Foreword by Lennart Fougelberg President Swedocean
Swedish Shipping
On February 6th, an article entitled ”The Sulphur Should Reek More” (original headline: Svavlet borde osa mer) was published in the Swedish daily Dagens Industri, in which the chairman of The Swedish Forest Industries Federation predicted that ‘it will become cheaper to ship a ton of pulp from Brazil to Rotterdam than to ship the same ton from Sundsvall,’ after the introduction of the SOx regulations concerning bunker oil (the sulphur content requirement of 0.1% in 2015).
8
Sweden is the largest exporter of forest raw materials in the Nordic region, but Finland also exports significant volumes. It’s not just forest products that are affected: all imports and exports crossing the Baltic, North Sea and the English Channel are also impacted upon. The increased cost of shipping in these areas is likely to hit the already vulnerable Swedish shipping industry hard. Already, the politicians only give the industry small hand outs in the form of travel grants for officer cadets etc., and it appears that the issues surrounding shipping are to be examined once again - the cow is starving while the grass grows.
I quote from the same article in Dagens Industri: ‘The unilateral restrictions on sulphur in shipping fuel will lead to closures and redundancies within Swedish industry. But above all, it will lead to a fall in investment. It won’t be possible to recoup the extra costs that the sulphur restrictions entail.’
In an earlier Swedish Shipping, I wrote in my foreword about the investment in the new national stadium in Stockholm. This has been to the tune of 2 billion SEK, and perhaps I sounded critical when I compared that to how difficult the decision was to decide to renovate or expand the Trollhätte locks and secure the future of shipping on the Göta Älv River and Lake Vänern. I haven’t heard anybody comment on what I said, even it could be said the two issues have nothing in common. Anyway, the investment in a national stadium is a brilliant initiative and the football match versus England with Zlatan’s wonder goal made for a fine start. The arena has already attracted world-leading teams like Argentina here. Now all that remains to do is invest in the Göta Älv River and Trollhätte locks in order to secure the possibility of Inland Waterways, and one successful venture doesn’t have to exclude the other.
Swedish Shipping
How should the shipping companies prepare for this adjustment of sulphur content in bunker oils? You hear remarkably little about this considering that 2015 isn’t very far away and the adjustment applies to many ships, if we are to convert engines and tanks to operate on LNG, Methanol or Petroleum. The most costly and time-consuming option will probably be the installation of scrubbers, and this should primarily be the case on tonnage constructed relatively recently. Another issue that hasn’t, to my knowledge, been addressed is what the oil companies are doing in preparation for supplying large volumes of these new fuels - all with a maximum sulphur content of 0.1%.

What’s Next? The maritime industry goes from cycle to cycle, living with uncertainty. This makes “What’s next?” a relevant question – and one that gets interesting responses. Expect it to be prominent during Nor-Shipping 2013. We began to ask this question during Nor-Shipping 2011, reflecting our theme “Next Generation Shipping”. The standing-room only audience at the Opening Conference listened attentively as industry heavyweights and rising stars shared their insights and visions for the future, creating very lively discussion. In 2013, we will continue the conversation, exploring the industry’s future via our conferences and the other valueadded events that complement the exhibition.

Offshore shipping plays an increasing role in the industry, as demonstrated by the great interest in Nor-Shipping’s first-ever Agenda Offshore conference, a meeting place for oil companies and the offshore shipowners and players on whom they depend. Networking across segments and generations Nor-Shipping is an established high-level networking arena, and we are keen to create new channels for sharing business insight so that our delegates have an unbeatable range of opportunities for professional networking and socializing. The exhibition and conference create a framework for invaluable meetings to take place, and we will continue to maximize this aspect of the event week, recognizing that the most important conversations don’t always happen in a meeting room.
Staying ahead The necessity to stay ahead of the “what’s next” curve is not just relevant for our stakeholders but also for Nor-Shipping itself.
We want no generation gaps at Nor-Shipping as we build our online community and use social media that strengthens the physical event and appeals to the younger generation. This increased online visibility complements our initiative to raise wider awareness of the industry. As shipowner Felix Tschudi said at the Oslo Maritime Week event, shipping is taken for granted, unless something goes wrong.
During our 50-year history, we have developed from a niche shipbuilding exhibition into a weeklong industrywide event with conferences, professional networking gatherings, countless other activities and the exhibition at the center of it all.
Attracting young talent is crucial for the maritime industry’s future. Our efforts towards this include Ocean Talent Camp, a city center-based offshoot of the main exhibition, with a mission to attract and engage young people to a career in shipping, as well as to promote the industry to the general public.
Our latest expansion is strengthening our conference program to include the offshore maritime segment. Norway, with the second largest offshore service vessel fleet in the world and expertise in deepwater, harsh environment oil drilling, is a natural location for such an event.
In its first year (then called Nor-Shipping Campus), nearly 10,000 people, from students and the media to politicians and maritime heavyweights, visited the event, which housed exhibitions by more than 40 representatives of Norway’s maritime cluster.
New initiatives Our aim in 2013 is both to improve on our successes and raise the bar by broadening Nor-Shipping. Many new initiatives are in the works.
Look to Norway While our visitors come from around 80 countries, the Norwegian maritime cluster’s strong presence at NorShipping is an attraction for our international delegates.
These include: “Innovation Park”, where small, innovative Norwegian companies with relevant solutions or products present themselves; “Venture”, a matchmaking arena for capital-hungry companies and investors that includes a central location at the exhibition; and Nor-Shipping Forum, where industry leaders meet with partners and competitors in a more intimate setting, with free and open discussion enabled by the confidentiality of Chatham House Rules.
Norway is home to the most complete maritime cluster in the world, with every part of the value chain represented. The result is unique multi-party collaboration, innovation and competence – all of which are on display at NorShipping.
Expanding our support of the industry, Nor-Shipping played a key role in establishing Oslo Maritime Week. Organized by the Norwegian maritime cluster for local and international peers, it focuses on diverse maritime services via hot-topic seminars and social events that encourage cross-industry networking.
CEO of I.M. Skaugen Morits Skaugen says, “To help NorShipping prosper is key for the whole community. I think that is why I believe so much in this (Oslo) Maritime Week concept. Having it in the leap years keeps the flame kindled.”
The future is maritime Our emphasis on the question “What’s next?” demonstrates that Nor-Shipping is oriented towards the future. While predicting the future may be impossible, we know that bringing the right people together and providing them with a dynamic networking venue makes things happen. Just ask Sevan Marine’s Arne Smedal and Teekay Corporation’s Peter Evensen who met during our 2011event week. They worked throughout the following summer on a business model that would help save Sevan, which was struggling with high debt. That autumn, Sevan announced an agreement for financial restructuring and industrial partnership with Teekay. We look forward to welcoming you to Nor-Shipping 2013.
Swedish Shipping
Taking place every second year, Oslo Maritime Week alternates with Nor-Shipping. The synergies created by these events create a powerful momentum for raising the region’s international profile in the maritime industry. Thanks to positive response to 2012’s inaugural event, the next is set for May 2014.
Research was recently commissioned from Menon Business Economics to clarify the role of Oslo as compared to other leading maritime cities. It confirms that Oslo is one of the top five global maritime capitals, shoulder-to-shoulder with Singapore, London, Hamburg and Hong Kong.

Chapter 1:
Opening a small door to a big future A fascinating sidelight on the potential that makes liquefied natural gas (LNG) such an exciting energy source of the future is the possibility that it will become a ship fuel as well. The introduction in 2015 of emission control areas in Europe, which would cut the sulphur dioxide ships can legally emit into the air, adds an urgent dimension to the debate. In 2011 Sweden opened a small door towards this changed but promising future. An LNG terminal opened at Nynäshamn, just outside Stockholm, the first facility of its kind in the Baltic Sea area. Promoted by the Linde Group and AGA Gas AB, the terminal with a capacity of 250,000 tonnes is primarily to be used to import LNG into the country. It is supplying LNG to a local refinery for use in its desulphurisation process. A secondary use is to make LNG available as a back-up to biogas, with the intention of stimulating the transition to the use of natural gas in central Sweden.
Swedish Shipping
Separately, the Port of Gothenburg in the summer of 2011 said it was hopeful of opening a dedicated LNG terminal in 2013. The port has joined up with LNG GOT, a co-operation between Göteborg Energi and Gasnor. Prospects for the success of the project were strengthened in October 2012 by the signature of a new alliance between the Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe, and the Port of Gothenburg, with the aim of speeding up the establishment of LNG as a maritime fuel. Göteborg Energi said in December 2012 that it was committed to proceeding with the environmental application for a terminal, but was open to finding some other stakeholder to realise it.
