In 1950-1960s "Lengiprotrans" developed the project of the railway lines of the Liepaja port. During the Soviet period, the ports of the Baltic Sea were important transit centers, in connection with which it was necessary to develop their transport infrastructure. The port in Liepaja was also significant as a naval base of the Baltic Fleet.
