After many years of fighting for the Swedishtonnage tax, segments of the shipping industry aresetting another course westward – and unfortunatelythis is spreading some pessimism about the future.

Representatives of the Donsö fleet are among themost authentic seafarers in the Swedish merchantnavy, and now they are deserting the Swedish flag.Some examples are the Tärntank shipping company,which has moved to Skagen, and Sirius Shipping,to Læsø. Both companies now have their vesselsflying the Danish flag.

What could have stopped this? Sadly, not the leadingpoliticians and officials in the Ministry of Finance,which has doggedly pursued its line in directopposition to all the other EU flag states'introduction of the tonnage tax system. This meansthat competitive neutrality in shipping does notapply to Sweden in the context of the EU.

Is little Sweden so special that we can afford to"swim against the stream"? Time will tell: but thesituation does not strengthen Sweden's maritimevoice in the EU, nor Swedish shipping in general,and we can only, with resignation, congratulateDenmark for this nice gain in tonnage which thisflagging out has generated to date.

Swedish Marine Day was recently held at theGothenburg Exhibition Centre. It was especiallygratifying that six maritime associations andcompanies together could, strangely enough, makethe occasion a success focusing on three themes:fuels of the future, technology of the future andsustainable shipping of the future. For the past tenyears or so, Marine Day been organized by theSwedish Centre for Maintenance Management andSwedocean.

Swedish Marine Day was a success, withapproximately 230 participants and a score ofexhibitors. Introductory speaker Robert Akerlund,technical director of Stena Line, told us about thecompany's ferry redeployment whereby in theautumn Gothenburg-Kiel would be served by theworld's two biggest car-, passenger- and trailerferries instead of the current four units of whichtwo a day have to date gone to and fromTravemund. The old German ferries will be divertedto Karlskrona-Swinoujscie, boosting capacity onthat route. New tonnage will be assigned to theEnglish Channel. Read more at www.marindagen.se

Swedish Marine Day gave us an appetite for thefuture, so that with the industry's backing we nowlook forward to making this an annual event!

In last year's edition of Swedish Shipping I wrotethat Swedish marine subcontractors have a great

capacity for survival, and the expectation was thatthe majority could overcome the economicdownturn by technological adaptation andenvironmental initiatives. I sense a positiveconfirmation when I meet my contacts at SwedishMaritime Day and elsewhere.

The future is not black as night, but rather cautiouslyoptimistic, given that any turn in the worldeconomy is generally slow to have an impact onthe shipping industry and its suppliers.

Chapter 1

Survive and prosper!

Towards the end of January 2010, a gaggle ofscientists descended on Malmö, Sweden's thirdlargest city, for a week-long council of war againstwhat they described as "alien species".

With others representing technology companies,the maritime industry, academia, national govern-ments and international and regional agencies fromaround the world – more than 300 in all – the

experts were preoccupied not with preparations foran invasion of creatures from outer space, but withthe estimated 10 billion tonnes of ballast water,often containing marine animal and plant species,carried around the globe each year in ships.

As a result, a serious environmental threat hasdeveloped, caused by the introduction of aquaticorganisms unintentionally imported and releasedinto ecosystems where they do not belong. It isestimated that more than 7000 such "alien" speciesare transferred daily. As well as the environmentalharm, the economic damage caused by this processis immense.

The first Global Research and Development Forumon Emerging Ballast Water Management Systems

covered topics ranging from various ballast watertreatment and management options and innovativetechnologies for treating ballast water on ships,to related issues such as shore reception facilities,sediment management, and the regulatory, technicaland environmental challenges facing the ballastwater technology manufacturers and the shippingindustry.

It was no accident that Malmö had been chosen asthe venue for this event: the city, is after all, hometo WMU, the World Maritime University ("truly anorganization by and for the international maritimecommunity"), which operates under the auspicesof the International Maritime Organization (IMO)of the United Nations.

Malmö, in this context, is emblematic of the statusof Swedish shipping as a successful and prosperousindustry that is one of the most environment-friendly in the world, often adduced as an exampleof best practice, and notable for its advancedtechnology, benign working conditions, and highstandards of security and safety.

It all adds up....

10

According to the World Trade Organization,international trade fell 12.2 per cent in volume and23 per cent in value in 2009, the biggest annualdecline since World War II. For 2010, the WTOexpects growth of 9.5 per cent; but even if thisforecast is accurate, the highs of 2008 will not bereached as most of the growth will be driven byless-developed countries that have not leveragedthemselves out of the recession.

So clearly, the financial and economic crises of thepast several years have not exactly meant fairwinds for shipping, Swedish or otherwise. But

Sweden's shipping industry will survive and prosper,as it always has, in large part through itsinnovative tradition: the family-owned WalleniusLines, to name just one celebrated example,pioneered RoRo technology with the short seavessel Aniara in the 1960s.

Sweden is a fairly small shipping nation comparedwith its Nordic neighbours, ranking around number34 in the world, as against Norway at number 15and Denmark at 29. According to Gothenberg'sLighthouse maritime competence and researchcentre, as of January 2010 the Swedish-controlledmerchant fleet comprised 618 ships over 300 GT,of which 242 (around 39 per cent) flew the Swedishflag and 376 flew foreign flags.

Discounting vessels classified as "miscellaneous",there were 569 vessels in this fleet, 210 flyingthe Swedish flag and 359 foreign flags: largely,in descending order, Bermuda, NIS (Norwegian),UK and Denmark. The fleet's collective deadweightwas 9.2 million tons, gross tonnage (GT) up to9.9 million tons, and net tonnage (NT) 4.1 milliontons.

Crews total around 12,000, of which perhaps a fifthare women, and 9400 are Swedish citizens. Theaverage age is 43.

Overall, the sector has grown steadily since theearly nineties. The Swedish Shipowners' Association(Sveriges Redareförening) estimates that domesticshipping has risen by 40 per cent since 2004, andturnover in Swedish ports by almost half since1990. A cluster analysis by the University ofJönköping a few years ago found that the averageSwedish seafarer contributes SEK 700,000 to thenation's GDP, while the shipping cluster as a wholegenerates SEK 104 billion.

Companies, ports and cargoesAlthough the shipping industry has generallyenjoyed record markets and freight rates in recentyears, freight costs for consumer goods havehistorically been low, while improvements in tech-

nology and efficiency have helped ensure maritimetransport costs remain very competitive. Shippingis by far the most cost efficient transport inSweden; interestingly, while rail and road transportbenefit from governmental funding, the shippingindustry is self-sufficient.

In this regard, a significant project involvingreconstruction of Gothenburg port nearedcompletion in 2010 with the formation of a newport authority and three operating companies: theaim was to increase profitability. Port chairmanSven Hulterström said the restructuring had gonewell and interest in running the three businessunits was encouraging. The next step, althoughthere was no set deadline, was to secure thetransfer of operations as quickly as possible. Theexternal operators will purchase the right to usethe quays and terminals at the port, while the newport authority will continue to own the land andthe infrastructure.

Sweden's major deep sea shipping companiesinclude Wallenius Lines, Broström and Stena Line.Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines and EUKOR areexamples of international co-ownership, bySwedish Wallenius Lines and Norwegian WilhelmsenLines. The purchase by Danish A.P. Møller- MaerskA/S of Broström in 2009 created the world’s leadingproduct tanker company with more than 220operating vessels.

However, the typical Swedish shipping company isfairly small, sometimes family-owned, with amodest fleet operating in the Nordic/Baltic region.There are about 140 such companies, engaged bothin passenger traffic and cargo transport.

Gothenburg, Sweden’s second biggest city and thelargest port, is also the most specialized, with itsconcentration of shipping brokers, followed byStockholm and Helsingborg. The Jönköping analysisreckoned that about 220,000 persons wereemployed in the shipping cluster – 50,000 morethan in 1997 – of whom 13,000 were seafarers oroffice staff, while 5000 worked at Swedish ports.

Many of the cargoes entering Sweden have beenreloaded from ocean-going to short sea vessels atthe hub ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp or Hamburg.More than 90 per cent of all imports and exportstravel to and from Sweden by sea. In 2008, accordingto the Swedish Shipowners’ Association, seaborne

cargo totalled a record 178 million tonnes, of whichdomestic freight accounted for 12 million tonnes;126 million tonnes were carried in cargo vesselsand 40 million tonnes in passenger ships or ferries.Turnover in the five largest ports (out of about50) – Gothenburg, Brofjorden, Trelleborg, Malmöand Luleå – accounted for half the total.

Heavy loadsOil is the most important cargo by weight, withimports running at 21 million tonnes of crude and15 million tonnes of oil products in recent years.Pulp and paper and other forestry-related industriesare big in Sweden, and here the need for heavytransport is considerable: approximately fourmillion tonnes of paper, two million tons of paperpulp and perhaps six million tonnes of forestproducts are exported (and similar quantitiesimported) by sea every year. In addition, fourmillion tonnes of iron ore and two million tonnesof steel are exported by sea annually, with anothertwo million tonnes of iron ore transported by seabetween domestic ports.

About 30 million passengers travel by ferry everyyear by about 40 different routes covering thelength of Sweden, e.g. from the northern city ofUmeå to Vasa in Finland, and from the southern portof Helsingborg to Helsingör, Denmark. Domesticpassenger traffic is no less important, with 1.5million or more passengers sailing to and fromGotland in a typical year. The port of Stockholm isa major regional hub for ferries to Finland and theBaltic states.

History in the making

Shipping has always been a fundamental means oftransport in Sweden, a country with a long coast-line, criss-crossed by innumerable lakes and rivers.

The Vikings, whose heyday spanned the eighth toeleventh centuries AD, were of course seafarers,warriors, tradesmen... and splendid ship builders.Their longships averaged 6-8 knots with a topspeed of 14 knots, while their slower deep seamerchant vessels were built wider for storage. Asthe shipbuilding industry evolved, a smaller shipusing sails and fewer oars, the knarr, was developedfor trading.

From the 12th to 17th centuries, the HanseaticLeague of German merchants established a trademonopoly in the Baltic and North Sea region.

Important Hanse ports in Sweden included Visby,Stockholm, and Kalmar; Skanör, Falsterbo, Malmö,Helsingborg, and Lödöse also thrived during thisperiod.

In 1252 the Swedish king Birger Jarl allowed theHanse to settle in the Swedish capital of Stockholmprovided they observed Swedish laws; in othercities, such as Kalmar, German traders were part ofthe city council. The Hanse helped to controlhijacking and piracy while standardizing maritimeand mercantile legislation.

The most important vessel during the Hanse erawas the cog, a hefty freight-carrying ship, generallybuilt of oak and fitted with a single mast and asquare-rigged single sail.

Sweden at warDuring the Middle Ages– in particular, from 1000AD, when Christianity wasintroduced to Sweden,to 1520, when GustavVasa was elected regent– universal conscriptionapplied when Sweden wasat war. Warships built forheavy artillery put in anappearance from the early16th century. Battle wouldcommence with cannon fireat close quarters, followedby boarding. By the 17thcentury, tactics had changed:two columns of warshipswould fire broadside at eachother in a "line of battle";the heavy-duty vesselinvolved, known as the "ship-of-the-line", saw action wellinto the 19th century.

By the 17th century Swedenhad become an importantmilitary power in northernEurope. As the most sought-after wood for building war-ships was oak, King Gustav IIAdolf ordered a number of oakplantations, the descendants ofwhich are still in evidence inthe south of the country.

Many great warships were built during the 17thcentury. In 1625, when Sweden was at war withPoland, King Gustav II Adolf ordered, among others,the Vasa, built in Stockholm in 1628 by anexperienced Dutch shipbuilder – which sank duringher maiden voyage. Vasa was powerful, with 64cannons on two rows of decks. She capsized justafter the sails had been set, sinking rapidly becausethe cannon ports were open. Up to a third of the150 people on board went down with the ship.Such tragedies were not uncommon during thisperiod, when ships were designed to fixed

proportions. Those used for Vasa made hertop-heavy, with her massive cannons positionedtoo high in the ship, and insufficiently ballasted.Salvaged in 1961, Vasa is arguably the world's bestpreserved 17th century ship, with her own museumin Stockholm.

The mighty windjammerThe legendary windjammer, the grandest of merchantsailing ships, was a 3-5 masted cargo ship with aniron or steel hull. Long past its heyday in the latenineteenth and early twentieth century, and

Vasa: well-preserved

notwithstanding the introduction of the steamship,windjammers continued to be used as trade shipsby conservative shipowners.

A great many Swedish seafarers found work onboard the windjammers harboured at the Swedish-speaking Finnish archipelago of Åland, where fromaround 1850, the great ships transported fish andwood to the mainland, eventually sailing as far asAustralia for cargoes of wheat. Windjammerscontinued in ocean-going traffic until 1949, whenthe shipowner Gustaf Eriksson decided to lay up his

windjammers Pamir and Passat. Today another ofhis fleet, Pommern, built in 1903, is a museum shipmoored next to the Åland maritime museum in thewestern harbour in the capital, Mariehamn.

The age of steamThe first Swedish steamship, Amphitrite, was const-ructed by the British engineer, inventor andindustrialist Samuel Owen in 1818, a good tenyears after the launch of the first commercialsteamboat in the United States. Like its predecessor,Amphitrite was driven by a large paddle wheel. By

1825, Owen had built five steamships operatingout of Stockholm. These were mainly passengerships on regular routes to nearby cities. Many ofthe steamships built in Sweden in 19th century arestill operating regular schedules.

Although propellers had been developed as earlyas 1810, they were inefficient and seldom used. Itwas a Swedish-born (in the county of Värmland,1805) American engineer and inventor, JohnEricsson, who first introduced the use of the screwpropeller: it was mounted on the schooner RobertF. Stockton, which became the first propeller-drivenship in use in the U.S. In 1843, the propeller-driven SS Princeton won a speed competitionagainst the steamer SS Great Western, which haduntil then been regarded the fastest steamer.This victory was the breakthrough for the newtechnology.

