CEO'S REVIEW 2020 will not be a year easily forgotten. The COVID-19 epidemic battered the industry and port traffic throughout Finland. Unfortunately, Rauma was no exception. Exports of paper, pulp and sawn goods fell by almost 700,000 tons, and with forest industry imports dropping by almost 300,000 tons, the total decrease was nearly a million tons. Total port traffic amounted to five million tons, showing a decrease of 13.8 per cent from the previous year. In 2020, the port of Rauma handled 219,000 container units (TEU), a decrease of 16.4 per cent. The company’s turnover was 11.4 million euros, with a profit of 1.9 million euros. The decline in the company’s turnover compared to 2019 was mainly due to a strong decline in the export of forest industry products and the import of

INVESTMENTS In 2020, construction work on the fourth phase of the Petäjäs expansion area in the port of Rauma continued. The total value of this investment is approximately 18.5 million euros. In the spring of 2020, Metsä Fibre Oy made a decision to build a new pine sawmill in Rauma. The sawmill is currently under construction, and production is scheduled to start in 2022. The operators of the port of Rauma are preparing to handle the sawmill's products from 2022 onwards. Construction work on the west terminal, which will be used by Metsä Fibre, was scheduled to begin in autumn 2020, but an appeal against the terminal permit will postpone the start of work until 2023.

MARKETING Due to the coronavirus pandemic, no marketing events or trade fairs were held in 2020. Two smaller customer events were organised, one at the beginning of the year and one in the summer. Due to the exceptional circumstances, marketing was mainly carried out through newsletters, websites, social media, and printed brochures.

ENVIRONMENT In 2007, the port operations were granted an environmental permit that is valid indefinitely and guides the actions of Port of Rauma Ltd, its leaseholders and the businesses operating in the port area. The process of reviewing the conditions of the environmental permit began in 2014 and took effect from the end of 2018. The Port of Rauma participates in water and fish monitoring off the coast of Rauma using methods approved by the Southwest Finland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment. In addition, the impact of the Petäjäs expansion project on waters will be monitored in accordance with a separate monitoring programme. The process of replacing the lighting in the quay and field areas with LED lights continued. In addition, the control functions of the lighting system were developed, taking into account the use of the port's quays, and the emission requirements for winter maintenance contractors’ equipment were tightened.
