en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finnish railway operator ArcticRail is set to commence shunting operations at the Port of Vuosaari, with freight transport expected to begin from the first week of August. This arrangement has been confirmed on the website of the Finnish Maritime Administration, which also outlines the operating conditions of the port's rail facilities.
In its announcement, the Finnish Maritime Administration stated that the Port of Vuosaari boasts excellent sea and land transport connections, with its port railway extending from the quays and loading areas to connect with the main rail network at Kerava.
Regarding the new operator, the announcement indicates that ArcticRail Oy is a Finnish railway company established in 2023, whose business scope covers rail transport and vehicle leasing across Finland's national rail network. The company currently focuses on complementing existing rail transport services and promoting the shift of heavy freight from road to rail transport.
The announcement concludes by noting that freight railway operators are responsible for transporting heavy goods between Finland's industrial areas and ports, while port authorities manage their own rail networks and service points, and port operators handle cargo loading and unloading at the Port of Vuosaari.
