Battle for China's goods begun

How do you value Estonian role as a logistics country in the European Union?

Estonia has a great potential in Europe.

The main value is geographical position.

We are competitors and partners in the same time. It's wise to develop partnership, because each country can't handle the flow of goods separately. Right now the amounts are small, but future will bring rapid increase. We work towards it

All three countries have to be ready for it.

But like usually in business, its very unlike that we will have consensus in these questions like we had at the time we re-established our independence.

How do you see the ideal partnership between Hong Kong and Estonia?

There are a lot of opportunities. We have also contcts with Ningbo and Dalian ports.

Finding a concrete solution is a matter of negotiations. If we are able to realize the opportunities, we will be very satisfied.

The main themes are definitely container transportation and goods distribution.

Goods from Western China are expedient to transport via Kazakhstan.

Goods from Northern part of China and Japan will likely reach to Estonia via Transsiberian railway.

The cheapest but the lowest (takes approximately six weeks) variant is to transport goods from China by the sea.
