About This Seaport
For decades Veitsiluoto near Kemi ranked among Finland's major paper sites, but its industrial base has now been lost in two steps. Stora Enso permanently closed paper production here in 2021, ending an annual output of around 790,000 tonnes on the Gulf of Bothnia. In August 2026 the company announced that the remaining sawmill would also close permanently: production is not scheduled to restart after an ongoing curtailment in October 2026, with pine sawing being centralised at its Oulu and Kalajoki mills. The port loses its last industrial anchor. Long managed by Kemi Shipping, the harbour's operations are being folded into the neighbouring Port of Kemi. Road and rail link the site to the northern Finnish hinterland. For container and liner services, the deep-water Ajos harbour at Kemi remains the natural alternative, alongside Oulu.
