The Maritime Association has also organised large ship model exhibitions. The exhibition held in the Jugendsal in Helsinki in 2002 was visited by over 23,500 people. The most recent exhibition presenting the importance of ro-ro vessels in Finnish shipping at the SeaTec 10 trade fair at the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre in April 2010 was a great success.
The Finnish Maritime Association has also organized maritime writing competitions, such as the one held in 2007 under the title “The Sea and Us.”
