In mid-February, Riga Ropax Terminal, in cooperation with the Freeport of Riga Authority as project lead partner, the Port of Stockholm and the Port of Klaipeda, submitted a proposal to the Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme with the aim to receive funding for a study on reducing the ecological footprint of passenger and Ro-Ro terminals in the city centre. The developers of the Riga Ropax Terminal project and their partners plan to submit a full application to the programme in mid-March.

On February 8th, the Riga City Council passed a decision to submit the improved version of the local plan for the southern part of Eksportosta for public consultation.
