Herttoniemi Harbour, Former railway and oil port in Herttoniemi, Finland

The harbor complex extended over several hectares and featured specialized infrastructure for handling oil shipments through its maritime facilities in Helsinki.

Established in 1937 as an oil port, the harbor operated continuously until 1992, serving as a central point for petroleum product distribution in southern Finland.

The harbor development transformed Herttoniemi from a villa district into an industrial zone, reflecting the rapid urbanization of Helsinki during the mid-20th century.

The harbor site has been converted into a residential area called Herttoniemenranta, accessible via the Helsinki Metro and the Itäväylä arterial road.

Archaeological excavations near the former harbor revealed Bronze Age graves, indicating human settlement in the area dating back several millennia.
