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 ...

Risk Management and Remediation of Chemical Accidents (RIMA)

Start date: Dec 31, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Transportation of dangerous goods is cross-national activity, because raw materials and products are imported and exported globally. As Finland and Estonia are located in the edge of EU, the challenges related to Russian transito traffic are similar. High volumes of chemicals are transported, which is creating constant risk. Several EU directives and legislation are used to minimize possible risks ...

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 ...

Applications of ecological knowledge in managing oil spill risk (OILRISK)

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

All EU countries benefit from increased international commerce because trade and consumption generate welfare. The EU solidly supports free trade, and maritime traffic is the most efficient way to transport goods among countries. However, heavy maritime traffic and oil transportation, both rapidly expanding in the Gulf of Finland and in the Baltic Sea, cause a significant environmental risk. Shoul ...
