make the right choice – in Hamina it was a diffi cult choice, but the right choice.”

During the process, Mr Naski and his colleagues were encouraged by the positive reaction of the port com-munities towards the proposed merger. “We have been asking our customers and our partners what is their opinion about the merger and without almost

Dr Kimmo Naski is CEO, Managing Director of the newly formed Port of HaminaKotka Ltd, the fi rst merged port company in Finland. After many years as managing director of the former Port of Kotka, since 1 May 2011 he fi nds himself in charge of the largest general port in Finland.

A keen proponent of co-operation between the two ports for many years, Mr Naski was one of the driving forces behind the merger, along with his counterpart from the former Port of Hamina, Jan Gran.

He explains how the merger came about: “Competi-tion is getting tougher for us. Both Russia and the Baltic States are building their own ports and there is growing competition from other Finnish ports. In Kotka and Hamina we have been making double investments. This was very capital-intensive and really makes no sense. Through the merger we are now trying to avoid this.”

JoinForces

The economic downturn in 2008 was a real eye-opener for many in the region as the throughput of both ports fell by a third. People began to realise that things had to be done diff erently.

“The only possibility was to join forces and start working together. There was also a change in a lot of the attitudes towards the merger, but it was still so tight at the end. In the end, both towns decided on the same day at the same time.

“But I am proud to sit here now and say that our owners made the right choice. They were able to

Coming out of the recession and changing the way the port works is an ambitious undertaking. What does Mr Naski forecast for the immediate future of the new port?

“After the past two years it is not easy to summarise or forecast. No-one knew the recession was coming and GDP in Finland went down by nine per cent – that’s more than at any time since the First World War. And port traffi c went down by 35 per cent. No-one can remember such a fall. Then we had a fast recovery – no-one can remember, if at all, such an increase. It’s not very analytical to forecast anything on the back of all that.

positive

“On the other hand, the merger makes me think positively for the future. It’s looking like a much better future together than going it alone.

“The normal way is that cargo creates cargo and more cargo creates more cargo – cargo always comes to where the largest cargo streams are.

“Now that we are the biggest port in Finland in containers, liquids, forest products – you name it – and if ‘cargo brings cargo’ functions in the future, then it is good for us. But this is not entirely what we are going to do. We are not going to wait. We are trying to be proactive together with our customers to create new solutions, make life easier for our customers, and if we manage to do that then we are going to grow faster than our competition.”

any exceptions they said they are for the merger. They see chances and the possibilities of combining the ports in the same company. So the customers want it, the owners want to see the ports create – not the port company itself, but the ports as a whole – more jobs for the area and working together we can manage this.

“We were competing for the same traffi c, building infrastructure and buying cranes for the same traffi c and so on; but now we have the possibility to steer the traffi c to the best possible part of the port, and not doing the same traffi c in two or three places.

“So we can save resources and optimise traffi c and this will always be done together with the custom-ers. We will continue to listen to what the customer wants and how they would like to have it and, of course, try to make compromises because we have a lot of customers to keep happy.

“For the ports, the customer, the partners and the owners. There are benefi ts for all.

“Our clients are going to have a port that can service all cargoes, all customers and all traffi c types. We are able to invest in the future traffi c, which we may not know today, but we are able to concentrate invest-ment for future needs and not compete with each other.”

Overseeing the daily opera-tions of the Port of Hamina-Kotka is just part of the role of Port of HaminaKotka Ltd.

In the highly competitive busi-ness of seaports, the manage-ment of HaminaKotka knows that, to be really eff ective, a port company must off er value added services and logistics solutions and must listen to its custom-ers and fulfi l their demands. This principle is applied to all opera-tions at the Port of HaminaKotka.

company

HaminaKotka Port is a limited company established on 1 May 1 2011 and created from the former limited companies of Port of Hamina Ltd and Port of Kotka Ltd.

The port is owned by the municipalities of Hamina and Kotka. Hamina has a 40 per cent share, while Kotka has 60 per cent. The board of directors is made up of eight offi cials from the municipalities. Three are from Hamina and fi ve from Kotka.

The port is run from the Merituuli building. Located at the main gate of the Mussalo harbour, it provides offi ce space for the Customs service and for about 60-70 logistics companies. Over 400 people work in the Merituuli building, which has a total of 12,200 square metres of space, and 120 people work in the Hamina offi ce building which has a total of 7,885 square metres of space.

BrightFuturetogetherfor finlAnd’s eAsternmost ports

The strengths of both ports lie in their partners and the level of service they provide. This is what has enabled them not only to survive the harsh eco-nomic climate of the past few years but also to thrive and grow. By the start of 2010 cargo volumes at Kotka were almost back up to 2008 levels in many sectors, while Hamina’s recovery was not far behind.

The long-awaited merger between the two compa-nies – agreed on 8 November 2010 and actualised on 1 May 2011 – heralds a new era for port operations in the east of Finland, leaving the days of competition behind and moving into a new age of co-operation.

Competition between the two ports has been a determining factor in their respective growth over their history; but at times it has also been detrimen-tal and divisive, involving unnecessary investment to stay ahead of the game. Now, that is all in the past and together the whole port will be stronger than the sum of its parts as these two intermodal hubs work together to serve markets in eastern Finland, Russia and the CIS countries.

hamina

In 2010 Hamina handled 1,000 vessel calls and 4.5 million tonnes of cargo. About a fifth of this was containerised cargo, while a third was transit traffic to Russia. Its main cargo streams are exports of forest

In tough economic times, only the strong survive. After a record year in 2008 the former ports of Kotka and Hamina – like most other ports in the region – suffered a dramatic downturn in volumes, losing as much as a third of their cargo.

They survived, however, and under the new banner of HaminaKotka they have combined their strengths to become the largest and most versatile port in Finland.

Page 11: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

Baltic Sea-max fairway leads to Kotka allowing the handling of Cape size vessels.

The forest products sector is still a major revenue earner for the port in spite of a general downturn in the forest industry across Finland. More than a quarter of the cargo handled in 2010 was exports of forest products such as cardboard, paper, sawn timber and wood pulp.

By contrast, in the car handling sector, the Hietanen terminal is Finland’s second-busiest car terminal.

products and liquid bulks and imports of raw materi-als for the forest products industry.

By 2011 the port will be able to receive much larger vessels. The former maximum vessel size was about 40,000 dwt, but the

fairway has been straightened and deepened from 10.0 metres to 12.0 metres. This allows for the width of the ships to be increased by 10 metres and the length by 30 metres, which equals a 50 per cent increase in cargo capacity.

With the deepening of the fairway, panamax vessels can be used for the first time. In particular, this is an important advantage for the oil terminal because of the trend towards larger commercial loads as the liquid bulk trade continues to expand.

kotka

In 2010 the berths in Kotka – including Mussalo, Hie-tanen and the City Terminal – handled about 2,400 vessels and some 11.3 million tonnes of cargo. The cargo streams are similar to Hamina, and while transit traffic through Kotka is slightly larger, it accounts for just 17 per cent of its total throughput. A 15.3 metre

service as HaminaKotka competes for business with other Baltic ports rather than with its neighbour.

challenges

The region is at a turning point in its history. As well as the expected recovery and growth in port through-put, there are many other reasons to be optimistic. The proposed wind energy cluster is gaining momentum and could generate hundreds of new jobs in the region as well as provid-ing the port with a new cargo stream.

