    Kaliningrad is out of the way


    Seaport of Kaliningrad was affected by the world economic recession most of all. Overall cargo turnover of stevedoring companies decreased by 20.5% (to 9 million 335 thousand tons) in January-September 2009 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. To manage the situation the anclave port has to attract a part of cargo flow from the Baltics. But state support is required for the undertaking especially railway rates reduction.
