Ferry : There are 10 ports in Latvia. The three main ones are Ventspils, Riga and Liepaja - all of them mostly working with transit cargoes. Around 90% of transit is going through these ports, mainly from the CIS countries to the west. Latvia is the main transit trade route through the Baltic Sea region. Ports of Ventspils, Riga and Liepaja are ice-free all year round. There are seven small ports in Latvia - operating basically as fishing and yacht ports, handling also wood products.
