Through its established and vast network of sea shipping services, plus efficient road & rail hinterland connectivity (along the Finnish coast and all the way up to Russia), the Port of Naantali serves a number of trade lanes, be they for taking care of liquid and dry bulk or general cargo goods.

There are heavy-duty industries located just next to the port - such as an oil refinery, a lubricant factory, a power plant, a betaine producer, a ship repair yard, and grain silos - that generate large volumes for it to handle.

Easy wintertime ice conditions and one of the deepest fairways and quays in Finland (up to 15.3 m) make it possible to regularly handle Aframax tankers and Panamax bulkers.

Additionally, Naantali is located a stone's throw from Sweden, which, coupled with the frequent ferry connections, has made the port the most important hub for cargo traffic going to and fro Finland and Scandinavia.
