Smooth, Secure and reliable tranSportS

Smooth, secure and reliable transportsthe port of raahe is one of Finland’s busiest ports. this is thanks to its scheduled routes to other european countries, including the uK, those on the mediterranean Sea and in the baltic region, its excellent land connections as well as certified and customer-oriented service.

the port of raahe is an excellent logistical hub for importers and exporters, offering services such as its container stuffing service centre, storage and inexpensive district heating.

the highly specialized, global steel company SSab operates a large steel plant in raahe, and its import and export requirements guarantee a steady stream of materials passing through the port all year round. combined shipping with steel products allows for timber, for example, to be transported mostly below deck. Weekly container feeder traffic facilitates regular container transport around europe and further afield.

raahe is close to highway 8 on the Finnish mainland, and can be reached by rail along an electrified track. rail connections to russia run smoothly.