Ericsson was also responsible for the armouredvessel Monitor, which famously sank the Merrimackat the American Civil War Battle of Hampton Roads,

Virginia, in 1862 – an epic moment in navalhistory.

Dynasty!The Axel Johnson Group is a diversified Swedishfourth-generation family-owned company, nowworth several billions of dollars, which traces itsorigins to the trading company A. Johnson & Co,founded in 1873. Axel Johnson bought his firststeamship in 1885, fuelling it with imported coalfrom Hull. He subsequently founded the shippingcompany Rederi AB Nordstiernan (also known asJohnson Line), commissioned a series of largesteamships and, in 1904, started Sweden's first-ever regular service to South America.

After Axel Johnson's death in 1910 his son AxelAx:son Johnson took over the business. Two yearslater he ordered a pair of diesel-engine ships. Notonly were the new ships faster than both thesteamship and the windjammers; because theengines demanded less space, there was more roomfor the cargo – a huge competitive advantage. It

We can thank a Swedish-American engineer forthis....

would be some years before any Swedish shippingcompany emulated Johnson; in the meantime, theworld was his oyster.

When the Panama Canal opened in 1914 Nord-stiernan expanded the routes to the South- andNorth American west coasts: the Pacific Line. After1918 and the end of First World War, Nordstiernansold all their steam ships and ordered motor shipswith refrigeration for cargo and increased space forpassengers. The shipping company continued toexpand between the wars and after the SecondWorld War. When Axel Ax:son Johnson died in 1958the company had 40 ships, 35 of them on specificroutes. In 1968 the shipping company started withcontainer traffic, and two years later expanded withthe purchase of a passenger company, Rederi ABSvea.

However, a decade later the company started tophase out its shipping interests; the remainingshipping business, Laser Lines, co-owned with aFinnish company, was sold at the beginning of the1990s to Süd-Amerika Line in Hamburg.

RoRo, LoLo and other storiesAt the beginning of the Fifties, Wallenius Lines,founded in 1934, was an early entrant in thevehicle transport stakes. Volumes increased rapidly,

but it was hard work: cars were transported inwooden boxes, each of which had to be hoisted onboard and off again at the destination. As LoLo(Lift on-Lift off) was time-consuming and notterribly profitable for wheeled cargoes, thecompany decided to develop a new type of vessel.The result, christened Aniara, was launched in1963.

As Wallenius tells it in its year-by-year corporatehistory...

"1963: RoRo: a Wallenius idea: Wallenius Lines'newly developed cargo handling system changesthe face of car carrying. The vehicles are loaded onto the vessels via stern or bow ramps instead ofwith cranes. The RoRo system (Roll-on-Roll-off) isborn. Cargo handling becomes both quicker andsafer.

"MS Aniara is the company's, and the world's, firstRoRo vessel. The technology is still in its infancyand the first vessels are small and designed forshort-sea shipping. MS Aniara has the capacity tocarry 240 cars."

And later that year..."Transoceanic car capacityincreases: MS Carmen and MS Medea are delivered,and with their 1950 car capacity are the first in a

series of large car carriers. The new RoRo techniqueis still only used for local shipping. These new ves-sels are to operate on transoceanic routes and arecombined car/bulk carriers. When carrying cars, cardecks are mounted into the hold and are dis-mantled again for bulk cargoes. The technique islabour intensive and Wallenius becomes, apart fromthe local stevedore companies, the largestemployer in many international ports."

In 1999, Wallenius merged with Norway'sWilhelmsen Lines, forming a joint commercial andoperating company named Wallenius Wilhelmsen.With scores of RoRo vessels between them, themerger made the new company the largest of itskind in the world.

The Wallenius and Nordstiernan sagas arefine examples – if any more were needed – of theinnovative drive that characterizes Sweden's shippingindustry.

Eastern approachesThe importance of the Swedish mercantile traditionin the development of the shipping industry mustnot be underestimated. A prime mover in thisrespect was the Swedish East India Company(Svenska Ostindiska kompaniet), founded inGothenburg in 1731. Following the trail blazed bythe Dutch and the British East India Companies,the venture grew to become the largest tradingentity in Sweden during the 18th century,mounting 132 expeditions – mostly to China –before winding up in 1813.

Early in 1783, a 35-year-old Gothenburger namedWilliam Chalmers set off for China as representativeof the company in Canton, where a number ofEuropean trading stations had been establishednear the anchorage of Wampoa. Almost 30 yearslater, having made his fortune and returned toGothenburg, Chalmers left part of his estate tofound an "industrial school for poor children, whohave learned to read and write": the precursor toChalmers University of Technology, one of Sweden'smost distinguished academic institutions.

During this period the Swedes exported iron andwood products to Cadiz, where they bought silverto sell in China. Imports, auctioned in Gothenburg,included porcelain, tea, silk and other textiles,furniture and mother-of-pearl. The popularity of

some items, such as paper flowers, provokedcriticism that the company was exporting valuablegoods only to import rubbish.

Deep southAround the turn of the last century, Otto Norden-skjöld, a geologist, geographer, and polar explorer,mounted a number of sensational expeditions, mostnotably to Antarctica. When one of his ships, arebuilt whale catcher suitably named "Antarctic",sank under dramatic circumstances, Nordenskjöldand his colleagues were rescued after some monthsby an Argentine Navy corvette. Another of hisships, the Uruguay, is on show in the port of LaBoca, the old seamen's quarter of Buenos Aires.

Chains, clusters and superferries

21

An efficient transportchain is crucial....

According to the Swedish Maritime Technical Forum(Svenskt Marintekniskt Forum), a professionalassociation, world trade will at least double overthe next decade, economic crises notwithstanding.As Sweden is situated on the outskirts of theEuropean Union, logistics – creating and maintain-ing an efficient transport chain – is crucial;and here, naturally, the shipping industry is ofgreat importance.

The shipping companies' vessels can be seen aslinks in the chain, which includes deep sea vessels,feeder vessels and land transport. As full-serviceoperators, large shipping companies such as Trans-atlantic and Wallenius are constantly engaged indeveloping system solutions for controlling theentire chain. In recent years, cargo handling andtracking systems have enabled the client to see theposition of the cargo in the chain at any givenmoment while keeping an eye on forwarding andstorage.

Wallenius even has its own inland logistics divisionoffering "global factory-to-dealer integrated logis-tics solutions". Once the customer has specified thefinal destination of the cargo, Wallenius takes over,a service it describes as "supply chain management"guaranteeing "visibility at all times" through a"state-of-the-art supply chain management systemenabling us to manage complex supply chainsthrough a single, integrated network".

In more detail, this involves :• process management – planning, execution, andmonitoring of operational activities and events,including network optimization, from factory todealer,• visibility and reporting – management of theorder information to report unit status andlocation, measure process and supplier efficiency,and control activity and event exceptions.• supplier management, and planning, coordination,and monitoring of suppliers and vendors responsiblefor processes from factory to dealer.

Sweden's shipping industry falls more or lessnaturally into geographical areas, regional centresof industry often described as "clusters": in thiscase, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö. Themaritime sector as a whole is sometimes discussedin terms of a national "maritime cluster", anexpression describing the entire "community" ofrelated activities associated with the shippingindustry. Sweden's maritime cluster is thought tocontribute well over SEK 100 billion to thecountry’s GDP.

By far the largest regional maritime cluster inSweden centres on Gothenburg, boasting the headoffices of several shipping companies with world-wide operations, and the largest port in the Nordiccountries, which also serves as a vital Nordic hub.The Gothenburg region also comprises a number ofsmaller cluster areas such as Lidköping (Vänern),Uddevalla/Lysekil, Tjörn, Donsö and Strömstad.According to the Maritime Technical Forum, theGothenburg cluster comprises about 700companies: some 100,000 people in this regionowe their employment directly or indirectly to themaritime sector.

Gothenburg is, of course, home to the ChalmersUniversity of Technology, which also hosts Light-house: in its own words, "a unique multi-disciplinary maritime competence and researchcentre initiated by Chalmers, the School of Business,Economics and Law at Gothenburg University and

The Swedish Shipowners' Association". Lighthouseaims "to make shipping more efficient, safer andmore environmentally friendly as well as to ensurethat Swedish shipping continues to be stronglycompetitive"; its work focuses on ship const-ruction, maritime safety and hydrodynamics,together with logistics, maritime law and businessanalysis, world trade and other financial areas.Lighthouse also has a role as "a knowledge bridgebetween research, education and active shipping...in close cooperation with the shipping industry".

Kalmar Maritime Academy (now part of LinnaeusUniversity, a new institution created in January2010) is a well-established maritime training centreon Sweden’s east coast, known for its range ofengine room simulators.

In southern Sweden, Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP)– a joint Swedish-Danish venture – is at the heartof the Öresund area, representing another majorcluster in the shipping industry.

With four dedicated car terminals, the company isproud of its status as a hub for the import of newcars in the Baltic sea region. In addition, new,ultra-modern goods and ferry terminals are underconstruction at the Norra Hamnen harbour inMalmö, while the City of Malmö is also establishinga logistics centre for industries dependent on trans-port in this part of the harbour.

These projects involve an area the size of 300football pitches, making Norra Hamnen one of thebiggest-ever infrastructure projects in the region.With the construction of docks, terminals, roadsand tracks to allow ferry, train and lorry freight tobe handled in the same place, CMP will be able tohandle five times as much freight as it does now– and the environmental impact of the ports willbe reduced, as ferries and lorry traffic will be movedfurther away from the city centre of Malmö.

Motorways of the seaIn its Transport White Paper of September 2001,the European Commission proposed a "motorwaysof the sea" project as a "real competitive alternativeto land transport".

Aimed at encouraging combined road and railtransport in the EU, the proposal is to introduce"new intermodal maritime-based logistics chains inEurope, which should bring about a structuralchange in our transport organisation within thenext years to come".

Such chains will be more sustainable, and shouldbe commercially more efficient, than road-onlytransport. Motorways of the sea will thus improveaccess to markets throughout Europe, and bringrelief to over-stretched European road systems. Forthis purpose, fuller use will have to be made notonly of maritime transport resources, but also of

Europe's potential in rail and inland waterways, aspart of an integrated transport chain. This, the EUsays, is "the Community added-value" of theproject.

The main objectives for the sea motorways projectsare freight flow concentration on sea-based logisticalroutes, increased cohesion, and reduced roadcongestion through modal shift.

Four "corridors", two of which are of particularimportance to Sweden, have been designated for"projects of European interest":

• Motorway of the Baltic Sea (linking the Baltic SeaMember States with Member States in Central andWestern Europe, including the route through theNorth Sea/Baltic Sea canal) (by 2010);• Motorway of the Sea of western Europe (leadingfrom Portugal and Spain via the Atlantic Arc to theNorth Sea and the Irish Sea) (by 2010);• Motorway of the Sea of south-east Europe(connecting the Adriatic Sea to the Ionian Sea andthe Eastern Mediterranean, including Cyprus) (by2010);• Motorway of the Sea of south-west Europe(western Mediterranean, connecting Spain, France,Italy and including Malta and linking with theMotorway of the Sea of south-east Europe andincluding links to the Black Sea) (by 2010).

These corridors provide one essential part of theprojects: the "floating infrastructures" of theEuropean seas. However, it is up to industry,Member States and the Community to implementfinancially and operationally sound projects to usethese maritime resources better for new intermodalmaritime-based transport systems.

Although the original deadline for the project was2010, work is still in progress. The Swedishauthorities and the Swedish shipping industry haveof course been enthusiastic participants.

Water, water, everywhere...With its long coastline, Sweden has naturallydeveloped a vast network of ferry services. Everyyear about 15 million people travel by ferrybetween towns or to and from islands in the Stock-holm archipelago: one company alone – WaxholmsÅngfartygs AB, known affectionately as "Waxholms-bolaget" – accounts for 1.8 million passengers.

Waxholmsbolaget, which has operated since 1869,is publicly owned. It is well known to tourists, forwhom an excursion in the archipelago is a high

point of their visit to Sweden. However, itsextensive fleet includes not only its famous classicsteamboats, but high speed vessels and ice-goingships. As the company says, it operates "not justduring the summer season and not just on the touristroute. We chug along whatever the weather, all yearround, from Arholma in the north to Landsort inthe south".

A privately owned company, Strömma Kanalbolaget,also operates a sizeable fleet in and around Stock-holm, mainly for tourist excursions and restaurantcruises.

In southern Sweden, HH-Ferries, founded in 1997by Swedish and Danish investors and now part ofthe Stena group, operates a commuter line takingcars and passengers between the Swedish town ofHelsingborg and Helsingör in Denmark. DestinationGotland, a shipping company serving the island ofthat name, carries around 1.5 million passengers(plus cars and freight); routes include Nynäshamn-Visby, Oskarshamn-Visby and Grankullavik (Öland)-Visby.

With the very important exception of Stena, mostferries operating international routes in Swedishwaters are foreign-owned, most notably the DanishDFDS (including Tor Line), Finnish Silja and VikingLines, and German TT-Line.

A tale of two superferriesStena is one of the world’s largest passenger shipcompanies with a modern fleet of 35 vesselsand Europe’s most comprehensive route network,comprising 17 ferry routes from Sweden to andfrom Denmark, Germany, and Poland. The groupalso operates between the UK and Ireland andbetween Norway and Denmark.. Its head office isin Gothenburg.

In 2009 the company employed 5700 staff, abouttwo-thirds of them onboard, while carrying 15.4million passengers, 3.3 million cars and othervehicles, and 1.6 million units of freight. Therewere 76,568 departures, generating revenues of SEK10 billion.

In March 2010 Stena announced the results of ahuge investment programme, totalling SEK 8billion, on its "strategically important routes". Twomonths later the company launched the first of twoof the world’s largest ferries – "superferries" – onthe Hook of Holland-Harwich route. The company

described the new superferries as "groundbreakingin their size, their onboard environments, energyefficiency, loading capacity and effective loadingand unloading options".

