Volumes pick up at Helsinki - International Freighting Weekly: "The port of Helsinki has reported a 19% decline in container traffic in 2009, although volumes began to pick up last month.

The port handled a total of 357,000teu last year, and ro-ro volumes slipped 20% to 432,000 units.

However, the amount of unitised cargo by weight increased 8% year-on-year this January, to 705,000 tonnes, with exports through the port up 16%.
