Finnish ports play an important role in Finnish business. Almost 90% of Finland’s foreign trade passes through our ports. In this sense, Finland could be compared to an island, as the ports located on its approximately 1000 kilometres of coast function as links in the commercial transport of goods and passengers to and from foreign countries. In addition, the country has an abundance of lakes, and the inland ports can be accessed by foreign shipping through the Saimaa channel. Most Finnish ports are kept open to serve shipping all year long in spite of the winter and iceconditions.
