Facing up to Finnish challenges

Finnlines is set to launch a new short sea freight service this month (Sept ’24) from Finland to Peel Ports London Medway and other destinations around Europe

The Ports of Tallinn and Helsinki have received EU support for the TWIN-PORT VI project, continuing their collaboration from five previous TWIN-PORT initiatives.

Finnlines’ RoPax vessels put into operation onshore power at Vuosaari Harbour, at the Port of Helsinki.

Under the MoU, parties will collaborate to enhance infrastructure for the provision and bunkering of alternative fuels, such as green methanol.

Port activities halted entirely on 11th March, encompassing ship loading and unloading as well as container pickup and delivery operations.

Cargo bound for Finland will still be loaded as scheduled, with transhipment in Tallinn, albeit with an additional freight adjustment of EUR 350 per container.