The investment programme also involved thetransfer of two "very modern" vessels, StenaHollandica and Stena Britannica, to theGothenburg-Kiel route, replacing four vessels servingGothenburg-Germany (in the process cuttingcarbon dioxide emissions by 30 per cent), while theStena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica wereupgraded and moved to Karlskrona-Gdynia.

As Stena Line's recent activities suggest, while theworld recession has had a huge impact on themerchant marine traffic, passenger traffic seems tohave been less severely affected.

Tankers: all in the familyOil and petroleum products are by far the mostimportant cargoes shipped to Swedish ports.Approximately once a week one of the large deepsea oil tankers arrives at the refinery at Brofjordenoutside Uddevalla. According to the SwedishShipowners' Association, some 21 million tonnes ofcrude oil are processed through the refineries inBrofjorden and Gothenburg.

Over 20 million tonnes ofcrude oil are processedthrough Swedish refineries.

Since all of the Swedish shipping companiesoperating deep-sea oil tankers have been sold toforeign companies, the Swedish-flagged fleet of oiltankers tends to ply coastal routes in northernEurope. These smaller short-sea shippingcompanies are often family owned.

Curiously, the tiny island of Donsö (pop. 1400) inthe Gothenburg archipelago is possibly the mostdensely packed cluster of shipping companies inthe world: many if not most of the nation's producttanker companies – still a sizeable segment inSweden – are registered here, some managingvessels for ocean-going traffic and others dealingwith short-sea shipping.

Broström, once one of Sweden´s largest shippingcompanies with deep sea tankers in traffic world-wide, was acquired in January 2009 by DanishMaersk Tankers, part of the giant A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. Since the sale, there are now onlytwo shipping companies listed on the Swedishstock exchange: the dry load tanker company Trans-atlantic, and Concordia, a tanker company in theStena group with head office in Gothenburg, itsfleet managed by Stena Bulk. Both are listed onNasdaq OMX Stockholm.

Transatlantic’s operations include icebreaking in theBaltic Sea, assignments for the offshore sector(particularly in Arctic areas), and contract-basedtransport. Concordia mans and charters vesselsmainly for carrying refined petroleum products suchas petrol, diesel fuel, and aviation fuel.

LNG: a growth sectorThe developed world's frantic search for cleanerenergy sources makes LNG (liquid natural gas)shipping look like the next big thing in theindustry. LNG is emerging as a one of the mostviable alternative fuels to oil and holds significantfinancial and environmental advantages Demandfor LNG worldwide is almost certain to grow rapidly,while the use of LNG as an alternative marine fuelfor powering vessels looks increasingly attractive.

As global economies prepare to expand LNGoperations, Sweden's shipping industry is well placedto benefit. Construction of the country's first LNGterminal, the first of its kind in the Baltic Sea area,is nearing completion at Nynäshamn. Due on line inspring 2011, it will import 250,000 tonnes of LNGper year, according to the developer, AGA Gas AB.The terminal is expected to reduce emissions ofcarbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides andparticulates, replacing oil with natural gas as fuelwhile stimulating the transition to the utilizationof natural gas in central Sweden.

Container traffic: a nice little earnerAccording to the Swedish Shipowners’ Association,the volume of Swedish container traffic is notterribly impressive: for example, the tonnage ofcontainer-transported goods discharged in Swedenannually is roughly a quarter of that delivered byRoRo trailer carriers. However, the segment is asolid and reliable part of the industry.

Wood products from northern Sweden are shippedto Japan by container, and so protected from

Solid and reliable

damage by wind and rain. Vegetables and fruits arecarried in cool containers loaded on board vesselsin ordinary shipping routes.

Container traffic is, of course, nothing new: as earlyas 1967 Olof Wallenius formed ACL, AtlanticContainer Line. Today, as part of the ItalianGrimaldi Group – although the vessels are managedby Transatlantic, the former B&N Nordsjöfrakt – ACLis a specialized carrier of containers, project andoversized cargo, heavy equipment and vehicles withthe world's largest roll-on roll-off/container ships.ACL offers weekly container and RoRo service toand from North America and Europe and WestAfrica, and oversized service to the Mediterraneanand South America.

Car carriers: world classWallenius is one of the world’s largest playersin the car carrier segment following its 1999formation with Norwegian Wilhelmsen of WalleniusWilhelmsen Lines, operator of the two companies'vessels, and the subsequent purchase by the newcompany of the Korean car carrier company EUKOR.Wallenius is also partner in the short sea companyUECC.

The launch of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics' carcarrier Faust in 2007 is seen as the start of a newera, that of the LCTC (large car and truck carrier).Faust's capacity is 8000 car equivalent units (CEU).

Shipbuilding: decline, fall and survivalNot so long ago, according to a European Commis-sion study of the maritime sector, Sweden was thesecond largest shipbuilding country in the worldafter Japan. The shipbuilding industry hadexpanded rapidly after the end of the Second WorldWar partly because Sweden had been neutral duringthe conflict so that all of its shipyards were intact.Shipyards such as Kockums, Götaverken, andEriksberg built a variety of vessels, especiallytankers, for the world fleet; during the 1960s about90 per cent of the Swedish fleet was built inSweden and order books were full.

At its peak in 1974-75 the shipbuilding industryemployed 39,000 – but by the end of the decade,barely five years later, almost all of the industryhad been lost to countries such as China, SouthKorea and Japan. The oil crisis of the 1970s hadmade a huge impact, aggravated by the increasingcompetitiveness of the Asian countries and theabolition of state subsidies. The surviving Swedishshipyards now tend to focus on repair, maintenanceand conversion.

Looking aheadThe Swedish Maritime cluster, in short, is welldeveloped, although there is room for improvementin infrastructure, particularly around some portswhich need better rail and road links. Withenvironmental issues high on the political agenda,and the renewed interest in shipping as a "green"mode of transport, the future is bright.

Sizing up the competition

Way up at the top of Europe with its long,punctuated coastline, Sweden's trade patterns arevirtually – and literally – insular: more than 90 percent of imported goods, for example, arrive bywater. But although the national shipping industryis unmistakeably a power in the land, far from allvessels calling at Swedish ports are Swedishflagged or Swedish owned. Competition, in otherwords, is keen.

In 2008 the CIA World Fact Book reckoned that theSwedish fleet comprised 195 Swedish owned andregistered vessels, 41 foreign owned vessels and207 registered in other countries, making Swedenthe world's number 34 shipping nation. TheSwedish Shipowners' Association looked forward toa doubled Swedish fleet, making the countrynumber 10 in the world, by 2016. Then theeconomic crisis put a stop to all that – whileinternational competition intensified accordingly.

In the scramble for new business, Swedish shippinghas some great competitive advantages. Mostvessels are well maintained, the seamen areeducated and up-to-date with the latestregulations; the Swedish fleet is known to be reliableand environmentally aware. Unfortunately, Swedenis also known as a high-cost country with high taxes.

Policy measuresGiven the Swedish shipping industry's huge impacton the national economy, parliament (Riksdagen)has long considered measures that might improvecompetitiveness.

A maritime policy decision adopted in 1996 callsfor the government "to create sustainability andreasonable competitive conditions for Swedishmerchant shipping". The decision stipulates thefollowing objectives for a business-orientedmaritime policy.

• The state should take advantage in various waysof the export opportunities inherent in shipping asan export business in order to strengthen thebalance of payments.

• The Swedish merchant fleet must be ensuredreasonable competitive conditions.

A government Bill and subsequent resolution on"Maritime Support" in 2000-2001, concerning taxesand social insurance fees levied on income earnedat sea by seafarers working on vessels registered inSweden, aimed to provide the Swedish shippingbusiness with competitive conditions equivalent tothe merchant fleets of other EU countries.

Tonnage tax, adopted by many EU-countries, hasbeen under discussion in Sweden for some years.The purpose of tonnage tax is to support shipping-related business in Member States and induceshipping companies to re-register their vesselsunder their national flags. This system is based onthe net weight of the vessel, how much cargo itcan transport, and thus its ability to make a profit.Strictly speaking, it is not a tax but a way ofestimating the income from cargo transport andpassenger traffic, based on average income, whichmakes long term planning easier. Althoughparliament has agreed to a tonnage tax onprinciple, the government has postponed itsintroduction.

Strategies and projectsSweden’s national and regional maritime clustersare relatively small in an EU perspective: to meetthe competition these clusters must grow.In addition, Sweden's 2052 kilometres ofinland waterways – navigable rivers, canals and thelike – could be put to better use in the transportchain.

We have seen how the EU's "Motorways of the sea"project aims to improve port communications in

peripheral European regions. The scheme is part ofa wider funding programme, known as Marco Polo,for projects which shift freight transport from theroad to sea, rail and inland waterways. "This meansfewer trucks on the road and thus less congestion,less pollution, and more reliable and efficient trans-port of goods", says the European Commission'sExecutive Agency for Competitiveness andInnovation. The current, second Marco Poloprogramme runs until 2013.

Scores of Swedish companies have benefited fromfunding under the Marco Polo scheme – which hasnot prevented some from complaining that theprogramme is "too bureaucratic"!

One of the main objectives of the Swedish Ship-owners' Association is to make Swedish shippingmore competitive. On the political agenda, thismeans lobbying for the introduction of the tonnagetax system and for free market measures enablingSwedish shipping companies to compete on thesame terms as any others. The shipowners alsomaintain that technical and administrativeregulations should be neutral in competition, andcoastal waters anywhere in the world should beopen to navigation by Swedish vessels.

European tonnage taxis a weighty issue.

31

Unlike most of the EU countries, the Swedishgovernment operates a system of "fairway dues",fees charged in port to the state MaritimeAdministration, a public agency, to meet the costsof ice breaking and pilotage. Based on the vessels'gross tonnage and on loaded and discharged cargo,the dues are also "environmentally differentiated":that is, the charges may be reduced according tothe sulphur content of the vessel's bunker oil orwhether anti-pollution equipment has beeninstalled.

The employers' organization Association Ports ofSweden – representing virtually all of the country'sports– is one of a number of voices in the sectorarguing that the system makes Swedish shippingless competitive.

European perspectivesThe European Community Shipowners’ Association,ECSA, formed in 1965, comprises the national ship-owner associations of the EU and Norway. Its aimis "to promote the interests of European shippingso that the industry can best serve European andinternational trade and commerce in a competitivefree enterprise environment to the benefit ofshippers and consumers".

In a comprehensive strategy paper published inJanuary 2009, ESCA looked at the competitiveposition of European shipping in global markets,human resources, seamanship and maritime know-how. Additional topics included "quality shippingas a key competitive advantage, working togetheron the international scene, exploiting the fullpotential of short sea shipping and sea transport

services for business and citizens in Europe, andEurope as a world leader in maritime research andinnovation". One important conclusion was that anappropriate operating framework of state aidguidelines should be maintained for a longerperiod.

ESCA is particularly keen on encouraging moreyoung people to choose a career in the Europeanmerchant fleet. European seamen are well-trainedand up to date on relevant legislation and reachthe highest level of maritime know-how. Theassociation also wants to see more Europeaninvolvement in the working of the UN InternationalMaritime Organization (IMO).

European Maritime DayThe annual European Maritime Day StakeholderConference is where European political leaders meetthe shipping industry on equal terms. As well aspolitical sessions, the agenda for the third suchmeeting in May 2010 included more than 50 work-shops focussing on the EU's Integrated MaritimePolicy, in particular on sustainable economicgrowth, employment and innovation, cross-cuttingpolicy tools, sustainability and the governance ofsea basins.

The Integrated Maritime Policy was introduced in2007, on the grounds that "Europe is surroundedby seas and oceans: the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans,the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Mediterraneanand the Black Sea. The sea is our past, present andfuture. The European Union needs a comprehensiveIntegrated Maritime Policy to benefit from the fullpotential of our seas and oceans".

A detailed Action Plan accompanying the visiondocument – also called "the Blue book" – set outchallenges facing the European maritime sector inten key areas:

• Adaptation to climate change

• European Marine Observation and Data Network(EMODNET)

• Integrated maritime governance in Member States

• Integrated maritime policy in the Mediterranean

• International dimension

• Maritime clusters

• Maritime spatial planning

• Integrated maritime surveillance

• The EU and the Arctic region

• Tourist facilities in ports

In October 2009, a progress report on theIntegrated Maritime Policy identified six “strategicpolicy orientations for the future":

• Integration of maritime governance, wherepermanent structures for cross-sectoralcollaboration and stakeholder consultation need to

be put in place at European, national and regionallevels of government, building on prior achieve-ments.

• Development of cross-cutting policy tools,namely maritime spatial planning, comprehensivemarine knowledge and data, and integratedmaritime surveillance. These tools can streamlinethe way we manage maritime space and maritimeactivities and help preserve marine ecosystems.

• Defining boundaries of sustainability, to be setin the framework of the Marine Strategy FrameworkDirective, will help develop all maritime activitieswith greater regard to their cumulative impacts onthe environment.

• Development of sea-basin strategies, whichallows adapting priorities and policy-making toolsto the unique geographical, economical andpolitical context of each maritime region.

• Development of international dimension of theIntegrated Maritime Policy, to strengthen the EU'sposition in multilateral and bilateral relations.

• Renewed focus on sustainable economic growth,employment and innovation through, for example,strengthened links between energy and climatechange polices and the IMP which will helppromote renewable energies from the sea anddevelop climate change adaptation strategy forcoastal and maritime areas.

European Maritime Day is celebrated right acrossthe continent: from Le Havre to Gdynia and fromTurku to Trieste, where cities, regions and or-ganisations organize their own events in parallelto the central conference, thus bringing a widevariety of maritime issues to the public's attentionacross Europe. The Integrated Maritime Policy, saythe organizers, "acts as a champion in mobilisingactors and in creating a new dynamism of dialogueand cooperation with the common goal ofsustainable growth in coastal regions and maritimesectors".

