The autumn season of our port trips began with visiting the Finnish Naantali (coupled with partaking in Finnlines' launch of its spanking-new Superstar ferry Finnsirius across the Naantali-Kapellskär crossing via Långnäs).

Whereas the EU TEN-T Core Port and its charming, easy-to-fall-in-love-with town are pretty compact, plenty of various cargo activities are taking place throughout its quays.

Naantali took care of 4.42 million tonnes in 2022, including 2.29mt of general cargo (1.96mt wheeled, some 143k ro-ro cargo units, and 328kt break-bulk) and 1.47mt of liquid and 663kt of dry bulk, respectively.

Naantali is also home to vibrant passenger traffic: 207k ferry travellers were welcomed last year.
