Due to restrictions on the movement of private individuals crossing the land border of the Russian Federation, as well as the land borders of the foreign states adjacent to the Kaliningrad Region of the Russian Federation, implemented to halt the spread of the COVID-19 infection, FSUE “Rosmorport” North-Western Basin Branch reminds all the interested parties about the opportunity to move between the territory of the Kaliningrad Region and the main territory of the Russian Federation using the sea ferry line.

At present, two ferries are working on the ferry line connecting the seaport of Kaliningrad (Kaliningrad region) and the seaport of Ust Luga (Leningrad region).

Sea ferries operated by the “Black Sea Ferries & Investments” LLC and “Oboronlogistics” LLC, can transport both cargoes and passengers. All the interested individuals and organizations can contact the aforementioned operators to solve the issues of transporting cargoes and passengers.