If nothing else, the annual event confirms – andcelebrates – the status of the sea as an essentialresource in the European Union, 22 membercountries of which are coastal states. There aremore than 1200 sea ports in Europe; three to five

per cent of the EU's GDP comes from industries andservices associated with the maritime sector, andmaritime regions account for more than 40 per centof Europe's GDP.

Ninety per cent of foreign trade and 43 per cent oftrade within the EU take place via maritime routes,and European shipbuilding accounts for 10 per centof global production: there are something like95,000 boats involved in fisheries and aquaculturealone. The sea is, of course, also a source of energy:quite apart from traditional energy extraction,renewable off-shore energy is being used in manycountries and the possibility of power plants drivenby the sea is on the agenda.

The sea also represents a great opportunity forresearch on issues such as the impact of climatechange, environmental protection and sustainablefisheries, as well as maritime technologies andshipbuilding. In response to the global economiccrisis, the maritime sectors of the economy willinvest in maintaining and further developingtransport, ports and shipbuilding, while the needto ensure that development is sustainable willgenerate additional "green" profits.

The green wave

Environment is a priority for Swedish shipping– as for most industrial sectors in theseecologically aware times. The Swedish Shipowners'Association's committee for environmental issuesaddresses these concerns at home and throughoutthe EU.

In many respects Swedish shipowners are wellahead of the game. As early as 1990, for example,shipping companies started to use low sulphur fuelinstead of heavy oil on their Baltic passengerroutes, and were considering the use of low sulphurfuel by deep sea vessels. However, sulphur andnitrogen emissions are still cause for anxiety,together with carbon dioxide and other greenhousegases.

The waters surrounding Sweden include severalsensitive areas: the Skagerrak and Kattegat on thewest coast, and the Baltic Sea in the east. As manyas 40 larger vessels a day pass through thearchipelagos, criss-crossed by numerous narrowfairways, en route to Stockholm and other cities.Road and rail links to Stockholm cannot alwayscope with the volumes of cargo passing througheven the largest ports such as Nynäshamn andNorrtälje – hence the need for "intermodal"

initiatives as discussed in chapter 3... and theannouncement by the Ministry of Enterprise, Energyand Communications in March 2010 of a SEK 497billion investment aimed at strengtheninginfrastructure throughout the country inaccordance with an "intermodal national plan forthe period 2010-2021" and intermodal countyplans.

The scheme specifies a number of "specialmeasures" for promoting an efficient flow of goodsand improving export and import opportunities forSwedish companies. Investments in the HarbourLine in Gothenburg, including the MarieholmBridge, and building a second track to the harbourarea in Gothenburg over the Marieholm Bridge will"increase redundancy and reduce vulnerability", theministry said.

Other projects include Södertälje Lock, the fairwaysto Gävle Harbour and Norrköping Harbour, TunadalLine to Sundsvall Harbour, and the electrificationof tracks to several other harbours.

IMO and MarpolThe International Maritime Organization isresponsible for global regulations on safety,

35

A sensitive area

36

security and the prevention and control of marinepollution from ships. Its member governments– fast approaching 200 – are committed toimplementing and enforcing the regulations oncethey enter into force for the international merchantshipping fleet of 60,000 or more ships (above 400GT). The aim, says the IMO, is "to reduce to thebarest minimum all adverse environmental impactsfrom ships".

In 1973, the IMO adopted the InternationalConvention for the Prevention of Pollution fromShips, now known universally as Marpol, sub-sequently amended by the Protocols of 1978 and1997 and regularly updated by amendments. TheMarpol Convention, which now applies to 99 percent of the world’s merchant tonnage, addressespollution of the sea by oil, noxious liquid

substances carried in bulk, harmful substancescarried by sea in packaged form, sewage andgarbage, and air pollution from emissionsassociated with shipping.

Anti-fouling systems used on ships, the transfer ofalien species by ships’ ballast water and theenvironmentally sound recycling of ships arecovered by separate treaties.

Reductions of pollution generated by ships are "allthe more noteworthy when compared with thesignificant growth in the world’s shipping industry– both in the size of the world fleet and thedistances that it travels", the IMO declares. "IMOis continuously pursuing a proactive approach toenhance implementation and enforcement, both byflag and port States, including a proactive action

A proactive approach

plan to ensure that shore-based reception facilitiesfor ship-generated waste keep up with internationalregulatory requirements."

Oil and waterOperational and construction regulationsintroduced by Marpol, along with other safety-related regulations such as the introduction ofmandatory traffic separation schemes andinternational standards for seafarer training, havebeen instrumental in the continuous decline ofaccidental oil pollution over the past 30 years. In1983, Marpol introduced a number of radical newconcepts, such as a requirement for new oil tankersto be fitted with segregated ballast tanks, so as toobviate the need to carry ballast water in cargotanks. This was superseded by the requirement foroil tankers delivered from 1996 onwards to befitted with a double hull. The protection of themarine environment was thus greatly enhanced.

Innovations introduced by Marpol on allowabledischarges of bilge water include standards fortreatment using the oily water separator (OWS),which enables a vessel's crew to separate oil frombilge water before the bilge water is dischargedoverboard, and oil discharge and monitoring

control systems. Rules for the prevention ofpollution caused by noxious liquid substances inbulk ensure that chemical tankers conform with themost stringent standards of construction, includingthe protection of cargo tanks, operational dis-charges of tank washings are severely restricted.

Despite the rapid growth of world seaborne tradein recent years – particularly in oil and petroleumproducts, the average number of oil spills over 700tonnes has shrunk from more than 25 per year inthe 1970s to perhaps half a dozen. One major oilcompany has estimated that the tankers it owns,or uses under long-term charter, spill less than oneteaspoon of oil for every million gallons trans-ported; while tanker owners take pride in statisticsthat show that 99.9996 per cent of all oil trans-ported by sea is delivered safely and withoutimpact on the marine environment.

However, accidents (or negligence, or malfeasance)do happen. IMO’s International Convention on OilPollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperationprovides the framework for responding to major oilpollution incidents, while the Protocol onPreparedness, Response and Cooperation toPollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious

37

Less than one teaspoonper million gallons

38

Substances extends this regulatory frameworkto cover a wide range of pollutants and eco-toxins.

Regulations covering liability and compensation fordamage caused by oil transported by ship provideautomatic cover of up to $1 billion for any singleincident, regardless of fault. Liability andcompensation regimes also cover damage causedby spills of oil when carried as fuel in ships’bunkers and spills involving hazardous and noxioussubstances.

Air and weatherA Marpol Annex limits the main air pollutantscontained in ships exhaust gas, including oxides ofsulphur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx), and prohibitsdeliberate emissions of ozone depleting

substances. Shipboard incineration and theemissions of volatile organic compounds fromtankers are also subject to regulation.

The most recent measures specify a progressivereduction in emissions of SOx, NOx and particulatematter, and the introduction of emission controlareas (ECAs) where further restrictions apply.

Under the latest revision, the global sulphur cap isreduced initially to 3.50 per cent m/m (from thecurrent 4.50 per cent), effective from 1 January2012; then progressively to 0.5 per cent, effectivefrom 1 January 2020, subject to a feasibility reviewto be completed no later than 2018. The limitsapplicable in ECAs for SOX and particulate matterare reduced to 1 per cent, beginning on 1 July

"I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tideIs a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying...."– John Masefield

2010 (from the current 1.5 per cent); furtherreduced to 0.1 per cent, effective from 1 January2015. Progressive reductions in NOX emissions frommarine diesel engines are included, with increas-ingly stringent emission limits for engines installedon or after 1 January 2011 and 1 January 2016.

Exhaust gases are the primary source of greenhousegas emissions from ships, both in terms of quantityand of global warming potential. According to anIMO study in 2009, international shipping hasemitted an estimated 870 million tonnes, or about2.7 per cent, of global carbon dioxide emissions ofCO2 in 2007. By the year 2050, in the absence ofregulations, ship emissions were projected to riseby a factor of two to three (compared with 2007levels) as a result of the expected growth in worldtrade.

Technical and operational measures could increaseefficiency and reduce the emissions rate by 25 percent to 75 per cent below the current levels,according to this study. Many of these measuresappear to be cost-effective. In July 2009, IMO’sMarine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC)finalized a package of just such measures, focusingon improved design and propulsion technologiesand improved operational practices. By some recentestimates, shipping emissions could be cut by morethan 60 per cent by 2050 through measures suchas engine efficiency improvements and alternativefuels, while operational improvements, such asslower speeds for ships, could cut shipping emis-sions by 27 per cent.

Market-based mechanisms are also seen as a meansof offsetting emissions and providing a fiscalincentive for the maritime industry to invest in

39

40

more fuel-efficient ships and technologies and tooperate ships in a more energy-efficient manner.

In March 2010 the IMO's environment policydecision-making body agreed to set up an expertgroup to "assess the feasibility of market-basedmeasures for reducing ship's greenhouse gasemissions". Another working group was looking atoptions to improve ships' energy efficiency, the IMOsaid. The committee also drafted a text onmandatory requirements for an energy efficiencyindex for new ships and an energy efficiencymanagement plan for all ships.

Individual shipping companies, such as WalleniusLines, have been quick to tackle climate issues.Wallenius aims to reduce its sulphur emissions by30 per cent by 2012, not only by using cleaner fuelbut by “eco-driving” – better route planning, cargohandling and speed reduction – in order to cut fuelconsumption. Improving the interaction betweenpropeller, rudder and hull also saves energy – andfuel. Wallenius is one of many Swedish companies

and institutions carrying out research into suchtechnical fixes, most notably, in recent years,renewable energy: fuel cells, biofuels and/or sun,wind and wave power.

Scrap and rubbishWhen ships reach the end of their working lives,recycling is undoubtedly the most environment-friendly way to dispose of them. Many of thecomponents and much of the steel is re-used in thecountries where the ships are dismantled, in newships, in agriculture, in hospitals, at homes, and inother products. However, there are concerns aboutenvironmental and working conditions in shiprecycling yards.

In May 2009, the IMO adopted the Hong KongInternational Convention for the Safe andEnvironmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, whichbalances safety and environmental concerns withthe commercial requirements of seaborne trade andthe ship recycling industry.

Waste disposal hasbecome betterregulated, but morework is needed.

Similarly, the disposal of all types of wastesproduced on a ship's voyage has become betterregulated. Here Marpol's requirements are muchstricter in a number of "Special Areas"; but perhapstheir most important feature is a total ban ondumping into the sea of all forms of plastic.

However, although governments are obliged toensure the provision of facilities at all ports andterminals for the reception of rubbish, more workneeds to be done to ensure the availability ofadequate reception facilities in every port.

Fair means and foulShips’ hulls need to be kept smooth from marinegrowth to ensure maximum performance and fullefficiency. The IMO’s International Convention onthe Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems onShips prohibits the use of harmful organotins such

as tributyltin (TBT) in anti-fouling paints used onships and establishes a mechanism to prevent thepotential future use of other harmful substances inanti-fouling systems. Tin-based antifouling bottompaints keep algae and barnacles from attaching tothe bottoms of ships, but also damage other marineorganisms. When organotins were first banned bythe EU in 2003, several Swedish shippingcompanies were already using tin-free alternatives.

We have noted the Global Research andDevelopment Forum on Emerging Ballast WaterManagement, which was held in Malmö in January2010. Ballast water is sea water pumped on boardto stabilize the vessel. Marine organisms taken onboard during this process can overrun natural localspecies and cause other environmental and/orpublic health problems when the ballast water ispumped out during loading.

41

Antifouling bottompaints have causedproblems.

42

The International Convention for the Control andManagement of Ship’s Ballast Water andSediments, adopted in February 2008, declares thatballast water treatment is now the only option fordealing with the issue, and must replace (after aphasing-out period of several years) a previouslyapproved procedure known as ballast water ex-change. (This involves replacing coastal water withopen-ocean water during a voyage, in the processreducing the density of coastal organisms in ballasttanks that may be able to invade a recipient port;these are replaced with oceanic organisms with alower probability of survival in nearshore waters.)

IMO and the industry are working together toensure that new treatments and procedures will nothave an adverse effect on the safety of the vessel,and will not solve one environmental problem bycreating another. Already, a number of ballast watermanagement systems have been approved asmeeting the Convention standards.

As well as introducing non native species into newenvironments, ballast and bilge discharge fromships can spread human pathogens and otherharmful diseases and toxins. Swedish authoritieshave expressed concern over the grey and blackwastewater commonly discharged from all vessels,including pleasure boats that simply empty theirbilges or septic tanks into the sea. The passengershipping company Viking Line, which operates

seven vessels serving the Finnish mainland, Ålandand Sweden, has introduced a closed system wherewastewater is held in huge tanks and taken ashoreto be cleaned.

There is, in addition, yet another hazard associatedwith species movement: the "biofouling" of ships– that is, the undesirable accumulation of micro-organisms, plants and animals on submergedstructures. A single fertile fouling organism has thepotential to release many thousands of eggs,spores or larvae into the water with the capacityto found new populations.

Biofouling introductions are common to all typesof vessel, from small pleasure craft tointernational fishing vessel, large trading vessels,barges, and mobile drilling rigs. In some regionsmore than 50 per cent of invasive aquatic speciesare thought to have been introduced through

biofouling. International measures for minimizingthe translocation of invasive aquatic speciesthrough biofouling of ships are in the pipeline.

The "Convention on the Prevention of MarinePollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter"(the "London Convention") was one of the firstglobal treaties to protect the marine environmentfrom human activities and has been in force since1975. Its objective is to promote the effectivecontrol of all sources of marine pollution and totake all practicable steps to prevent pollution ofthe sea by dumping of wastes.

