A good beginning for the year 2020! Mantsinen 120R in Kunda Harbor.
The history of the Port of Kunda dates back to 1805 when the Russian tsar Alexander I granted a permit by his ukase to build the Port of Kunda. A jetty was built at the mouth of the river, and the Port of Kunda commenced its operation.
In October 2018, Kunda Sadam AS, which belongs to the Baltic Maritime Logistics Group, acquired the Port of Kunda as a separate economic entity. For the first time in its operating history, a company controlled by Estonians became the owner of the Port of Kunda.
Since February 2019 Kunda Sadam AS loads itself the cargo at the port and timber terminals and also operates the closed cargo warehouses.
The Port of Kunda is an active regional commercial port in the Gulf of Finland, on the southern coast of the Bay of Kunda between Cape Toolse and Cape Ulluneem.
Consignors and shipowners appreciate the port due to its customer friendly attitude, rapid loading and good service. The most important export products include pulpwood, woodchips, sawdust granules, peat, agricultural goods, the most important import goods include crushed stones and sawn logs. The port also handles the raw materials imported by the factories located in Kunda and around it and the export production thereof.
Mantsinen 120R is the biggest hydraulic crane currently operating in Estonia. Its speed, performance and consumption figures make it quite unique – there are only three of its kind currently in Estonia. It is the first Mantsinen crane in the Port of Kunda.
