Port of Oulu Accelerates Green Transition
The Port of Oulu is preparing for significant green transition investments that will strengthen the region’s position as a hub for sustainable energy production and synthetic fuels.
The port’s updated master plan outlines developments through 2040, with the most notable changes driven by the emerging hydrogen economy. New port areas in Oritkari and the existing Vihreäsaari site will be zoned for chemical industry use. Key infrastructure upgrades include 400 kV substations and new quays to support future operations.
Earlier this year, French energy company Verso Energy secured a plot in Oritkari for a new plant dedicated to hydrogen and synthetic fuel production. The Port of Oulu’s TEN-T core network status and strong logistical connections were decisive factors in attracting the investment.

Over the past year, we have implemented significant improvements to our cargo handling capacity. The latest project – the widening of the shore ramp – was commissioned today 1st Dec 2025.
This upgrade enables cargo handling through three ramps on Enabler vessels instead of the previous two. Along with the 9-meter ramp extension, we also reinforced and expanded the quay area’s erosion protection, improving the long-term durability of the structures.
During this past autumn, the port’s timber storage yard was expanded by 8,000 square meters to meet the growing demand for timber storage.
