The next EnviSum workshop “Impacts from SECA in Baltic Sea ports – The effects of present and future air emissions from ships” will be held in Gdynia (Poland) on 19th September 2018.

The workshop aims to discuss:

• What are the air emissions from ships calling Baltic Sea ports?
• How are ship-emissions measured, modeled and calculated?
• What are the present and future effects of air emissions in the Baltic Sea?
• How has SECA affected the Tri-City (Gdaosk, Gdynia and Sopot) ?

EnviSum project invites producers and vendors of maritime equipment and services, ship-owners, authorities, researchers and maritime organisations who are interested in emissions from ships to participate on the workshop’s discussions. Participation is free of charge!

Last year, EnviSum project promoted a study trip onboard of the Ro-Ro Cargo ship Primula Seaways, offering a theoretical and practical experience on how scrubbers work.

The study trip, held in 9th of May 2017 in Gothenburg (Sweden), increased knowledge about scrubber technology among the 35 participants and also provided an unique opportunity to connect professionals and experts that are interested in or work within scrubbers accross the Baltic Sea.

Read more of the results  from the new report.

Measurements of the scrubber efficiency were done onboard a RoPax ship. Measurements showed that scrubber reduce effectively the SO2 concentration from the exhaust gas and also concentration of NOx was reduced. CO and hydrocarbon concentrations were reduced by diesel oxidant catalyst located before scrubber.

Measurements were made in co-operation between Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Tampere University of Technology (TUT) and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. (VTT).

The workshop will be held during a HELCOM event – Baltic Sea Day 22-23 March.

The workshop programme: Impacts from ship emissions and possibilities of collaboration in the BSR

EnviSuM workshop will be held on 23^rd March in St. Petersburg.

The goal of the workshop is to present the positive effects of environmental regulations on air quality and human health with special focus on urban areas, and to discuss the possibilities for increasing collaboration within clean shipping around the Baltic Sea.

This Policy Brief gives you an idea what kind of economic effects SECA have on oil refining industry and thereby to regional economy. An Estonian oil shale processing company, Viru Keemia Grupp, is used as an example.

Now the Policy Brief is also available in Russian!

Maritime Development Center organises an event on international sulfur regulation. The requirements on sulfur reductions on the shipping industry will deliver significant reductions in the environmental impact of international shipping. Come and discuss with us of the following burning issues

What will be the challenges for the ship owners in 2020?

Enforcement of the sulphur regulation – jurisdictional limitations and opportunities

• Time: Thursday, September 28, 2017, 12:00 – 16:00

• Premises of Danish Maritime Authority

EnviSuM project made a study visit to Gothenburg to discuss the impacts of SECA regulation. See some of the results from the video!

Pick and choose programme to Lidköping LBG Plant, Port of Gothenburg, DFDS Petunia Seaways and Nya Älvsborg Meassurement station in Gothenburg, Sweden

From  9th to 10th of May,  2017

Two and a half years have passed since the Baltic Sea Region was introduced as a Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA).

It is time to take a closer look at the lessons learned and the experiences gained by shipowners, ports, maritime equipment producers and authorities in the Baltic Sea Region. And what is the business potential that has emerged as a result of the innovations brought on by the SECA regulation?

This study visit takes the form of a “Pick n’ Choose” a programme where you can participate in either;

• A study visit to Lidköping Biogas Plant or a visit to DFDS Petunia Seaways (scrubber vessel) on the 9th of May
• On the 10th of May, you can take part in a panel discussion or a company visit and later on join us for a guided tour around the Port of Gothenburg and a visit to Nya Älvsborg Emission Measurement Station
