This measure aims to address the national shipyard’s liquidity challenges, which worsened due to the existing geopolitical crisis and related cost increases.
Provided in the form of a hybrid equity loan, the measure will help strengthen the solvency of Meyer Turku and its smooth operations.

This funding aligns with the principles set out in the Temporary Crisis Framework adopted by the EC in March this year, and amended in July and October.
