OREANDA-NEWS. January 27, 2012. Automobile manufacturer Mitsubishi is reportedly choosing between a harbor in Tallinn and one in Riga to establish a new transit route for transporting its knock-down kits to an assembly plant in Russia.

The potential partner in Tallinn would be the Muuga Container Terminal. Mitsubishi will make a decision in early February by the latest, reported Eesti Paevaleht.

Planning to triple production in Russia's Kaluga Oblast, Mitsubishi freight would bring Muuga an extra 30,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) per year. That is about two month's worth of Muuga's current shipping volume.
