Strek Coal Terminal is located within the Riga Free Port in Latvia.
Location
The port located on Krievu Island, Latvia.
Background
Strek LLC was established in 1991 and had founders from three countries - Latvia, Russia, and France. In 1992, the company started to operate the first stage of its coal terminal at Riga Free Port. In 2011, Strek operated the second largest coal terminal at the Free Port of Riga and handled some 4.5mt of coal, which made up more than 95% of its total turnover. The terminal was located in the direct vicinity of the city center.[1]
Strek has also relocated its commercial activity from Eksportosta to Krievu Island in 2019.[2] According to the company's website, its dry bulk capacity is 5 million tonnes with potential to increase it to 8 million tonnes per annum.[3] It appears that Strek terminal used to be a specialized coal handling terminal, but after modernization the terminal is capable of receiving, transshipment and storage of pig iron, coke, timber and other cargoes.[3][4]
