 Editorial:The
Baltic perspective. Some 90 million people live in the
regions around the Baltic Sea. The area includes two metropolises:
St Petersburg and Berlin and environs, both with about five million

in both wet and dry will exceed expected demand by a good margin. |

Few ports in the car trade.
In Finland there are only a few ports involved in the import
