Values and responsibility

Our company is an entrepreneur-driven SME. Our world of values is defined, on the one hand, by the belief in individualism and, on the other, by the belief in the importance of cooperation. Our mission is to form a cell that, when combined with other similar cells into a single organism, takes the development of the whole world forward. As the goal of macro-level development, we see a harmonious world in which every person has equal living conditions and in which harmony reigns between humanity and the rest of nature.

As engineers, we are involved in building the world, and we also acknowledge our responsibility for what the world is built into. We have a duty to make decisions that help preserve our planet as pristine as possible for posterity. In principle, we are guided by traditional Finnish minimalism: growing up in the midst of the scarce resources of a small country, we know how to focus solely on the essentials and do everything on the terms of cost-effectiveness.

We have a long tradition of developing various multipurpose solutions. In terms of cost reduction and carbon footprint reduction, it is usually a much more viable solution to have one ship to do multiple tasks than multiple ships, each of which focuses on doing one task. Designing a good multifunctional vessel is a process that requires great skill; We are honing the know-how we have gained year by year to be sharper. Together with our customers, we have also carried out countless projects in which the life cycles of old ships have been extended and their uses changed – sometimes very open-mindedly, and always successfully – instead of scrapping old ships and building new ones in their place.

We consider respect for nature to be a legacy of Finnishness. The cynical and ruthless exploitation of nature is a very foreign idea to us. The waste of natural resources to enable general exuberance and luxury is, in our view, a fatal short-sightedness that will ultimately lead to irreversible climate change and the collapse of the species spectrum.

Our founding mission statement is based on intellectual and financial independence and independence from the major players in the maritime industry. In concept design work, we are a gathering force, a link through which the technology of many different manufacturers is combined into a single whole; Our customers must be able to trust that we always and in all circumstances offer an unbiased and objective view of the different policy options.

We send a message of strong commitment to society and all our stakeholders. In addition to our legal obligations, we carry many kinds of social responsibility. We are proud of our impact on employment and the foreign trade we have made. Throughout our history, we have had a “youth academy” in our office, where students and newly graduated professionals have gotten a taste of working life by participating in our world-class projects.
