DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARITIME QUARTER IN MARIEHAMN

Sjokvarteret is a port primarily for ships and wooden boats, but also for visiting leisure boats. Here is a harbor with 300 m berth. The Maritime Quarter is located just north of Mariehamn's eastern port and offers a living marine environment with boat construction, other crafts as well as museums and a restaurant. With the support of Seastop, the port has now been expanded with a large floating jetty and we will also be able to upgrade signage and invest in better ground basis etc.
