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. [4]

The Port of Hanko specialises in fast cargo liner traffic, with the major operators including Transfennica  [ fi ], Finnlines and DFDS. [5] Among the main categories of import cargo are cars and other vehicles, while exports consist largely of products of the forestry and paper industries. [3]

Up to and including 2006, Hanko also handled passenger traffic, but this has since all but stopped. [4]
