Manage insurance matters and make use of your shipping company’s reports in Ankkuri
In Ankkuri, employers submit monthly vessel-specific breakdowns of insurance contributions and print the payment details.
Users with HR and Management profiles can also access personnel and industry reports to support decision-making and work ability management.
Employers report employees’ salary and tax withholding information directly to the Finnish Tax Administration’s Incomes Register. The Seafarers' Pension Fund receives salary information through the Incomes Register, so there is no need to report it separately in Ankkuri.
