TheFinnish maritime cluster is acluster ofFinnish companies inmaritime industries. In 2016 the total turnover was estimated at 13 billioneuros and it employed 48,000 people.[1]
Small trading ships similar toJacobstads Wapen were built in Finnish coastal towns in the 18th century. Small-scale shipyards continued to exist well into the 20th century. The first large scaleshipyard was thegalleydry dock atSveaborg built in the mid-18th century, which serviced the ships that won one of thelargest sea battles in Finnish history.
The first industrial scale shipyard in Turku was established in 1732. After theCrimean War,William Crichton acquired a workshop and built a new shipyard, which later absorbed smaller shipyards and developed intoCrichton-Vulcan and merged withWärtsilä between 1936 and 1938. Germany outsourced a notable amount ofsubmarine construction to Finland afterWorld War I. This section of industry was later outlawed by theParis Peace Treaty, but it became an important foundation for the Finnish maritime industry.[2]
A major boost to Finnishshipbuilding was thewar reparations paid to theSoviet Union afterWorld War II. They forced a rapidindustrialization of Finland and the creation of a largemetal industry in addition to the traditionalpapermaking andforest industries.[3] By 1953, the shipbuilding industry had six times the capacity it did in 1944.[4]
Bilateral trade with the Soviet Union forced Finnish shipyards to build ships with a high percentage of total value of Finnish origin.[citation needed] All major components of the finished products needed to be produced domestically. The high percentage of domestic components continues even after thedissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the lucrativetrade deals. While ships built in other European shipyards are a collection of components from aroundEurope and around the world, ships built in Finland can have up to 90% of their total value in Finnish components and labor (kotimaisuusaste).[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