12
The macroeconomic goals behind these projects are in keeping with the growing stature of LNG as the energy source of the future, one that burns cleaner and is economically viable as well. However, there is a heartening sidelight to the Linde/AGA terminal – its potential use as a depot of fuel for LNG-powered ships. Norway’s success over the previous five years in building a small fleet of LNG-powered tonnage – around two-dozen ships, including a handful of ferries at last count – has caught the world’s attention. Countries such as the US have paid lip service to the theoretical benefits of converting their own coastwise tonnage to LNG power. However, these pronouncements have tended to remain merely words. Sweden appears to be the first country to have taken actual action. The Linde/AGA terminal, while outwardly geared towards selling large lots of LNG to land-based industry, also has laid a small foundation for facilitating the development of an LNG-powered fleet as LNG slowly becomes viable as a ship fuel. The project promoters hope to use the facility as an import point as well, and the terminal could well become the first in the Baltic region that supports refuelling of LNG-powered ships.
Within the microcosm of 2011, the Linde/AGA terminal was one of the “highlights” of Swedish shipping. However, the “small beginning on a big road” nature of this story dovetails neatly with Sweden’s historic maritime stature. Sweden is a fairly small shipping nation compared with its Nordic neighbours, ranking around number 42 in the world, as against Norway at number 19 and Denmark at 27 in
2012. According to statistics from HIS Fairplay, updated by the national transport analysis bureau, Trafikanalys, as of 31 December 2011, the Swedish-flag merchant fleet comprised 375 vessels. A total of 155 were cargo ships, made up of 38 tankers, six bulkers and 111 dry cargo vessels. Swedish owners had a further 20 ships on order, with a total dwt of 671,490, according to December 2012 data from consultants maritimeinsight. The passenger fleet totalled 220. There were 55 ferries.
the average Swedish seafarer contributes SEK 700,000 to the nation’s GDP, while the shipping cluster as a whole generates SEK 104 billion.
The number of employees on Swedish ships rose in 2012 for the first time since 2007, by 10%. At the end of September, there were 10,222, of whom 2,713 were women, an increase of 35%. Of the total, 56% are Swedish citizens.
Companies and cargoes Although the shipping industry has generally enjoyed record markets and freight rates in recent years, freight costs for consumer goods have historically been low, while improvements in technology and efficiency have helped ensure maritime transport costs remain very competitive. Shipping is by far the most cost efficient transport in Sweden; interestingly, while rail and road transport benefit from governmental funding, the shipping industry is self-sufficient.
Overall, the sector has grown steadily since the early 1990s. The Swedish Shipowners’ Association (Sveriges Redareförening) estimates that domestic shipping has risen by 40 per cent since 2004, while the value of Swedish exports and imports has increased by almost half since 1990, the association Ports of Sweden, reported in a recent presentation. A cluster analysis by the University of Jönköping a few years ago found that
Sweden’s major deep sea shipping companies include Wallenius Lines, Broström and Stena Line. Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines and EUKOR are examples of international co-ownership, by Swedish Wallenius Lines and Norwegian Wilhelmsen Lines. The purchase by Danish A.P. Møller-Maersk A/S of Broström in 2009 created the world’s leading product tanker company with more than 225 operating vessels.
Swedish Shipping 13
However, the typical Swedish shipowning company is fairly small, sometimes family-owned, with a modest fleet operating in the Nordic/Baltic region. There are about 140 such companies, engaged both in passenger traffic and cargo transport. Data from Trafikanalys showed that at the end of 2010, Sweden had 1,469 shipowners and ports in the entire cluster, compared with 1,399 in 2008. In 2010 there were 1,251 shipowners only, according to Trafikanalys.
Swedish Shipping
Gothenburg, Sweden’s second biggest city and the largest port, is also the most specialized, with its concentration of shipping brokers, followed by Stockholm and Helsingborg. Latest figures from the Swedish Shipowners’ Association in January 2013 indicate that the Swedish maritime cluster employs around 110,000 people. Of these, 7,000 are at sea, about 4,000 in shipping offices and shipbrokers, 5,000 in ports and the rest in various support services to the shipping industry.
14
Many of the cargoes entering Sweden have been reloaded from ocean-going to short sea vessels at the hub ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp or Hamburg. Around 90 per cent of all imports and exports went to and from Sweden by sea, according to latest government figures. Trafikanalys reported that in the second quarter of 2012, 44.3 million tonnes of goods were handled in Swedish ports. For the same period in 2011 the figure was 45.4 million tonnes; but the second quarter 2012 figure was an improvement over the 43.1 million tonnes recorded in the first quarter of 2012. Overall, the projection for 2011 is that volumes will stabilise at or around the pre-financial crisis performance of 178 million tonnes in 2008. Oil is the most important cargo by weight, and Trafikanalys data shows that 5.5 million tonnes of crude oil, grouped together with coal and natural gas, were exported in the second quarter of 2012. This showed a slight dip from the first quarter with
5.6 million tonnes, but was an improvement from the total of 4.6 million tonnes in Q2 2011. In addition, petroleum product exports reached 3.5 million tonnes in the second quarter, up from 2.6 million tonnes in the first three months of 2012. Pulp and paper and other forestry-related industries are big in Sweden, and here the need for heavy transport is considerable: Pulp, paper and newsprint exports fell in Q2 2012 to 0.62 million tonnes from 0.9 million tonnes in the first quarter. This was a marked decrease from the 1 million tonnes in Q2 2011. Trafikanalys also reported exports of steel and iron ore rising sharply from Q1’s 0.12 million tonnes to 0.21 million tonnes in the second three month period of 2012.
of UmeĂĽ to Vasa in Finland, and from the southern port of Helsingborg to Elsinore, Denmark. Domestic passenger traffic is no less important, with 1.7 million or more passengers sailing to and from Gotland in a typical year. The port of Stockholm is a major regional hub for ferries to Finland and the Baltic states. Trafikanalys reported that 7.8 million passengers were transported to and from Sweden during the second quarter of 2012. The number of arriving passengers from other countries was 6.9 million. 40 per cent of the arriving passengers came from Danish ports, 33 per cent from Finnish ports and 8 per cent from German ports.
About 28.5 million passengers travel by ferry every year, the shipowners organisation says, by about 40 different routes covering the length of Sweden, e.g. from the northern city

Chapter 2:
History in the making Shipping has always been a fundamental means of transport in Sweden, a country with a long coast-line, criss-crossed by innumerable lakes and rivers. The Vikings, whose heyday spanned the eighth to eleventh centuries AD, were of course seafarers, warriors, tradesmen... and splendid ship builders. Their longships averaged 6-8 knots with a top speed of 14 knots, while their slower deep sea merchant vessels were built wider for storage. As the shipbuilding industry evolved, a smaller ship using sails and fewer oars, the knarr, was developed for trading. From the 12th to 17th centuries, the Hanseatic League of German merchants established a trade monopoly 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 this period. In 1252 the Swedish king Birger Jarl allowed the Hanse to settle in the Swedish capital of Stockholm provided they observed Swedish laws; in other cities, such as Kalmar, German traders were part of the city council. The Hanse helped to control hijacking and piracy while standardizing maritime and mercantile legislation.
Swedish Shipping
The most important vessel during the Hanse era was the cog, a hefty freight-carrying ship, generally built of oak and fitted with a single mast and a square-rigged single sail.
16
Sweden at war During the Middle Ages – in particular, from 1000 AD, when Christianity was introduced to Sweden, to 1520, when Gustav Vasa was elected regent – universal conscription applied when Sweden was at war. Warships built for heavy artillery put in an appearance from the early 16th century. Battle would commence with cannon fire at close quarters, followed by boarding. By the 17th century, tactics had changed: two columns of warships would fire broadside at each other in a “line of battle”; the heavy-duty vessel involved, known as the “ship-of-the-line”, saw action well into the 19th century. By the 17th century Sweden had become an important military power in northern Europe. As the most sought-after wood for building war-ships was oak, King Gustav II Adolf ordered a number of oak plantations, the descendants of which are still in evidence in the south of the country. Many great warships were built during the 17th century. In 1625, when Sweden was at war with Poland, King Gustav II Adolf ordered, among others, the Vasa, built in Stockholm in 1628 by an experienced Dutch shipbuilder – which sank during her maiden voyage. Vasa was powerful, with 64 cannons on two rows of decks. She capsized just after the sails had been set, sinking rapidly because the cannon ports were open. Up to a third of the 150 people on board went down with the ship. Such tragedies were
not uncommon during this period, when ships were designed to fixed proportions. Those used for Vasa made her top-heavy, with her massive cannons positioned too high in the ship, and insufficiently ballasted. Salvaged in 1961, Vasa is arguably the world’s best preserved 17th century ship, with her own museum in Stockholm.