In 1996, the "London Protocol" was adopted tomodernize the Convention and, eventually, replaceit. Under the Protocol all dumping is prohibited,but permits may be issued to allow the dumping,subject to certain conditions, of the specifiedmaterials: dredged material, sewage sludge, fishwastes, vessels and platforms, inert and inorganicgeological material (e.g., mining wastes), organicmaterial of natural origin, bulky items (primarily ofiron, steel and/or concrete), and CO2 from carboncapture and storage (CCS) processes.

EcoPorts and ESPOEcoPorts is a non-profit foundation established in1999 by nine European ports as a formal structurefor the exchange of experience in the areas of portenvironment and sustainability. Its primary purposeis to act as a network platform, exchangingenvironmental solutions between European port

communities and promoting collaborative projectsaddressing sustainability issues both in ports and inthe logistics chain. The focus is on best practice andtechnological innovation.

The organization has also developed and validatedenvironmental management tools for ports, includingan environmental risk check list and analysissystem and a port environmental review system.This voluntary environmental certification systemfor ports, establishing a European environmentalbenchmark, is a proven stepping-stone towards ISO14001.

ESPO, the European Seaports Organization, workswith EcoPorts in areas such as port sector policyand legislation. ESPO represents the seaports of theMember States of the European Union (includingthe founders of EcoPorts) and has observermembers from several other European countries.

EcoPorts' projects involve universities, companiesand local authorities in compiling databases anddevising and testing management tools, generallywith funding by the European Commission, andpromoting their use in individual ports throughcollaboration, training and certification with theassistance of Lloyd’s Register as independent auditor.

The Swedish members of EcoPorts are Gävle,Gothenburg, Hargshamn, Kalmar, Karlshamn,Malmö, Stockholm, Sundsvall, Uddevalla andVänerhamn.

Intergovernmental cooperationThe Helsinki Commission, Helcom, works to protectthe marine environment of the Baltic Sea from allsources of pollution through between Denmark,Estonia, the European Community, Finland, Germany,Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden.

The commission is the governing body of the"Convention on the Protection of the MarineEnvironment of the Baltic Sea Area", morecommonly known as the Helsinki Convention.

Helcom describes its "vision for the future" as"a healthy Baltic Sea environment with diversebiological components functioning in balance,resulting in a good ecological status andsupporting a wide range of sustainable economicand social activities".

In May 2009, Sweden and its Nordic neighbourFinland launched a fund to improve the Baltic Sea'smarine environment – an example of numerous ini-tiatives taken as part of Helcom's action plan toclean up the sea by 2021. In particular, theenvironmental fund would subsidise efforts at localand regional level to reduce discharges by theagricultural sector and remove nutrients fromwastewater, Swedish environment minister AndreasCarlgren said.

At the same time, calculations carried out for Helcomat Stockholm University appeared to confirm reportsthat discharges of phosphates and nitrogen to theBaltic Sea were declining, partly due to improvedfarming practices in Denmark and Sweden.

Swedish members of EcoPortsinclude Kalmar (left) andMalmö.

Better safe than sorry

Several relatively recent disasters at sea haveinvolved the loss of Swedish lives:

• A fire on board the Danish-owned passenger ferryScandinavian Star in April 1990 killed 158passengers and crew. The ferry was sailing betweenOslo (Norway) and Fredrikshavn (Denmark) whenthe blaze, apparently set deliberately, started outsidethe Swedish coast of Bohuslän.

• In 1993, the Polish ferry Jan Heweliusz capsizedand sank in 27 metres of water off the Germanisland of Rügen en route to the Swedish port ofYstad, with the loss of 65 lives.

• By far the worst such catastrophe of moderntimes, the sinking of the ferry Estonia en routefrom Tallinn, Estonia, to Stockholm in September1994, claimed 852 lives.

Inevitably, each disaster led to seemingly endlessrounds of investigation, recrimination... andultimately technical improvements, new safetymeasures and more efficient distress procedures,most notably the Global Maritime Distress SafetySystem (GMDSS).

INSJO: critical eventsThe Swedish maritime authorities and the SwedishShipowners' Association have jointly created anddesigned INSJO, which describes itself as "aninformation system to capture accidents, incidents,near-misses and non-conformities... a data base,

an experience data bank, built up of critical eventsand incidents in relation to operation of and workon ships".

INSJO is now in operation after several years oftesting, although not yet fully implemented. Theessential content of the database is reports fromcompanies, ships, safety committees and crews inSwedish ships. The reports coming from thedesignated person (DP) in the company are registeredanonymous.

Real-life incidents and critical events, and thosewhich are thought likely in future, are described:these include hazardous operations, workprocedures and situations with potentially seriousconsequences for the ship, the crew, the passengersor the environment. The INSJO system can alertthose involved, recommend the necessary safetymeasures, and inform other companies, ships andcrews. The data base is searchable.

Titanic treatyThe Swedish Government has of course ratifiedSOLAS, the International Convention for the Safetyof Life at Sea, passed in 1914 in response to thesinking of the Titanic. Widely considered the mostimportant of all international treaties concerningthe safety of merchant ships, the initial versionconcerned numbers of lifeboats and otheremergency equipment, and safety procedures suchas continuous radio watches.

Subsequent revisions over the years have resultedin a detailed prescription covering virtually everyaspect of onboard safety:

• construction – subdivision and stability,machinery and electrical installations

• fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction

• life-saving appliances and arrangements• radio communications• safety of navigation• carriage of cargoes• carriage of dangerous goods• nuclear ships• management for the safe operation of ships• safety measures for high-speed craft• special measures to enhance maritime safety• special measures to enhance maritime security• additional safety measures for bulk carriers.

European initiativesDating from 1982, the Paris Memorandum of Under-standing on Port State Control (the Paris MOU) isan agreement between the maritime authorities of27 European and North Atlantic maritime administ-rations on a system of harmonized inspectionprocedures designed to target substandards ships,"with the main objective being their elimination".The agreement has been amended several times toaccommodate new safety and marine requirementsstemming from IMO and various EU directives.

The European Maritime Safety Agency, EMSA, wascreated in 2002 in the aftermath of the pollutiondisaster caused when the tanker Erika sank off thecoast of France in 1999. The agency providestechnical and scientific advice to the EuropeanCommission and works with the various nationalmaritime services. Its activities include strengthening

the Port State Control regime, auditingclassification societies, developing a commonmethodology for the investigation of maritimeaccidents, vessel traffic monitoring and infor-mation, promoting best practice, and "assisting theaccession countries in the implementation ofCommunity legislation on maritime safety and theprevention of pollution by ships".

Maritime transport is "of fundamental importanceto Europe and the rest of the world", says EMSA."To put this in perspective, over 90 per cent ofEuropean Union external trade goes by sea andmore than 3.7 billion tonnes of freight a year areloaded and unloaded in EU ports. This means thatshipping is the most important mode of transportin terms of volume. Furthermore, as a result of itsgeography, its history and the effects ofglobalisation, maritime transport will continue tobe the most important transport mode in develop-ing EU trade for the foreseeable future."

EMSA's SafeSeaNet project, launched in 2002, aims"to aid the collection, dissemination, andharmonized exchange of maritime data". As achannel of communication between local/regionaland central authorities, the network is designed tohelp prevent accidents at sea and marine pollution,and to facilitate the enforcement of EU maritimesafety legislation.

In March 2010 the system was upgraded to includea new, user-friendly web service for tracking shippingin European waters. An innovative tracking module,STIRES (SafeSeaNet Traffic Information Relay &Exchange System), enables authorities to see allcommercial vessels in and around EU waters in asingle view. The information has been available viathe SafeSeaNet system for some time, but this isthe first time that users will be able to see it in afully interactive, multi-functional display.

"This approach will give Member State users awhole range of important new capabilities to workwith", said EMSA Executive Director, Willem deRuiter. "From today, instead of just accessing adatabase, they will be able to see the whole near-real-time situation for the EU displayed on a mapright in front of them, and to select all ships, ports,sea areas and many other elements at the click ofa button.

"Much better still, we will soon be in a position tooffer an integrated display system which will beable to identify and locate ships anywhere in theworld and also show the EU pollution and accidentpictures. The user base is expanding all the time,with port state control officers being among thelatest to join the system."

Life on the bounding main

In days gone by, seafaring meant leading a life ofadventure and seeing the world – or so traditionhas it. Today it’s all change, and working at seadoesn’t have quite the same appeal: one reason,perhaps, for a growing problem that looks all toolikely to become chronic, a decline in maritimerecruitment.

The social democratic hegemony in the Nordiccountries, leading to the rise of the welfare stateduring the latter half of the 20th century, oftengets the blame. The reasoning goes something likethis:

For previous generations, shipping was simply inthe blood. In coastal communities everyone had anuncle, grandfather or neighbour who had made orstill made a living at sea. But once free schoolingwas available to all, irrespective of income or socialstatus, the ranks of teenage apprentice seamenbegan to dwindle. Shipowners complained that itwas becoming difficult to find recruits of the rightage – or any at all. External shocks, in particularthe intermittent periods of recession from the

mid-20th century onward, have not improved thesituation.

Life on board can be stressful, particularly on shortsea routes where the vessel calls at many ports ona tight schedule; and long periods away from thefamily have always been difficult – and a mainreason for leaving the seafaring side of theindustry.

A turn on an ocean going ship can be severalmonths long, putting pressure on the spouse leftat home with the children and probably holdingdown a full-time job as well. (On the other hand,home leave will be roughly the same.) Frequently,the sailor will choose to spend relatively few yearsworking at sea, switching to shipping-related jobson shore, in coastal navigation – where the turn isabout a fortnight – or with the coast guard, oncehe, or in about 15 per cent of the cases she, hasstarted a family.

Young men and women are still drawn to shippingand a life at sea, of course. Sadly, there are fewer

jobs for them, as so many vessels in the Swedishmerchant fleet are laid up and waiting for economicconditions to improve. Nevertheless, "Research,education, and recruiting are some of our mostimportant issues today", says shipowners'association CEO Håkan Friberg. "We have spent alot of time, resources, and money to make youngpeople interested in our industry".

Life on board has changed over the years, and verymuch for the better, thanks in part to technologicaladvances. A large RoRo vessel. for example, can behandled by a crew of 20. Smaller crews mean betterconditions: a cabin for every crew member with

toilet and shower, exercise and work-out facilities,and lots of good food.

Keeping in touch with family has become mucheasier with the advent of the internet, mobilephones, and the like: the vast majority of theSwedish shipping companies now provide e-mailaddresses and a range of personal communicationlinks on board.

A Lighthouse study of "Social IT onboard",published in 2009, looks at "all the informationtechnology that can be used to enhance the socialwellbeing" at sea, from news and entertainment to

radio, telephony, SMS and the internet, which inaddition to e-mail includes surfing and the abilityto download music, talking books and movies.

While these types of communication are taken forgranted ashore, accessibility onboard hastraditionally been very limited.

"Humans have an inherent need to communicate inorder to maintain a social network", write theauthors of the report. "The emotionaldisadvantages for the crew deriving from longperiods of separation from family and friends aremitigated by the access to good communication."

Previous studies have shown that both job perfor-mance and efficiency are increased by theemployers understanding of the importance ofcommunication and the possibility to keep in touchwith the ones at home. This can also lead to areduced risk of accidents.

Satellite communication with permanent connectionis a prerequisite for social IT. Technical solutionsenable bandwidth to be divided betweencommercial and private traffic. which can also beallocated so as to prevent social communicationsfrom interfering with the flow of informationbetween the ship and the company.

Innovation and education

52

Inevitably, innovation – and in particular researchand development (R&D) – is the beating heart ofthe Swedish shipping industry, involving everyaspect of the maritime sector. The development ofthe RoRo vessel, briefly outlined in chapter two, isa good example.

The RoRo concept was first introduced during WorldWar II so that the Allies could transport combatvehicles from ship to shore: most famously onD-Day, 6 June 1944, when a beachhead wasestablished in Normandy. In peacetime, RoRotechnology was adapted for merchant vessels andshort ferry crossings such as the English Channel.

When Wallenius began to develop its own RoRoconcept, it started with small feeder vessels, about1000 dwt, to and from large ports such as Antwerpand Bremerhaven. In order to accommodate RoRovessels and cope with large numbers of cars driving

off the ships, ports and terminals had to beexpanded and redesigned.

The new RoRo concept cut manpower requirementsfor loading and unloading the cars by half, whichoften meant difficult negotiations with the unions.Other problems involved exhaust fumes generatedby the cars, and the bulkheads, which requiredhydraulic mechanisms to open and close the ports.This special construction, certified by Lloyd’sRegister, is used in many modern RoRo vessels.

A Swedish protocolThe automatic identification system (AIS) is a shortrange coastal tracking system used worldwide tomanage vessel traffic. Håkan Lans, a Swedishinventor, is responsible for the communicationplatform or rather a communication protocol,known as self-organizing time division multipleaccess (STDMA). Using global navigation satellite

systems (GNSS) and VHF radio communications, thetechnology enables the vessel to continuouslymonitor its own exact position, direction andvelocity and those any other nearby vessels. Thesystem has been designated the world standard bythe IMO and, for aircraft, the International CivilAviation Organization.

Incorporating AIS transmitters plus CCTV, radar andVHF, the vessel traffic service (VTS) is a monitoringsystem used by harbour and port authorities allover the world to keep track of vessel movementswith a view to navigational safety in a limitedgeographical area, by exchanging data with othernearby vessels and VTS stations. The data includeposition, course and unique identification for eachvessel. AIS transmitters automatically broadcastthe vessel information. The SOLAS conventionrequires AIS on board all passenger vessels as wellas on all ships of 300 gross tonnage and upwardsand passenger ships regardless of size.

Because not all vessels are equipped with AIS thesystem is primarily used as a lookout for collisionavoidance and to determine the risk of collision.

The system also describes the position of markerpositions, navigational aids and, using a trans-mitter on shore, submerged objects such as wrecks,rocks and shoals.

