Cost of 20ft sealed container to from Finland / UK

> So it took 3 days to get from Scotland to Helsinki, but it involved less than 10 hours driving so not too bad.

Exactly; there you have the problem in a nutshell. The journey is a trade-off between the time it takes and the amount of driving you have to do. Short ferries and long driving takes half the time of long ferries and short driving. Driving is also cheaper than the long ferries, but is more effort. Choose whichever suits you best.

It is small beer in comparison but I am wanting to move a few possessions (I'm guessing 4-6 removal boxes), 2 bikes and single bed to Espoo from Sheffield.

Unless your bikes and bed are particularly valuable, I would sell them there, buy a bed from IKEA when you get here, buy a bikes or two and send the 6 boxes with parcels2go at £30 a box (25Kg allowed in each box).

If the bikes are valuable, you can take 1 per person on most scheduled airlines as "sporting luggage"

Just invest in a carrying bag.
