Abstract
Numerous logistics flow direction and warehousing surveys have been completed in Finland and Sweden during the period of 2010–2015. Surveys have been conducted with the largest companies in these countries (excluding banking, finance and the service sector). In 2015, Estonia’s largest companies were also included in these surveys. Based on these surveys, it could be concluded that the most typical transportation unit in companies is semi-trailer/trailer, followed by container, and other units. Companies did not see much change in the mode of transportation used: the surveys indicate that road transport will dominate in the future, followed by sea transport. Most of the companies indicated that tightening environmental legislation will increase their transportation costs and the survey of 2015 clearly showed that Finnish companies were most hurt by the implementation of strict sulphur regulation.
