Finnish ports play an important role in Finnish business.
In this sense, Finland could be compared to an island, as the ports located on its approximately 1,000 kilometres of coast function as links in the commercial transport of goods and passengers to and from foreign countries. In addition, our country has an abundance of lakes, and our inland ports can be accessed by foreign shipping through the Saimaa channel. Most Finnish ports are kept open to serve shipping all year long, in spite of the winter. Finnish Port Association is the central organisation of the municipal or public ports. It was founded in 1923, and it has 29 members.
