Increase of Ro-ro units (change + 23.6 percent) was generated by growth of handling of trailers, highway freighters and trucks in the port of Klaipeda.
The container handling (TEU), which increased in August and September, made it possible to surpass the total handling amount for the nine months by 4.9 percent in relation to the last year.
