Paldiski South Harbour is a cargo harbour located in Paldiski, Estonia, 45 km west of the capital city Tallinn.[1]

The harbour is owned by Port of Tallinn. Paldiski South Harbour is the main Ro-Ro harbour for Estonia. The main cargo groups handled in the harbour are: Ro-Ro, general cargo/break bulk cargo, solid bulk goods and liquid bulk. The strategic focus has been shifted to the handling of rolling stock goods and to the processing of Estonian import-export goods as well as handling various goods passing through Estonia as transit. A rising trend is the carriage and pre-sales service of the new passenger cars.

The Port also includes an industrial park of 34 hectares.[2]