The mighty windjammer The legendary windjammer, the grandest of merchant sailing ships, was a 3-5 masted cargo ship with an iron or steel hull. Long past its heyday in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and notwithstanding the introduction of the steamship, windjammers continued to be used as trade ships by conservative shipowners. A great many Swedish seafarers found work on board the windjammers harboured at the Swedish-speaking Finnish archipelago of Åland, where from around 1850, the great ships transported fish and wood to the mainland, eventually sailing as far as Australia for cargoes of wheat. Windjammers continued in ocean-going traffic until 1949, when the shipowner Gustaf Eriksson decided to lay up his windjammers Pamir and Passat. Today another of his fleet, Pommern, built in 1903, is a museum ship moored next to the Åland maritime museum in the western harbour in the capital, Mariehamn.
The age of steam The first Swedish steamship, Amphitrite, was constructed by the British engineer, inventor and industrialist Samuel Owen in 1818, a good ten years after the launch of the first commercial steamboat in the United States. Like its predecessor, Amphitrite was driven by a large paddle wheel. By 1825, Owen had built five steamships operating out of Stockholm. These were mainly passenger ships on regular routes to nearby cities. Many of the steamships built in Sweden in 19th century are still operating regular schedules. Although propellers had been developed as early as 1810, they were inefficient and seldom used. It was a Swedish-born (in the county of Värmland, 1805) American engineer and inventor, John Ericsson, who first introduced the use of the screw propeller: it was mounted on the schooner Robert F. Stockton, which became the first propeller-driven ship in use in the U.S. In 1843, the propeller-driven SS Princeton won a speed
Swedish Shipping 17
competition against the steamer SS Great Western, which had until then been regarded the fastest steamer. This victory was the breakthrough for the new technology.
Swedish Shipping
Ericsson was also responsible for the armoured vessel Monitor, which famously sank the Merrimack at the American Civil War Battle of Hampton Roads, Virginia, in 1862 – an epic moment in naval history.
18
Dynasty! The Axel Johnson Group is a diversified Swedish fourthgeneration family-owned company, now worth several billions of dollars, which traces its origins to the trading company A. Johnson & Co, founded in 1873. Axel Johnson bought his first steamship in 1885, fuelling it with imported coal from Hull. He subsequently founded the shipping company Rederi AB Nordstiernan (also known as Johnson Line), commissioned a
series of large steamships and, in 1904, started Sweden’s firstever regular service to South America. After Axel Johnson’s death in 1910 his son Axel Ax:son Johnson took over the business. Two years later he ordered a pair of diesel-engine ships. Not only were the new ships faster than both the steamship and the windjammers; because the engines demanded less space, there was more room for the
cargo – a huge competitive advantage. It would be some years before any Swedish shipping company emulated Johnson; in the meantime, the world was his oyster. When the Panama Canal opened in 1914 Nordstiernan expanded the routes to the South- and North American west coasts: the Pacific Line. After 1918 and the end of First World War, Nordstiernan sold all their steam ships and ordered
Swedish Shipping 19
motor ships with refrigeration for cargo and increased space for passengers. The shipping company continued to expand between the wars and after the Second World War. When Axel Ax:son Johnson died in 1958 the company had 40 ships, 35 of them on specific routes. In 1968 the shipping company started with container traffic, and two years later expanded with the purchase of a passenger company, Rederi AB Svea. However, a decade later the company started to phase out its shipping interests; the remaining shipping business, Laser Lines, co-owned with a Finnish company, was sold at the beginning of the 1990s to Süd-Amerika Line in Hamburg. RoRo, LoLo and other stories At the beginning of the Fifties, Wallenius Lines, founded in 1934, was an early entrant in the vehicle transport stakes. Volumes increased rapidly, but it was hard work: cars were transported in wooden boxes, each of which had to be hoisted on board and off again at the destination. As LoLo (Lift onLift off) was time-consuming and not terribly profitable for wheeled cargoes, the company decided to develop a new type of vessel. The result, christened Aniara, was launched in 1963. As Wallenius tells it in its year-by-year corporate history... “1963: RoRo: a Wallenius idea: Wallenius Lines’ newly developed cargo handling system changes the face of car carrying. The vehicles are loaded on to the vessels via stern or bow ramps instead of with cranes. The RoRo system (Roll-on-Roll-off) is born. Cargo handling becomes both quicker and safer. “MS Aniara is the company’s, and the world’s, first RoRo vessel. The technology is still in its infancy and the first vessels are small and designed for short-sea shipping. MS Aniara has the capacity to carry 240 cars.”
Swedish Shipping
And later that year...”Transoceanic car capacity increases: 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 technique is still only used for local shipping. These new vessels are to operate on transoceanic routes and are combined car/bulk carriers. When carrying cars, car decks are mounted into the hold and are dismantled again for bulk cargoes. The technique is labour intensive and Wallenius becomes, apart from the local stevedore companies, the largest employer in many international ports.”
20
In 1999, Wallenius merged with Norway’s Wilhelmsen Lines, forming a joint commercial and operating company named Wallenius Wilhelmsen. With scores of RoRo vessels between them, the merger made the new company the largest of its kind in the world. The Wallenius and Nordstiernan sagas are fine examples – if any more were needed – of the innovative drive that characterizes Sweden’s shipping industry. Eastern approaches The importance of the Swedish mercantile tradition in the development of the shipping industry must not be underestimated. A prime mover in this respect was the Swedish East India Company (Svenska Ostindiska kompaniet), founded in Gothenburg in 1731. Following the trail blazed by the Dutch and the British East India Companies, the venture grew to become the largest trading entity 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 named William Chalmers set off for China as representative of the company in Canton, where a number of European trading stations had been established near the anchorage of Wampoa. Almost 30 years later, having made his fortune and returned to Gothenburg, Chalmers left part of his estate to found an “industrial school for poor children, who have learned to read and write”: the precursor to Chalmers University of Technology, one of Sweden’s most distinguished academic institutions.
During this period the Swedes exported iron and wood products to Cadiz, where they bought silver to 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, provoked criticism that the company was exporting valuable goods only to import rubbish.
of sensational expeditions, most notably to Antarctica. When one of his ships, a rebuilt whale catcher suitably named “Antarctic”, sank under dramatic circumstances, Nordenskjöld and his colleagues were rescued after some months by an Argentine Navy corvette. Another of his ships, the Uruguay, is on show in the port of La Boca, the old seamen’s quarter of Buenos Aires.
Deep south Around the turn of the last century, Otto Nordenskjöld, a geologist, geographer, and polar explorer, mounted a number

agreement for the deep-water facility’s management and operations. This calls for significant upgrading investment, including three new super-post Panamax cranes to handle the largest vessels coming into service.
A combination of trade growth and Sweden’s geographical location will make this possible. According to the Swedish Maritime Technical Forum (Svenskt Marintekniskt Forum), world trade will at least double over the next decade, economic crises notwithstanding. As Sweden is situated on the outskirts of the European Union, logistics – creating and maintaining an efficient transport chain – is crucial.
In all three instances, the main attraction for the private party introduced into the picture as concessionaire is understood to be Gothenburg’s desire to become a transit hub for freight volumes destined for the Baltic region, particularly Russia.
The shipping companies’ vessels can be seen as links in the chain, which includes deep sea vessels, feeder vessels and land transport.
