 Helsinki : Profile
Clearance is done at Suomenlinna Island, southeast of Helsinki, at a special clearance station for yachts. On arrival at the Helsinki traffic control area all vessels over 12 m shall maintain permanent watch on VHF Channel 71. Vessels over 20 m must report to the station the name of the vessel, its route and destination. A similar report must be made before departure.
Helsinki maintains a small-town feel; there are no high-rise buildings and the market square is still surrounded by 19th-century architecture. It is unlike any other Finnish city, due in part to the fascinating combination of Swedish and Russian influences.
