Moreover, Klaipėda port needs of qualified workers is not carried out and has not been determined; also, the connection between the port of Klaipėda growth trends and growing labour migrants was not preciously evaluated. Also, it is noted that, according to the State Progress Strategy “Lithuania 2030” and the Klaipėda port activity plan for 2015 to 2018 (2015) the Klaipėda port by 2030 tended to grow further and is projected to be served not less than 15 percent of the Baltic Sea region cargo, which may require increase of skilled workers from abroad. The goal of the article – to perform labour migrants working in Klaipėda port and Klaipėda seaport economic development analysis. Methods: analysis of the Lithuanian legal; analysis of statistical data; analysis of Klaipėda port activity reports; other organizations, research and activity reports, and other material analysis; correlation analysis of statistical data.Accomplished correlation analysis established a strong positive relationship between the total cargo, Klaipėda Port Authority’s net profit, and issued work permits for the foreigners to work in Lithuania. Also, a positive relationship between the numbers of containers handled at the port of Klaipėda and the number of long-haul drivers was found. However, the correlation of investment and specialists from foreign growth was not found. Given the correlation between the variables obtained should be checked with statistical significance; also it is recommendable to check the correlational relation over a greater period of time.
