The study is related to the BSR Interreg III B NP project Baltic Gateway PLUS. The study includes the following researches: (1) to specify freight flows to Region Berlin via Klaipeda Seaport; (2) to specify freight flows to Region Berlin via Kalvariju cross border check point.

The study concluded that freight flow via Klaipeda port and Kalvariju check point (incl. Lazdiju) to the so-called Region Berlin defined as the destination point in which freight was unloaded was 199,59 thousand tons in 2005 and 229,96 thousand tons in 2006. Freight flow via Klaipeda port and Kalvariju check point (incl. Lazdiju) from the so-called Region Berlin defined as origin point in which freight was loaded was 48,88 thousand tons in 2005 and 78,45 thousand tons in 2006. About 10 % of freight flow in axis Kalvariju-Berlin is loaded/unloaded in the so-called Region Berlin. About 90 % of flow in the mentioned axe is a cross trade flow of Region Berlin.
