The Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania has moved its largest expansion project into the construction phase by starting site preparation in the southern port area. Around €600 million from the 2026–2029 investment programme is allocated to building southern breakwaters and new operational areas, with total development value expected to exceed €1 billion together with private investors.
The Port of Klaipėda has begun site preparation work in its southern sector, marking the transition of the port’s largest-ever expansion project into the construction phase. The development includes building new southern breakwaters, deepening water areas and creating additional land for port operations and cargo handling, with core construction activities scheduled to start in autumn 2026. According to the port authority, nearly €600 million — the largest single share of Klaipėda’s 2026–2029 investment programme — has been earmarked for this southern expansion, and when combined with expected contributions from future investors, the overall project value is forecast to exceed €1 billion. The plan is presented as one of Lithuania’s most significant current infrastructure investments.
