The Finnish seaport will grow with a 4.5 ha storage area in preparation for handling wind turbine components.

There are 36,580MW of offshore wind energy projects at different stages of development in Finland (vs 70.7MW of currently installed capacity).

The port extension will also help accommodate the expected increase in cargo traffic following the set-up of the 800kt/year (fossil-free) production capacity Kaskinen folding boxboard mill by Metsä Board.
