The Pansio-class minelayers[1] are a three-strong class of mine warfare vessels used by the Finnish Navy, built between 1991 and 1992.[2] The vessels can also be used for transport or to supply the naval forts. The vessels can carry a 100-ton load.

The ships are referred to as "mine ferries" in the Finnish Navy.
