KUN - SeaportPort of Klaipedaice-free
The Port of Klaipeda is Lithuania's only seaport and the northernmost ice-free port on the eastern Baltic coast, handling containers, ro-ro, bulk and liquid cargo all year round. Ferry lines connect Klaipeda with Germany and Sweden. For air freight, Palanga Airport (PLQ), north of the city, has passenger flights with limited cargo, so most air freight is routed via Kaunas (KUN) or Vilnius, reached along the A1 motorway.
The A1 motorway links Klaipeda with Kaunas and Vilnius, and the A13 leads north to Palanga and the Latvian border towards Liepaja. The port has rail connections to the national network, with container trains to inland terminals in Kaunas and Vilnius. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Klaipeda and western Lithuania.
