The Finnish seaports took care of 14.12 million tonnes in international traffic last year (-13.2% year-on-year), plus 196.4kt in cabotage (-73.2% yoy).

At the same time, the Port of HaminaKotka welcomed 13 cruise calls with 20k guests, twice as many as in 2022. "The absolute highlights of the season were the visits by Silver Wind, the luxury cruiser of Silversea Expedition Cruises, at the island of Ulko-Tammio in early June. The visitors spent a day on the island, getting to know its beautiful natural environment and interesting fortification history. These visits also attracted considerable international attention," highlighted Petra Cranston, the Port of HaminaKotka's Project Manager Cruise Business.
