Port of Raahe Ltd manages and is responsible for the infrastructure of Lapaluoto Port and Deep-water Port, as well as port operations of Lapaluoto Port.
Regarding the management of environmental issues, the port holds an environmental permit granted by the Regional State Administrative Agency of Northern Finland.

In addition, the port monitors the fulfilment of its own environmental targets: the decrease in the consumption of energy and generation of waste and the improvement of sorting waste.
