SA-TU plans new terminal at Vuosaari Harbour

SA-TU Logistics and the Port of Helsinki have signed a letter of intent with the view to build a new terminal at the Vuosaari Harbour, said a press release issued by the Port of Helsinki on Tuesday.

The terminal will be set up on more than one hector area and the letter of intent regarding leasing the land.

SA-TU Logistics will start planning the first phase of the investment immediately.

According to the preliminary plan, the area will have two separate terminals and a total of approximately 4,000 square metres of new space. A 70-tonne overhead crane is planned for the second terminal.

"The Port of Helsinki and SA-TU Logistics have worked in close cooperation since the beginning of operations at Vuosaari Harbour", said the harbour’s Cargo Traffic Director Jukka Kallio.

"The letter of intent further strengthens the position of Vuosaari in industrial transport."

The new terminal will primarily focus on processing various steels, projects and other similar industrial goods, their short-term storage, and loading containers intended for export and unloading containers intended for import.