The huge traffi c in liquid bulk exports from Russia continues to grow. In addition, container imports and forest exports are recovering.

For new investors, the port areas and their hinter-land provide many options for start-up businesses in both newly built and refurbished premises. There is ample land available and a wel-coming attitude from local authorities.

Although there are challenges ahead for HaminaKotka – not least of which is adapt-ing to life a single entity – the port has a lot going for it. Its range of terminals, services, expertise, partners and experience, as well as its strategic location and connectivity, will ensure its future as a major player in the local economy. And it has repositioned itself at a good time to capitalise on the growth that will surely come in the years ahead.

Mussalo was Finland’s fi rst dedicated container harbour and is still its largest, with an annual capacity of over 1 million teu. In 2010 the terminal handled nearly 400,000 teu, down from its 2008 peak of 600,000 teu.

haminakotka

For generations the ports of Hamina and Kotka have existed side by side in competition. The formal merging of the two ports in 2011 is a milestone not just for the two municipalities, which own the ports, but also for the ports industry in Finland. Already, this model of co-operation is reaching other regions of the country, with talk of possible mergers between previously competing ports.

From a business point of view, the merger can only be good news for all concerned. It will provide shippers with a simpler, more cost-competitive and unifi ed

although some consolidation of services and terminal activities is expected in the near future as the port operators streamline their activities.

hamina

Hamina’s multipurpose port has a land area of 320 hectares with a further 200 hectares approved for port use. With a total of 3.2 km of quay, Hamina off ers a wide range of berths handling containers, forest products and liquid bulks. All berths are rail linked. Thanks to its location, Hamina has developed an expertise in handling transit traffi c to Russia, the CIS countries and even the Far East.

The port has seven ro-ro ramps and three ship-to-shore gantry cranes. The container terminal has an annual capacity of 500,000 teu.

In addition, the port has over 40 km of rail track, 470,000 square metres of covered and open storage and some 830,000 cubic metres of liquid bulk storage capacity. It also has a terminal for liquefi ed petroleum gas (LPG).

hietanen

Located in the heart of Kotka, just north of the City Terminal, Hietanen harbour used to be the main facility of the former Port of Kotka. Since the

The Port of HaminaKotka off ers a more diverse and extensive range of terminals and berths than any other port in Finland. The port has three main ter-minals with over 8.7 km of quay between them, as well as various smaller quays.

Approximately 3,400 ship calls are received each year by the port, which handles 16 million tonnes of cargo and has dedicated berths for containers, dry bulks, liquid bulks, forest products, ro-ro traffi c and trade cars as well as for ferries and leisure craft.

Most of the port’s traffi c is handled at the main termi-nals of Hamina, Hietanen and Mussalo.

Following the merger of the two ports, the level of throughput is expected to remain stable for 2011,

also embraces the recently built Jänskä quay, which is being used to handle pipes for the Nord Stream project. A 15.3 metre Baltic Sea-max fairway leads to Mussalo allowing the handling of Cape size vessels.

The fi rst terminals in Mussalo were opened in 1989 with the container terminal opening in 2001 as Fin-land’s fi rst dedicated container terminal.

The logistics area covers 500 hectares and includes 275,000 square metres of warehousing and over 100 logistics operators. The container terminal has an annual capacity of 1 million teu.

The administration of the Port of HaminaKotka is to be housed in the Merituuli building, by the main gate of Mussalo, which also contains the offi ces of nearly 100 other companies.

otherterminals

In the city centre of Kotka, many of the old terminals have been transformed into public and tourism-related areas and the whole area has been and land-scaped and rejuvenated.

While small volumes of paper, pulp and conventional cargo are still handled across the City Terminal’s quays, the new centrepiece is the Maritime Museum of Finland, on the Härniemi Quay, which has become a new landmark in Kotka.

Also in the Kotka area are the terminals of Sunila, operated by Stora Enso Oy, and Halla, operated by UPM-Kymmene Seaways.

opening of the Mussalo harbour, it has focused on ro-ro traffi c such as forest products, general cargo and vehicles.

The terminal has six stern-to ro-ro ramps alongside 900 metres of berthing. The car terminal covers 110 hectares and there is over 100,000 square metres of covered storage as well as a large number of logis-tics companies providing storage and sorting of groupage cargo.

mussalo

Mussalo is the newest harbour in HaminaKotka. It consists of a container terminal served by seven gantry cranes, a bulk terminal, a liquid bulk terminal and a vast logistics area for value added services. It

BirthoFanew‘superport’for finlAnd

For many, the merging of these two large ports was overdue. The severe competition ruled out the pos-sibility of a joint strategy.

Following the merger, HaminaKotka has become Fin-land’s largest general cargo and export port as well as being the third-largest container port and 15th largest port in the Baltic region. The administrative – and economic – benefi ts of this merger are obvious and numerous and the whole port community now looks to the future with confi dence.

history

In fact, talks of co-operation between the two ports have been on and off the agenda for the past 40 years. To begin with, Hamina wanted co-operation and Kotka did not. For the past 20 years, however, it was Kotka that off ered the hand of co-operation. All through the process the problem was to fi nd a common approach that could be agreed by both sides.

A new chapter began for the mari-time sector in eastern Finland on 8 November 2010 when the munici-palities of Kotka and Hamina fi nally decided that the port compa-nies of Kotka and Hamina should merge to form a ‘super port’. The new port company, HaminaKotka Satama Oy – the Port of Hamina-Kotka – commenced operations on 1 May 2011.

The process of considering a merger between the ports began in October 2009. Working groups representing the two municipalities and ports, weighed up the possi-bilities and looked at what ports were doing in other countries.

Representatives visited the recently merged Port of Malmö/Copenhagen to hear about the experiences

of those ports. Importantly, they learned that any change in operations following a merger must be made on the terms of the client, not the port. This is something that the man-agement of the former ports of Hamina and Kotka bore in mind all the way through the process.

The world economic crisis and the subsequent fall in throughput at both ports was another incentive for the merger.

Page 17: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

The underlying fear that the merger would favour Kotka over Hamina was fi nally dismissed after much discussion and negotiation. The task proved more diffi cult than many had expected, but the result was welcomed by all concerned and, fi nally, the long-held wish for a common port authority has been realised. The hope is that this new-found trust will extend into other areas of co-operation between the two cities.

costBeneFits

In the short term, there will be costs implications to get the new entity running as smoothly as possible; but in the long term the cost benefi ts are worth mil-lions of euros in savings as the two ports combine their strengths. Its new role will strengthen the com-petitive Kymenlaakso route and port operations serving the transit trade to and from Russia.

What is clear, though, is that the change in manage-ment structure will have no eff ect on the smooth operation of the port terminals. Everything will remain 100 per cent operational during the transition.

The new port company, Port of HaminaKotka Ltd, will operate from the Mussalo harbour in the offi ces of the former Port of Kotka. However, the rest of the port authority’s service sectors will be assigned to offi ces in both Mussalo and Hamina, along with a manage-ment team for each offi ce.

The Port of HaminaKotka Ltd will be owned 40/60 by the municipalities of Hamina and Kotka and its board of directors will consist of eight members: three from Hamina and fi ve from Kotka.

In addition, customers and partners are now able to deal with one administration, thus reducing paper-work and red tape and allowing companies to focus on their core business.

