Klaipedos Smelte's handling capacity has now been upped to 800,000 containers, or around 1.1 million TEU.

Klaipedos Smelte also says the future reconstruction of the port's entry gate is an important signal for container shipping companies about Klaipeda's readiness to service big 400-meter-long container ships.
