Under the agreements, PK Terminal will assume the usage rights of the two quays and their hinterland area used in the former steel sheet galvanizing plant, along with the Koorma 2 real estate.
The total area of the dry bulk and general cargo terminal development is 4.4ha. The agreements are valid for a period of two decades, with the option to extend for additional 15 years.
Scheduled to be achieved in the next three years, the planned capacity of the terminal will be up to 500,000t per annum.
Building a new terminal will create additional sources of revenue from the port for Tallinna Sadam due to handling of more vessel calls and collection of additional charges from cargo handling and land use.
