The Port of Uusikaupunki (also known as Port of Hepokari) is a mixed-use cargo port located in the city of Uusikaupunki, in southwestern Finland, on the eastern shore of the Bothnian Sea.[2]
The port services mostly RoRo traffic, but is also equipped to handle conventional and liquid cargo.[5][2]
In 2018, the total international cargo throughput of the port was c. 2.5m tons.[4] Approximately 60% of this was exports, making Uusikaupunki the 10th largest export port in Finland.[4] It is the main Finnish export port for cars, thanks to the Valmet Automotive plant located in Uusikaupunki.[6][7]
The shipping lane into the harbour had previously maximum depth of 10 metres (33 ft), but in 2015 this was deepened to 12.5 metres (41 ft).[3]
