The port of Helsinki will be officially opened tomorrow (11/30/2008)
The port was the one of largest investment projects in Finlands history, including over 16 kilometers of tunneling and 30 kilometers of seaways, official pages (http://www.vuosaarensatama.fi/en/).
The new port also means shutting down three smaller ports (ro-ro port, oil terminal and a container terminal) in Helsinki, giving vast new areas by the sea to be built. Also, shutting down the ro-ro port enables new bridge to be built which apperently will be over 2km long.
