Mõntu is a village in Saaremaa Parish, Saare County in western Estonia. It is located on the southeast coast of Sõrve Peninsula in the southern part of the island of Saaremaa. [1]
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 as of 2020 no potential operator with a suitable vessel had shown interest in operating the service. [4] [5]