There are a number of ways to operate AIS. Somecomputer programs, for example, when tuned to theAIS broadcast frequency, can demodulate the rawaudio from a conventional marine VHF radiotelephone into AIS data. Others can re-transmit theAIS information to a local or global network,allowing the public or authorized users to observevessel traffic online or on a chart plotter. As theseprograms do not directly involve AIS transmitters,they can't display their own position, but are usefulon smaller vessels to avoid collision and as anavigation aid. One of the great advantages of AISis that it is relatively inexpensive.

View from the LighthouseThe Lighthouse maritime competence and researchcentre, inaugurated in 2006, aims to create anattractive R&D environment from an internationalas well as national perspective, operating on threelevels:

Theme area:Cargo Ship

• a project organization consisting of a scientificboard, leaders responsible for five "theme areas",and a management board, all actively safeguardingresearch ideas and turning these into actualfinanced projects• a physical environment serving as a commonmeeting ground where scientists from different dis-ciplines can come together and contribute to eachother’s research• a close cooperation between industry. academe,and society through active reference groupsconnected to the theme areas.

The five theme areas are designated Eco Ship, ErgoShip, Cargo Ship, Safe Ship and Business Ship.

Eco Ship deals with education and research relatedto the resource use and environmental impactcaused by shipping and maritime activities. Energyefficiency and potential use of renewable energy

sources are important issues. One of its majorachievements to date is the development ofShipflow naval architecture software, now usedworldwide by shipbuilders, shipping companies,consultants and universities working with shipdesign.

Ergo Ship includes a “Human Factors" group focusingon evaluation, planning and design of controlcentres – mainly bridge decks and engine controlrooms – on ships. Much use has been made of thefull mission simulator, a unique research andteaching resource, as well as various radiosimulators and a smaller bridge deck simulators.

Cargo Ship aims to develop effective and innovativecarrier systems, but also studies interaction withports and other parts of the logistics chain.Research projects focus on systems, sea-goingqualities, ship design and engineering, arrangements

on board and cargo handling. Ships and floatingoffshore structures are evaluated in regard tostructural strength, collision resistance, lightweightstructure and fatigue life.

Safe Ship carries out R&D in engineering,organization and education as applied topreventive safety, increased survival andevacuation of damaged ships, often usingsimulators in collaboration with the Human Factorsgroup. The decision-making process on the bridgedeck and the working environment in the enginecontrol room are important topics.

Business Ship is concerned with markets and theterms and conditions of the shipping business,including patterns of international trade such asthe flow of consumer goods in connection withcontainerization; maritime law and the impact ofsafety systems on civil liability protocols such asshipowner responsibility and insurance coverage;cash flow analysis in the shipping industry, andlogistics and transport economics.

Innovation is not, of course, the sole province ofscientists and engineers.

The Swedish Club, a leading marine mutual insurerheadquartered in Gothenburg and with offices insome of the world's strategic shipping centres, wassomething of an innovator at its founding in1872... and remains so to this day.

Truly a mutualProclaiming its "commitment to safe and pollution-free operation of vessels", the Swedish Club is atrue mutual, a non-profit-making organizationowned and self-managed and under the directcontrol of its members, "an internationalcommunity of front rank shipowners, who believethat quality comes first".

The Club wrote its first hull and machinery policyon December 13, 1872. The first entered ship, theyear-old steamship Orvar Odd, was insured for alarge sum at that time - over 400,000 Swedishdollars.

By January of the following year, a total of 13 shipswere already covered for hull and machinery risks,vindicating the decision by four local Masters– Captains Fleetwood, Ohlsson, Leffler and Olson –to form a specialist mutual catering to the newsteamship technology.

The Suez Canal's opening three years earlier hadconfirmed the viability of steamships. By the startof the 1890s they dominated the internationalshipping market, with improved fuel consumption,greater cargo capacity and voyage times set topreviously unimaginable schedules.

Insurance costs were high, however, and insuredvalues for The Swedish Club regularly exceeded halfa million Swedish dollars. The country's existingmarine insurers declined to cover the new steam-powered vessels. Their loss was the Club's gain!

Secure futureNewspaper advertising and a series of publicmeetings attracted more shipowners, and by themiddle of 1873 the Club's future appeared secure.It was in that year that the Club's first casualtyoccurred. The steamer Danmark (insured value,427,400 Swedish dollars) collided with a quay inthe port of Stockholm, causing extensive damageto another vessel and a telegraph line. Sevenmonths later, the Valhall, stranded on the westcoast of Jutland, became the Club's first total lossand required a call on the Club's reinsurers.

In 1878, the Club's rules were amended to coverNorwegian and Danish steamers, but the Club madeno inroads into the shipping communities of itsScandinavian neighbours. The Club then refocusedits attention on establishing a classification societyin Sweden. This idea, too, was shelved as theSwedish-flag fleet was deemed too small to supportsuch an organization. The Club had greater successin 1906, however, when it proposed the creation ofa trade association for the Swedish shippingindustry. The Swedish Shipowners' Association wasestablished that same year in Gothenburg, whereits headquarters remain to this day.

By 1910, demand for protection and indemnity(P&I) insurance was growing rapidly in Sweden,where shipowners were required to have protectionagainst personal injury, loss of life and collisionliabilities. Despite an earlier reluctance to offer P&Iinsurance, on December 8 the imposingly titledSveriges Ångfartygs Assurans Förenings DelägaresÖmsesidiga Försäkringsbolag ("Swedish SteamshipAssurance Club Members Mutual Insurance CompanyProtection & Indemnity") was founded. This provedto be one of the most important developments in

57

58

the Club's history. Forty years on, the P&I Club wasamalgamated with the Hull Club, in a first steptowards creating the total service concept offeredby the Club today.

The outbreak of war in 1914 presented the Clubwith new challenges and opportunities. Theorganization continued to offer hull cover formembers during the war and assisted members byarranging war cover. The Second World War alsopassed without major disruption to Club activities.The only significant change in the followingdecades came in 1969, with the development of anew hull reinsurance programme - an excess quotashare treaty placed mainly with Lloyd's of London.In 1984, the Club introduced a third main class ofinsurance, freight demurrage and defence (FD&D).

During the 1970s Swedish shipowners, until thenthe mainstay of the Club's success, began to selloff their vessels, preferring to charter-in tonnage.In response, the Club ventured into theinternational market and in early 1971 theFlowergate, owned by UK-based Turnbull Scott Ltd,became the first non-Swedish vessel entered in the

Club for Hull and Machinery cover. This marked thestart of a comprehensive internationalization of theClub. Two overseas offices were opened in quicksuccession, the first in Piraeus (1980) and thesecond in Hong Kong (1982), a process thatcontinued into the 1990s with the establishmentof service facilities in Tokyo in 1991 and, in 1992,the extension of the Club's Hong Kong office tobecome the Swedish Club Service Centre, reflectinga new emphasis on direct service to members inAsia.

Loss prevention, a priority for the Club since itpioneered pre-entry surveys back in 1872, wasgreatly enhanced in 1994, when the BridgeResource Management scheme was launched by TheSwedish Club and other founder members, includingthe Swedish and Norwegian Shipowners'Associations.

In 1996, the Club made a premium refund to ship-owners. A total of $3.5 million, or five per cent ofpremium, was distributed to members entered forhull insurance the previous year. The yearculminated in the Club receiving official

"An internationalcommunity of front rankshipowners"

recognition of its qualitymanagement systems with ISO9001 certification - proof of itsongoing commitment toquality.

Training and education!Analyses have shown that agreat many dangerousshipboard situations arise dueto poor communication orcoordination, rather thantechnical failures or lack ofskill.

Common causes include:

• A breakdown incommunication betweenindividuals• Preoccupation withminor technical problems• Failure to delegate tasks• Failure to detectdeviations from standardoperating procedures.

It was to overcome theseissues that the SwedishClub in the early 1990sjoined forces with sixother major maritimeorganisations and theSAS Flight Academy toestablish the globalBridge ResourceManagement (BRM)training initiative. Thetransfer of expertise in resource management fromthe civil aviation sector to the maritime industrieswas one of the central aims in developing the BRMCourse – the first-ever resource management train-ing course for the shipping industry.

Following further development of the originalcourse, The Swedish Club has replaced the trainingterm "BRM" with the new and more extensive term "MRM" – Maritime Resource Management.

The Club’s increased focus on human factor issues, and the growing demand for such training, led to a decision to in 2005 to form a separate businessunit responsible for the further development of the

MRM programme and relatedactivities.

Maritime Resource Management (MRM) is a trainingprogramme for ship's officers, engineers, pilots andshore-based personnel. The aim is to increaseknowledge about human capabilities andlimitations and to safeguard positive attitudes tosafety and teamwork. MRM is generally accepted tobe a most efficient means of improving crewcooperation and minimizing the risk of accidents.The number of MRM training providers worldwide israpidly increasing: the objective is that no oneshould need to travel far for training.

From Malmö to Shanghai"Shipping is probably the most international of theworld's industries, serving more than 90 per centof global trade by carrying huge quantities of cargocost effectively, cleanly and safely", says the WorldMaritime University on its website. "The ownershipand management chain surrounding any ship canembrace many countries and ships spend theireconomic life moving between different juris-dictions, often far from the country of registry.Therefore there is a need to regulate shipping byinternational standards."

That need has been met by the InternationalMaritime Organization, whose main task has beento develop and maintain a comprehensiveregulatory framework for shipping and its remit.

In the early 1980s, it was recognized within IMOthat there was a real shortage of well qualified,highly educated experts in around the world,particularly in developing countries. This led to theestablishment of World Maritime University by IMOin 1983.

The university was established thanks to thegenerosity of the Government of Sweden and the

City of Malmö, both of which provide significantannual financial support. Other donors and be-nefactors provided both operating funds andstudent fellowships, enabling the University’s firstclass to be inaugurated on 4 July 1983.

Today, there are over 2700 WMU graduates in (atlatest count) 157 countries across the globe. "Theyare shaping the maritime sector of today and lead-ing its development into the future", WMUcontinues. "They hold senior positions – topmanagers, ministers of transport, directors ofshipping companies, heads of maritime academies– as well as representing their home countries atinternational forums and organizations."

Describing itself as "an institution at the centre ofthe global network of maritime institutions, expertsand practitioners", WMU works with more than 100international experts and professionals, bothresident staff and visiting specialists, providinghigh-level technical education and research.Students are offered "direct and extensive accessto the most modern technologies and methods inmarine transportation and administration used inthe industrial world"; many are involved in a widerange of national and international researchprojects.

“Shipping is probably themost international of theworld's industries.”

61

WMU offers only postgraduate degrees: Doctor ofPhilosophy (PhD), Master of Science (MSc), andPostgraduate Diploma (PGD).

In Malmö, a programme leading to a Master ofScience in Maritime Affairs offers specialization inone of six areas: Maritime Safety & EnvironmentalAdministration, Maritime Law & Policy, MarineEnvironmental & Ocean Management, PortManagement, Shipping Management and MaritimeEducation & Training.

In China, the university offers a Master of Sciencein International Transport & Logistics, and a Masterof Science in Maritime Safety & EnvironmentalManagement in the cities of Shanghai and Dalianrespectively, designed and taught by WMU profes-sors.

WMU offers two PhD programmes: MaritimeAdministration, taught in Malmö, and Maritime Lawor International Commercial Law,taught jointly withthe Swansea University in Britain, plus a post-graduate Diploma in Marine Insurance by distancelearning, in association with Lloyd’s MaritimeAcademy.

An extensive programme of short-term professionaldevelopment courses attracts about 700 students

each year. These courses are closely linked tospecific units of the MSc programme which havebeen selected to offer high-quality professionalupdating. Individual clients can also arrange tailor-made executive development programmes.

WMU says it encourages applications from women,"who are currently under-represented in the fieldof maritime studies and employment".

Topped and tailedWe have ended this account of Swedish shippingas we began, with words of praise for the WorldMaritime University, its triumphs past and present,and its implicit faith in the future. What could bemore appropriate?

For all the challenges it now faces, Sweden's ship-ping industry has plenty of grounds for optimism.Its market position is secure. Competitors envy itsexpertise. And its superb educational programmeshave won it legions friends throughout the world.

Some of the grounds for such optimism are ondisplay in the next section of this publication: arepresentative selection of Swedish companieswhich stand to grow and prosper as Swedish ship-ping continues to move from strength to strength.

Tarbit mission statementThrough safety and environmental excellence should we offer our customers a long-term committed, reliable and cost-effectivetransport partner, by using fit-for-purpose built tonnage manned with experienced, motivated and well-trained seafarers.

New innovative tankersTarbit has continuously built new ships since 1999. The first two were Bithav delivered in 2000, and her sister ship Bitflower, delivered in 2003. Both were built in Holland. Building these special tankers demanded the company's collective know-howsince bitumen transport makes special demands in terms of design and operation.

The product and chemical tanker Bit Oktania delivered in 2004 is the company's first ship built outside Europe. Collaborationwith Shanghai Edward Shipyard in China has continued and a further two product and chemicals tankers of 25,000 dwt havebeen delivered 2006 and 2007. The new ships are being built according to a first-class standard for world-wide traffic and forenvironmentally-friendly transport. The company which collaborates with Skipskonsulent in Bergen, Norway, is directed at designing a ship with a high safety profile adapted to future tanker transports

The human factor makes the differenceMotivated staff with a high leve1 of skills are the key to secure transports and enhanced environmental awareness. All staff onboard are employed directly by Tarbit and the OSM office in Manila assists in recruiting Philippine officers and crew. The philosophyis to employ members of the fleet and school them in good seamanship and responsibility. But knowledge also needs to be estab-lished and maintained. This is why staff undergo continuous personal development at an individual level. The opportunities forpromotion and a career are vital for maintaining motivation among staff and are one of the cornerstones of our staff policy.

