The Vuosaari cargo harbour mainly serves unitised cargo traffic: container and RoRo traffic as well as project loads. The port company creates an effective framework for port operations, building an excellent package together with shipping companies, port operators, transport operators and other logistics partners.

Goods handling services are provided by companies operating in the area.

Vuosaari has excellent transport connections both by sea and on land via the Ring III road to the main road network. Good opportunities have also been created for large-scale rail transport: the port railway joins the main railway line in Kerava and runs directly to Vuosaari Harbour’s quays and terminals.

Address: Gatehouse, Komentosilta 1
