Ship Supplier & Ship Chandler in RAUMA (FIRAU) - AVS

RAUMA (FIRAU), located on the western coast of Finland along the Gulf of Bothnia / Baltic Sea, is one of Finland’s key container, forest products, paper and pulp, Ro-Ro/StoRo, bulk cargo, project cargo, general cargo, industrial cargo, and multipurpose maritime logistics locations. The port area is strongly associated with Finnish west coast container traffic, paper and cardboard exports, forest industry logistics, dry and liquid bulk cargo, Ro-Ro/StoRo operations, project cargo handling, industrial supply chains, Baltic Sea feeder routes, and Northern European marine logistics.

As a recognised UN/LOCODE port location, RAUMA supports vessel activity linked to container ships, Ro-Ro vessels, StoRo cargo users, bulk carriers, general cargo vessels, breakbulk vessels, project cargo vessels, forest-products carriers, chemical and industrial cargo vessels, service craft, tugboats, and logistics-linked marine users. Public port references describe Rauma as the biggest container port on the Finnish west coast, while Euroports identifies Rauma as Finland’s second-largest paper export port, third-largest container port, and the largest container port on the west coast. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
