Kotka Port is followed by Kotka station, located around 800 metres (0.50 mi) to the west. Despite such naming, Kotka Port is somewhat nearer to the actual center of Kotka, also being the initial reason for the station's inception. Furthermore, its location makes it possible for passengers to transfer to and from Baltic Sea ferries.
Kotka Port is the origin of VR commuter rail line O and the southern terminus of the Kotka Line from Kouvola.
