Finnish police sealed off ports in Helsinki and searched heavy vehicles on board ferries from Estonia on Saturday after receiving a tip-off that a truck loaded with explosives might be on its way to the capital.
Police said their search found nothing suspicious.
Helsinki is on the south coast of Finland 80 km across the Baltic Sea from the former Soviet republic of Estonia.
"We received a tip-off that a truck on a ferry that should be on its way here from Estonia has been loaded with explosives," Helsinki police chief inspector Mika Poyry said earlier.
Finland has stepped up security amid the athletics world championships, which began in Helsinki on Saturday and continues until Aug. 14. About 3,000 athletes and officials from almost 200 countries are taking part in the championships.
