17.6 Discover the legacy of Shipbroking in Finland together with OOCL
Navigation and trade have always been interconnected. During the age of sailing ships, the shipowner also served as the shipmaster, managing cargo, navigation, and trade at ports. The introduction of steam power in the 1800s revolutionized this process, leading to the establishment of agents who handled port routines and trading tasks, evolving into today's shipbrokers.
Shipbrokers in Finland
In Finland, organized shipbroking activities began in the 1700s. By 1720, all towns were required to have official shipbrokers to handle contracts and receive brokerage fees. In 1748, it was mandated that only licensed shipbrokers could practice clearance, with licenses granted by the magistrate. The Finnish Shipbrokers Association, founded in 1920, has been a cornerstone of the industry.
Join Youngship Helsinki on June 17th at 17.00 for a visit to Shipbrokers Finland (Köydenpunojankatu 8) together with OOCL.
The agenda includes:
- A presentation by OOCL
- A presentation by Shipbrokers Finland
- After-work socializing
Due to limited space, only 12 people can join. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the history and practice of shipbroking in Finland.

14 December: The Icy Spectacle
Winter has returned to Helsinki, and YoungShip Helsinki invites you to join us in celebrating the upcoming holiday season!
On December 14th, we extend an invitation for you to explore the winter sport of curling with us. Afterward we will go for a bite at Capperi!
What is curling? It's a sport where players slide stones on the ice toward a target segmented into four concentric circles. Similar to bowls, boules, and shuffleboard, two teams of four players each take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones (rocks) toward the house, a circular target on the ice. Each team has eight stones, and the goal is to score points by having stones closest to the center of the house at the end of each round. Games typically consist of eight or ten ends, with each player throwing two stones. Seize the opportunity to join the 1.5 million players worldwide!
The event kicks off at 17:00, and following the curling session, we'll gather at restaurant Capperi for a nice meal.
