Further to our members alert of 12 December the Club’s correspondents Pandi Balt has provided the following update:

Please see below an update regarding the situation in the Freeport of Ventspils.

"Yesterday (18.12.2019) the amendments to the Law on Ports, which contemplate taking over of management in the Freeport of Ventspils by the State JSC Ventas osta, were approved by the Saeima (local legislative body). The amendments will come into effect after an official proclamation by the Latvian President.
