Purpose: After the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic and Russo-Ukrainian war, the situation in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) changed, especially regarding maritime container terminals. The aim of the article is to identify major Baltic container terminals and to perform a multicriteria analysis of their competitiveness. The analysis will be carried out before (2019) and after (2022) the turmoil on the market in question. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE II) with subjective criteria weights, as well as the entropy method with objective criteria weights. Findings: The obtained results show that two Polish maritime container terminals, DCT Gdańsk and GCT Gdynia, as well as Finnish Vuossari can be assessed as the most competitive both in 2019 and 2022. At the same time, in the analyzed years, the lowest positions in the rankings were maintained by Swedish GCT Gavle and Vasthamnen, Finnish Euroports Finland as well as Latvian BCT Riga. Research limitations/implications: Limited data availability influenced the choice of criteria used in the study. Moreover, website data sources used in the study may result in the inaccuracy of our calculations. Finally, the subjectivity involved in the selection of chosen criteria and some of their weights could lead to different competitiveness assessment results of maritime container terminals in the BSR. Practical implications: Our findings should be of interest to terminal operators and managers planning their strategy for next years, especially if they want to maintain their competitive advantage in the region after the lifting of sanctions imposed on Russian ports. Originality/value: This is the first paper to compare the multicriteria rankings of competitiveness before and after the turmoil on the BSR container market, especially as industry reports and research on the BSR usually consider the annual results achieved by individual ports, ignoring the efficiency of the terminals that comprise them.
