The Port of Turku is the oldest
port in
Finland, and it is mentioned in the
Arab geographer Muhammad al-Idrisi's 1154 book Kitab Rudjar. The port spans a wide area on the southern coastline of the city of
Turku, from the mouth of the
River Aura to the district of
Pansio. It is one of the most important ports in the country, with over four million
tonnes of
cargo and over four million passengers per year passing through. It is also the only port in Finland with
train ferry services, and its location at the southwestern corner of Finland means that it is most efficiently situated to serve the
Baltic Sea.
