Growing investments in Northern Finland\u2019s industrial sector, mining projects and the green transition are driving demand for efficient logistics solutions. BB Logistics Oy<\/a> is well positioned to support this development, particularly at the Port of Kemi, which serves as a gateway to Northern Finland and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe operate as a port operator in five Finnish ports. We handle vessel loading and unloading, storage and onward transportation \u2013 essentially all operational port activities,\u201d explains Antti Vihavainen<\/strong>, Area Manager responsible for operational activities at the Port of Kemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemi is a strategically important location for the company. Its proximity to industrial investments in Northern Sweden makes it an attractive logistics hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKemi is an excellent location when looking at the entire northern region. We can provide virtually all the services our customers need, from project logistics and general cargo to bulk logistics,\u201d adds Kim Lindstr\u00f6m<\/strong>, CEO of BB Logistics Oy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agility as a Competitive Advantage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s strength lies not only in its capacity but also in the flexibility of its operations. BB Logistics has a relatively compact organisation, but one that is highly capable and responsive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our key strengths is agility. Customers can reach us quickly, and we can solve issues without having to go through heavy processes,\u201d Lindstr\u00f6m says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also reflected in everyday operations, where work is carried out in the evenings and at weekends when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf a job needs to be completed, we get it done, even if the so-called official working hours have ended. This level of commitment is not something that can be taken for granted in our industry,\u201d Lindstr\u00f6m emphasises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investments and Capacity Supporting Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, the company has invested particularly in increasing its storage capacity. In Kemi, BB Logistics currently has approximately 16,000 square metres of its own covered storage facilities, in addition to a substantial amount of leased space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have increased our capacity in line with demand, and we will build more when needed,\u201d Vihavainen explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The green transition is also reflected in the company\u2019s investments. BB Logistics has, among other things, introduced electric equipment and renewable fuels in response to customer requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to contribute to reducing emissions. Although electric equipment is still developing in some respects, particularly in the demanding conditions of the north, the direction of development is clear,\u201d Vihavainen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also holds comprehensive quality, environmental and occupational health and safety certifications, supporting the systematic development of its operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialised Expertise in Challenging Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The company has developed particular expertise in demanding project logistics, including the handling of exceptionally large wind turbine components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe essentially started from scratch and quickly built up the expertise required. It requires the right equipment, careful planning and continuous development of our employees\u2019 skills,\u201d Lindstr\u00f6m explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outlook for BB Logistics is cautiously positive. Mining projects and cross-border projects offer growth potential, although the current market situation remains uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t rule out any customer needs. We want to be involved across a broad range of segments and offer versatile solutions,\u201d Lindstr\u00f6m concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
