Fintraffic’s Board of Directors has appointed Sanna Järvenpää, MSc (Tech), as CEO of Fintraffic Railway as of 29 June 2023. Järvenpää succeeds Pia Julin, who became CEO of Fintraffic on 14 June 2023.

The slowdown of Finland’s national economy has been reflected in traffic volumes and heavy goods transport in particular during the first three months of the year.

Russia’s war of aggression has also had significant consequences for logistics in the Baltic Sea region. The West’s trade with Russia has declined dramatically, and Western logistics operators have largely withdrawn from Russia. In a sense, you could therefore say that Finland is once again logistically alone in the north-east of Europe. The collapse of Finnish trade with the East also means that maritime transport accounts for an even larger proportion of our foreign trade, further increasing the island effect.
