Finland is dependent on sea traffic, its fluency and competitiveness. Almost 90 percent of exports and imports to Finland are transported by sea.
Seafaring builds value chains that create the basis for the growth of industry, tourism and other forms of trade. The Finnish shipowners are forerunners of technology and environmental innovations and are actively participating in developing solutions for sustainable shipping.
