AFFILIATED COMPANY:
The founder of Meriankkuri Oy is Markku Kankaala, a multi-industry entrepreneur from Ii in northern Finland. Markku has always had a strong interest in boats and boating. He has been at sea since childhood in Raahe and has owned boats throughout his adult life. Over time, his boating hobby gradually expanded, and he acquired a variety of vessels for different purposes. The company’s actual shipping operations began in 2018, when the first motor yacht, Sunseeker Manhattan 60, was acquired. Since then, the fleet has changed several times and grown in size. The companies Meriankkuri Oy (formerly RukaTop Oy) and Toppilan Möljä Oy were all established around boating activities.
