Country: Latvia
Signing Date: April 9, 2019 with Qingdao Port of Shandong Port Group

The Freeport of Riga is a significant part of global and regional cargo supply chains and passenger traffic networks in the Baltic Sea area, providing safe and reliable services. An integral part of the city, the port recognizes its social and environmental responsibilities and makes a strong contribution to the growth of Latvia's economy. The port is driven by high performance standards and continuously strives to improve both the quality and breadth of services to clients.

The location fills all natural preconditions required for a port – a place where ships can find shelter from winds, waves and spring floods, as well as unload goods and disembark passengers. Liiv village on the right bank of the Daugava, at the mouth of the Riga or Ridzene River, became a convenient location for trade between seamen from Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries and regions arriving at Riga by sea and Russian merchants who used to come by Daugava River.
