Maritime safety - Transport and Environment in the Baltic Sea Region (Baltic Master II)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Jan 23, 2012,

The Baltic Sea’s unique ecology is under a lot of pressure. Fishing, maritime pollution from ships and substantial additions of nutrition from e.g. sewage and farming all pose a threat to the inland sea where the water is estimated to take 30 years to renew. At all times there are some 2000 ships in movement, and each year we see 120-140 collisions and groundings in the Baltic Sea – both traffic a ...
