As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, there's no known marine port specifically named "Kronvik" in Finland in commonly available port databases. It's worth verifying the name or considering possible alternate spellings or names, as ports often have locally known names or could be smaller, less internationally recognized facilities.

However, Finland has numerous ports that handle a broad range of maritime activities. Here’s how a typical port description for a Finnish marine port might look:
