Route Ukraine — Baltic countries

The international Ukraine - Baltic Countries route connects Ukraine with Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia through Belarus or Poland. The distance from Kyiv to Vilnius is about 750 km, to Riga - 1050 km, and to Tallinn - 1200 km. The Baltic countries are EU members and important trading partners, with their ports (Klaipeda, Riga, Tallinn) serving as alternative points for maritime exports. Major goods from Ukraine to the Baltics: grain, oil, rolled metal, fertilizers, timber, and food products. From the Baltic countries, fish products, electronics, chemical products, construction materials, and transit goods from Scandinavia are transported. Baltic ports serve a significant portion of Ukrainian grain exports as an alternative to Black Sea ports. The route can pass through Belarus (the shortest path: Kyiv - Chernihiv - Gomel - Minsk - Vilnius) or through Poland (longer, but without transit through Belarus). The choice of route depends on the geopolitical situation and the availability of transit permits. Carriers must have CEMT permits or bilateral permits for the respective countries. Customs clearance is performed at the EU border. CarGoPro helps carriers on the Baltic route find cargo for long international trips with guaranteed return loads. Grain traders and industrial enterprises post orders through the platform, and the tender system allows securing contracts for regular trips to Baltic ports.
