Minimizing risks of maritime oil transport by holistic safety strategies (MIMIC)

Start date: Apr 30, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Oil transportation in the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland poses transnational risks to the marine environment. Maritime oil transportation is also vulnerable to security threats, an area of less attention in the Baltic Sea. Traditionally, improvements to maritime safety regulation have realized only after major accidents. Post-accident policies are not very comprehensive and may be biased by the ch ...

Baltic Sea cooperation for reducing ship and port emissions through knowledge and innovation-based competitiveness (BSR InnoShip)

Start date: Jun 9, 2010, End date: Sep 9, 2013,

Maritime transport constitutes a vitally important part of trade and services for the countries around the Baltic Sea and Europe. Baltic shipping is constantly growing and some of the busiest shipping routes in the world go through the Baltic Sea. Consequently, the sensitive environment of the Baltic Sea is threatened by increasing pollution from the shipping industry. Through international agreem ...

An advanced weather radar network for the Baltic Sea Region: BALTRAD+ (BALTRAD+)

Start date: Jun 8, 2011, End date: Sep 7, 2013,

The Nordic tradition of weather radar networking is transnational by its very nature. The main stage project developed this further by creating the world's most advanced international weather radar network. The BALTRAD network is decentralized, preserving the partnership's transnational integrity. In practice this means that each partner exchanges data from its weather radars with other partners o ...

SNOOP - Shipping-induced NOx and SOx emissions – OPerational monitoring network (SNOOP)

Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Based on an existing framework of ship exhaust emission estimation, SNOOP aims to take the strategic evaluation of ship emission effects to a new level by enlargement the scope from nitrogen oxides to SOx, PM, CO, CO2 emissions. The cause-effect chains are studied by monitoring ambient air quality and estimating its human health effects in harbour areas, by modelling the nitrogen input from ship e ...