Swedish Shipping
However, ports and the country’s intermodal network are the cornerstone of Sweden’s ambitions in the Baltic trade zone. Although Trafikanalys statistics for 2010 warned that cargo volume growth at the nation’s ports might be at a temporary standstill, the potential for the future appeared unmistakeable. This caution was borne out in the actual 2011 figures (from the Swedish Transport Administration), which show that total shipping traffic volume dipped slightly to 34.6 billion tonne kilometres from 35.0 billion tonne kilometres the previous year, though this was said to be related in part to winter problems. However, railways and commercial vehicle transport were also affected by this, so the consequences for shipping were relatively minor. Swedish ports have started to lay the groundwork with this future in mind. Gothenburg reported that the number of containers exported via the port during the first six months of 2012 rose by 3 per cent, setting a new volume record and reflecting strong Swedish export volumes to markets outside Europe. Malmö completed its move to the new north harbour and, as already reported, Stockholm opened its LNG terminal in Nynäshamn. Of the trio, Gothenburg’s expansion blueprint is the most substantive. As of autumn 2011, the port had completed two-thirds of a privatisation process designed to improve profitability and shape future growth. Logistics group Logent was awarded a 10-year concession to run the car terminal, while a joint venture between DFDS and Cobelfret was given a 25-year concession to run the ro-ro terminal. The final phase of the privatisation, the container terminal, was officially handed over to APM Terminals in January 2012. The terminal operating company, Skandia Container Terminal AB, has been renamed APM Terminals Gothenburg AB. The Port of Gothenburg will continue to own the land, quays and buildings, but has awarded APM Terminals a 25-year concession
22
Stockholm, for its part, is laying the groundwork for a planned container terminal in Nynäshamn. The Swedish intermodal system also will play a role in this growth. The government has blueprinted an expansion of a railway corridor from Gothenburg industrial harbour to the main line out of the city, a project that will require a new bridge over River Göta. Port officials have pushed the government to speed up this project, because they believe the increased demand will come sooner than people believe. Owners hold their own While the logistics and ports sectors evolve around them, Swedish owners continue with typical aplomb. As full-service operators, large shipping companies such as Transatlantic and Wallenius are constantly engaged in developing system solutions for controlling the entire chain. In recent years, cargo handling and tracking systems have enabled the client to see the position of the cargo in the chain at any given moment while keeping an eye on forwarding and storage.
Wallenius even has its own inland logistics division offering “global factory-to-dealer integrated logistics solutions”. Once the customer has specified the final 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 system enabling us to manage complex supply chains through a single, integrated network”. In more detail, this involves: • process management – planning, execution, and monitoring of operational activities and events, including network optimization, from factory to dealer, • visibility and reporting – management of the order information to report unit status and location, measure process and supplier efficiency, and control activity and event exceptions. supplier management, and • planning, coordination, and monitoring of suppliers and vendors responsible for processes from factory to dealer.
Swedish Shipping 23
Sweden’s shipping industry falls more or less naturally into geographical areas, regional centres of industry often described as “clusters”: in this case, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö. The maritime sector as a whole is sometimes discussed in terms of a national “maritime cluster”, an expression describing the entire “community” of related activities associated with the shipping industry. Sweden’s maritime cluster is thought to contribute well over SEK 100 billion to the country’s GDP. 2013 figures from the shipowners association suggest that sea freight revenue is worth nearly SEK 50 billion a year.
Swedish Shipping
By far the largest regional maritime cluster in Sweden centres on Gothenburg, boasting the head offices of several shipping companies with worldwide operations, and the largest port in the Nordic countries, which also serves as a vital Nordic hub. The Gothenburg region also comprises a number of smaller cluster areas such as Lidköping (Vänern), Uddevalla/ Lysekil, Tjörn, Donsö and Strömstad. According to the Maritime
24
Technical Forum, the Gothenburg cluster comprises about 700 companies: some 100,000 people in this region owe their employment directly or indirectly to the maritime sector. Gothenburg is, of course, home to the Chalmers University of Technology, which also hosts Lighthouse: in its own words, “a unique multi-disciplinary maritime competence and research centre initiated by Chalmers, the School of Business, Economics and Law at Gothenburg University and The Swedish Shipowners’ Association”. Lighthouse aims “to make shipping more efficient, safer and more environmentally friendly as well as to ensure that Swedish shipping continues to be strongly competitive”; its work focuses on ship construction, maritime safety and hydrodynamics, together with logistics, maritime law and business analysis, world trade and other financial areas. Lighthouse also has a role as “a knowledge bridge between research, education and active shipping... in close cooperation with the shipping industry”.
Kalmar Maritime Academy (now part of Linnaeus University, a new institution created in January 2010) is a well-established maritime training centre on Sweden’s east coast, known for its range of engine room simulators. In southern Sweden, Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) – a joint Swedish-Danish venture – is at the heart of the Öresund area, representing another major cluster in the shipping industry. With four dedicated car terminals, the company is proud of its status as a hub for the import of new cars in the Baltic sea region. In addition, new, ultra-modern goods and ferry terminals were built at the Norra Hamnen harbour in Malmö, while the City of Malmö has also blueprinted a logistics centre for industries dependent on transport in this part of the harbour. These projects involve an area the size of 300 football pitches, making Norra Hamnen one of the biggest-ever infrastructure
projects in the region. With the construction of docks, terminals, roads and tracks to allow ferry, train and lorry freight to be handled in the same place, CMP will be able to handle five times as much freight as it does now – and the environmental impact of the ports will be reduced, as ferries and lorry traffic will be moved further away from the city centre of Malmö. Motorways of the sea In its Transport White Paper of September 2001, the European Commission proposed a “motorways of the sea” project as a “real competitive alternative to land transport”. Aimed at encouraging combined road and rail transport in the EU, the proposal is to introduce “new intermodal maritimebased logistics chains in Europe, which should bring about a structural change in our transport organisation within the next years to come”. Such chains will be more sustainable, and should be commercially more efficient, than road-only transport. Motorways of the sea will thus improve access to markets throughout Europe, and bring relief to over-stretched European road systems. For this purpose, fuller use will have to be made not only of maritime transport resources, but also of Europe’s potential in rail and inland waterways, as part of an integrated transport chain. This, the EU says, is “the Community addedvalue” of the project. The main objectives for the sea motorways projects are freight flow concentration on sea-based logistical routes, increased cohesion, and reduced road congestion through modal shift. Four “corridors”, two of which are of particular importance to Sweden, have been designated for “projects of European interest”:
These corridors provide one essential part of the projects: the “floating infrastructures” of the European seas. However, it is up to industry, Member States and the Community to implement financially and operationally sound projects to use these maritime resources better for new intermodal maritimebased transport systems. The Swedish authorities and the Swedish shipping industry have of course been enthusiastic participants throughout the long process. This now seems to be nearing fruition, as the 2012 Multi-Annual Motorways of the Sea programme, with a budget of €80 million, was launched in November 2012. A call was issued for proposals for projects of common interest in the field of the trans-European transport network. The deadline for submission was the end of February 2013, after which there will be a process of EC evaluation and consultation, including

Water, water, everywhere... With its long coastline, Sweden has naturally developed a vast network of ferry services. According to the Maritime Forum (Sjöfartsforum), over 30 million people travel by ferry between towns or to and from islands in the Stockholm archipelago every year: one company alone – Waxholms Ångfartygs AB, known affectionately as “Waxholmsbolaget” – said recently that it transports over 4 million passengers and 7,000 tons of goods per year.
26
Waxholmsbolaget, which has operated since 1869, is publicly owned. It is well known to tourists, for whom an excursion in the archipelago is a high point of their visit to Sweden. However, its extensive fleet includes not only its famous classic steamboats, but high speed vessels and ice-going ships. As the company says, it operates “not just during the summer season and not just on the tourist route. We chug along whatever the weather, all year round, from Arholma in the north to Landsort in the south”. A privately owned company, Strömma Kanalbolaget, also operates a sizeable fleet in and around Stockholm, mainly for tourist excursions and restaurant cruises.
In southern Sweden, HH-Ferries, founded in 1997 by Swedish and Danish investors and now part of the Stena group, operates a commuter line taking cars and passengers between the Swedish town of Helsingborg and Elsinore in Denmark. Destination Gotland, a shipping company serving the island of that 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, most ferries operating international routes in Swedish waters are foreignowned, most notably the Danish DFDS (including Tor Line), Finnish Silja and Viking Lines, and German TT-Line.
A tale of two superferries Stena is one of the world’s largest passenger ship companies with a modern fleet of 38 vessels and Europe’s most comprehensive route network, comprising 22 ferry routes from Sweden to and from Denmark, Germany, and Poland. The group also operates between the UK and Ireland and between Norway and Denmark.. Its head office is in Gothenburg. In July 2012 Stena Line acquired five new ferry routes, operating between Sweden, Germany and Latvia, from Scandlines Deutschland GmbH. Stena said then it hoped the acquisition would contribute to an increase in turnover for Stena Line of around 1 billion, to a total of about SEK 12.1 billion for 2013. The company currently employs about 6,000 staff, about twothirds of them onboard, while carrying 14.7 million passengers, 3.1 million cars and other vehicles, and 1.6 million units of freight in 2011. This generated revenues of around SEK 10 billion. In March 2010 Stena announced the results of a huge investment programme, totalling SEK 8 billion, on its “strategically important routes”. Two months later the company launched the first of two of the world’s largest ferries – “superferries” – on the Hook of Holland-Harwich route. The company described the new superferries as “groundbreaking in their size, their onboard environments, energy efficiency, loading capacity and effective loading and unloading options”. In November 2011 Stena saw the first ferries leave its new £200 million ferry port at Loch Ryan in Scotland for its Irish Sea service to Belfast port. The new facility replaces a much older port at Stranraer. Stena’s investment also includes two new ferries, Superfast VII and Superfast VIII, which the company said were the largest ever to sail between Scotland and Northern Ireland. As Stena Line’s recent activities suggest, while the world recession has had a huge impact on the merchant marine traffic, passenger traffic seems to have been less severely affected. Moreover, the company’s turnover forecast for 2013 is distinctly bullish.
