About the Katajanokka – Suomenlinna, huoltol crossing
The service route rather than the passenger one: eight sailings a day from Katajanokka to Suomenlinna's huoltolaituri (service quay), roughly hourly on weekdays between 07.25 and 14.55.
What this ferry carries
M/S Ehrensvärd, owned by Suomenlinnan Liikenne, works this crossing and brings the islanders their post and groceries. It is how a few hundred residents on a UNESCO world heritage site get supplied — the tourist traffic goes from Kauppatori instead.
Weekdays, daytime only
Nothing runs here in the evening and the last departure is just before three in the afternoon. If you are visiting the fortress rather than working or living there, the Kauppatori route is the one you want — 79 sailings a day, until 02.20.
Tickets
Ordinary HSL tickets apply, bought in advance; there is no sale on board. Vehicle transport fees are paid at machines in the Katajanokka terminal, never on the island.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Covered by standard HSL tickets alongside tram, bus and metro
- Year-round service through Baltic winters
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
