Port of Hanko

The Port of Hanko is a cargo port in the city of Hanko, on the south coast of Finland. Situated almost at the tip of the Hanko Peninsula, it is the southernmost of all Finnish ports.

Harbours
The port comprises three areas:
 * Western harbour: 5 RO-RO quays; depth 8.6-14.0 m
 * Outer harbour: mostly used to import and store vehicles in free-trade zone facility; 2 quays; total length 366 m, depth 7.8-10.5 m; also includes over 620000 m2 storage area
 * Koverhar harbour: focusing on bulk cargo; 2 quays; total length 367 m, depth 9.0-11.0 m; also includes c. 600 ha of storage area

Traffic
With total annual international cargo throughput of 4.8 million tons in 2018, Hanko is the 6th biggest port in Finland by cargo tonnage. The total volume is fairly evenly split between exports and imports.

The Port of Hanko specialises in fast cargo liner traffic, with the major operators including Transfennica, Finnlines and DFDS. Among the main categories of import cargo are cars and other vehicles, while exports consist largely of products of the forestry and paper industries.

Up to and including 2006, Hanko also handled passenger traffic, but this has since all but stopped.
