AS Tallinna Sadam operational volumes for 2022 Q1

Teade

In  2022 Q1,  4.8 million  tonnes  of  cargo  and 896 thousand passengers passed
through  the harbours of Tallinna Sadam. Compared to the same period of previous
year,  the number of  passengers increased by  140% i.e. 524 thousand passengers
whereas the cargo volume decreased by 8%. The number of vessel calls declined by
2% to  1645 calls.  The  number  of  passengers  travelling between the Estonian
mainland  and the main  islands increased by  20% and the number  of vehicles by
13%. The  number of charter  days of the  icebreaker Botnica stayed  at the same
level as in the previous year, utility rate of the vessel was 100%.

According to Valdo Kalm, chairman of the management board of Tallinna Sadam, the
passenger  business is  recovering from  the low-point  caused by  the COVID-19
pandemic.  "We are  seeing an  increase in  passenger traffic, especially on the
Tallinn-Helsinki  route, but we are still vulnerable to the risks of a pandemic,
and  there is  a degree  of caution  among distant  countries towards  this area
regarding  the Russian-Ukrainian war. Nevertheless,  we are optimistic about the
summer  period and  we are  waiting for  visitors from neighboring countries and
cruise tourists who enjoy travelling," explained Kalm.

The  decrease in cargo volume  is primarily due to  the decrease in dry bulk and
liquid  bulk. In dry bulk, the handling  of fertilizers, as well as wood pellets
decreased,   but  at  the  same  time  the  export  of  grain  stored  increased
significantly due to the growth in market prices. The decline in liquid bulk was
mainly  caused by the  imposition of sanctions  on Belarussian oil products from
March.  The increase in container traffic is due to the low base of the previous
year,  when there  was a  shortage of  empty containers  in the world and global
supply chain failures. The growth trend of ro-ro goods continues.

"The  impact of the sanctions applied to Russia on the cargo volumes of Tallinna
Sadam  is expected in  the following periods,  and it will  primarily affect the
volumes  of oil and gas products and fertilizers, i.e. liquid bulk and dry bulk.
On  the other hand, due  to the relocation of  trade flows, new opportunities in
storage business may arise,"said Kalm.
