The [Finnish Shipowners’ Association](https://shipowners.fi/) has elected its new Board composition including the Chairman of the Board. Mikki Koskinen, Managing Director of our parent company [ESL Shipping Ltd](https://www.eslshipping.com), was elected the new Chairman of the Board. While the Board members and vice members were elected for a one-year term, the Chairman of the Board was elected for a two-year term.

Koskinen has previously served as the Vice Chairman of the Board and has also represented Finland on the Board of the [International Chamber of Shipping](https://www.ics-shipping.org/), the international umbrella organization for shipping companies.

“This year has been exceptionally challenging for the shipping industry due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the next two years, the competitiveness of Finnish shipping companies and the overall vitality of the sector must be strengthened.

> The priorities for the forthcoming term include, in particular, sustainability and the development towards increasingly low-emission shipping,” Koskinen.

"In terms of regulation, it also means that Finland's special conditions, such as winter shipping, should always be taken into account," Koskinen continues.
