Government strengthens competitiveness of export industry by halving fairway fees permanently from 2025

The Ministry of Transport and Communications is calling for feedback on the government's draft proposal to temporarily halve fairway fees from 2024 to 2027. The consultation period ends on September 1, 2023. Simultaneously, a legislative amendment process will begin to make the fee reduction permanent.

In the government program announced on June 20, 2023, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's administration outlined the intention to change the temporary half-price fairway fee, currently levied on merchant vessels operating in Finland, into a permanent measure.
