Kateryna Grushevska, Irina Moskvichenko

Summary
The paper describes the Baltic ports in the process of adoption to a changing environment. The EU is Russia’s most important trading partner by far, accounting for 50% of its overall trade in 2010. This relation will continue to strengthen due to Russia’s recent accession to the WTO (since December 2011). This paper aims to analyse the present economic situation in the ports on the East coast of the Baltic Sea with a qualitative analysis of their hinterlands. Since the ports on the East coast of Baltic basin are in a very competitive environment, it is interesting to investigate how they succeed in the attraction of Russian and Eastern European cargo.
