Logisticoo runs transports from Germany to Finland and back — mostly as trailer traffic on the Baltic Sea ferries out of Travemünde and Rostock, with a fixed-price quote within 30 minutes and no customs formalities within the single market. Germany is Finland's most important trading partner: heading north we carry machinery, vehicles and parts, chemical products and consumer goods; coming back it is paper and pulp, timber products, metals such as nickel and steel, plus machinery from Finland's technology industry. Paper reels and forestry products demand careful handling and dry, swept-clean trailers — standard on the vehicles we deploy. For each shipment, our planners choose between accompanied transport (driver travels with the load) and an unaccompanied trailer on the ferry: the latter is cheaper and neutral in terms of driving time, the former faster for onward distribution. For Lapland and northern Finland we also price the overland route via Sweden as an alternative. Whether it is a weekly part load to Tampere, a project component for a sawmill or temperature-controlled foodstuffs: your personal dispatcher books ferry slots, plans pre- and on-carriage and keeps the transit time binding. Project shipments for the forestry and energy industries, ADR consignments and trade fair transports to Helsinki are also part of the programme. In winter we factor realistic weather buffers into the northern leg — a transit promise that doesn't hold is not one our planning team makes.
Routes & corridors
The standard option is the RoRo ferry from Travemünde or Rostock to Helsinki (Finnlines, roughly 30 hours at sea) with a trailer or the complete tractor unit. Alternatives: via Sweden (Öresund Bridge, E4 to Haparanda/Tornio) for northern Finland, or via the Baltics with the short ferry hop Tallinn–Helsinki.
Documents & processing
Finland is a member of the EU and the Schengen Area: no customs formalities apply, and even the ferry traffic across the Baltic Sea runs as an intra-Community movement requiring only an invoice and a CMR. Customs only become relevant for onward legs to Norway or other third countries.

Frequently asked questions: transport Finland
How long does a transport from Germany to Finland take?
Using the Travemünde–Helsinki ferry (around 30 hours at sea), total transit time from northern Germany is 3–4 working days to the greater Helsinki area, and 4–5 days from southern Germany. Unaccompanied trailers run within the same window but depend on the ferry departures.
How much does a transport to Finland cost?
As a rule of thumb, a full truckload Germany–Helsinki including the ferry leg comes to 2,500–3,500 €, with unaccompanied trailers at the lower end of the range. Single pallets by groupage to southern Finland start at around 150–230 €. We will give you your fixed price within 30 minutes.
Do I need customs documents for Finland?
No — Finland is an EU member, and even the ferry crossing over the Baltic Sea counts as an intra-Community movement with no customs clearance. Invoice and CMR are sufficient; export documents would only be needed for onward carriage to Norway or other neighbouring third countries — we do not operate transports to Russia.
