Navigational warnings

Finland's waters are in NAVAREA I. A ship there keeps the in-force warnings of that area, and of any NAVAREA it passes on the way.

Before you call at Finland

Pre-arrival reporting

Vessels seeking access to ports in Finland should provide preliminary notice, cargo declarations, dangerous goods declaration, shipyard information and shipwreck permits if applicable. Finland uses Portnet, a national maritime single window system, maintained by the Finnish Transport Agency.

Please see - https://tulli.fi/en/businesses/services-for-businesses/e-services/portnet

Please see pre-arrival information for individual ports for more details.

Rules in port

In the EU, SOx emissions from ships are regulated by Directive (EU) 2016/802, known as the 'Sulphur Directive'.

Since 1st January 2015, stricter sulphur limits for marine fuel in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) apply (0.1%) as well as in sea areas outside ECAs (3.50%). In addition, a 0.1% maximum sulphur requirement for fuels used by ships at berth and anchorages within port limits was introduced in EU Ports from 1st January 2010. Furthermore, passenger ships operating on regular services to or from any EU port should not use marine fuels if their sulphur content exceeds 1.50% in sea areas outside the ECAs.

From 1st January 2020, ships operating outside of Emission Control Areas should not use marine fuels if their sulphur content exceeds 0.50%.