Benefits for all

• One company, one operation, one standard

• Opportunity to streamline traffic and optimise working patterns for both port and client

• Port companies can streamline their operations and perhaps consolidate premises and equipment

• The two ports have joined forces to improve marketing and provide a better service for clients

• Stronger financial position

• Big saving for the municipalities in terms of short-term investment that is no longer required or can be postponed

• Greater trust and co-operation between the two municipalities and their ports.

The ports merger between Hamina and Kotka has been widely acclaimed as a successful decision for both communities. It brings benefits not only for the ports but also for the municipalities, the local business community and the customers and part-ners of the two ports.

For the municipalities of Hamina and Kotka, who own the ports, they are the principal hub of industry for the region. They were keen for the merger to take place so that the whole community could advance into the future with confidence.

As the country’s largest general port, HaminaKotka will also bring a new level of confidence to its customers.

For many, the merger is the best thing that could have happened in Hamina and Kotka. There is a mood of optimism and positive belief that has not been expe-rienced for a long time.

It is estimated that the merger has saved about €60 million in planned investments that are no longer required or can be postponed. Now that the ports are no longer competing for the same business, facilities and infrastructure can be shared.

finland’s leading container port

The port also has a second container terminal in Hamina with an annual capacity of 500,000 teu, bringing the total capacity of HaminaKotka to 1.5 million teu. Following a downturn in 2009, the termi-nals were running at 60 per cent capacity in 2010 and handling about 500,000 teu.

Mussalo

Since opening in 2001 the Mussalo container termi-nal has grown dramatically in terms of both infra-structure and throughput. With ongoing investment and traffi c increasing year on year, it became Finland’s largest container terminal in 2006 when it handled a record volume of 461,874 teu. In 2008 it handled 627,768 teu before dropping back down to 345,939 teu in 2009.

Operating 24 hours a day, all year round, the termi-nal has nearly 1.8 km of quay with seven ship to shore gantry cranes and two mobile cranes and one RTG. Mussalo also handles special containers for dry and liquid products, including IMDG and reefer containers.

At the start of the 21st century, the nation’s fi rst dedicated container terminal entered service at the Mussalo harbour, thus changing forever the way that containers are handled in eastern Finland.

Since then the terminal with three privare terminal operators – still the largest in Finland – has grown in capacity and scope and now has an annual capacity of 1 million teu.

Page 23: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

The terminal is served by three gantry cranes, while almost 80 logistics companies are located nearby.

Following the merger of the ports of Kotka and Hamina, some consolidation and segregation of traffi c fl ow is only to be expected. In addition, the fairway in Hamina has been dredged to 12 metres to allow larger vessels to call from 2011.

value added

The wide range of logistics services available in the port areas is a major advantage for shippers using the Port of HaminaKotka, especially those involved in transit traffi c to Russia and CIS countries.

Located within the 500 hectares of Mussalo harbour is a large warehousing complex covering a total of

Containers are positioned and located using a dif-ferential GPS positioning system to guide straddle carriers in all weathers – especially useful after heavy snow when visual identifi cation is impractical.

One of the chief benefi ts for importers is the vast logistics area to the rear of the terminal, with over 100 companies providing transport and value added logistics services. This has become a key component in the all-important transit trade to Russia.

haMina

The Hamina container terminal has 610 metres of quay and an annual capacity of 500,000 teu. In 2010 it handled about 115,000 teu, down from a peak of 160,000 teu in 2008, but up slightly from 2009, indi-cating that a recovery is under way.

21

Almost 200 companies provid-ing logistics, forwarding and value added services, shippers and cargo owners can be con-fident that the Port of Hami-naKotka has the capacity and expertise to handle consign-ments of any size.

Goods can be removed from containers for labelling, repacking, groupage and consolidation for onship-ment to Russia – all carried out in secure conditions.

security

Both terminals also have complex and stringently controlled access systems to ensure the safety and security of cargo.

Plans to expand the Hamina container terminal were put on hold when the two ports merged. Between them they have ample capacity to serve the growing needs of the domestic and transit market for several years to come. It is a remarkable fact that the Port of HaminaKotka could, in theory, handle ALL the con-tainers currently handled in Finland.

275,000 square metres. These facilities, which include heated warehousing, are available for containerisa-tion, handling and intermediate storage of export and transit goods. Many of the warehouses also have an all-weather rail siding.

Hamina has a total of 300,000 square metres of capacity, including indoor and heated storage. Facili-ties for temperature controlled and IMO cargoes are also readily available.

Page 25: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

much smaller. Volumes here also peaked in 2008 – at almost 47,000 vehicles – but have since dropped away significantly.

reassessed

Use of the 40 hectare vehicle storage area at Hamina is being reassessed in the light of this downturn. One option is to use the land for industrial activities.

While the port certainly has the facilities and the expertise to handle large volumes of vehicles once again, the future is unclear. Car manufacturing in Russia may further dent this lucrative sector. But if, as expected, the cost of these Russian-built cars is low, the flow of traffic could be reversed, so that Finnish ports could be handling exports of Russian cars.

Until the decline in 2008, due to a slump in sales of imported cars in Finland and Russia, car han-dling was a thriving business for the ports of Hamina and Kotka. Volumes grew from virtually nothing in 2002 to a peak of more than half a million in 2008, making Kotka Finland’s main gateway for car imports as well as its largest port in terms of transit cars to Russia.

The vast majority of car imports are handled at the Hietanen terminal, which has 110 hectares of dedi-cated car storage with seven ro-ro berths and 610 metres of quay.

In 2008 a total of 463,281 passenger cars were imported through Hietanen, primarily for the Russian market. A decline in 2009 and 2010 – which affected all car handling ports in Finland – brought imports down to under 100,000, though a recovery is expected in 2011 as Russian consumers look to buy new cars once again.

The cars are transported mainly by road, but the Hietanen Car Termi-nal also has a ramp for loading cars onto rail wagons, allowing cars to be rail-hauled to their final destination.

By contrast, the car terminal at Hamina is

of sawn timber. One of the fastest growing sectors is the export of pulp, which almost doubled in volume from 2009 to 2010 and accounts for more than 800,000 tonnes of cargo.

Both Hamina and Hietanen have dedicated facilities for these products, with specialised equipment and warehouses for sto-ro cargo. More and more prod-ucts are also being handled in containers, including the extra large Stora Enso Cargo Units (SECU) con-tainers, which have a capacity of 80 tonnes, three times more than a standard 40 ft container.

paper giants

The papermaking giant Stora Enso has been focus-ing its operations in southern and eastern Finland on Kotka for some time. The company is also a share-

Like most of Finland’s ports, Kotka and Hamina were built to handle the large export trade in forest products such as paper, board, sawn timber and pulp. In fact, HaminaKotka is still the country’s largest export gateway for forest products.

Following a period of consolidation and change as Finland’s paper industry responded to the challenges of lower-cost paper from other parts of the world, and several large companies realigned their operations, the forest products industry is still a key business sector for the Port of HaminaKotka Ltd. In addition to exports of products, it includes imports of raw materials, particu-larly chemicals, for use in the various processes.

In 2010 the HaminaKotka port handled over 4.6 million tonnes of forest products including 3 million tonnes of paper and cardboard and 700,000 tonnes

holder in Steveco Oy, the main stevedore in the Port of HaminaKotka. Another paper giant UPM has con-siderable cargo streams in the diff erent harbours of HaminaKotka.

As well as exports, signifi cant volumes of raw mate-rials are imported such as kaolin, chalk and raw wood. About three-quarters of all raw materials are imported, while the rest are sourced locally. These imports account for some 2 million tonnes a year.

