From 2005 to 2008, a ferry route operated between Mõntu harbour and the Latvian port of Ventspils.^[2] There were plans to re-launch the route with financial support from Saaremaa Municipality and the Freeport of Ventspils.^[3] Preparations for the launch began in 2017, but no potential operator with a suitable vessel was found to operate the service.^[4][5]

The largest vessel ever to visit Mõntu harbour was the 130-metre-long Russich-5, which delivered 5,100 tonnes of asphalt chips from Rotterdam in 2009.^[6]

M/S Scania operated between Mõntu harbour and Ventspils from 2005 to 2008
