Info

THE CHIEF OF POLICE From the local chief of police we heard a confirmation to Jaan Mölder’s claim that Paldiski is a safe city and that main problem is the usual bunch of vodka-loving people who the officer has to bring to sleep to the station occasionally. Other than that he confirmed it’s calm and though he’s not living in Paldiski himself, he wouldn’t mind moving there. WHICH is in itself an example of the fact that Paldiski simply lacks the services and attractiveness to hold its locals in there. PORT AUTHORITIES The people working in the South Port shed a lot of light in how much exactly the port does. This is one of the most important activities in the town, but the work is controlled from Tallinn, as the port is owned by the Port of Tallinn. Mainly it deals with cargo shipping and though there used to be passenger ships to Sweden for example (Paldiski-Kapellskär), then these are closed by now. The only passengers that use it are mostly the drivers of cargo vehicles and besides them the cargo ships can take about 6-8 passengers. However, as cargo and transportation is important in Paldiski, then an idea of opening a railway connection with China (through Russia) is thought about and planned, which would open another lucrative transportation channel to Paldiski. It should be mentioned though, especially in today’s political climate, that it depends quite much on Russia’s behaviour and the interest in their side, for most of the ties that Paldiski has in that matter are with our huge Eastern neighbour. 18
