She remained in this location until 1956 when the new lighthouse was built to replace her. Afterwards, she served as a storage barge for the Finnish Board of Navigation until the 1970s.

During the Second World War, she was used as a supply and transport boat by the Finnish Navy. Later, Fiskars I changed hands several times and was renamed first to Ahti, then Saita and finally Liitto. When she was sold to a private owner and removed from the commercial vessel registry in 1972, Liitto was the last steam-powered tugboat in commercial service in the Vuoksi River. She was given back her old name, Ahti.

With the exception of the 1885-built Helsingkallan, which is today a wreck, Ahti is the oldest vessel built in Hietalahti shipyard that is known to be still in existence.
