General overview
Estonian Ports Association gathers all active commercial ports in Estonia. Besides those, there are also smaller ports like Lehtma, Mõntu and Loksa ports, which definitely give their contribution to encourage and develope Estonian ports enterprise. Smaller ports also participate in all ports related discussions and proceedings.
There might emerge misleading understanding, that competition for trade volumes does not conduce to constructive cooperation between ports enterprisers. Still, that is not, how Estonian Ports Association builds it's philosophy.

The Estonian economy is successfully emerging from the crisis period. However, the ongoing financial crisis in Europe shows destabilizing effects on Estonian economy and monetary policy. However, the Estonian Ports Association is established to, among other things, share the will and the constructive initiative with the state and related business organizations. Ports Association considers it necessary to develop cooperation not only between ports organizations but with all active Estonian logistics cluster companies.
This unified activity in 2011 has shown some good results. The Development Plan establishes the main objectives to promote cooperation with state agencies and business organizations.
