At present, two ferries are working on the ferry line connecting the seaport of Kaliningrad (Kaliningrad region) and the seaport of Ust Luga (Leningrad region).

Sea ferries operated by the “Black Sea Ferries & Investments” LLC and “Oboronlogistics” LLC, can transport both cargoes and passengers. All the interested individuals and organizations can contact the aforementioned operators to solve the issues of transporting cargoes and passengers.