Beside the above mentioned paper giants some of Finland’s other leading forest products companies have chosen HaminaKotka to handle their exports.

and began operations in 1938. The mill produces bleached sulphate softwood kraft pulp from pine and spruce sources and has an annual capacity of 370,000 tonnes.

•  UPM is one of the world’s leading forest products groups. Its main products include printing papers, self-adhesive label materials and wood products. UPM Seaways – the logistics unit in Kotka – operates the Port of Halla opposite the Hietanen terminal.

• The sawmill of Haminan Veistosaha Oy is located inside the Port of Hamina. It supplies sawn timber and processed products such as jointed and lami-nated items for use in the construction industry. Sig-nificant volumes are exported to Japan. While much of the timber processed in the region’s sawmills is locally sourced Finnish softwood, large volumes of imported Russian roundwood are also used.

recovery

After some tough times, the paper and forest prod-ucts industry in the region is mounting a recovery. Volumes are increasing as the price goes up and the market is improving. And in view of the port’s long experience and handling expertise, forest products are set to play a significant role in the future of the newly merged port.

• Myllykoski Paper Oy is one of the world’s largest producers of publication paper. Its products consist of wood-containing uncoated and coated publica-tion papers, including newsprint for publishers, print-ers and retailers worldwide.

• Tervakoski Oy is Finland’s most diverse paper mill and a leading supplier of ultra-lightweight wood-free paper at its mills, 200 km from Hamina. It also pro-duces handmade paper.

• M-Real is the largest exporter through Hamina, supplying paper board, office paper and speciality papers, mainly to European markets.

• The Sunila Mill in Kotka – now wholly owned by Stora Enso – is situated at the mouth of the Kymi River

Smooth operations at all the terminals rely on the expertise and efficiency of the steve-doring services. Over the past decade there has been heavy invest-ment in the develop-ment of all terminals in the Port of HaminaKotka. As a result, the port now offers a level of terminal handling operations that many regard as the best in the region. This commit-ment to excellence is shown not only by the port company but also by individual operators, who strive to put the customer first and provide services that match the needs of cargo owners.

cranes

There are seven container gantry cranes at Mussalo – which are all owned by the stevedores – while the three container gantry cranes and one mobile crane in Hamina are owned by the Port of HaminaKotka Ltd and operated by the stevedoring companies. This flexibility puts the customer firmly in the driving seat.

Steveco handles more than three-quarters of all dry goods stevedoring in the port areas, while other operators are Finnsteve Oy, Multi-Link Terminals Oy and the Stella Group, etc.

Top quality cargo handling services are provided by a range of private-sector companies in the Port of HaminaKotka. The largest stevedoring company in the port is Steveco Oy. Together with other com-panies, it offers first-rate cargo handling services to the port’s customers.

Steveco is Finland’s leading port operator and a market leader in the transportation of Finnish forest products and transit cargo. It offers a wide range of services through various subsidiaries including transit, logistics and forwarding as well as ship agency through the wholly owned Dahlberg’s Agency.

At the Hamina container terminal, productivity levels average 30 moves per hour, with an effi cient landside operation to keep the containers and trailers moving.

In Mussalo, Steveco deals with handling and forward-ing of dry bulk cargo at the bulk terminal, and takes care of imports and exports of large project cargoes in Hamina, as well as being the main operator at the container terminal in Mussalo (where it handled 345,937 teu in 2010). Steveco also operates 36,000 square metres of warehousing for stuffi ng and strip-

Until 2010, Hamina Multimodal Terminals (HMT) per-formed nearly all the stevedoring at the Port of Hamina. With the merger of the two ports, the stevedoring oper-ations of HMT – owned by the Port of Hamina – were passed to Steveco.

Despite its historical links with Hamina, Steveco had ceased to operate there. With the acquisition of HMT, however, it is now the major stevedoring company in all three of the main terminals in the newly formed Port of HaminaKotka.

new facility

Stella Group opened a new 24,000  square metre warehouse in Mussalo in 2010. This heated facility will handle project and transit cargo, with particular attention paid to developing cargo handling man-agement  systems as part of the company’s well designed logistics process. Stella Group has a total of 40,000 square metres of warehousing in Mussalo. The company also handles car imports through Hietanen.

The port operator Multi-Link Terminals provides a range of skilled and fl exible stevedoring and terminal operations and container depot services. In Mussalo, the company operates a 250 metre long container jetty equipped with a range of mobile cranes. Alto-gether there are 10 dry goods stevedoring compa-nies in the Port of HaminaKotka.

In many ways HaminaKotka is a more reliable option than other Baltic ports, not only because of its loca-tion, but also thanks to its tried and tested infrastruc-ture, its first-rate connections to Europe and beyond, and its safe and secure storage facilities. Of course, Finland also has the same rail gauge as Russia.

The two main liquid bulk terminals are located in Hamina and Mussalo. In 2010 Hamina’s terminals handled about 2.4 million tonnes of liquid bulks, more than half of the total tonnage throughput in Hamina. The volumes are more modest in Mussalo, with a total throughput of about 700,000 tonnes in 2010.

versatile

The Mussalo Liquid Terminal has two berths with draughts alongside of 10.0 metres and 13.5 metres. Companies operating at this terminal offer a versatile range of storage tanks and an efficient loading and unloading system for rail wagons and tank containers.

At Hamina, there are three oil piers with depths alongside of up to 12 metres as well as a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pier with 9.0 metres alongside.

Over 3 million tonnes of liquid bulks are handled each year at a wide range of terminals in the Port of HaminaKotka.

The bulk of this traffic consists of chemical and oil products from Russia destined for European markets. Most of it arrives at specialised terminals by rail tank cars before being exported by sea, while some prod-

ucts are used as raw materials in local industries and processes before onship-ment.

Located just 35 km from the Russian border, the port has attracted large volumes of transit trade for many years now thanks to its expertise and experience in handling liquid bulks.

31first-rate services for liquid bulk exports

offers storage and transhipment services. It has 27 storage tanks in Hamina with a total capacity of 93,360 cubic metres. The main product handled is methanol. Most of these products are brought to the terminal in rail tank wagons and exported by sea, but some are used domestically.

•  Baltic Tank Oy – Operates 20 storage tanks with a total capacity of 57,465 cubic metres. The terminal has several loading stations and a weighbridge for road tankers. Products handled include raw materials and products for the latex industry, fuel oils and bitumen.

• ST1 Biofuels Oy – Produces ‘green’ bio-ethanol fuel from waste products and ships exports them by sea for blending.

• L&T Recoil – Recycles waste oil into a high quality base oil. Waste is brought in by road and sea and the plant has a direct pipeline link to a berth for loading tankers.

•  Neste Oil – Handles large volumes of mainly heavy oil from Russia which is stored before been shipped to its refinery at Porvoo. It has 11 storage tanks with 104,000 cubic metres of capacity.

• Haanpaa Group – Logistics provider for liquid chemicals and lubricants logistics with 21 storage tanks in a 2,700 square metre warehouse.

Also located in the Hamina terminal are: Teboil; Styron Suomi Oy (formerly Dow Suomi Oy), which manu-factures latex for high quality paper coatings; Dynea Chemicals Oy, Finland’s largest producer of adhesive resins; and BASF Group, manufacturer of polymer dis-persions for use in paper and board coating. Stanoil has a presence in Mussalo.

