Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, has still not lost its significance of a medieval hanseatic town as an economic, trade and cultural centre.

Being successfully integrated into the family of the European countries, Estonia is a wonderful example of Nordic reliability and flexibility of the new Europe. The prospects and economic development of Estonia have been remarkably influenced by close relations with its neighbours – Sweden and Finland. The historical experience as a country of the former Eastern bloc, provides to Estonia an edge in communicating with the CIS countries.

PORTS

Estonian railway connections allow delivering cargo to seven ports, largest of which is the Muuga Harbour belonging to the Port of Tallinn. Estonian ports are practically ice-free, and most of them include space for new developments. The most eastbound – Port of Sillamäe – is located only 25 km from Russian-Estonian state border. Estonian ports are well connected both by railway and highway.

Depths of the quaysides of both the Muuga Harbour and the Port of Sillamäe are sufficient for servicing the largest vessels that can enter the Baltic Sea through the Danish Straights.

Investments for 2014 also include the overhaul at Muuga and Tapa-Narva line. The investment comprises foremost the renovation of reception and dispatch roads and increasing the capacity of Vaivara station, in accordance with development perspectives of port of Sillamäe. Passenger platforms at the 9 stations on the same railway line will also be renovated. One of the priorities is carrying on the renovation of worn sections of Tapa-Tartu railway line in order to maintain current traveling speeds and create perspective for higher speeds in the future.

Other larger investments include renewal of communication and security devices (traffic management systems and crossing automatics) and overhaul of railway bridges.
