EEKAS Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of EEKAS
Kalasadam Port is the seaport of Kalasadam, in the city of Kalasadamin Estonia. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is EEKAS.
Port Overview
Kalasadam, UN/LOCODE EEKAS, is recorded in the supplied port data as a port location in Estonia and is not marked as a main port. Its name is associated with the Kalasadam waterfront area of Tallinn, where port activity should be assessed as location-specific rather than automatically treated as a full-scale container gateway. The supplied record identifies the city as Kalasadam, Estonia, with coordinates recorded as latitude 59.450000 and longitude -24.750000; these values are reproduced exactly from the source record and should be checked against the terminal or port authority before operational use. Our service team uses EEKAS primarily as a port-code reference and arranges the actual terminal, vessel, cargo, and inland-routing confirmation before booking. The record shows zero FCL, LCL, and automotive service entries, so shippers should not infer regular container, consolidation, or vehicle-handling capacity from the code alone.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
Available services must be matched to the named facility rather than inferred from the Kalasadam place name. Our service team checks the following items before issuing a firm operating plan:
- Container handling: No FCL service entry is shown in the supplied record. Container acceptance, reefer plugs, lifting equipment, empty returns, and VGM procedures require confirmation from the actual terminal or carrier.
- LCL and consolidation: No LCL entry is shown. Consolidated cargo may need to move through a nominated CFS or forwarder warehouse in the wider Tallinn area, subject to booking instructions.
- General and project cargo: Breakbulk, oversized, heavy-lift, and non-standard cargo require a site-specific review of berth access, lifting arrangements, road limits, and handling permits.
- Storage and customs examination: Do not assume on-port storage or inspection space. Our team confirms the designated warehouse, temporary storage status, examination location, and any appointment requirement.
- Road collection and delivery: Truck routing is coordinated after verifying access restrictions, loading facilities, driver instructions, and the consignee’s delivery slot.
Routes & Transit Times
- Regional routing: Cargo connected with EEKAS may require feeder, short-sea, transshipment, or road transfer arrangements through a confirmed Tallinn-area facility. A direct service, carrier, sailing frequency, or transit time must not be assumed from the UN/LOCODE.
- European distribution: Estonia’s road and short-sea connections can support movements toward the Baltic region, Nordic markets, Central Europe, and other European destinations, but the feasible route depends on the confirmed terminal and carrier network.
- Asia and long-haul imports: Long-distance cargo will commonly require an additional hub or transshipment leg. Our quotations identify the planned gateway and transshipment point once the carrier provides a bookable schedule.
- Time-risk factors: Port acceptance, transshipment connection, customs status, equipment availability, winter conditions, road appointments, and inspection selection can all change the final delivery date.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary service area: The practical hinterland should be defined by the confirmed receiving or delivery facility in the Tallinn metropolitan area, followed by road distribution within Estonia and the wider Baltic region.
- Likely cargo planning categories: General commercial cargo, palletized freight, machinery, construction materials, retail goods, and project shipments may be considered, but acceptance depends on the named facility and handling capability.
- Containerized cargo: Because the supplied record shows no FCL or LCL service entries, container cargo should be quoted through a verified container terminal or CFS rather than presumed to be handled directly at EEKAS.
- Automotive cargo: The source record shows no automotive service entry. Vehicle or rolling cargo requires prior confirmation of handling, storage, documentation, and access arrangements.
- Inland transport: Our team matches truck type, loading method, axle-weight considerations, and delivery appointment requirements to the actual cargo and destination.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: Carrier, terminal, and customs cut-offs are separate milestones. Obtain written confirmation of cargo, documentation, VGM, and dangerous-goods deadlines; do not use a generic Tallinn cut-off for EEKAS.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, marine-pollutant status, package details, and emergency contact information before acceptance. Facility approval is required for any DG move.
- Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport instructions, customs data, origin information where applicable, and accurate consignee details must match the booking and cargo marks.
- Customs and inspection: Customs declarations, transit procedures, temporary storage, and physical examinations follow the applicable Estonian and EU requirements. Cargo may not be released until the responsible authority and facility complete their procedures.
- Inland delivery: Confirm truck access, delivery appointment, unloading equipment, address coordinates, contact person, and any urban access limitations before dispatch.
Shipping Tips
- Send the exact UN/LOCODE, cargo description, package count, dimensions, gross weight, HS information, Incoterm, and intended sailing window to our service team before requesting a firm quote.
- For FCL, LCL, reefer, DG, oversized, or vehicle shipments, ask us to identify the actual terminal or CFS in the booking confirmation and verify the empty-container return or warehouse receiving instructions.
- Prepare export and customs documents before the terminal cut-off, and keep shipper, consignee, notify-party, cargo marks, and piece details consistent across every document.
- Use suitable seaworthy packaging, moisture protection, blocking and bracing for machinery or heavy cargo, and visible handling marks. Provide photographs when cargo is unusual or damage-sensitive.
- If EEKAS cannot accept the requested equipment or cargo type, our team can evaluate a confirmed alternative gateway or an inland transfer, subject to carrier space, customs status, and additional handling requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is EEKAS a regular container port for FCL shipments?
The supplied record shows zero FCL service entries and does not mark EEKAS as a main port. Our service team therefore confirms the actual container terminal and carrier acceptance before quoting or booking; a nearby Tallinn-area gateway may be required.
Can I book LCL cargo directly to Kalasadam?
Do not assume direct LCL receiving. The record shows zero LCL entries. We first identify the nominated CFS, consolidation warehouse, customs arrangement, and final delivery point associated with the booking.
Are the coordinates suitable for truck navigation?
The supplied record gives latitude 59.450000 and longitude -24.750000. Because operational addresses and mapping conventions must be validated independently, use the confirmed terminal address and driver instructions rather than relying only on the database coordinates.
Can dangerous goods or oversized cargo be handled?
Possibly, but only after facility approval. Our team checks the cargo classification, dimensions, weight, lifting method, road route, permits, and applicable terminal restrictions before accepting the shipment.
What should be entered on shipping documents?
Use EEKAS only when the carrier or responsible facility confirms it as the correct port or location code. Keep the port code, terminal name, consignee, customs office, and delivery address consistent across the booking and clearance documents.
