FI HEL Port (Helsinki) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

444,000 TEU and roughly 190,000 ro-ro units passed through Helsinki in 2024, almost all of it via the Vuosaari district that concentrates the city's cargo handling. Unitised traffic totalled 12.2 million tonnes — 6.7 million exported, 5.5 million imported — making this Finland's principal foreign-trade port for containerised and rolling cargo. The Helsinki–Tallinn link, among the busiest sea lanes in the Baltic, carried 672,000 heavy vehicles and 8.8 million tonnes. Vuosaari ties into the North Sea–Baltic Corridor through dedicated ring-road and rail connections, supporting consumer goods, project loads and temperature-controlled cargo. Bulk and transit volumes, by contrast, tend to route through other Finnish ports. The port group moved about 14.0 million tonnes of cargo in total in 2024, while strikes temporarily dampened volumes in early 2025. Customs clears within the EU framework via Finnish authorities. Shippers handling dry bulk or transit cargo consider HaminaKotka, vehicle traffic Hanko, and the Estonian side Tallinn as alternatives.
