Frequently asked questions

Short Sea shipping refers to maritime transport over relatively short distances - mainly within Europe – and complements road, rail and inland waterway transport. Short sea shipping is an efficient and sustainable part of today’s multimodal supply chain. 

As a global logistics transport company, we can transport all types of cargo: general goods, liquid freight, bulk, breakbulk and oversized project cargo. In Finland, we also specialize in forest product logistics industry via inland waterways such as logs, sawn timber, pulplogs, woodpulp and telegraph poles.
