Shipping harbour
A Kotka shipping company sails its vessels to Vyborg and St Petersburg in Russia, to Tallinn in Estonia and to the island of Gotland in Sweden. In the passenger harbour, the museum ship Tarmo is open to the public.
On the other side of the bay can be seen the Sunila pulp mill designed by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, and to its right the Enso Gutzeit sawmill, built on Kotkansaari last century by the Norwegians. Kotka's prosperity, development and growth dates from this time.

On the evening of Finnish Independence Day (6th December) a candle burns in every window of t he City Hall. On New Year's Eve, the people of Kotka fill the square to celebrate the start of a new year.
