classified as 'non-marine' (-2.0% yoy).

Tallinn's international ferry traffic was down 3.6% yoy to just over 1.41 million travellers, of which the Helsinki service accounted for nearly 1.28m (-3.1% yoy), Stockholm - 90k (-9.1% yoy), the Muuga-Vuosaari crossing - 40k (-1.3% yoy), and passengers labelled as 'other' - the remaining 7.0k (-21.9% yoy).

TS Laevad, the Port of Tallinn's domestic ferry subsidiary, served 365k passengers (-2.1% yoy) and transported 195k vehicles (+2.1% yoy).

"[...] we are pleased with the increased volume of liquid cargo, which is related to the movement of project-based goods of European origin. Grain transport was very active in the last quarter of last year, which resulted in lower bulk cargo volumes in the first quarter. The number of passengers was on the rise in the first months of the year, but for the whole quarter we saw a certain decrease due to the postponement of Easter to April," shared Valdo Kalm, the Chairman of the Port of Tallinn's Board.
