2006 was a crucial year of development for Riga Passenger Port, including establishment of close cooperation between the Port and one of the Baltic region's most important shipping company "Tallink" and launch of regular ferry between Riga un Stockholm. Since then the number of passengers and companies served at Riga Passenger Port, has increased substantially.
