Looking to trade, invest, build, retrofit or innovate in the maritime industry?
Located on the Gulf of Finland with direct access to the Baltic Sea, Estonia is well positioned for maritime business in Northern Europe.
Deep-water cargo ports, specialised shipyards, industrial areas and testing capabilities provide the infrastructure for shipbuilding, repair, retrofit and other maritime projects.
From newbuild to refit and repair, Estonia brings the full cycle of maritime expertise together in one place.
Estonian yards build workboats, patrol and rescue vessels, and leisure craft, working with aluminium, steel, HDPE and composites. Capabilities span design, construction, fit-out and onboard systems.
Three drydock-equipped yards handle repair and refit, delivering more than 300 projects a year, while specialised Estonian teams also support shipyards internationally.
Estonian companies develop, build and retrofit solutions that reduce vessel emissions and fuel use.
Estonia is advancing lower-emission shipping through the FinEst Green Corridor and solutions such as SRC’s methanol superstorage and ShoreLink’s shore power systems.

Estonia combines maritime expertise with the capabilities of one of the world’s most digitally advanced societies. A digital-first public sector makes it easier to establish, manage and grow maritime operations in Estonia.
Digitalisation extends to maritime operations themselves. The Port of Tallinn runs one of the most automated smart passenger ports in Europe, with automated gates, cargo tracking, check-in and truck weighing supporting traffic between Tallinn and Helsinki.
