Denmark

Finland

The Finnish industry has pio- neered many products and concepts which have been widely emulated.

Both Kvaerner Masa-Yards and Finnyards are world-class builders, the former specializing in several different areas, including cruise ships and LNG tankers; the latter currently building a presti- gious order of ferries for Stena (see picture, page 34).

Engineering and naval architec- ture firm DeltaMarin helps keep

Finnish — and many other interna- tional shipyards — competitive, proven in part by its involvement with Ingalls Shipbuilding in the

Maritech-funded program to de- velop a cruise ship design.

In the high-profile segment of propulsion equipment, Finland fea- tures a pair of companies which set world stan- dards: ABB In- dustry Oy and

Wartsila Diesel.
