Do you want to join our association?
Join the Finnish Passenger Ship Association!
There are approximately 100 shipping companies operating domestic passenger services in Finland. Of these, 66 companies, including all the largest operators, are members of the Finnish Passenger Ship Association.
Shipping companies operating charter boats and rental vessels are also welcome to apply for membership.
Strong Representation and Industry Advocacy
Our Association plays an established role in legislative processes affecting passenger shipping. We work closely with the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom, other regulatory authorities and relevant stakeholders to promote the interests of our industry.
As an employers' organisation, the Association negotiates the industry's collective labour agreement with employee organisations. This agreement is generally binding across the sector.
Marketing and Visibility
We promote our members through joint marketing activities and our website, www.kesatieonvesitie.fi.
Member companies and their contact details are listed by location, helping travellers, tour operators and event organisers find suitable cruise services throughout Finland.
Valuable Membership Benefits
The Association works to secure financial and operational benefits for its members, including discounts on equipment, fuel and maritime supplies.
Members benefit from special pricing on Viking life rafts and their inspections. Maritim Oy also offers discounts to our members.
One of the most significant financial benefits is the group insurance arrangement through Oy Gard (Baltic) Ab.
For several member shipping companies, the savings achieved through this insurance arrangement exceed the Association's annual membership fee.
Membership Fees for 2026
The annual membership fee is based on the number of vessels owned by the company:
1–3 vessels: EUR 500
4–7 vessels: EUR 1,000
8 or more vessels: EUR 1,500
Meetings, Training and Networking
The Association holds two general meetings each year: the Annual General Meeting in March and an election meeting in November.
We also organise training opportunities, networking activities, recreational events and joint cruises for our members.
The Association operates in both Finnish and Swedish.
