Mindaugas Čiakas

Mindaugas Čiakas is the director of 'Smiltynės perkėla,' the ferry service that operates between the mainland and the Curonian Spit in Lithuania. He has recently raised concerns about the increasing number of trucks utilizing the ferry without charge, as many companies have registered their addresses in the region to benefit from this privilege. His observations highlight the growing population and construction activities in Neringa, which have led to a significant rise in ferry traffic, posing potential challenges for local infrastructure.
