Ust Luga

Freight ferries from Russia to Germany

Since construction began in 1997, costing 2.1 billion euros to date; Ust Luga has been a vital part of the coal and fertilizer industry in Europe.

With the population of the town expected to reach nearly 35,000 by 2025, the thriving port is attributable to Ust Luga being the first new town built in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
