west coast. The Port of
Rauma is one of the largest
and busiest in Finland. Since
2014, Seaside Industry Park
Rauma has provided a good
operational environment
for many types of maritime
companies having extensive
know-how of shipbuilding
and related fields of work.
Cooperation has also helped
Rauma’s new shipyard.
T
he Seaside Industry Park in Rauma is an
industrial park complex for heavy mari-
time industry. The park consists of facilities
for independent companies and is situated
within the former shipyard area.
The idea of the industry park is to
offer an efficient and strategically placed
environment to companies in the Finnish
maritime cluster, complete with shared
infrastructure and services.
The park is conveniently situated in
a logistics hub. Two shipping routes lead
to Rauma. The port has regular liner traf-
fic to different parts of Europe, the U.S.,
and Asia.
Rauma’s location on the western
coast of Finland is also a benefit, with
good connections to Finland and abroad.
Additionally, the freight transportation rail-
way enables transports around Finland. For
other types of transport, highways and air-
ports are situated close by.
