Ports of Finland and Estonia play important role in the Russian transit traffic; Finnish harbours are specialized in consumer goods imports (containers), while Estonia serves as a raw material export harbour (oil). Although Russia has enlarged its capacity in both of these markets (harbours, warehousing and transportation), Finland and Estonia still have important role in Russian material flows. This activity has resulted in employment opportunities and in profitable business.

This latter task is intended to be completed through computer simulation, where is being compared what kind of infrastructural needs different growth scenarious require.
