Development trends

• Maritime Traffic is increasing in the Baltic Sea,
• Oil Transportations will grow significantly
  especially in the Gulf of Finland area,
• New Risk Control Options are scheduled in the
  near future,
• Recent statistics shows increased risks for
  collisions and groundings in the Baltic Sea
  (Helcom statistics)
• Winter Navigation may encounter problems in
  severe winters.

4
Development Trends

• Baltic Sea maritime transport rates are growing
• Already 50 of all foreign trade goes by sea
• Maritime transport rates will be growing by 64
  from 2003 to 2020 (Baltic Maritime Outlook 2006)
• At the same period trade outside of the Baltic
  Sea will grow significantly (68) and internal
  transportation by 83 .

Maritime Safety Issues

• External Safety ( fairways, ports, other ships),
• Internal Safety (hull, stability, fire
  protection),
• Human Impact,
• Risks to the Environment

10
Maritime risks can be divided into safety and
security related aspects

• Antiterrorism
• Management of the international supply chain
• Containerization
• Cargo tracking
• Identification Sensor development, for example
  cameras, underwater sensors, satellites,
• Monitoring - View over the certain maritime
  area VTS, AIS, eNavigation -
• SAR
• Environmental Protection
• Smart AtoNs Technical Development

EMSAs Consern (W. de Ruiter)

• Baltic Sea as a whole
• English Channel
• Spanish Coastline
• Turkish Strait
• A systematic Risk Approach is required with FSA
  in order to understand optimal RCOs

13
What are the questions to be answered ?

• How the new risk control options should be used
  to offer the best protection for the maritime
  community ?

14
What are the questions to be answered ?

• How the countries should select preventive
  measures having the different environmental
  areas, priorities and investment policies ?

15
What are the questions to be answered ?

• How we can promote the decision makers and
  politicians to direct the investments to get the
  best, most economical and generally understood
  protection of the Baltic Sea area in the future ?

16

• A systematic FSA risk evaluation is required to
  understand the optimum RCOs for various national
  sea areas and international waters (of EU)
• The Approach should contain both safety and
  security related aspects
• Among with the new RCOs (e.g.VTS AIS ECDIS)
  essential failure modes must be understood such
  as
• Human aspect,
• Electronic failures and
• Winter Navigation.
