The document discusses opportunities for increased collaboration between the Finnish and Norwegian offshore industries. It notes that Norway currently forms the world's largest offshore market and that Finland has technological expertise and experience operating in Arctic conditions that could be valuable. However, restrictive EU and Norwegian measures limit cooperation with Russia, which has even greater untapped offshore potential, especially in the Arctic. The document argues Finnish maritime companies should seek partnerships now to better position themselves for future opportunities as restrictions change or are lifted.

It is only natural that the Finnish offshore industry
turns its eyes to Norway:The Norwegian
continental shelf forms currently the world's
biggest offshore market.
I am convinced that there is room for Finnish know-
how in this market. In many ways our two countries
form a "match made in heaven":
Finland has a lot to offer when it comes to
knowledge needed in the Arctic conditions, our
technological competence, highly educated work
force, and our ability to perform and deliver

Finnish maritime industry is grounded
on strong tradition. Finns are known
globally for skills in shipbuilding and the
production of marine engines, propulsion
systems, specialized integrated solutions
andArctic know-how.These products
and services are provided by a group
of core companies – global players in
their segments.
The Finnish offshore industry comprises of approximately 150
active companies.The total exports of the industry in 2014
amounted to 1.7 billion euros, technology being the most
important of the industry’s segments. If it is needed reliable
partners on shore or offshore, Finland offers a competitive
option. Our companies are known for their high level of
technological knowhow and uncompromising commitment to
safety, the environment and quality
JanVapaavuori
Minister of Economic Affairs
The strengths of the Finnish offshore
companies are high Nordic quality
standards, timely deliveries, the Nordic
network and cost effectiveness.
The offshore industry employs some five
thousand people in Finland, one in four of
the whole marine industry.
The main focus of Finnish marine industry research remains to
be offshore andArctic technologies together with luxury
cruisers. Remote operations and user experience are one of
the emerging fields of the development. Also operations in the
harsh and demanding arctic conditions, and for example the
winterization challenges, remain to be among the main
research topics.
