The port has invested almost 40 million euros in the infrastructure and the expansion area of approx. 30 hectares.

The inauguration ceremonies of the D-area and the Baltic Sea Pulp Centre located on it took place in early October.

For the Port of HaminaKotka, this has been a major step into the future together with our long-term partners Steveco and UPM. The investments have enabled the launching of new large-scale operations at the Port of HaminaKotka,” commented Kimmo Naski, CEO of Port of HaminaKotka Ltd.

The first part of the quay of the D-area – quarrying and dredging work of the harbor basin, and the breakwater – are about to be complete.

At a later stage, more quay will be built, and it is also possible to increase the warehousing capacity.
