F-Ships out of Finland

[JKC27]

If this is better suited for different section, mods can feel free to move it.

 

I was just curious as us here in the Great Lakes have seen ships from all over the world trade here, and I know like everywhere companies come and go, loads/contracts as well.  What I am curious to know, and maybe some of our Scandinavian users might be able to shed some light on is the smaller cargo ships from Finland that used to trade here back in the late 1980s/early 1990's.  I have attached a pic or 2 for reference....

 

What ever happens to F-Ships?  They were regular traders here, and I would see them quite often back in the 80s/90s.  Did the company fold?  Did they get out of the international trade business?

Finnarctis was sailing under the name Alouette Arrow as of 2019.

Finnlines still exist, but were bought by Grimaldi almost 20 years ago. Probably they let Finnlines take care of Europe while other daughter companies focus on the Canada/US. They are quite active in the Baltic and launches new vessels from time to time.
