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. ABB Industry is a leading edge ABB Azipod Danyard is busy with many projects of varying size and type (refer to main story, page 34) and the yard is currently building two SeaJet 250 passenger/car fast fer- ries for the Ebeltoft/Odden service between Jutland and Sjaelland.
