In 2025 Q2, 3.5 million tons of cargo and 2.2 million passengers passed through the harbours of Tallinna Sadam. Compared to the same period previous year, the number of passengers increased by 3.8% i.e. 81 thousand passengers. Cargo volumes increased 8% i.e. 253 thousand tons. The number of vessel calls increased by 2.1%. The number of passengers travelling between the Estonian mainland and the main islands increased by 2.4%, the number of vehicles increased by 3.4%. The number of charter days of the icebreaker Botnica declined 63% comparing to last year.
According to Valdo Kalm, the Chairman of the Board of Tallinna Sadam, operational volumes in the second quarter show positive growth in cargo volumes and passenger numbers. "We see continuous increase in liquid bulk, which is related to the movement of project-based goods of European origin. In terms of bulk cargo, growth has been driven by the transport of grain, crushed stone and wood pellets. The number of passengers has also increased, including 4.3% on the Tallinn-Helsinki route, which celebrated its 60th anniversary this summer.", said Kalm.
In cargo volumes liquid bulk (+115 thousand tonnes i.e +37%) and dry bulk (+163 thousand tonnes i.e +34%) increased the most. Only ro-ro cargo showed a decline.
The number of passengers on the Tallinn-Helsinki route increased by +4.3% and among cruise passengers by +25%. In addition to Finns and Germans, the number of passengers from distant countries - such as China, the United States and Japan - has increased.
The increase in ship visits was 46% for cruise ships, 4.5% for cargo ships, and 0.6% for passenger ships.