Since all of the Swedish shipping companies operating deep-sea oil tankers have been sold to foreign companies, the Swedish-flagged fleet of oil tankers tends to ply coastal routes in northern Europe. These smaller short-sea shipping companies are often family owned. Curiously, the tiny island of Donsö (pop. 1400) in the Gothenburg archipelago is possibly the most densely packed cluster of shipping companies in the world: many if not most of the nation’s product tanker companies – still a sizeable segment in Sweden – are registered here, some managing vessels for ocean-going traffic and others dealing with short-sea shipping.
Swedish Shipping
Tankers: all in the family Oil and petroleum products are by far the most important cargoes shipped to Swedish ports. Approximately once a week one of the large deep sea oil tankers arrives at the refinery at Brofjorden outside Uddevalla. According to Ports of Sweden, a total 33.5 million tons of oil were handled by the Swedish ports in 2011.
Broström, once one of Sweden’s largest shipping companies with deep sea tankers in traffic worldwide, was acquired in January 2009 by Danish Maersk Tankers, part of the giant A.P.

Moller-Maersk Group and was delisted from the Stockholm exchange. Since then, there are now only two Swedish shipping companies listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm stock exchange: the dry load tanker company Transatlantic, and Concordia, a tanker company in the Stena group with its head office in Gothenburg, its fleet managed by Stena Bulk. Transatlantic’s operations include icebreaking in the Baltic Sea, assignments for the offshore sector (particularly in Arctic areas), and contract-based transport. Concordia mans and charters vessels mainly for carrying refined petroleum products such as petrol, diesel fuel, and aviation fuel.
Swedish Shipping
Container traffic: a nice little earner According to the latest available figures, the volume of Swedish container traffic is not terribly impressive: for example, the number of container units (TEUs) of goods discharged in Sweden in 2011 was put at 1.5 million by Ports of Sweden as against the 2.7 million RoRo trailer carriers that delivered goods. However, the segment is a solid and reliable part of the industry.
28
Wood products from northern Sweden are shipped to Japan by container, and so protected from damage by wind and rain. Vegetables and fruits are carried in cool containers loaded on board vessels in ordinary shipping routes. Container traffic is, of course, nothing new: as early as 1967 Olof Wallenius formed ACL, Atlantic Container Line. Today, as part of the Italian Grimaldi Group – although the vessels are managed by the Bibby Line, of Liverpool – ACL is a specialized carrier of containers, project and oversized cargo, heavy equipment and vehicles with the world’s largest roll-on roll-off/container ships. ACL offers weekly container and RoRo service to and from North America and Europe and West Africa, and oversized service to the Mediterranean and South America. Car carriers: world class Wallenius is one of the world’s largest players in the car carrier segment following its 1999 formation with Norwegian Wilhelmsen of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines, operator of the two companies’ vessels, and the subsequent purchase by the new
company of the Korean car carrier company EUKOR. Wallenius is also partner in the short sea company UECC. The launch of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics’ car carrier Faust in 2007 is seen as the start of a new era, that of the LCTC (large car and truck carrier). Faust’s capacity is 8,000 car equivalent units (CEU). Shipbuilding: decline, fall and survival Not so long ago, according to a European Commission study of the maritime sector, Sweden was the second largest shipbuilding country in the world after Japan. The shipbuilding industry had expanded rapidly after the end of the Second World War partly because Sweden had been neutral during the conflict so that all of its shipyards were intact. Shipyards such as Kockums, Götaverken, and Eriksberg built a variety of vessels, especially tankers, for the world fleet; during the 1960s about 90 per cent of the Swedish fleet was built in Sweden and order books were full.
At its peak in 1974-75 the shipbuilding industry employed 39,000 – but by the end of the decade, barely five years later, almost all of the industry had been lost to countries such as China, South Korea and Japan. The oil crisis of the 1970s had made a huge impact, aggravated by the increasing competitiveness of the Asian countries and the abolition of state subsidies. The surviving Swedish shipyards now tend to focus on repair, maintenance and conversion. Looking ahead The Swedish Maritime cluster, in short, is well developed, although there is room for improvement in infrastructure, particularly around some ports which need better rail and road links. With environmental issues high on the political agenda, and the renewed interest in shipping as a “green” mode of transport, the future is bright.

Chapter 4:
A new action plan Given the turbulent state of the world’s economy, Sweden’s financial position is relatively healthy. Exports, particularly vehicles and forest products, have held their own. Sweden’s imports of goods and services were growing at an annual rate of 6.3 per cent in 2011, according to a 2012 World Bank report, as consumer confidence remains better there than in most other European nations. Its decision to remain outside the Euro may distance Sweden, from the problems of the common European currency. Nonetheless, as a maritime nation there is no doubt Sweden faces challenges. The main reasons are the absence of a tonnage tax regime, and the absence of an international ship register that would empower owners to hire competitivelypriced foreign crews in limited numbers while boosting the number of ships operating under the national flag. Sweden remains one of the few European nations without these two elements, which are credited with maritime renaissance in rival nations within the European Economic Area.
Swedish Shipping
One of the main objectives of the Swedish Shipowners’ Association is to make Swedish shipping more competitive. On the political agenda, this means lobbying for the introduction of the tonnage tax system and for free market measures enabling Swedish shipping companies to compete on the same terms as any others. The shipowners also maintain that technical and administrative regulations should be neutral in competition, and coastal waters anywhere in the world should be open to navigation by Swedish vessels. Tonnage tax, adopted by many EU-countries, has long been under discussion in Sweden.. Aimed at supporting shippingrelated business in member states and inducing shipping companies to re-register their vessels under their national flags, it is based on the net weight of the vessel, how much cargo it can transport, and thus its ability to make a profit. Strictly speaking, it is not a tax but a way of estimating the income from cargo transport and passenger traffic, based on average income, which makes long-term planning easier. One result of this situation is the gradual disappearance of ships from the Swedish national register. AP Moller-Maersk’s decision to switch the Broström tankers to Denmark after it acquired the historic Swedish shipowner in 2008 has attracted the most attention, and opprobrium, in the Swedish media. However, the flagging-out issue is more far-reaching. It boils down to the unique nature of shipping: shipowners, will tend to go elsewhere if the tax regime in their homeland is not considered competitive. Over the past two decades, Sweden’s owners have quietly migrated large volumes of tonnage to jurisdictions such as Singapore and Denmark, besides the usual flags of convenience, to safeguard their economic interests. Often, these interests
30
imply the hiring of entirely non-Swedish crews. The effect on the Swedish maritime labour force has been debilitating: membership in the two main maritime labour unions has dwindled to a point where the unions have had to consider a merger.
On the positive side, the nation’s maritime sector is blessed with a marked degree of competence. Most vessels are well maintained, the seafarers are educated and up-to-date with the latest regulations; shipowners and shipyards are known for innovation, and the Swedish fleet is known to be reliable and environmentally aware. New policy measures The industry’s pleas and protests had not fallen on deaf ears. On 21 January 2013 the Minister for Infrastructure presented Sweden’s new action plan for the shipping industry. It is based on a series of reports and investigations into the shipping sector carried out in recent years. There is much that is implied in it, and several undertakings to review or extend the existing conditions, but few concrete commitments. The government says this is intentional.
The plan’s aim is twofold: to improve the competitiveness of the Swedish maritime sector in the global market and to see the proportion of Swedish-flagged vessels in the Swedish merchant fleet increase. However, it is made clear the government will not back the introduction of an international shipping register. Quoting the conclusion of the 2010 report on competitive shipping conditions, which found that the introduction of an international registry would require employment law changes such that they would violate international conventions that Sweden has ratified, the plan says: “the government considers that there is insufficient support for such a change.” It suggests, however, that there may be another way to approach this: with an extension of the TAP agreements which permit a proportion of seafarers to be foreign nationals on
Swedish Shipping 31
temporary contracts and which were introduced to reduce staffing costs. The government says this would “approximate the cost of [Swedish maritime] labour to the conditions in the outside world.” The government also plans, within EU guidelines, to extend shipping aid by expanding the categories of vessels that may be subject to it. The EU’s maritime strategy for 2018 emphasises the need to maintain the guidelines for shipping aid so that a level playing field is maintained in the future, which is what – by implication – Sweden will do. Traffikanalys has been tasked with continuous monitoring of shipping competitiveness and an initial report is expected in early 2013.
