Hanko (FIHKO)

Hanko is located at the southernmost point of Finland and is made up of two harbours; Outer Harbour and Western Harbour. It is one of the leading ports in fast liner traffic and remains open throughout the year with the assistance of State icebreakers. The port is the closest Finnish port to continental Europe and is able to handle RoRo, PCC and general cargo vessels. Cargo handled throughout the port includes paper exports, forest product exports, car imports, container traffic, livestock, steel products and project cargo. The port has a rich history due to the fact that the operations at the Western Harbour began in 1873. Butter was a major export to Copenhagen and England during the 1880's and 1890's including 15.3t being exported alone in 1905. Since the ports inception it has continued to grow and has been importing vehicles since the 1950's. The port had previous passenger ferry routes including one to Nynashamn, however these have since been discontinued. In 2020 the port was granted the Finnish Hyva YVA -award for best environmental impact assessment work and has Freeport status, through Freeport of Finland Ltd.

Summer Zone for ships over 100m in length and Winter Seasonal Area for ships of 100m or less in length, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Hanko, the southern most port of Finland, is situated on the SW coast, approx 150km SW of Helsinki.

Max LOA 250m, beam 34m, draught 13m and 17,705DWT.

Approx 4,900,000t of cargo, 57,000TEU and 1,927 passengers handled annually.

A waiting anchorage for vessels approaching Hanko, Hanko Outer Roads, has been established centred in position 59°40.0'N 022°58.5'E, 3nm S of Hank 1 East Edge Mark in depths of 25-30m. The most sheltered anchorage, Hanko Inner Roads, located 0.4nm NW of Gustavsvarn Light, in a depth of 29-31m, with Gustavsvarn Light Tower bearing 128° and Meijerfelt N Island bearing 026°. The anchorage is within the red sector (263.5°-283°) of Tullisaari Light, which leads clear of a shoal with a least depth of 5.8m, marked by a buoy (isolated danger) and a further shoal, depth 9.2m, close N of this buoy. A shoal depth, 6.2m, 0.3nm W of the anchorage is marked by a buoy (N cardinal). Strong SE'ly winds can build up a rough swells within the area. Anchorage may also be obtained in a depth of approx 29.0m, 0.4nm WSW of Hanko Harbour entrance.

The harbours are generally approached from SE by way of the sea pilot station, but may also be approached from Saaristomeri, from SW, or by the routes from E. The fairways leading to the port require local knowledge and vessel speeds will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis. The inshore fairway, available for 9m draughts leads from the pilot station at Uto whilst a separate route available for draughts up to 7.3m connects the 9m channel with the Hank Outer Harbour. An outer coastal route is available for draughts up to 8.5m whereas the inner coaster route is available for draughts up to 5.5m The Outer Harbour, situated close W of Tulliniemi, is approached by a channel, 8nm in length with draught 9.0m. The main approach channel is then entered at the Hanko 1 East Edge Mark. The Western Harbour, situated 2.5 miles E of the Outer Harbour, is approached by a channel, 8nm in length with a draught of 13.0m. The main approach channel is then also entered at the Hanko 1 East Edge Mark.
