In January 2024, the National Armed Forces awarded the Liepāja SEZ “TERRABALT” SIA company, evaluating the support and contribution to the joint exercise “Namejs 2022”.

“Namejs” is the largest and most complicated military exercise in Latvia – both from the point of view of the variety and intensity of operations, and the resources involved. The military training cycle combines autumn field tactical exercises of armed forces units, exercises of the Naval Forces, Training Command exercises, Headquarters Battalion and Military Police exercises in a single scenario. Soldiers, national guardsmen and reserve soldiers of Latvia and the allied forces, as well as employees of the MoI and the personnel of the structures of the Ministry of the Interior – policemen and border guards – take part in them.

During the training, the readiness of the units to deploy to fulfill national defense tasks independently and within the framework of the collective defense system is tested and improved. The active phase of the military training cycle takes place not only at the Ādaži training ground and regional training grounds, but throughout Latvia. The tasks of the military training cycle are carried out on pre-agreed state and local governments, as well as legal and private land properties. In 2022, one of the training cycles also took place in the territory of Liepāja SEZ “TERRABALT” SIA.

We are grateful for the recognition we received, and we are also open to further cooperation! (In the photo from the right, LSEZ “Terrabalt” sia board member Āris Ozoliņš and Naval Minesweeper Squadron Headquarters and Supply Ship A-53 VIRSAITIS Ship Commander Mareks Kibeļskis)

During the training, the National Guard will train to perform the tasks specified in the training scenario, during the performance of which training ammunition and combat imitation means may be used, which create noise but do not endanger human health and life. However, when unknown objects are found in the study places, it is forbidden to touch or move them.

In cooperation with Stena Line, a new transport connection on a multimodal route (rail + sea) has been launched, which is able to ensure competitive delivery times for the flow of goods from Russia to the European Union compared to land transport and makes a significant contribution to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transport model.

From August 13, the ferry operator Stena Line has started transportation on the route Liepaja (Latvia) – Karlskrona (Sweden) – Traveminde (Germany). Initially, the call at the port of Karlskrona will be only on Thursday evening – in one direction from Liepaja to Traveminde, however, it is expected that the new service will provide cargo carriers with wider trade and transport opportunities between the Baltic States and southern Scandinavia.

For the purpose of restriction of the spread of COVID-19 virus, truck drivers in Latvia are asked to stop only at places related to transportation and basic needs (petrol station, toilet, shop, etc.), to avoid contact with people during loading and unloading, and keep a distance of 2 meters from other persons.