Swedish Shipping
The vexed question of tonnage tax does not miss out. The action plan provides for setting up a commission to look into the introduction of a system of tonnage tax in Sweden. This question will be analyzed from a broad perspective, it says, and “other existing support for shipping” will also be reviewed.
32
The plan, which also lists measures the government is working on or has already completed, includes many administrative changes and a whole raft of EU-related measures. Areas included are: simpler regulation, shipping security supervision, pilotage, inland waterways regulation, transport fees and charges, port improvements, municipal funding for state infrastructure, marine education, support for internships, continued support for World Maritime University, maritime security/safety, anti-piracy measures (armed guards), flag state and port state controls, sea and air rescue, environmental issues, low-sulphur shipping, low Nox in Baltic Sea, pollution from ships, and increased aid for marine R&D. Also committed to are EU projects TEN-T and Motorways of the Sea, IMP, ‘Blue Growth’ and Baltic Sea strategy. The government intends to follow up its action plan with a maritime strategy for the wider maritime cluster, to be presented in spring 2014. This is intended to clarify the way forward for Swedish maritime policy, contributing to growth, prosperity and a good marine environment.
Shipowners unimpressed The Swedish Shipowners’ Association gave a mixed reception to the government’s proposals. Chairman Anders Boman and deputy director Christer Schoug attended the meeting in Gothenburg at which Catharina Elmsäter Svärd presented the plan. While the Association agreed with the government that effective maritime transport is important for Sweden so it can to continue to influence and drive forward at the international level, especially in the environmental and safety areas, the shipowners argued that the plan would not solve the fundamental problem of Swedish maritime competitiveness. “Unfortunately, the action we miss in the action plan is concrete measures and timetables,” said Christer Schoug. “But the will is there,” he went on, “and the minister has signaled that the issues are to be solved in conjunction with ship operators, which we welcome.”
He noted that Swedish ports are visited 109,000 times a year by merchant ships. Nearly 300 vessels a day, every day, with only a fraction of these being Swedish flag vessels. He suggested that with “just some minor changes to the tax legislation there would be great opportunities for these vessels to become Swedish-flag, with the possibility of many jobs for young people.” Schoug welcomed the proposed widening of shipping aid, but said that overall the proposals would not reverse the flagging out of vessels from Sweden to neighbouring countries. He also described the government’s proposed investment in maritime research as very positive, especially as regards the impact of the IMO’s sulphur directive and its tight schedule. Strategies and projects Sweden’s national and regional maritime clusters are relatively small in an EU perspective: to meet the competition these clusters must grow. In addition, Sweden’s 2052 kilometres of

inland waterways – navigable rivers, canals and the like – could be put to better use in the transport chain.
and Innovation. The current, second Marco Polo programme runs until 2013.
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 of a wider funding programme, known as Marco Polo, for projects which shift freight transport from the road to sea, rail and inland waterways. “This means fewer trucks on the road and thus less congestion, less pollution, and more reliable and efficient transport of goods”, says the European Commission’s Executive Agency for Competitiveness
Scores of Swedish companies have benefited from funding under the Marco Polo scheme – which has not prevented some from complaining that the programme is “too bureaucratic”! Unlike most of the EU countries, the Swedish government operates a system of “fairway dues”, fees charged in port to the state Maritime Administration, a public agency, to meet the costs of 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 to the sulphur content of the vessel’s bunker oil or whether anti-pollution equipment has been installed. The employers’ organization Association Ports of Sweden – representing virtually all of the country’s ports – is one of a number of voices in the sector arguing that the system makes Swedish shipping less competitive.
European perspectives The European Community Shipowners’ Association, ECSA, formed in 1965, comprises the national shipowner associations of the EU and Norway. Its aim is “to promote the interests of European shipping so that the industry can best serve European and international trade and commerce in a competitive free enterprise environment to the benefit of shippers and consumers”. In a comprehensive strategy paper published in January 2009, ECSA looked at the competitive position of European shipping in global markets, human resources, seamanship and maritime know-how. One important conclusion was that an appropriate operating framework of state aid guidelines should be maintained for a longer period. ECSA is particularly keen on encouraging more young people to choose a career in the European merchant fleet. European seamen are well-trained and up to date on relevant legislation and reach the highest level of maritime know-how. The association also wants to see more European involvement in the working of the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO). European Maritime Day The annual European Maritime Day Stakeholder Conference is where European political leaders meet the shipping industry on equal terms. The annual event confirms – and celebrates – the status of the sea as an essential resource in the European Union, 22 member countries of which are coastal states. There are more than 1200 sea ports in Europe; three to five per cent of the EU’s GDP comes from industries and services associated with the maritime sector, and maritime regions account for more than 40 per cent of Europe’s GDP. Ninety per cent of foreign trade and 40 per cent of trade within the EU take place via maritime routes, and European shipbuilding accounts for something under 10 per cent of global production. According to the EC, in 2009 there were something like 95,000 boats involved in fisheries and aquaculture alone.
Europe’s maritime policy Europe’s Integrated Maritime Policy was introduced in 2007, on the grounds that “Europe is surrounded by seas and oceans: the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The sea is our past, present and future. The European Union needs a comprehensive Integrated Maritime Policy to benefit from the full potential of our seas and oceans”. In October 2009, a progress report on the Integrated Maritime Policy identified six further “strategic policy orientations for the future.”
Swedish Shipping
The sea is, of course, also a source of energy and represents a great opportunity for research on issues such as the impact of climate change, environmental protection and sustainable fisheries, as well as maritime technologies and shipbuilding. In response to the global economic crisis, the maritime sectors of the economy will invest in maintaining and further developing transport, ports and shipbuilding, while the need to ensure that development is sustainable will generate additional “green” profits.

Green shoots While LNG represents the stellar environmental “opportunity” that shipowners and shipping nations can hope to capitalise on during the coming decades, there are several other aspects of shipping’s overlap with the environment in which Sweden has impeccable credentials. Environment is a priority for Swedish shipping – as for most industrial sectors in these ecologically aware times. The Swedish Shipowners’ Association’s committee for environmental issues addresses these concerns at home and throughout the EU.
Swedish Shipping
In many respects Swedish shipowners are well ahead of the game. As early as 1990, for example, shipping companies started to use low sulphur fuel instead of heavy oil on their Baltic passenger routes, and were considering the use of low sulphur fuel by deep sea vessels. However, sulphur and nitrogen emissions are still cause for anxiety, together with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The waters surrounding Sweden include several sensitive areas: the Skagerrak and Kattegat on the west coast, and the Baltic Sea in the east. As many as 40 larger vessels a day may pass through the archipelagos, criss-crossed by numerous narrow fairways, en route to Stockholm and other cities. Road and rail links to Stockholm cannot always cope with the volumes of cargo passing through even the largest ports such as Nynäshamn and Norrtälje – hence the need for “intermodal” initiatives as discussed in chapter 3... and the announcement by the Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications in March 2010 of a SEK 497 billion investment aimed at strengthening infrastructure throughout the country in accordance with an “intermodal national plan for the period 2010-2021” and intermodal county plans. The scheme specifies a number of “special measures” for promoting an efficient flow of goods and improving export and import opportunities for Swedish companies. Investments in the Harbour Line in Gothenburg, including the Marieholm Bridge, and building a second track to the harbour area in Gothenburg over the Marieholm Bridge will “increase redundancy and reduce vulnerability”, the ministry said. Other projects include Södertälje Lock, the fairways to Gävle Harbour and Norrköping Harbour, Tunadal Line to Sundsvall Harbour, and the electrification of tracks to several other harbours. IMO and Marpol The International Maritime Organization is responsible for global regulations on safety, security and the prevention and control of marine pollution from ships. Its member governments – fast approaching 200 – are committed to implementing and enforcing the regulations once they enter into force for the international merchant shipping fleet of 60,000 or more
36
ships (above 400 GT). The aim, says the IMO, is “to reduce to the barest minimum all adverse environmental impacts from ships”.
In 1973, the IMO adopted the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, now known universally as Marpol, subsequently amended by the Protocols of 1978 and 1997 and regularly updated by amendments. The Marpol Convention, which now applies to 99 per cent of the world’s merchant tonnage, addresses pollution of the sea by oil, noxious liquid substances carried in bulk, harmful substances carried by sea in packaged form, sewage and garbage, and air pollution from emissions associated with shipping.
