Court: Port of Tallinn did not break law in awarding contract to Rail Garant
Tallinn administrative court did not uphold the claims made by Estonian logistics companies and container terminal operators Transiidikeskus and Muuga CT, controlled by Anatoli Kanajev, against Port of Tallinn, Balticbusinessnews reports.

The companies had disputed the tender held by Port of Tallinn and its decision to award a container terminal contract to Rail Garant.

Ain Kaljurand, CEO of Port of Tallinn, said that the decision shows the port broke no laws in holding the tender and awarding the contract and that the best bidder won.

Rail Garant is a Russian transport giant that won the contract to operate a new container terminal in Muuga, while Transiidikeskus already operates Muuga CT container terminal in the area.

Representatives of the supervisory council of Port of Tallinn have said that Muuga CT was not capable of securing considerably larger cargo flows and therefore the port decided to sign a contract for the new container terminal with Rail Garant.

Transiidikeskus has publicly accused the council of having forged the winning bid and claims that the decision is damaging Estonia’s national interests.

“We made a better bid, but the contract went to another company,” said a representative of Transiidikeskus, adding that the state is going to lose tens of millions of euros.
