PortThe TWIN-PORT VI project has received a funding decision from the EU.

The Port of Helsinki aims to develop the Vuosaari Harbour. The total cost of the project covering two harbours is EUR 30.8 million, half of which is financed by the European Union. Budget of Tallinna Sadam for the entire project is EUR 20.3 million, and about EUR 10.5 million is estimated by Helsinki Port.