The majority of operators are located in the Hamina liquid bulk terminal, although Vopak operates out of both Hamina and Mussalo. As well as importers and exporters of liquid bulks, various processing compa-nies have set up in Hamina to take advantage of its ready access to raw materials from other plants as well as the port’s many transport links.

The major operators are:

•  Oiltanking Sonmarin Oy – Operates 35 tanks in two separate terminals in Mussalo with a total capacity of 84,410 cubic metres shell capacity and deals mainly with liquid chemicals in transit from and to Russia as well as a range of oils and fuels.

• Vopak Chemicals Logistics Finland Oy – Operates 34 tanks in Mussalo totalling 125,000 cubic metres, with a further seven tanks totalling 41,000 cubic metres in Hamina. The company is specialised in han-dling and storing chemicals and oil products as part of transit export, import and domestic flows. The ter-minals handle rail cars, containers, trucks and vessels, and have heating facilities.

• FGG Finngas GmbH – With a total capacity of 35,200 cubic metres for LPG in 14 tanks and spheres, this is the only terminal of its kind in Finland. LPG is delivered by rail from Russia and stored in tanks ready for export across the dedicated pier.

• NEOT – In addition to the company’s own fuel storage, it specialises in liquid bulk chemicals and

many other ports in the region. The port complex is just 35 km from the border, with St Petersburg a further 240 km and Moscow a further 950 km away.

Roads

All the main terminals are located a short distance from the main E18 highway. From Turku, on Finland’s west coast, to the Russian border the E18 is mostly dual-lane highway. Now the remaining part of this route is to be upgraded to dual lane after years of dis-cussion. Construction is due to start in 2012 or 2013 for completion by 2015.

The Customs area at the border is also being targeted for investment. There are plans to segregate freight and passenger traffic in order to ease congestion. In this respect, the Russian side is a few years ahead of the Finnish side. There has been a gradual improve-ment overall, however, and this process will speed up once the highway has been upgraded.

The Port of HaminaKotka has the advantage of an ideal location close to the markets it was devel-oped to serve. Initially built to handle Finland’s expanding forest products sector, the port now handles about a third of its throughput in the form of transit cargo en route to and from Russia and the CIS countries.

The region’s excellent transport links – by road, rail and sea – have assisted this growth and today the area is home to many logistics and transport com-panies handling large volumes of liquid bulk cargo, commodities and consumer goods, with a special niche market in value added services.

HaminaKotka is the closest Finnish port to the Russian border, giving it an unparalleled advantage over

central and eastern Europe and the UK. Its services also include value added logistics, warehousing and Customs clearance, refrigerators and special transport services as well as transport of hazardous cargo. VR Transpoint has several thousand units of rolling stock available.

Meanwhile, Nurminen Logistics Oy has completed several test runs of a block train from Hamina to Vladi-vostok. Realistically, the aim is to dispatch one train per month on this route, while the long-term target is a weekly service.

All the main terminals in HaminaKotka are rail linked. Hamina has 43 km of track and over 50 per cent of its hinterland traffic goes by rail. The Kotka terminals have about 36 km of track linking the harbours with the main rail network. In addition, many logistics operators have their own rail sidings to speed the transfer of cargo and thus reduce demurrage costs for customers.

The vast majority of liquid bulk cargo is transported in rail tank wagons provided by private operators such as Railcraft Oy, which specialises in the transport of oil and petrochemical products in Finland, Russia, CIS and the Baltic countries.

inteRmodal

In addition, in response to the ever-growing demand for logistics and value added services, many of the port’s ter-minals and private terminals are now intermodal, allow-ing goods to be transhipped quickly and efficiently.

While the long-held dream of a continuous dual-lane highway to Russia is close to realisation, roads on the other side of the border have also been upgraded and there is also a relatively new rail link to St Petersburg.

Rail

The common rail gauge shared by Russia and Finland allows freight to be rail-hauled directly without the need for transloading. There are regular rail links from Finland further afield to Moscow and the Far East via the Trans Siberian Railway. It is not uncommon for freight to be hauled from the Pacific Rim countries to Finland and then back to Russian markets after some value added services.

Finland’s biggest logistics group is the rail operator VR Transpoint, created by the merger of VR Cargo and Transpoint in November 2010, which provides daily services between Finland, Russia, the Baltic countries,

fiRst-Rate loGistics is KeY to enhanceD cargo services

These modern facilities deal with transit cargo as well as attending to the storage and distribution needs of cus-tomers both in Finland and across the border in Russia.

Before the worldwide decline in 2009, the ports were handling large quantities of high-value consumer goods; and while volumes were down in 2010 com-pared with 2008, they are increasing once again.

Because of the high import duties in Russia, import-ers have their goods shipped to Finland, where indi-vidual orders can be picked, repackaged and trans-ported to warehouses in Russia for fi nal distribution. This is effi cient for importers and wholesalers, who can then avoid overstocking.

The logistics companies also perform a wide range of value added services including assembly of parts, labelling, adding instructions and pricing.

Gateway

The Port of HaminaKotka is an ideal gateway into Russia and facilitates smooth trading between Europe and Russia and the Far East. One of the main logistics companies involved in these operations in Hamina is DHL Freight (Finland) Oy, which has 55,000 square metres of warehousing in three separate facilities. There are 59 loading docks, thus allowing containers to be transferred from the harbour with a minimum of delay, unloaded and stored before picking and packing according to customers’ needs. The transit centre has a train bay that can accommodate four wagons at a time. With its multilingual staff – speak-ing Finnish, English, Russian and Japanese – DHL

Support companies are a vital link in the cargo han-dling chain and a spectacular example of this key sector can be found in the Port of HaminaKotka.

Today, in response to the huge volumes of bulk cargo and consumer goods now passing over the

quays, a signifi cant cluster of logistics and freight forwarding specialists has made its home in and around the main port areas.

As the port has responded to the growing demand from Russia for freight transport services, these com-panies have become an indispensable part of the port operation, helping to make HaminaKotka even more attrac-tive to cargo owners and thus pushing up volumes still further.

For cargo owners, one of the main advantages of using HaminaKotka is

the backloading of empty containers from Russia, which are used to export paper products. Imports and exports are fi nely balanced, with very few empty containers leaving the port areas. This has proved highly effi cient and cost-eff ective for the port’s cus-tomers.

Mussalo has two large areas for value added logistics companies. The Hanskinmaa and the newer Palaslahti areas both cover 150 hectares and are located within the port estate. Over 100 companies, large and small, are based here. Hamina has over 70 companies oper-ating in this fast-moving sector.

of the company’s operations and in 2010 it launched the fi rst block train service on the Trans-Siberian Railway since 2005. The train consisted of 64 contain-ers destined for Vladivostok before being loaded for other destinations in south-east Asia. Journey time is 10 days and the company hopes this will eventually become a weekly service.

East Light Oy in Hamina off ers logistics services for transit cargo such as forwarding, transport, handling and storage, with experienced staff who are multilingual in Finnish, English and Russian. The company specialises in the Russian market and can organise transport and forwarding services from its 9,300 square metre ware-house. It is rail connected and can handle three wagons or three 40 ft high-cube containers simultaneously. There are 22 loading bays for trucks. The company also operates a 6,500 square metre warehouse at Vaalimaa on the Russian border, which has 17 loading bays.

handles a range of products including general cargo, machinery, car parts and forest products destined for eastern markets, even as far away as Japan. It is also the only operator in the port with a permit to handle pharmaceuticals.

