About the Suomenlinna, huoltol – Katajanokka crossing
The return of the supply run: eight sailings from Suomenlinna's service quay back to Katajanokka, 07.50 to 15.30 on weekdays.
Twenty-five minutes after arrival
Each departure sits about twenty-five minutes behind the inbound one — 07.50 against 07.25, 15.30 against 14.55 — the turnaround time for unloading. M/S Ehrensvärd works both directions.
Not the visitor route
This quay serves the island's residents and workers. Visitors use the main dock and the Kauppatori ferries, which run from 06.00 to 02.20 and take the same 15 minutes. The service route stops entirely in mid-afternoon and does not operate at weekends in the same pattern.
Practical notes
An HSL ticket covers the crossing as it covers any tram or bus; buy before boarding, since nothing is sold on the ferry. Suomenlinna has no vehicle-fee machine, so any transport fee is settled on the mainland side before travelling.
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.
