Кундзиньсала становится крупнейшей промышленной зоной Рижского порта и Латвии. В ближайшие годы здесь откроется не менее семи новых предприятий – терминалов, логистических центров, заводов по производству альтернативного топлива и компонентов для интеллектуальной промышленности. Это позволит создать около 800 рабочих мест и привлечь более 500 миллионов евро инвестиций. Ключевым проектом станет завод Amber Flow Fuels по производству возобновляемого топлива (HVO и SAF), который обеспечит потребности всего балтийского рынка в SAF и будет экспортировать 70% продукции, укрепляя позиции Латвии на мировом рынке.
Kundziņsala will also become a centre for the production of wind energy technologies. With the support of the state and the EU, a modern production of components for offshore and onshore wind turbines will be established here by 2029, which will provide 650 new jobs and up to 160 million euros in export revenue per year. The region is actively developing as a strategic object of military mobility and cooperation with NATO – berths, roads and railways are being modernized, a new icebreaker with hybrid propulsion has been purchased, the port’s capabilities for servicing military and cargo operations are being expanded.
An important element of the development will be the new overpass from Sarkandaugava, which will connect Kundzinsala with the transport network of Riga and relieve the city center of cargo traffic. One of the most modern port checkpoints in Europe with a digital logistics system and automatic access control is under construction. Today, Kundzinsala already handles 72% of all container cargo in Latvia, and the Port of Riga continues to develop its terminal infrastructure, creating conditions for export growth, sustainable energy and military mobility of the country.