Successful modern tanker shipping demands teamwork, both at sea and ashore. The company actively supports a working environment based on open communication. Every body shall feel a sense of participation and have the fortitude to take responsibility when so required. Shared experience is the key to success.

blasting and coating

Premator AB

Since its origin in 1976 Premator has acted as a contractor in the field of qualified corrosion control, principallyin the maritime market. Already at the end of the ‘70s we carried out voyage repairs and water blasting, pioneeringtreatment techniques only recently applied as alternatives to conventional methods. Years of experience of workin different locations and markets resulted in development of close co-operation with shipyards worldwide. Benefiting from launching Premator Group and striving to achieve unity in everything it does, we guarantee ourcustomers the same high quality of performance, regardless of where the job is carried out. During the 35 yearsof Premator’s history we had the privilege to serve a large number of shipping companies who recognize and valuequality and the feedback has been unanimously positive. We are proud to receive top rating from numerous shipsuperintendents whose reports reveal that they had not experienced such quality before.

Ship RepairOver the years Premator has become a key player on the blasting and coating market of ship repair. The company has not onlyexpanded geographically by opening of new branches/offices, but also developed significantly in terms of new technology andexperience.

The techniques and options in corrosion prevention are varied, as are the merits of each approach. The true art is to melttogether the advantages of the different treatment methods available, creating a durable result. Premator does not prescribeone particular treatment method at the expense of another. Based on more than 35 years’ experience of surface treatment, wecan provide our customers with an honest chance to select a level suited to their budget.

Each and every Premator set-up is a division within the Premator Group. This means that they have the full support ofthe entire Premator Group in terms of resources for a specificproject. We have through technical developments designed anetwork of uniform worldwide equipment at all Premator locations. By doing so, the different sites are able to supporteach other for larger projects. This means that, with the Premator Group as the backbone of every Premator set-up, weare able to offer our clients a local capacity hard to find else-where, regardless of which Premator location you choose.

So, when it comes to docking of your vessel, keep us in mindand give us a call. We have full confidence in our potential toprovide you with a high quality cost effective surface treatmentwith on time delivery.

Tank CoatingTank coating is a general term that covers a lot of differentphases. No part can be weaker or less developed than the otherparts of what is a highly complex operation. We devote a greatdeal of time and effort to increasing the overall standard ofsurface preparation. This not only involves training and certi-fication but also years of experience out in the field. There isno doubt that an improved standard of surface preparation willextend the in-service lifetime of any tank coating. High qualityis the key to lasting performance and is by far the most economical method in the long term. Based on our experienceof water blasting and grit blasting and all types of manual andchemical rust removal, we help our customers to select a levelsuited to their budget and expected in-service lifetime.

New BuildingPremator New Building started when we became one of themain contractors in the very successful construction of Stena'snew passenger ferries, in Poland (1985-1988). Today Premator's characteristic orange banners marking our working sites canbe spotted all across the world.

If you compare the blasting and painting projects of Ship Repair to New Building you find New Building a completelydifferent story. Today it is common practice to contract sections or entire hulls to external workshops. Premator, as anactive partner already at the design stage, follows the vesselstep by step throughout her entire construction process. Ourinvolvement begins at the initial stage in external workshops;therefore sparing our customer the problems and conflicts thatmay appear when using many different contractors.

One example of this, in 2007 we started co-operation with theKleven Yard in Ulsteinvik, Norway. Projects launched from theKleven Yard include initial surface treatment on new vessels inPoland and finish treatment in Norway. This highlight ourglobal potential and the benefits to our customers. In practicewe are the best control solution, focusing on quality controland preliminary time schedules, on behalf of our client.

Premator gave surface treatment quality a new name.

Swede Ship Marine is a companyhousing three different specializedshipyards, Djupvik Shipyard, SwedeShip Composite and Swede Ship Ya-chtservice, all located on the westcoast of Sweden. Djupvik isconcentrating on aluminum andsteel production while “Composite”focuses on composite materials.The remaining yard is dedicated toservice and repair.

We have our own in-house design and engineering department, classifi-

cation experience with major classification authorities. Quality driven

organization and long term relationship with major suppliers give excel-

lent products to the gain for our customers.

Swede Ship is specialized in building in both aluminum and composite

materials and typical vessels are patrol- and surveillance boats, rescue

vessels, transport boats and smaller passenger vessels.

Recent and on-going important projectsA series of twelve 26m patrol boats is under construction for a Navy

within the GCC. The project is carried out in cooperation with a local

partner. This is a follow-up from two previous projects carried out re-

garding twelve 24m troop carriers and four fast supply vessels (FSV) in

cooperation with the same local yard and for the same customer. This

fast patrol boat design has also been built in an alternative version as a

command, control and communication center. Other applications may be

offered based on customer’s request.

Regarding rescue vessels the group has currently delivered four 17m high

speed boats built in aluminum for the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue.

This is one of the smallest vessels ever built and classed according to

DNV. Current production is a 23m rescue vessel (Fosen Class) for the same

customer and several 12m composite rescue vessels (Victoria Class) for

the Swedish Sea Rescue Society.

Alfa Laval

Do the right thing with PureThinking solutions A single drop of oil can kill a seabird. So imagine the toxic effectsthat one drop can have on microscopic marine organisms and thelong-lasting impact of disrupting the delicate marine food chainand causing genetic deformities. Then consider that nearly 10%of all oil entering the oceans each year is dumped into the sea asbilge oil.*

Simple marine conservationThere’s a simple way to help our oceans escape degradation: AlfaLaval PureBilge, one of the extensions of the company’s PureThinkingproduct range for the offshore shipping and marine sectors. Pure-Bilge is a fully automated centrifugal bilge water treatment systemthat cleans oily wastewater onboard vessels at sea.

It is the only system available today that provides a cleaning performance under real-life operating conditions of 0 to 5 ppm oilcontent in the water without the use of chemicals, adsorption filters or membranes. It is also the only system that is unaffectedby sea heave, oil shocks or high solids loading.

Proven at sea, Alfa Laval PureBilge is proof positive that oceancommerce and ocean conservation can co-exist.

Straightforward invasive species controlInvasive marine species can be as damaging to the oceans aswaste oil on commerce as well as conservation. Ships transfer morethan 10 billion tonnes of ballast water around the world each year.The North American comb jellyfish, red mysid shrimp and Chinesemitten crab, for instance, are three such invasive species along

with millions of microorganisms that have taken up residence inthe Baltc Sea.

PureBallast, Alfa Laval’s unique and chemical-free system for ballast water treatment, has proven its performance, reliabilityand ease of use since receiving full IMO Ballast Water Type Approval in 2007. Using Advanced Oxidation Technology, PureBallastneutralizes organisms of all sizes found in ship ballast water ren-dering it completely safe for discharge into the ocean.

The rate at which PureBallast has gained broad acceptance amongshipyards, ship owners and operators speaks volumes. Royal Australian Navy vessels, Norwegian shipyard Ulstein’s X-BOW® offshore supply vessel and arctic dual-mast drillship Stena DrillMAXICE will join PureBallast’s reference list of users, which includecruise liners, ice breakers, RoRo vessels, pure care/truck carriers,and LPG and bitumen tankers.

On the horizon is PureBallast 2.0 with reduced power consumption,more responsive control and a PureBallast EX version for use inpotentially explosive environments. PureBallast 2.0 makes AlfaLaval’s original clean technology even better.

Every drop of clean water that goes back into our oceans makes ahuge difference. That’s why we at Alfa Laval are committed toPureThinking solutions.

*Source: WWF. According to other sources, this percentage isroughly equivalent to 264 million litres of waste oil each year.

Alfa Laval PureBilge cleans oily wastewater onboard vessels under

real-life operating conditions down to 0 to 5 ppm oil-in-water content

At sea and in costal climates, the battle against unwanted moisture is endless, but winnable. Munters offers modernair intake systems that stop the threat from seaspray, rain and hail right at the bulkhead.

Ventilation systems for offshore platforms, engine room ventilation intakes and intakes for gas turbines need protectionfrom the worst offered by land and sea. Rain, hail, seaspray, snow and other airborne particles enter the ventilationsystem causing corrosion and wet filters. Engine room intakes require particular attention both for long-term protectionagainst corrosion and to keep engines running in critical situations.

Special care must be given to the air intakes when the temperature is close to or below 0°C. The risk for icing is high,therefore the mist elimination is effective only with additional heating devices.

In addition to all different weather conditions there are many types of harmful airborne solids to contend with, suchas cement dust, barites, drilling dust, flare carbon mud-burning smoke and blasting grits from maintenance activities.

Munters’ droplet separators and mist elimination systems are tailor-made and ready to install, where and when youwant them.

Marine and Offshore insulation

Paroc Group

The shipbuilding industry sets very high requirementsfor safety and comfort on board.

Products and constructions to be used for fire protectionmust be tested and approved according to the rules and regulations of IMO (International Maritime Organisation).

Ships sail in very different conditions, which set high require-ments for thermal insulations. Different kinds of machinery andequipment, passenger facilities, restaurants etc. need sufficientsound insulation to guarantee comfort on board.

Paroc offers economical and safe solutions. Highly developedproducts, manufactured for the current needs of the shipbuildingindustry and its subcontractors, are already widely used.

Paroc – The expert in insulation materialsThrough market knowledge and research conducted alongsideour customers, Paroc has secured its strong position as a manufacturer of insulating materials. All Paroc factories havea certified quality system.

PAROC® insulations meet requirementsPAROC insulations meet the requirements of their users in thefollowing areas:• Fire protection of constructions and components• Heating economy of ships and comfort of their passengers,heat and cold insulations

• Good acoustic properties of constructions and devices• Insulation materials used as surface materials are functionaland easy to clean

• Meeting the requirements of Classification Institutes and National Marine Authorities in accordance with the rules andregulations of IMO and the Marine Equipment Directive (mod-ules B and D).

Construction approvalsFire constructions used within shipbuilding and offshore mustbe tested for their fire resistance, in accordance with the rulesand regulations of the IMO.

Non-combustibilityPAROC insulations are manufactured from stone. Stone woolhas excellent properties as a passive guarantee of the firesafety of ships.

PAROC stone wool products are capable of withstanding hightemperatures. The binder starts to evaporate when its temper-ature exceeds approximately 200°C, and while the insulatingproperties remain unchanged, the compressive stress weakens.The stone wool products’ softening temperature is over1000°C.

Fire InsulationFire insulation on ships must meet very high requirements. Fur-thermore, functionality together with easy and fast installationhas become more and more important. To meet these require-ments, alternative solutions for different fire applications areneeded. Paroc has tested several A-class constructions fordecks and bulkheads, for steel and aluminium.

A functional insulation solution for car decks and engine roomscan be achieved using precoated slab and preformed insula-tions. Coated products ensure a clean and easily maintainedfinal surface.

Solutions for many applicationsThe purpose of PAROC Marine and offshore insulations is tooffer a solution for every part of the ship or offshore construc-tion where some kind of insulation is needed.

Many kinds of prefabricated products, for example insulationsfor cabins, panels, fire doors, ventilation machinery etc. areused in the shipbuilding industry. Manufacturers of these prod-ucts often require customer-specified and tailored solutions.

Paroc Group Oy Ab is one of the leading manufacturers of min-eral wool insulation products and solutions in Europe. PAROCproducts and solutions include building insulation, technicalinsulation, marine insulation, structural stone wool sandwichpanels and acoustics products.

Paroc has production facilities in Finland, Sweden, Lithuaniaand Poland and sales and representative offices in 13 countriesin Europe.

Scania Engines

Scania

We understand that the engine is the most important safetyfactor on board, and we build engines to meet every need –powerful, reliable, dependable engines with maximum uptimeand minimal downtime for service and maintenance. And nomatter which waters you ply, Scania has an organisation readyto serve your engine when it needs it. That’s power at work.

High output. Low weight.What type of engine do you need – a 12 litre straight six or apowerful 16 litre V8 with twin turbochargers? No matter whichyou choose, you gain the same Scania advantages. Our enginesdeliver high power output for their weight – more horse-powerper kilo. All are loaded with power, but they are loaded withother qualities too: proven low fuel consumption, excellent up-time, quality and overall economy.

Green today, green tomorrow.A Scania engine produces low emissions now and far into thefuture. We can easily handle the emissions requirements of both today and tomorrow – and with the same low fuel

consumption. Our combustion chamber design enables us tobuild clean engines without complicating installation. For you,the result is an engine with low emissions, high performanceand low operating costs. Our technical solutions ensure thatyour investment and your work will be green today and staygreen tomorrow.

Unique modular approach.One of the major advantages Scania engines provide is ourunique modular concept. We build all engine types with essen-tially the same components. The main difference is the numberof cylinders – 6 or 8. That means a lot to you as a marine customer – and to your customers. Because of our modular approach, every penny we invest in engine development benefits all engine types. And since every engine is built fromthe same basic components, it’s easy to keep spare parts instock and easy for service technicians to learn the engine –after all, they only have to deal with a single type. For yourcustomers, it means extra confidence and security thanks togreater availability, with short downtime for service and repairs.

Life at sea. Whatever the conditions, calm sea or hurricane winds, at the heart of the craft is an engine. On patrol,making a rescue, fishing, shipping cargo, auxiliary power. Displacing or aquaplaning. If you choose a Scania marineengine, you know you will never be becalmed.

Within the Scania engine range you will definitely find the marine power suitable for your needs and overall economy. Our12 litre engines have a power output range of 300 to 700 hp,and our 16 litre engines develop 525 to 800 hp. Their compactdesign makes it easy to install other engine-powered acces-sories, too, such as bilge pumps, ACcompressors, power take-offs, reverse gears or larger generators. All of the engines havecharge air cooling to maximise power output and minimiseemissions by cooling the intake air.