Reductions of pollution generated by ships are “all the more noteworthy when compared with the significant growth in the world’s shipping industry – both in the size of the world fleet and the distances that it travels”, the IMO declares. “IMO is continuously pursuing a proactive approach to enhance implementation and enforcement, both by flag and port States, including a proactive action plan to ensure that shore-based reception facilities for ship-generated waste keep up with international regulatory requirements.”
Anti-fouling systems used on ships, the transfer of alien species by ships’ ballast water and the environmentally sound recycling of ships are covered by separate treaties.
Oil and water Operational and construction regulations introduced by Marpol, along with other safety-related regulations such as the introduction of mandatory traffic separation schemes and international standards for seafarer training, have been
Swedish Shipping 37
instrumental in the continuous decline of accidental oil pollution over the past 30 years. In 1983, Marpol introduced a number of radical new concepts, such as a requirement for new oil tankers to be fitted with segregated ballast tanks, so as to obviate the need to carry ballast water in cargo tanks. This was superseded by the requirement for oil tankers delivered from 1996 onwards to be fitted with a double hull. The protection of the marine environment was thus greatly enhanced. Innovations introduced by Marpol on allowable discharges of bilge water include standards for treatment using the oily water separator (OWS), which enables a vessel’s crew to separate oil from bilge water before the bilge water is discharged overboard, and oil discharge and monitoring control systems. Rules for the prevention of pollution caused by noxious liquid substances in bulk ensure that chemical tankers conform to the most stringent standards of construction, including the protection of cargo tanks, operational discharges of tank washings are severely restricted.
Swedish Shipping
Despite the rapid growth of world seaborne trade in recent years – particularly in oil and petroleum products, the average number of oil spills over 700 tonnes has shrunk from more than 25 per year in the 1970s to perhaps half a dozen. One major oil company has estimated that the tankers it owns, or uses under
38
long-term charter, spill less than one teaspoon of oil for every million gallons transported; while tanker owners take pride in statistics that show that 99.9996 per cent of all oil transported by sea is delivered safely and without impact on the marine environment. However, accidents do happen. IMO’s International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation provides the framework for responding to major oil pollution incidents, while the Protocol on Preparedness, Response and Cooperation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances extends this regulatory framework to cover a wide range of pollutants and eco-toxins. Regulations covering liability and compensation for damage caused by oil transported by ship provide automatic cover of up to $1 billion for any single incident, regardless of fault. Liability and compensation regimes also cover damage caused by spills of oil when carried as fuel in ships’ bunkers and spills involving hazardous and noxious substances. Air and weather A Marpol Annex limits the main air pollutants contained in ships exhaust gas, including oxides of sulphur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx), and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting
substances. Shipboard incineration and the emissions of volatile organic compounds from tankers are also subject to regulation. The most recent measures specify a progressive reduction in emissions of SOx, NOx and particulate matter, and the introduction of emission control areas (ECAs) where further restrictions apply. Under the latest revision, the global sulphur cap is reduced initially to 3.50 per cent m/m (from the current 4.50 per cent), effective from 1 January 2012; then progressively to 0.5 per cent, effective from 1 January 2020, subject to a feasibility review to be completed no later than 2018. The limits applicable in ECAs for SOX and particulate matter are reduced to 1 per cent, beginning on 1 July 2010 (from the current 1.5 per cent); further reduced to 0.1 per cent, effective from 1 January 2015. Progressive reductions in NOX emissions from marine diesel engines are included, with increasingly stringent emission limits for engines installed on or after 1 January 2011 and 1 January 2016. Exhaust gases are the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions from ships, both in terms of quantity and of global warming potential. According to an IMO study in 2009, international shipping has emitted an estimated 870 million
tonnes, or about 2.7 per cent, of global carbon dioxide emissions of CO2 in 2007. By the year 2050, in the absence of regulations, ship emissions were projected to rise by a factor of two to three (compared with 2007 levels) as a result of the expected growth in world trade. Technical and operational measures could increase efficiency and reduce the emissions rate by 25 per cent to 75 per cent below the current levels, according to this study. Many of these measures appear to be cost-effective. In July 2009, IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) finalized a package of just such measures, focusing on improved design and propulsion technologies and improved operational practices. In March 2010 MEPC began the process of making the technical and operational measures mandatory for all ships irrespective of flag and ownership. This was completed in July 2011 with the adoption of technical measures for new ships and operational reduction measures for all ships. This represents the first ever mandatory global GHG reduction regime for an entire industry sector. The regulations apply to all ships over 400 gross tonnage and above and are expected to enter into force through the tacit acceptance procedure on 1 January 2013.
Swedish Shipping 39
Market-based mechanisms are also seen as a means of offsetting emissions and providing a fiscal incentive for the maritime industry to invest in more fuel-efficient ships and technologies and to operate ships in a more energy-efficient manner.
by 4 per cent in 2011, putting the company on target to reach its goal of a 30 per cent reduction in emissions by 2015. The parent company plans to reduce its sulphur emissions not only by using cleaner fuel but by “eco-driving” – better route planning, cargo handling and speed reduction – in order to cut fuel consumption. Improving the interaction between propeller, rudder and hull also saves energy – and fuel. Wallenius is one of many Swedish companies and institutions carrying out research into such technical fixes, most notably, in recent years, renewable energy: fuel cells, biofuels and/or sun, wind and wave power.
In March 2010 the IMO’s environment policy decision-making body agreed to set up an expert group to “assess the feasibility of market-based measures for reducing ship’s greenhouse gas emissions”. Another working group was looking at options to improve ships’ energy efficiency, the IMO said. The committee also drafted a text on mandatory requirements for an energy efficiency index for new ships and an energy efficiency management plan for all ships.
Scrap and rubbish When ships reach the end of their working lives, recycling is undoubtedly the most environment-friendly way to dispose of them. Many of the components and much of the steel is re-used in the countries where the ships are dismantled, in new ships, in agriculture, in hospitals, at homes, and in other products. However, there are concerns about environmental and working conditions in ship recycling yards.
Individual shipping companies, such as Wallenius Lines, have been quick to tackle climate issues. Subsidiary Wallenius Wilhelsen Logistics said it had cut its carbon dioxide emissions
In May 2009, the IMO adopted the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, which balances safety and environmental concerns
Swedish Shipping
By some recent estimates, shipping emissions could be cut by more than 60 per cent by 2050 through measures such as engine efficiency improvements and alternative fuels, while operational improvements, such as slower speeds for ships, could cut shipping emissions by 27 per cent.

with the commercial requirements of seaborne trade and the ship recycling industry. Similarly, the disposal of all types of wastes produced on a ship’s voyage has become better regulated. Here Marpol’s requirements are much stricter in a number of “Special Areas”; but perhaps their most important feature is a total ban on dumping into the sea of all forms of plastic. However, although governments are obliged to ensure the provision of facilities at all ports and terminals for the reception of rubbish, more work needs to be done to ensure the availability of adequate reception facilities in every port. Fair means and foul Ships’ hulls need to be kept smooth from marine growth to ensure maximum performance and full efficiency. The IMO’s International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships prohibits the use of harmful organotins such as tributyltin (TBT) in anti-fouling paints used on ships and establishes a mechanism to prevent the potential future use of other harmful substances in anti-fouling systems. Tinbased antifouling bottom paints keep algae and barnacles from attaching to the bottoms of ships, but also damage other
marine organisms. When organotins were first banned by the EU in 2003, several Swedish shipping companies were already using tin-free alternatives. We have noted the Global Research and Development Forum on Emerging Ballast Water Management, which was held in Malmö in January 2010. Ballast water is sea water pumped on board to stabilize the vessel. Marine organisms taken on board during this process can overrun natural local species and cause other environmental and/or public health problems when the ballast water is pumped out during loading. The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship’s Ballast Water and Sediments, adopted in February 2008, declares that ballast water treatment is now the only option for dealing with the issue, and must replace (after a phasing-out period of several years) a previously approved procedure known as ballast water exchange. (This involves replacing coastal water with open-ocean water during a voyage, in the process reducing the density of coastal organisms in ballast tanks that may be able to invade a recipient port; these are replaced with oceanic organisms with a lower probability of survival in near-shore waters.) IMO and the industry are working together to ensure that new treatments and procedures will not have an adverse effect on the safety of the vessel, and will not solve one environmental problem by creating another. Already, a number of ballast water management systems have been approved as meeting the Convention standards. As well as introducing non native species into new environments, ballast and bilge discharge from ships can spread human pathogens and other harmful diseases and toxins. Swedish authorities have expressed concern over the grey and black wastewater commonly discharged from all vessels, including pleasure boats that simply empty their bilges or septic tanks into the sea. The passenger shipping company Viking Line, which operates seven vessels serving the Finnish mainland, Åland and Sweden, has introduced a closed system where wastewater is held in huge tanks and taken ashore to be cleaned.
