KEY FACTS
ABOUT
KLAIPĖDA
Klaipeda - Lithuania's third largest city, located on
the Curonian Lagoon at the western coast of
Lithuania. Historically Klaipeda has been one of the
fastest growing municipalities in Lithuania and
nowadays Klaipeda is an industrial, business,
educational, scientific, cultural, health and
recreational administrative center with very rich
traditions.
Klaipeda stands out from other cities in Lithuania as
the only Lithuanian seaport. Klaipeda State Seaport
is the northernmost ice–free port on the Eastern
coast of the Baltic Sea. A multipurpose, universal,
deep-water port, with the annual port cargo
handling capacity up to 40 million tones operates
24 hours per day, 7 days per week, all year round.
Klaipeda’s economy develops hand in hand
not only with Klaipeda State Seaport, but
also with Klaipeda Free Economic Zone,
which provides clients with a unique
opportunity for business development by
offering industrial sites with support
services and tax incentives. The Klaipeda
Free Economic Zone (412 ha) occupies a
strategic location - just 3 km away from
the Port of Klaipeda and with direct
connections to the road and rail system.
