On November 4, 2025, Ports of Stockholm and Port of Tallinn signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Tallinn to establish Swed-Est Green Collaboration – an initiative to accelerate the transition to fossil-free and sustainable maritime and port operations between Sweden and Estonia. Particular focus is on the Tallinn–Stockholm and Paldiski–Kapellskär routes.
In April 2026, a joint kickoff was held in Stockholm. Representatives from Port of Tallinn participated on site to start the work in the project's working groups through exchange of experiences, discussion and study visits to the operations.
The cooperation includes:
expansion of onshore power supply for ropax vessels by 2030 and introduction of renewable energy solutions in the ports
development of waste management and circular flows
transition to energy-efficient and emission-free transport and work machines
development and renovation of terminals in line with high environmental requirements
In summary, it can be stated that both ports have similar challenges and conditions in many ways. By setting common goals, sharing experiences and cooperating where possible, the conditions for driving the transition towards more sustainable shipping in the Baltic Sea region are strengthened.