Power when you need it.Scania engines provide maximum torque at low revs – an important advantage in marine propulsion and auxiliary appli-cations. Planing vessels quickly pass the resistance thresholdto reach their cruising speed, while semiplaning vessels canoperate in the most suitable speed range with optimal fuelconsumption. Scania’s high-torque engines are well suited tocommercial crafts since they deliver full power at low revs. Scania engines are optimised for tough operating conditions,resulting in lower fuel consumption, less stresses and engine wear.

Compact and easy to package.Scania engines are very compact, with a favourable power-to-weight ratio. They are easy to build into any conceivablemarine application, and their compact dimensions result inmore space and easier access for service and inspection in theengine room.

Scania marine engines are designed for marine use from thevery beginning, resulting in a compact, robust, clean and reliable engine with long uptime between service and mainte-nance. Common components are an important advantage. Andthe engines are built to be served and repaired on site by asingle technician. That’s why we make all service points easilyaccessible, and that’s why each cylinder has an individual headthat can be removed and replaced by a single person.

Dual oil filtration system.All Scania engines have a unique oil filtration system that provides

maximum filtration and minimum wear. A full-flow paper filterremoves large particles and a centrifugal cleaner filters outsmall particles. Scania’s oil filtration remains unchallenged asthe best in its class, providing concrete benefits like betteroperating economy and lower environmental impact.

EMS and UI, inhouse technology helps improve the environment.Scania’s electronic Engine Management System (EMS) was developed inhouse, specifically for our engines. It is designedto stand up to heavy use and harsh conditions and is thus extremely dependable, and it makes a major contribution tocutting fuel consumption and emissions. The same is true ofthe Unit Injectors (UI) that are at the heart of the most reliable, well proven injection system on the market. It is arobust system for tough operating conditions.

Plug and play electrical system and instrumentation.With a Scania electrical system, you can be confident you aregetting maximum performance and the best possible overalleconomy from your Scania engine. The system and instrumenta-tion are custom-tailored to the EMS – and function optimallywith the intelligence built into the EMS.

The result? Better control functions, simple, understandablemonitoring, quick location of faults and programming optionsthat can be customised for the engine’s area of application.

Scania has been manufacturing engines for over a century. Overthe years, we have provided the world with several million engines. You can find them in trucks, buses and equipment ofall kinds as a source of power. Scania marine engines are approved by the major classification societies. Since all of ourengines employ the same basic technology, whether they areintended for trucks, buses or other applications, you are buyingone of the world’s most manufactured engines – from a com-pany that is devoted to research and development.

Increase days at sea

SKF Coupling Systems AB

Reliable oil injection methodMounting and dismounting of heavy marine components are simplified by the SKF oil injection method. Precision products like OK shaft and flange couplings, Supergrip boltsand marine hydraulic nuts are based on this technology reducing operations that tookhours or even days to a few, rapidly performed steps.

Over the life a ship, the savings from the SKF oil injection method are quite substantialin terms of reduced docking time and related costs.

OK shaft and flange couplingsWhen using the OK coupling in shaft connections, you exploit potent oil injection tech-nology. Preparation of the shaft is simple. No keyways to machine, no taper and no thrustrings. Ease of mounting and dismounting combined with high torquecapacity are characteristics of the SKF OK couplings.

The new OKX shaft and flange couplings for high-torque transmissionsThe OKX coupling facilitates new creative solutions in the shaft line. Since the torquecapacity is some 50 % higher, the coupling can withstand heavy shock forces and fast rotation switches. It is therefore possible to take advantage of the time-saving, oil injection method in transmissions where it previously was difficult, for instance, in largeheavily loaded shafts.

Marine hydraulic nutThe SKF oil injection method is an outstanding alternative for mounting and dismountingpropellers. It enables the driving of a 50-ton propeller up the shaft in twenty minutesand to dismount the propeller in ten minutes. The propeller is hydraulically pressed ontotapered seating by a hydraulic ring or nut. This is also the preferred method for mountingcomponents like rudder pintles and tillers when short service time is a requirement.

Supergrip boltsSupergrip bolts are a superior solution for connecting flange couplings. Compared withtraditional bolt systems, Supergrip bolts are much faster and easier to install and remove,take much less time, while fastening the coupling halves much more securely together.

Supergrip bolts are designed specifically for such high-torque applications as propellershaft and rudder assemblies. Using Supergrip eliminates uncertainty about the length ofdowntime for removing and installing the bolts.

Fully marine approvedSKF precision-made products and systems are installed in a wide range of marine vesselsall over the world. The products are approved for use by all leading international and national classification societies and regulatory bodies.

SKF technology quality and serviceSince we developed the oil injection method, we have carried the technology even further.Today, we continue to improve marine products saving time and money for carriers aroundthe world. Thanks to SKF’s global sales and service network, you can always find us inyour local market.

The original cable transit

MCT Brattberg

Based on the simple but clever idea of a frame with insertblocks and an end seal, The MCT Brattberg is the originaltransit system. The MCT Brattberg was patented in the early1950s. When oil rigs and nuclear power stations demandedcable and pipe installations with proven safety records, theMCT Brattberg system became a worldwide solution. Andwe’ve been improving it ever since. Comprehensive docu-mentation shows that its resistance to fire, water, gas andpressure meets the latest safety requirements.

Our own experience has shown that for a standard frameused for maritime applications, an internal width of 120.5mm +0.5 mm, a depth of 60 mm and wall thickness of 10mm are optimal window sizes for maintaining structuralstrength and for fitting insert blocks. The welded cornersare rounded for added strength. Both single and multipletransits frames are available.

The dimensions of the various frames have become the industry standard simply because these types of frame werefirst to be introduced and have proved successful over time.

The comprehensive range of frames, insert blocks and othercomponents of our transits provides remarkable applicationflexibility. We can seal cable and pipe diameters from 4-100 mm. Other dimensions can be supplied to order.

High quality products• The frames are strong enough to withstand extreme

conditions, e.g. shock and vibration of ship bulkheadsand decks. Each corner is multiple-welded (at least twowelds) to meet the requirements of a destruction test.Robotic welding is used to maintain uniform and consistent high-quality welds

• The insert blocks are made of Lycron, a self-extinguish-ing material and they are self-lubricating to facilitateinstallation. The material do not release corrosive gasseswhen subject to fire. The cable/pipe size can be clearlyidentified on each insert block.

Testing and certification• Testing and certification are carried out on all products

for safety and functionality according to the standardsof the major authorities. We holds a lot of certificatesfrom all main authorities such as Lloyd’s, DNV, ABS, Bureau Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd, RINA, USCG etc

• MCT Brattberg’s production process is assed and certifiedby DNV in accordance with ISO 9001 and 14001. Qualityand environmental assessmants are carried out twice annually.

FLOWTECH International ABwas founded in 1989 and has its offices in Gothenburg Sweden.

XPAN. Lead times are being shortened more and more in ship design, particularly at the initial phase. Many alternatives haveto be evaluated in a short period of time. Time can be saved by using the efficient potential flow panel methods, which predictimportant quantities like waves and wave resistance rapidly, yet with enough accuracy for hull ranking.

XCHAP. The SHIPFLOW unique overlapping grid method for the viscous solver gives a great advantage over other solutions.Within the system the engineers can easilygenerate good quality grids for hulls andappendages. There is a database of para-metric appendages for rudders, brackets,shafts, vortex generators, ducts andthruster ducts that can be easily createdand positioned. Additionally it is possi-ble to import grids from external gridgenerators. Available are also two propeller models and an open interfaceto other propeller simulation software.

SHIPFLOW - CFD for Naval Architects Over the past twenty years our software SHIPFLOW has developed into the world standard for ship hydrodynamics CFD. Developedby naval architects, physicists and numerical analysts, SHIPFLOW is optimized for ship hydrodynamics design. Specializationmeans efficiency and user-friendliness. No general purpose code can compete with SHIPFLOW in hull design: grids are automat-ically generated, resistance and propulsion data are presented using conventions from naval architecture, and the solvers areadapted for hull geometries.

SHIPFLOW Design – CFD/CAE/OptimisationThe Design Package is a suite of computer programs to be used by naval architects for advanced hydrodynamic design and optimisation of hull forms, appendages, energy saving devices etc. The package provides new possibilities to ship designers atthe crucial design stage of hull form development by closely coupling state-of-the-art CFD analysis and parametric CAD andformal optimization capability.

KTH - Royal Institute of TechnologyThe Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga TekniskaHögskolan), KTH, is responsible for one- third of Sweden’s ca-pacity for engineering studies and technical research at post-secondary level. The university has over 12,000 undergraduatestudents, 1,600 active postgraduate students and a staff of3,000 people.

Centre for Naval ArchitectureAt KTH, the educational efforts within field of maritime engi-neering is performed by the Centre for naval architecture whichis a division under the School of Science. The Centre for navalarchitecture was founded in 2001 and has since continuouslybeen developing both research and undergraduate education.The research is focus on seakeeping, loads/responses and mod-elling and design of high speed craft. Fluid-structure interac-tion and wave induced loads are along with compositemechanics, sandwich structures and structural optimizationsome of the current research topics. Through the research astrong coupling between analysis and experimental results isemphasized both in model scale and in full size scale.

EducationNaval architecture is an internationally well-established fieldof engineering, and this two year educational programmemeets the international understanding of a Master of Scienceprogramme.

Naval architecture is a multi-disciplinary subject with a strongemphasis on systems engineering. A naval architect needsknowledge about the complete processes of conception, de-sign, implementation and operation of boats, ships and othermarine installations. In addition a naval architect needs a deepunderstanding of structural and fluid mechanics and relatedtopics, for example the modelling and analysis of water waves,sea loads, ship motions, stability, seakeeping, manoeuvring,propulsion, and hull structural design. The multi-disciplinarycharacter of the subject and the curriculum of this programmemake the education relevant for careers not only in the mar-itime sector, but also in other fields.

The primary challenge for the future is to develop a sustainablesociety with sustainable transport systems. In the maritimesector this involves further improvements in energy efficiencythrough new ship designs, new propulsion systems, and theapplication of new lighter structural materials. It also involvesimproved management and logistics, which consider the com-plete transport chain. Other challenges are to develop tech-niques for conversion of the energy in the ocean waves andcurrents for human needs. The objective of this Master of Sci-ence Programme in Naval Architecture is to educate moderncreative engineers who are capable of meeting these chal-lenges and of contributing to developing society in a soundand sustainable direction. Within the masters programme, thestudents can choose any of the following specializations

- Lightweight structures- Fluid mechanics- Management- Sustainable development- Sound and vibration

The education in Naval Architecture at KTH is to a large extentinfluenced by the active involvement in the CDIO initiative.CDIO is an innovative educational framework for producing thenext generation of engineers. It provides students with an ed-ucation stressing engineering fundamentals set in the contextof Conceiving - Designing - Implementing - Operating real-world systems and products. The CDIO Initiative was developedwith input from academics, industry, engineers and students.The education also involves a high profile capstone designcourse in which up to 20 students in cooperation goes throughthe whole cycle of the development of a maritime product, i.e.Conceive-Design-Implement and Operate.

specialized inspectors

AlfaTest

AlfaTest’s team of qualified inspectors specialize in Hull Inspection for the heavy Marine industry. We combine ClassApproved Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) with detailed ballast tank inspection (TCA) and reporting.

Certified by five IACS approved Classification Societies – LR,DNV, GL, BV, ABS; as well as the world’s two leading corrosionprevention organizations – FROSIO and NACE; AlfaTest personnelare trained to carry out detailed on board inspections profes-sionally. We work closely with the owner’s Technical Depart-ments, offering valuable assistance with the navigation of theprocesses of Special, Renewal and Intermediate Surveys.

We are approved to use four certified methods of Non DestructiveTesting – VT (Visual Testing), UT (Ultrasonic Testing), MT (Magnetic Testing), PT (Penetrant Testing)

Our easy-to-read reports provide enough clear, detailed infor-mation to enable our customers to plan.

UTM (Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement)Being a good UTM company requires expertise in UltrasonicTesting, steel inspections, ship construction and a thoroughunderstanding of IACS repair and survey rules.

Being the best UTM company however, takes that and quite abit more, as general manager Mark Denny explains. “Our company has been customer driven since its beginning in2004. We identified very early that in most cases our customerswork under enormous pressures, often with near impossibleschedules and severe financial restraints. Our mission is to helprelieve our customers of some of these pressures”.

TCA Program (Tank Condition Assessment)Among our team we have both FROSIO and NACE certified Coating Inspectors. While on board and in the ballast tanks, itmakes sense that our inspectors are not only skilled with steelconstruction and UTM, but also with piping systems, soundingsystems, cathodic protection and Coating Determination.

We are 3rd party and have no vested or conflict of interestsand we take pride in our work which is to inspect, identify,suggest remedies and provide follow up services where necessary.

1. PlanningCrucial to a smooth and cost-effective process, we take plan-ning seriously and exchange all relevant information with shipand technical departments before going on board.

2. ExecutionProfessional, skilled inspectors work methodically through theagreed scope of works and always in cooperation with officers,ship’s routine and charter.

3. ReportingIt is critical that official Class reports are correctly presentedand submitted on time. It is equally critical that “owner only”reports are clear, concise, easily understood, and that theycontain all relevant information needed to establish a com-plete scope of works for the next planned repair period.

4. Follow ThroughThe key to ensuring a professional repair is supervision at thedockyard. Alfatest can act on the owner’s behalf to ensure allrepairs are carried out in accordance with IACS rules and atthe agreed price. This means that the superintendent’s valuabletime can be then allocated to the other important jobs goingon simultaneously during a docking. Upon completion, repairsare calculated to the Kg.

Alfa Design LtdThrough our partner company in Kaliningrad, Alfa Design Ltd, we offer the services of our professional team of Naval Architects, Marine and Civil Engineers. New design, modeling,refits, lofting drawings, stability calculations and drafting assistance are among our key services. We use Auto Cad Inventor and Ship Constructor programs.