Bonded waRehousinG

Stella Group specialises in bonded warehousing and forwarding from its 30,600 square metre facility at Mussalo. In addition to logistics services to and from Russia and the CIS, it organises full-scale warehousing for all kinds of cargo. The facility, which has 45 loading ramps, is rail linked and is located just 100 metres from the container terminal.

Transit trade is a vital part of the port’s throughput, accounting for 30 per cent of all cargo. The lion’s share of cargo transport from the port is by truck; but signifi cant volumes also go by rail thanks to the availability of rail linked terminals. This traffi c includes block train services direct to destinations such as Moscow and further afi eld.

Nurminen Logistics Oy has operations in both Mussalo and Hamina. In 2009 it opened a 16,000 square metre facility alongside three hectares of outdoor storage in Hamina. Rail logistics is a key part

GReen issues take pRioRity at ‘sUPer Port’

• Harbour de-icing measures in winter to limit engine use and damage to berths

• Regular training of port staff on hazardous goods issues

• Emergency response management and drills

• Sustainable working practices such as recycling and effi cient use of energy and resources

•  Protection and preservation of the seabed

• Working to improve seawater quality through a pilot project in the Hamina and Tammionselkä area in partnership with Pöyry Finland Oy.

The EMS also includes the identifi cation and evalu-ation of environmental impact; planning and imple-mentation of improvements; preparation for emer-gencies; environmental impact monitoring; and appropriate communications.

By adopting a systematic approach, the port aims to reduce the environmental impact of its operations, increase environmental awareness and foster interac-tion between members of the port community.

Concern for the environment is a key factor in all port operations at HaminaKotka, both for the port company and for individual operators. Much of its cargo throughput is hazardous goods such as oils and petrochemicals, so an eff ective policy on safety and environmental care is vital to the sound opera-tion of the port and the well-being of its personnel.

The port aims to be a leader in concern for the envi-ronment as well as in operational safety and secu-rity. It seeks to minimise the impact of its operations through an environmental management system (EMS) that includes:

• Monitoring of operations and vessels to prevent water pollution

• Keeping dust levels to a minimum at the bulk terminals

• Reducing vessel emissions through effi cient traffi c management

Page 43: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

• Some access roads have special barriers and fences to reduce noise pollution

• Kotka was the fi rst port in Finland to receive individual recognition from the World Wildlife Fund for its offi ce personnel because of their ‘green’ approach to issues such as reducing waste

• Continuous monitoring of emissions and pollution

• In 2010 Kotka hosted a workshop on ‘Sustainable development at the port; planning, monitoring and communication’ organised by the Finnish Port Association (FPA) and ESPO (European Sea Ports Organisation) The workshop encouraged the development of environmental indicators for ports

• In 2009 Kotka became a partner for ESPO Ecoports. It has been a member of the FPA’s environmental working group since 2002.

By managing environmental issues, the port hopes to mitigate the harmful eff ects of port operations and encourage more awareness and interaction between members of the port community. A prerequisite for a well-functioning port operation is that the whole staff is motivated and that the environmental factors are considered in all operations.

Important milestones in recent years include:

• Ecoport project, launched in 2009, to consider the environment in all port operations. Based on the ‘life cycle’ approach, with all stages from design and construction to commissioning and decommissioning being taken into account

• The Ecoport principle was applied to the multipurpose Jänskä quay, including a lighting control system that avoids unnecessary use of energy, a comprehensive waste management plan, and a waste disposal system for vessels moored on the quay

•  The Port of Kotka Ltd t is certifi ed to ISO 14001 and ISO 9000 standards

• Kotka was the fi rst Nordic port to receive ISO 14001 certifi cation and in 2003 was the fi rst major port in Finland to receive an environmental permit based on the Environmental Protection Act

• Hamina was also certifi ed by BVQI to comply with the amended ISO 14001: 2004 environmental management system

Like all sectors of the economy, the transit trade has suffered in recent years. While it was among the first to return to growth in 2009, the pattern of traffic flows had changed. Under-standably, there is less traffic in high value consumer goods such as cars and electronics to Russia, but conversely there are more Finnish exports of liquid bulks such as chemi-cals and oil and dry bulks such as ore and metals.

The outlook is good, however. Gross domestic product in Russia is forecast to rise by six per cent in 2011 with imports growing by more than 10 per cent. By 2012 imports are expected to top pre-recession levels. With a potential market of 150 million people within reach of Finland’s ports, this traffic is worth pursuing.

tRaffic

In 2010 transit traffic via Finland to and from Russia grew by 16 per cent from 2009 to 7.1 million tonnes and was valued at €17 billion. The Port of Hamina-Kotka receives about half of this traffic, handling 3.5 million tonnes in 2010, which accounts for about a third of the port’s total throughput.

About a quarter of transit traffic is imports of high value goods such as cars, consumer goods, electron-ics and machinery. The rest is exports of dry and liquid

Transit traffic is a key source of business for the Port of HaminaKotka. Its location as the closest Finnish port to Russia – as well as the most easterly port in the northern European Union – gives it a huge strategic advantage.

A unique selling point for HaminaKotka is its use of the imbalance between full and empty contain-ers. Because the port handles such large volumes of forest products for export, hardly any containers leave the port empty, thus leading to cost savings for cargo owners and forwarders. Goods from incoming containers are transferred to one of the port’s many warehouses for value added activities as well as con-solidation for onshipment. The empty containers can then be used for export.

bulk products such as chemicals, metals and ore. The once-large traffic in cars and other vehicles to Russia has fallen significantly, but is expected to revive in 2011 and 2012.

stRaiGhtway

The marketing association Straightway Finland offers a helping hand to the many companies operating in the transit sector. With a membership of over 50 logistics companies and ports nationwide, Straight-way was created in 1996 as a project of the Kymen-laakso Chamber of Commerce. In 2003 Straightway was founded as a members association, which has continued the promotion work.

Straightway’s objective is to promote business between international trading partners and logistics providers. Its activities include attending trade fairs and contact forums, taking part in meetings and seminars, hosting potential transit customers, organ-ising company visits, carrying out market research and providing information about opportunities and development projects.

Another important part of its work is to build part-ners around the world. This entails analysing emerg-ing markets. For example, in 2010 Straightway sent a

Such is the good reputation of Finnish cargo handlers that some traffic comes overland by rail from the Far East to Finland, where it is unloaded, sorted and repacked before being delivered to Russian markets. This is the kind of area in which Finnish companies excel. It often involves tough and complicated logis-tics and handling operations.

futuRe

After nearly all volumes collapsed in 2008, trade is gradu-ally reviving, even though traffic patterns have changed. Some cargo that was once discharged to Finnish ware-houses now goes direct to final destination in contain-ers or via St Petersburg for discharging there.

But while volumes are expected to grow again, there are other threats to the port’s cargo traffic levels as Russia develops its own ports further as well as setting up factories for cars and electronic goods. However, this may, in turn, lead to HaminaKotka han-dling project cargoes such as construction equip-ment and materials, which would be an ideal traffic for Finnish forwarding companies. Another possible threat could be Russian companies that develop their own logistics systems. On the other hand this could also be an advantage for the Port of HaminaKotka.

The Port of HaminaKotka is confident it can compete under these terms and is able to offer better value, security and reliability than its rivals. The potential traffic volumes are huge and there is no doubt that demand in Russia for imported goods will increase and Finnish ports – especially HaminaKotka – are pre-paring themselves to play a key role in this traffic.

