Neva Logistics coordinates full truckload (FTL), groupage (LTL) and pallet transport from Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, Osijek, Varaždin to Helsinki, Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Lahti. Croatian freight reaches Finland via Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and the three Baltic states, then crosses the Gulf of Finland on the Tallinn–Helsinki ferry. The ferry runs many times a day, so it adds only a few hours. Winter conditions in the Baltics and Finland from November to March are taken into account in transit times.
