Energy projects and alternative fuel terminals in ports – we introduce various additional sustainable solutions, e.g. onshore electricity, marine heating, renewable energy production. To this end, we cooperate with other major Baltic Sea ports, energy technology and production companies

Scientific cooperation

  • In cooperation with Estonian Academy of Arts and the City of Tallinn we carried out a joint research project “Tallinn Old Town: Sustainable Management and Presentation” the purpose of which was to obtain academic input on how to manage and present Tallinn Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in a dignified and sustainable manner and how to improve tourist transport connections between the harbour and the Old Town.
  • In partnership with the Estonian Maritime Academy we contribute to the education of seafarers and the availability of future talent as well as projects addressing vessels’ cyber security needs and digitalisation of the logistics chain.
  • We also cooperate with other research institutions in Estonia and elsewhere both in the development of digital solutions and in the analysis of innovative construction technical solutions. We introduce the Port of Tallinn to students and offer internship opportunities.

Attractive employer and our people

The sustainable development of Port of Tallinn is ensured by a diverse and experienced workforce. The current focus areas of our human resource strategy are team spirit and cooperation, employee development and health, smart work processes and effective work arrangement, and innovation. The goal of our human resource strategy is to have highly engaged people in the right roles.

When recruiting or promoting employees, we consider their values, experience and competence and avoid discrimination on the basis of gender, age, ethnicity or other factors.

We consider it important that both employees, customers and guests of the port behave in an environmentally aware and responsible manner, and we also contribute to promoting these principles on a daily basis.

We support employees’ professional development and physical and mental health.
