The Finnish economy in the global economic downturn, with an expected drop of 0.5% in 2009. However, the transport infrastructure of services is now thoroughly revised, prepared by for future growth, with significant development plans on the management of two major ports in Finland.

Although the export of steel products specialized mining equipment and container handling machines are still relatively strong in Finland, is the paper industryDifficulties. Facing a double blow of the slowdown in consumer demand and overproduction in the field of papermaking in general, the paper industry is the fight. Wood and plywood exports are also strongly affected by the sharp decline in construction. As the timber industry accounts for over 15% of total export earnings of Finland, a slowdown is a big influence on the volume of shipping withFinland.

However, it is a time of upheaval in the international freight transport infrastructure in Finland, with 2009 seen the opening of the new port Vuosaari in Helsinki, after twenty years of planning and development. This is truly a first in the history of European freight transport industry, as container traffic is the first time a European capital of Porto was the Advent movement. Vuosaari is now the new port of Helsinki and allForwarding and shipping company keeps a watchful eye on developments there.

Two key areas of goods handled in the old port were shut down and transfer the cargo to the port again. The development of the new port was a major project, valued at their total cost over a billion euros. The move resulted in substantial investment by companies, with only Finnsteve carry more than 100,000 €. Finnsteve is the introductionincreased competition in the Lo-Lo-sector, where the containers are now three stevedore container. It is expected that the 150 acres on Vuosaari will have a capacity of 2M TEUs per year. This is about four times the capacity of existing port and the growth of this magnitude will clearly revolutionize transportation in the region.

There is now wide span container bridges in the port of Vuosaari. They are designed, and how the access channel to the port is only 12.5 meters deep.

Vuosaariis designed as a gateway port fast, with low container residence, on the white and the limits of speed stacking, the objective paperless.

The site also contains a 35-hectare logistics park that will eventually house over 130,000 square feet of warehouse. Nurminen Logistics is among the first to take a grant of 11 hectares and was set up two drive-through warehouses and a rail terminal in a significant increase in the efficiency of shipments.

TheVuosaari suburb is also growing fast, presented with a population of 30,000 to 45,000, which grow in the short term, and therefore considerable efforts to create a pleasant environment around the port has been placed. This included the construction of a 11 meters high, 1.5 km long wall to hide the entire port as possible. There were light poles, so that light is connected to the carriage of goods away from the residential areas built as distractedand a 1.5 km tunnel to separate traffic forwarding from residential areas and other local traffic.

It also has a 13.5 km rail tunnel was built, primarily in order to avoid congestion, the first of 10 trains per day are planned, but that will double soon.

So, concentrate with all these activities and planning for expansion, is located Vuosaari Port of Helsinki to a new level and take in a new era for the shipping of freight forwardingCompanies in Finland.

Vuosaari is not, however, Finland's largest container port. This Kotka, which is flourishing as a result of growth in demand for Russian transit. The two ports have a slightly different profile. Kotka manages a good balance of exports and imports, while the international carriage of goods in the port of Helsinki strong import wizard.

Kotka has also recently a development of 150 hectares for a new logistics center is complete and is planning a major expansion project thatsee capacity increase to 2.5 million TEUs in 2025.
