About us
Vene-Balti Port is located on the Kopli peninsula in Tallinn. The size of our port water area is 168.3 hectares. We are open to ships year-round.
Vene-Balti Port provides towing and mooring services for ships. Our berths are equipped with essential infrastructure for the supply of fresh water, compressed air and electric power.
Founded in 2000, Vene-Balti Sadam OÜ is subsidiary of BLRT Grupp, the largest industrial holding in the Baltics. As a port authority, we are involved in berth management, enabling berthing, providing mooring services, organizing of water traffic in port’s waters and entrances, assisting towing and lifting with tugs and floating crane.
Port of Vene-Balti acquired additional pollution control equipment with the support of the KIK Marine Environment Programme.
With the aim of responding more effectively and efficiently to potential pollution incidents, Port of Vene-Balti prepared a new risk assessment and developed new scenarios for responding to pollution incidents. This led to the amendment of the existing pollution control plan, which was approved on 21.02.2024. Based on the risk assessments and the scenarios prepared on their basis, there was a need to supplement the port’s pollution control equipment to replace the old ones and acquire additional capacity: permanent booms in the floating dock area with a launching device and power supply, and additional lightweight floating booms for quick response (combined use with permanent barrier booms to close the southern basin of the port). In order to more effectively isolate and prevent the spread of pollution, the port needs absorbent booms, which can be used independently or in combination with barrier booms. To ensure operational readiness, the absorbent booms are stored on a trailer. The implementation of the project achieved the level of resources specified in the updated pollution control plan. This allows for better fulfillment of the obligations imposed on the port authority by law and contributes to the preservation of the water quality of Kopli Bay.
