About This Seaport
Iron pellets, ores and concentrates, fertilisers, coal and oil products set the rhythm at Kokkola (FI KOK), Finland's largest dry-bulk port, which handled 3.98 million tonnes in 2024, up 6% year on year, including about 1.06 million tonnes of ores and concentrates. Work is split across three sub-ports: the Deep Port, dredged for 14-metre drafts, carries the heavy raw-material trade for the region's chemical and metallurgical industry; the General Port handles sawn timber, zinc and palletised goods; and Silverstone Port has taken over all container handling. One of Finland's largest container gantry cranes entered service at Silverstone in early 2025, and the site is set to grow from 15 to 42 hectares. Heavy-lift cranes up to 300 tonnes and a rail wagon tippler terminal support project cargo and rail-borne bulk. Dedicated sidings and road links tie the quays to inland industry; Kokkola was historically Finland's main transit port for Russian cargo — zinc concentrate, oil, iron pellets and limestone — a flow much changed since sanctions from 2022. Since 2024 the port has been building a new role as a logistics hub for green industries, with wind turbine components, solar panels and battery modules flowing through Silverstone Port alongside the traditional bulk trades. Customs clearance follows the EU Union Customs Code, administered by Finnish Customs (Tulli). Shippers with bulk, minerals or project cargo are well served here, while containerised consignments are better routed via HaminaKotka (Mussalo) or Helsinki-Vuosaari.
