Dist:0.2km<br/>A liner service operates between Riga and Liepaja in Latvia and Parnu in Estonia. There are also regular shipments from Klaipeda and the south of Sweden. Baltic Wharf is the only commercial port on the estuary, standing on the south bank of the River Crouch at Wallasea Island. Baltic Wharf has been in existence since the late 1920s and provides wharfage facilities and storage. Approximately 60 vessels per annum deliver to Baltic Wharf, bringing mainly timber and steel. The Crouch Harbour Authority is responsible for ensuring that navigation channels to Baltic Wharf, (and generally on the estuary), are kept open.
