Pallet delivery to Latvia

Latvia is located at the edge of the European Union, bordering Russia and the other two Baltic countries, Estonia and Lithuania. Given its position, Latvia is a transit country for goods coming from Russian hinterland and other CIS countries, bound for Europe.

A characteristic that sets Latvia apart in the EU is the fact that the country has the lowest share of road freight while registering the highest share in rail freight. Latvia is the only European country where over 60% of the total freight volume is transported via railways. There are four main freight corridors linking Russia to the three major ports on the Baltic sea.

Road freight is mainly used for consolidated cargoes, which cannot be accommodated via railways. The country has to make further infrastructure investments to modernise its railways and increase road bearing capacity.

Latvia’s main seaports are Riga, Ventspils (the leading port on the Baltic Sea) and Liepaja which are well connected by railways. Rail freight forwarders have pointed out that the system and the machinery which handles cargo at the port terminals need improvement in order to accommodate a higher load and allow for faster handling time.

Concerning air freight, despite the fact that the Riga airport is the largest in the Baltics, the amount of freight handled is relatively small.
