16.10.2025 | Efima and Helsinki Shipyard are deepening their long-standing partnership with the implementation of a new cloud-based financial management solution. The choice of provider was guided by Efima’s financial expertise and the positive experiences from years of collaboration.

Helsinki Shipyard (DNY Finland Oy) has a 160-year history and is recognized as a pioneer in Arctic shipbuilding. This year, the company has launched the construction of its first heavy icebreaker to be delivered to North America. The modernization of financial management supports the company’s renewal and readiness for growth.

Efima has served as Helsinki Shipyard’s financial system partner for over a decade, helping ensure continuity and development in financial operations through various transitions. In the next phase of the partnership, Efima delivers a comprehensive Unit4 ERPx financial management solution, forming the foundation for the company’s key financial processes.

The Unit4 solution supports the company’s project-based business and the specific financial management requirements of large-scale shipbuilding projects. Integrated into the company’s system environment, the solution provides unified and up-to-date financial data to support decision-making and enables smooth project financial reporting.

“In selecting a partner for our new financial management system, we emphasized expertise and collaboration. Efima has been a reliable partner for a long time, and we value their ability to respond to our needs. This weighed heavily in our decision, and we are now jointly laying the foundation for modern financial management,” says Maija Heikkilä, CFO of Helsinki Shipyard.

“Helsinki Shipyard is one of Efima’s longest-standing system clients. It’s an honor to continue our journey together and support them in their renewal,” says Sanna Kaarlejärvi, Business Director at Efima.