Finland also offers reliability. Transport links are punc-tual and reliable, with daily services to many European ports. There is ample capacity – in fact, Finland as a whole has over 2 million square metres of storage for transit cargo –  and the port already benefits from a dense export industry with connections across Europe.

In addition, standards of safety and security are high – a vital concern for owners of high value cargo. There are extensive Customs bonded warehouses and Finnish ports also offer a free dwell time of seven days compared with just one day in St Petersburg.

This means lower handling and warehousing costs and greater peace of mind for the cargo owner and shipper.

value added

Almost 200 logistics companies – ranging from small operations to large groups – are located in the port areas at the major terminals of HaminaKotka. For inbound consumer goods, many of these companies perform value added services such as order picking, labelling, palletising, repacking, stock management, mixing and assembling before onshipment to final destination.

This huge network of companies in the transit sector is a key asset for the port.

areas, including Hanko in Finland, before being trans-ported to the pipe-laying barge. The rest of the pipes are transported directly to the laybarge.

Mussalo is one of just five locations in the Baltic Sea that are handling this pipe logistics traffic. EUPEC also has another concrete weight coating facility in Mukran, Germany. A total of about 202,000 concrete coated steel pipes will be needed for the Nord Stream Project. Each steel pipe is approximately 12 metres long and 1,158 mm in diameter with an average weight of 11 tonnes before coating. The concrete coating, which roughly doubles the weight of each pipe, guarantees the stability of the pipeline when laid on the seabed.

world leader

EUPEC is a world leader in the application of multi-layer anti-corrosion coating systems. For over 40 years it has been providing reliable solutions for end-to-end protection of steel pipelines for both onshore and offshore pipeline projects.

For the Port of HaminaKotka this traffic has high-lighted its ability to respond to unusual demands and to handle difficult cargoes with efficiency and confidence. The raw materials used in the concrete coating, such as sand and iron ore, are imported as bulk cargo and in containers, and are handled by Steveco Oy and Stella Group.

The Port of HaminaKotka is a key player in the Nord Stream project to connect Russia and the EU via Germany with a natural gas pipeline through the Baltic Sea.

HaminaKotka has been involved in the project since 2009 and will have handled some 76,000 sections of subsea pipe at the Jänskä Quay at Mussalo by the time it is completed in 2012.

The Nord Stream pipeline will link Portovaya Bay, near Vyborg, in Russia, to Greifswald, in Germany. The 1,224 km route will consist of two parallel pipelines. The first line, with an annual capacity of 27.5 billion cubic feet, is due for completion at the end of 2011 with the second expected in 2012. Estimated cost of the project is €7.4 billion.

The pipe sections are brought in by rail and sea from Russia and Germany, and are then concrete weight-coated, and made ready for installation at a purpose-built quayside facility operated by EUPEC. Part of the finished pipes are then shipped to interim storage

Cursor and WinWinD signed a co-operation agreement in early 2011 to develop a wind energy cluster in the region. The target is to develop new parks with a total of 40 installed wind turbines by the end of 2013. As part of the agreement, both parties will look for compa-nies to join the cluster, which will create new jobs in Finland’s wind energy sector.

In addition, Cursor, WinWinD and TuuliWatti Oy have agreed to develop wind energy projects in the region. An example is the wind farm project in the munici-pality of Virolahti, which will have six WinWinD3-type turbines. In the longer term, the agreement encom-passes developments for 30 wind turbines in the region.

foUndation

While many foresee a transition in the region’s indus-trial activities – with new sectors growing and tradi-tional ones such as papermaking on the decline – it is the region’s core advantages such as its effi cient infra-structure and fi rst-rate port services that remain the foundation on which any new sector, such as wind energy, will rely.

The Port of HaminaKotka’s expertise in handling complex and awkward cargoes will be a vital asset when the proposed wind energy cluster gets going and will further enhance the port’s reputation for competitive and fl exible services.

• Fostering connections and co-operation with Russian market

• Promoting effi cient use of ICT in regional businesses

• Creating ICT applications

• Setting up new well-being and health service concepts

• Strengthening regional competitiveness.

wind power ClUster

Wind energy is a target market for Cursor. Already, the WinWinD development has focused attention on the region and Cursor is looking for suitable operators to join a wind power cluster including manufacturers of blades, components and towers as well as the often complicated and challenging logistics operations that accompany this industry.

Cursor convinced WinWinD to base its facility in Hamina by means of a comprehensive package that was tailored to its needs. In addition to its strong industrial background, the region has fi rst-rate logis-tics services operating out of what is now the largest port in Finland and is ideally located close to the Russian market, with its huge potential for trade.

With forecasts of 15,000 to 20,000 MW of installed wind energy capacity in the Baltic Sea region by 2020, Cursor is playing an active role in creating a cluster. Initially it is seeking 100 sites. Cursor will facilitate the joint development of sites as well as negotiating with local partners on behalf of interested companies.

training

Skilled and motivated personnel are a key asset for the Port of HaminaKotka. All staff receive training and professional development support in the workplace. Additional training is off ered, such as fi rst aid and other individually targeted courses.

On average, each person receives two and a half days’ training each year.

The welfare of employees is a key consideration. The port aims to provide a pleasant working environment as well as arranging community events such as physi-cal exercise and recreation. Staff also have access to occupation health care.

seCUrity

Security is important, too, in a port dealing with high value goods and hazardous cargoes. Its customers can be confi dent that the port runs a strict security operation with modern communications and location technology.

As the largest port in Finland and a vital link in the transport chain between east and west, the Port of HaminaKotka has a responsibility to provide its customers with the highest standards of safety and security in its handling and operational procedures.

In addition, environmental concerns are given top prior-ity and there are various schemes in operation to ensure that the port’s working environment and its immediate environs remain safe, healthy and unpolluted.

All port areas are certifi ed to ISPS standards and a Port Facility Secu-rity Offi cer (PFSO) is available at all times through the ISPS-security contact point. In addition, all port areas conform to ISO 9001 quality standards and ISO 14001 environ-mental standards.

The port’s quality service is not just limited to its renowned high standard of customer service but

also in ensuring that its stakeholders and partners maintain the level of quality expected of them. The port authority is authorised to inspect the operations

Page 55: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

to be found easily, thus improving the rate of container handling from shore to ship.

Detection of counterfeit and illegal cargo is carried out by Customs offi cers. In addition to traditional search methods, they use an X-ray scanner for pallet-sized loads and a sniff er dog for illicit substances. Large loads up to full truck size can be sent to Vaalimaa, near the Russian border, for full internal scanning.

Transit goods can also be subjected to strict testing and control procedures.

reliability

Thanks to these priority measures and strict policy requirements, the Port of HaminaKotka is able to operate in a secure, safe, effi cient and, above all, reli-able manner.

Its reliability is what sets HaminaKotka apart from other ports in the region. The port sets high standards for a good reason – so that its customers can be con-fi dent when they choose the Port of HaminaKotka.

The port community has become ever more security conscious, thus ensuring the safety of personnel as well as cargo. Modern technology is used to assist this process; and, of course, the vigilance and integ-rity of port staff and other port workers is a further safeguard.

Access to port areas is strictly controlled by a system of gate passes and permits. There is CCTV monitoring of terminal approach roads and other port facilities. Offi cers make regular patrols to check for suspicious activity and are in constant touch with the security centre.

