Muuga Harbour (Estonian:Muuga sadam) is the largestcargoport inEstonia, located on the southern coast of theGulf of Finland, 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of the capitalTallinn, inMaardu. The harbour is administrated byPort of Tallinn, the biggest port authority in Estonia. Muuga Harbour is one of the few ice-free ports in northernmost Europe and among the deepest —up to 18 metres (59 ft) — and most modern ports in the Baltic Sea region. The cargo volume handled accounts for around 80% of the total cargo volume of Port of Tallinn and approximately 90% of the transit cargo volume passing through Estonia. Nearly 3/4 of cargo loaded in Muuga Harbour includes crude oil and oil products, but the harbour also serves dry bulk (mostly fertilizers, grain and coal) and other types of cargo.
Hamburg's HHLA has had a terminal in the port since 2018. This means that Muuga is networked with the ports ofHamburg,Odessa andTrieste via the logistics group HHLA, also with regard to theSilk Road.[2][3][4]
The usual annual cargo traffic in the seaport is about 20–30 million tons. The harbour covers an area of 5.24 square kilometres (2.02 sq mi) on land and 7.5 square kilometres (2.9 sq mi) of water. Besides Maardu, the seaport also occupies land in the villages ofMuuga andUusküla.
