  • Port of Naantali Handbook
    PORT OF NAANTALI PORT AND TERMINAL HANDBOOK N 60◦ 27´N E 22◦ 03´E 2 SERVING TRADE AND INDUSTRY The Port of Naantali serves the trade in a wide range of the hin- terland as well as the industry close to the port. Industrial en- terprises and factories (e.g. oil refinery, lubricant factory, coal power plant, betaine factory, grain silos etc.) operating in the immediate vicinity of the harbour generate large material flows. Easy ice condition in wintertime and one of the deepest fairways and quays in Finland, up to 15,3 m, enable Aframax tankers and Panamax size bulk carriers loading and/or discharging regularly at the port. Moreover, the short sea voyage and frequent ferry connection to Sweden make Naantali the most important cargo hub between Finland and Scandinavia. Partly, for these reasons, Naantali is today 4th largest universal cargo port in Finland. The total annual traffic to and from the port ( transported via the port`s quays and/or water areas) is ca. 6,8 million tons, of which 80 % is foreign traffic. The main volumes come from liquid and dry bulk materials and ferry goods. The Port of Naantali is one of the busiest cargo ports in Finland with ca. 2000 annual number of vessel calls. VALUE ADDED SERVICES Naantali is a long time known as a significant centre for dry bulk goods operations, thanks to excellent storage facilities and all- round value-added services. Naantali is one of the largest ports e.g. for coal, grain and cement cargo handling in Finland. The port handles and stores also fertilizers, feed stuff and other agri- bulk materials as well as different type of recycling materials.

  • FINLAND and the ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday
    FINLAND AND THE ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday 21 July Today we crossed from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland by ferry. The first thing to do was a major and quite expensive stock-up shop at the supermarket over the road, in anticipation of more expensive times to come in Scandinavia. Then along to check in early with the Finnish Eckero Line, and after a wait of an hour or so we were among the last to be loaded, along with many other motorhomes and heavy trucks. Big ship, with many similarities to those used for Channel crossings. The only problem was to get away from the live music in the public areas, much enjoyed by most passengers. Also popular was lying out in the sun on and around the small covered pool in what was a beautiful blue day – windy, though. We finally found a relatively quiet spot to read and use the internet before going on deck again to watch the ship’s spectacular entry to and through the Helsinki archipelago. You can never watch the final docking because of the need to get down to the cars and vans, so the first we saw of Finland was through the open rear of the vessel. We had the Tomtom all set to guide us to the camp site, but even so it is a stressful business being dumped in a busy part of a busy city like Helsinki without much idea of where you are or how you get to where you want to go. The camp site, in the suburb of Rastila, is about 10 km north-east of the city.

  • A Brief History of Six Ancient Finnish Castles
    1 (2) 8.1.2014 A brief history of six ancient Finnish castles The Ancient Castles stamp booklet presents the following six ancient Finnish castles, each of which has its own interesting history. Suomenlinna Construction of Viapori Castle was started in 1748 by A. Ehrensvärd. The fortress surrendered to the Russians in 1808, and when Finland became independent, it was named Suomenlinna. In the early years of independence, it served as prison camp and closed military zone.