A modern gate access system has been installed at each main terminal to control and monitor all staff and vehicles entering the port areas.

Each vehicle’s registration number is saved into the system and each number plate is scanned automati-cally at the gate before the vehicle is allowed to enter.

Containers are typically handled by GPS location systems, so it is almost impossible to lose a container – a vital consideration when there can be over 10,000 containers stored in the port. It also allows containers

products also led to storage tanks being installed from the 1950s onwards. In the early days, cargo han-dling was focused on what is now the City Terminal; but as the ro-ro terminal at Hietanen opened in 1971 and the Mussalo liquid bulk terminal followed in 1989, cargo traffi c moved away from the city centre.

However, the real modernisation of what was then the Port of Kotka had to wait until 2001 with the opening at Mussalo of Finland’s fi rst dedicated con-tainer terminal.

thriVing

Kotka did not offi cially become a town until 1878 but is now recognised as a thriving commercial centre with a population of about 55,000.

The city of Kotka was built on the success of the forest products industry; but down the years, while remaining a port city, it has developed a unique appeal as a tourist destination while also embrac-ing a wide range of industry.

It was the rapid expansion of the forest industry in the 19th century that led to a new loading port at the mouth of the River Kymi. Timber from central Finland was fl oated down river to be sawn ready for export worldwide. Sawmills were built and more quays installed to provide access for the growing numbers of sailing ships.

Nearby islands were adapted for use as terminals, and even today Halla and Sunila are home to giant paper and pulp plants. The demand for oil and petroleum

CUltUral City With a strong MaritiMe Focus

Tourist visitors to Kotka can choose from a range of attractions including architecture by Alvar Aalto, an aquarium, art galleries, a concert hall, histori-cal churches, a maritime library, museums and the famous Imperial Fishing Lodge as well as beautiful parks and gardens.

CentrepieCe

In recent years the City Termi-nal has been transformed into an attraction of national inter-est. Having won the bid to rehouse the Maritime Museum of Finland – which was moving from Helsinki – the city opened the Maritime Centre Vellamo to the public in 2009 to form an impressive centrepiece at the City Terminal.

The Maritime Centre Vellamo also embraces the Museum of Kymenlaakso and the Information Centre Vellamo and is housed in a striking quayside building that resembles a surge of water. Berthed alongside is the historical icebreaker ‘Tarmo’, also open to the public.

In summer, the waterways around this conspicuously maritime city come alive with activity. Kotka’s mari-time heritage is a big tourist attraction for the city and each year there is a four-day maritime festival, Kotkan Meripäivät, which draws up to 150,000 visitors.

Many of the large companies of yesteryear are giving way to new entrepreneurial ventures, not only in the logistics and support sectors but also in niche sectors such as food processing, information technology and the services sector.

The municipality is keen to emphasise the attractive-ness of the Kotka area for setting up new business ventures. There is plenty of space available for devel-opment and the business community is ready to welcome new investors.

There is no lack of expertise among the people of Kotka thanks to a fi rst-class education system that includes a locally based department of Helsinki University as well as a polytechnic and several vocational schools.

The city also has a Swedish school as well as a kinder-garten for Swedish, Russian and English-speaking chil-dren and is looking to open an international school in the near future to cater for the growing number of foreign workers. As well as 600 Swedes there are about 1,000 Russians and up to 200 English speakers.

Other city services are of a high standard with excel-lent health care, child day care, sports opportunities and a good infrastructure. Kotka also has its own sym-phony orchestra.

In addition, the lack of congestion on the region’s roads means a short commute to work. Most jour-neys involve very short distances, thus saving time and money, and ‘rush hour’ is virtually unheard-of.

CharMing haMina sets CoUrseFor a prosperous Future

Today, Hamina is a beautiful old town with a modern outlook. Its wooden buildings and structured layout invoke an image of bygone days and provide a fas-cinating collection of historical buildings, churches, museums and architecture to explore. Outside the town, too, the beautiful archipelago, with its sea-scapes and fi shing villages, is well worth exploring.

inflUenCe

Hamina has a population of just 22,000 and regards the port as a vital part of its economy, with some 20 per cent of the workforce involved in port-related activities.

The Port of Hamina developed quickly after the Second World War with the Lakulahti Basin opening in 1955 and a new range of harbour facilities – includ-ing a stevedoring company set up by the forest industry – appearing in the 1970s.

As container traffi c continued to grow, the port opened its fi rst container berth next to the Palokan-gas Quay in 1994 and added a second berth in 1995. Container facilities were further expanded in 2000. Since 1975 the port has also handled exports of Russian oil products. A second oil pier was opened in 1982 and a liquefi ed petroleum gas (LPG) terminal in 1986.

While Hamina is proud of its past, it has also devel-oped into a modern hub for international trade and logistics with a dynamic cluster of specialised com-panies.

Originally a garrison town, with its streets laid out in a circular pattern, the city of Hamina can trace its origins to the 14th century. Known at that time as Vehkalahti, it was fi rst mentioned in a document dating from 1336. The town of Hamina itself was founded some 300 years later.

Prior to Finland’s independence, Hamina and its for-tress were infl uenced by war and peace between Sweden and Russia. The town was destroyed by war in 1712 and then rebuilt in its current form, based on an Italian renaissance concept, with a star-shaped fortress and a circular town plan. The work was com-pleted in 1725.

The most signifi cant historical event in Hamina – and arguably in Finland – was in 1809 when the Treaty of Hamina brought the Finnish War between Sweden and Russia to a close and ended 600 years of Swedish connections with the region.

Page 59: HaminaKotka Port Handbook

Hamina hopes to announce many other investment projects to follow in the footsteps of WinWinD and Google.

benefits

The business community in Hamina has long held the view that land for development must be readily available. This means it can always fi nd space for new ventures.

Its location, between the major centres of Helsinki and St Petersburg, has obviously been a key factor over the years; and, of course, it is the closest port ter-minal in Finland to the Russian border.

Hamina has its own energy company. Haminan Energia Oy is owned by the City of Hamina and off ers bespoke energy packages to companies. These packages consist of electricity, natural gas, heat, steam, hydrogen, demineralised water, hot oil, emer-gency power, internet connections and services – whatever the cus-tomer needs for its operations. Haminan Energia is specialised in the production of wind energy. Wind turbines are located at Kemi and Hamina harbours.

The City of Hamina also prides itself on its quick deci-sion-making, which enables projects to get going with a minimum of delay. This ‘can do’ attitude, combined with genuine enthusiasm and an open welcome, has convinced many companies that Hamina meets their needs and is where they want to be.

Hamina is a peaceful place to live and work with a strong sense of community – a combination that has helped to attract new companies. The City of Hamina is an enthusiastic supporter of new business and has land and premises available for fast and effi cient start-ups. Two recent examples help to underline the city’s positive attitude.

first rate

In 2009 WinWinD located to Hamina, attracted both by the availability of a ready-to-use building and by ready access to fi rst-rate port and logistics facilities. The Hamina plant is used to assemble the generators and hub units for the company’s wind turbines and has created 250 jobs.

In addition, also in 2009, the internet giant Google acquired the old Stora Enso paper mill to convert it into a data centre in what is regarded as a coup for the city. For Google, Hamina off ered the right com-bination of energy infrastructure, development land and an available workforce as well as being able to give a quick decision. The new centre will create 50 jobs initially and may set the scene for other IT com-panies to establish operations in the area.
