What Alandia does

Alandia Försäkring Abp is a publicly listed Finnish marine insurance company headquartered in Mariehamn, Åland Islands, operating since 1938 under a concession granted and monitored by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA). The company provides hull & machinery, protection and indemnity (P&I), and cargo and carriers' liability insurance to commercial shipping clients across the Nordics and broader Europe, alongside leisure boat insurance for private owners in Sweden and Finland. As of 2024, its Hull & Machinery portfolio covered EUR 31.9 billion in total insured value across an estimated 8,500+ vessels, supported by offices in Mariehamn, Helsinki, Stockholm, and Oslo and an A- credit rating affirmed by S&P Global in November 2025.

The company's product stack is anchored on a core insurance platform augmented by a proprietary Vessel Register used for online vessel search and underwriting reference. Beyond risk transfer, Alandia operates a loss prevention ecosystem comprising the Seably online training platform, the 'Heading for Change' podcast, webinars, an extensive guidelines and checklists library, and specialized programs in mental health (with Blå Mediamentor) and trauma response (with Seaways Psychology Services). Claims handling is delivered by an in-house team with nautical, technical, and legal expertise on a 24/7 emergency basis. The firm is also an active research stakeholder, participating in EU-funded initiatives including the LASH FIRE Consortium (EUR 13.5M, 27 partners) and the ELBAS project on EV battery fires at sea, in collaboration with RISE, IUMI, and Cefor.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual insurance premiums priced on a quote-based, risk-profile-driven model across hull, P&I, cargo, and leisure boat lines. Distribution is conducted via direct underwriting by specialized underwriters organized by geography and product line, complemented by broker and correspondent networks, with self-service regional websites for the consumer boat segment. Alandia is an independent entity with no parent company, and ~120 insurance professionals support operations across the Nordic footprint.
