Stella Polaris Investments Oy
Stella Polaris Investments Oy is a private limited company (osakeyhtiö) registered in Finland under business identity code 2999898-6, with its business ID issued on 10 May 2019 and formal registration in the Finnish Trade Register on 15 May 2019. The Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) lists the company’s status as active, with its registered office at Itälahdenkatu 15-17, 00210 Helsinki — the site of the historic Hietalahti shipyard — care of Casa Tilitoimisto-CTY Oy following a July 2024 address update.
From its 2019 registration until 5 December 2023, the company traded under the name Helsinki Shipyard Oy, and PRH’s official name history confirms this rename took effect on that date, alongside an auxiliary trading name, Stella Polaris Investments Ltd. The renaming followed Canadian shipbuilder Davie’s completed purchase, announced 3 November 2023, of the business assets of Helsinki Shipyard Oy — a transaction through which Davie, part of the Inocea Group of Companies, acquired the Hietalahti shipyard’s operations, contracts and icebreaker design portfolio. Davie’s own announcements identify a separate, newly formed entity, DNY Finland Oy, as the company that now operates the Helsinki Shipyard business under that name.
PRH’s registry classifies Stella Polaris Investments Oy’s business line as the building of civilian ships and floating structures (TOL 30110), a classification carried over from its former shipyard-operating identity; no independently verified post-2023 filing describing the entity’s current trading activity was located. Its on-file domain, helsinkishipyard.fi, likewise reflects that earlier identity rather than a confirmed current activity.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Stella Polaris Investments Oy
No public shareholder register is available for Stella Polaris Investments Oy. Finland’s Patent and Registration Office (PRH) does not publish the full share register of a private limited company (osakeyhtiö) for free public inspection; ownership records are held privately by the company and, for beneficial ownership, in PRH’s Beneficial Owner Register, access to which is restricted to parties with a defined legal basis rather than open to general public search. No shareholder-specific filing naming Stella Polaris Investments Oy’s shareholders was located through PRH’s open data service or other primary sources.
Corporate-linkage data associates the company with the Inocea Group / Davie Group corporate family, following Canadian shipbuilder Davie’s completed purchase, announced 3 November 2023, of the business assets previously operated by this company under its former name, Helsinki Shipyard Oy, and the company’s renaming to Stella Polaris Investments Oy on 5 December 2023. This association has not been independently confirmed through an official Finnish shareholder or beneficial-ownership filing.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No verified ultimate beneficial owner is identified for Stella Polaris Investments Oy. No source located met the threshold required to name a beneficial owner or to calculate an effective ownership percentage through a complete ownership chain.
Data availability
Not public: Finland does not make a private limited company’s shareholder register freely available to the public, and the Beneficial Owner Register maintained by PRH is access-restricted.

Officers
1
Directors and officers of Stella Polaris Investments Oy
Available registry data lists one active board member for Stella Polaris Investments Oy: Vladimir Sobolev, appointed Board Member on 5 December 2023, with no resignation date recorded. His correspondence-address country is recorded as Finland; this is a correspondence-address field only, not a statement of nationality or residence, and no source reviewed discloses Mr. Sobolev’s nationality. No former or resigned officers are recorded in the data reviewed. The appointment date coincides exactly with the date PRH’s official records show the company being renamed from Helsinki Shipyard Oy to Stella Polaris Investments Oy, consistent with a change in control following Davie’s completed acquisition of Helsinki Shipyard’s business assets on 3 November 2023.
PRH’s open company-data service does not itself publish officer or board records for free public search; the officer information reviewed here derives from Zavia’s registry sync, attributed by that source to PRH, and could not be independently cross-checked against a complete historical board listing, including the board that served under the company’s former name and ownership. This should be treated as a partial, current-only snapshot rather than a complete officer history.

Data availability
Current only: registry data confirms one active board member as of the information date; a full historical list of former officers, including any who served under the company’s prior name and ownership, was not available through PRH’s free open data service.

Group Structure
Group structure of Stella Polaris Investments Oy
Stella Polaris Investments Oy is the same legal entity that traded as Helsinki Shipyard Oy from its registration on 15 May 2019 until 5 December 2023, when PRH’s official records show it was renamed. That renaming followed Canadian shipbuilder Davie’s completed purchase, announced 3 November 2023, of the business assets of Helsinki Shipyard Oy — the historic Hietalahti shipyard in Helsinki. Davie is part of the privately held Inocea Group of Companies, chaired by Alex Vicefield. Davie’s own announcements identify a separate, newly established Finnish entity, DNY Finland Oy (incorporated 11 April 2023), as the company that now operates the Helsinki Shipyard business and brand — not Stella Polaris Investments Oy.
Corporate-linkage data associates Stella Polaris Investments Oy with Chantier Davie Canada Inc (Canada), itself linked to Groupe Davie Inc, INOCEA LIMITED (United Kingdom) and an entity recorded as Global Marine Industries (United States) further up the chain. The same dataset places the separate entity DNY Finland Oy under a different Davie group company, Davie Nordic Yards Limited (United Kingdom). Because Finland does not require a private limited company to publicly file its parent-company information, this ownership placement has not been independently confirmed through an official Finnish filing; it is corroborated only by the timing coincidence between the 3 November 2023 asset sale, the 5 December 2023 renaming, and the same-day board appointment described in the officers section above.

Data availability
Partial: the corporate rename and the underlying asset sale are confirmed by an official registry record and by the acquirer’s own announcements, but the specific parent-subsidiary ownership link shown above is drawn from corporate-linkage data rather than a Finnish ownership filing, since private Finnish limited companies are not required to publicly disclose their parent company.
