The port
Paldiski South Harbour is operated by the Port of Tallinn. The port's main goods are oil products, metal, wood, peat, and passenger cars. In 2002, the existing jetties were renovated, the aquatorium was dredged and a ro-ro terminal was built. In 2021, the approach canal and turning circle were dredged to 15.5 meters, allowing tankers of up to 115 000 DWT to be served.