Biofouling introductions are common to all types of vessel, from small pleasure craft to international fishing vessel, large trading vessels, barges, and mobile drilling rigs. In some regions more than 50 per cent of invasive aquatic species are thought to have been introduced through biofouling. International measures for minimizing the translocation of invasive aquatic species through biofouling of ships are in the pipeline. The “Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter” (the “London Convention”) was one of the first global treaties to protect the marine environment from human activities and has been in force since 1975. Its objective is to promote the effective control of all sources of marine pollution and to take all practicable steps to prevent pollution of the sea by dumping of wastes.
Swedish Shipping
There is, in addition, yet another hazard associated with species movement: the “biofouling” of ships – that is, the undesirable accumulation of micro-organisms, plants and animals on submerged structures. A single fertile fouling organism has the potential to release many thousands of eggs, spores or larvae into the water with the capacity to found new populations.
41
In 1996, the “London Protocol” was adopted to modernize the Convention and, eventually, replace it. Under the Protocol all dumping is prohibited, but permits may be issued to allow the dumping, subject to certain conditions, of the specified materials: dredged material, sewage sludge, fish wastes, vessels and platforms, inert and inorganic geological material (e.g., mining wastes), organic material of natural origin, bulky items (primarily of iron, steel and/or concrete), and CO2 from carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes. EcoPorts and ESPO EcoPorts is a non-profit foundation established in 1999 by nine European ports as a formal structure for the exchange of experience in the areas of port environment and sustainability. Its primary purpose is to act as a network platform, exchanging environmental solutions between European port communities and promoting collaborative projects addressing sustainability issues both in ports and in the logistics chain. The focus is on best practice and technological innovation. The organization has also developed and validated environmental management tools for ports, including an environmental risk check list and analysis system and a port environmental review system. This voluntary environmental certification system for ports, establishing a European environmental benchmark, is a proven stepping-stone towards ISO 14001. ESPO, the European Sea Ports Organization, works with EcoPorts in areas such as port sector policy and legislation. ESPO represents the seaports of the Member States of the European Union (including the founders of EcoPorts) and has observer members from several other European countries.
Swedish Shipping
EcoPorts’ projects involve universities, companies and local authorities in compiling databases and devising and testing management tools, generally with funding by the European Commission, and promoting their use in individual ports through collaboration, training and certification with the assistance of Lloyd’s Register as independent auditor. The current Swedish members of EcoPorts are Gothenburg and Stockholm.

Intergovernmental co-operation The Helsinki Commission, Helcom, works to protect the marine environment of the Baltic Sea from all sources 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 Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area”, more commonly known as the Helsinki Convention. Helcom describes its “vision for the future” as “a healthy Baltic Sea environment with diverse biological components functioning in balance, resulting in a good ecological status and supporting a wide range of sustainable economic and social activities”. In May 2009, Sweden and its Nordic neighbour Finland launched a fund to improve the Baltic Sea’s marine environment – an example of numerous initiatives taken as part of Helcom’s action plan to clean up the sea by 2021. In particular, the environmental fund would subsidise efforts at local and regional level to reduce discharges by the agricultural sector and remove nutrients from wastewater, Swedish environment minister Andreas Carlgren said.
At the same time, calculations carried out for Helcom at Stockholm University appeared to confirm reports that discharges of phosphates and nitrogen to the Baltic Sea were declining, partly due to improved farming practices in Denmark and Sweden. Not in my tank Towards the end of January 2010, a gaggle of scientists descended on Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city, for a weeklong council of war against what they described as “alien species”. With others representing technology companies, the maritime industry, academia, national governments and international and regional agencies from around the world – more than 300 in all – the experts were preoccupied not with preparations for an invasion of creatures from outer space, but with the 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 has developed, caused by the introduction of aquatic organisms unintentionally
imported and released into ecosystems where they do not belong. It is estimated that more than 7,000 such “alien” species are transferred daily. As well as the environmental harm, the economic damage caused by this process is immense.
of the most environment-friendly in the world, often adduced as an example of best practice, and notable for its advanced technology, benign working conditions, and high standards of security and safety.
The first Global Research and Development Forum on Emerging Ballast Water Management Systems covered topics ranging from various ballast water treatment and management options and innovative technologies for treating ballast water on ships, to related issues such as shore reception facilities, sediment management, and the regulatory, technical and environmental challenges facing the ballast water technology manufacturers and the shipping industry.
According to the World Trade Organization, international merchandise trade increased by 14 per cent in volume terms in 2010, though it was more volatile than GDP in both 2009 and 2010. This represents an improvement both on the WTO’s forecast for 2010, which was 9.5 per cent, and on the actual 2009 total, which was 12.2 per cent. In 2010, the WTO said, world GDP grew by 3.5 per cent. In contrast, in 2010 world merchandise exports rose by 22 per cent,
It was no accident that Malmö had been chosen as the venue for this event: the city, is after all, home to WMU, the World Maritime University (“truly an organization by and for the international maritime community”), which operates under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of the United Nations.
So clearly, the financial and economic crises of the past several years have meant a considerable degree of volatility for shipping, Swedish or otherwise. But Sweden’s shipping industry will survive and prosper, as it always has, in large part through its innovative tradition: the family-owned Wallenius Lines, to name just one celebrated example, pioneered RoRo technology with the short sea vessel Aniara in the 1960s.
Malmö, in this context, is emblematic of the status of Swedish shipping as a successful and prosperous industry that is one

Chapter 6:
Lessons learnt Sweden’s relationship with the waves has given the nation many moments of pure joy and vindication. However, there have been the poignant moments, when the reality that the value of life supersedes the worth of all material and technical matters was driven home. These tragedies have led to some fundamental changes in the way the world regulates shipping. Several relatively recent disasters at sea have involved the loss of Swedish lives: • A fire on board the Danish-owned passenger ferry Scandinavian Star in April 1990 killed 158 passengers and crew. The ferry was sailing between Oslo (Norway) and Frederikshavn (Denmark) when the blaze, apparently set deliberately, started outside the Swedish coast of Bohuslän. • In 1993, the Polish ferry Jan Heweliusz capsized and sank in 27 metres of water off the German island of Rügen en route to the Swedish port of Ystad, with the loss of 65 lives. • By far the worst such catastrophe of modern times, the sinking of the ferry Estonia en route from Tallinn, Estonia, to Stockholm in September 1994, claimed 852 lives.
Swedish Shipping
Inevitably, each disaster led to seemingly endless rounds of investigation, recrimination... and ultimately technical improvements, new safety measures and more efficient distress procedures, most notably the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS). INSJO: critical events The Swedish maritime authorities and the Swedish Shipowners’ Association have jointly created and designed INSJO, which describes itself as “an information system to capture accidents, incidents, near-misses and non-conformities... a data base, an experience data bank, built up of critical events and incidents in relation to operation of and work on ships”. INSJO is now in operation after several years of testing, although not yet fully implemented. The essential content of the database is reports from companies, ships, safety committees and crews in Swedish ships. The reports coming from the designated person (DP) in the company are registered anonymous. Real-life incidents and critical events, and those which are thought likely in future, are described: these include hazardous operations, work procedures and situations with potentially serious consequences for the ship, the crew, the passengers or the environment. The INSJO system can alert those involved, recommend the necessary safety measures, and inform other companies, ships and crews. The data base is searchable.

Titanic treaty The Swedish Government has of course ratified SOLAS, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, passed in 1914 in response to the sinking of the Titanic. Widely considered the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships, the initial version concerned numbers of lifeboats and other emergency equipment, and safety procedures such as continuous radio watches. Subsequent revisions over the years have resulted in a detailed prescription covering virtually every aspect 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.
Swedish Shipping 45
European initiatives Dating from 1982, the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (the Paris MOU) is an agreement between the maritime authorities of 27 European and North Atlantic maritime administrations on a system of harmonized inspection procedures designed to target substandard ships, “with the main objective being their elimination”. The agreement has been amended several times to accommodate new safety and marine requirements stemming from IMO and various EU directives.
Swedish Shipping
The European Maritime Safety Agency, EMSA, was created in 2002 in the aftermath of the pollution disaster caused when the tanker Erika sank off the coast of France in 1999. The agency provides technical and scientific advice to the European Commission and works with the various national maritime
46
services. Its activities include strengthening the Port State Control regime, auditing classification societies, developing a common methodology for the investigation of maritime accidents, vessel traffic monitoring and information, promoting best practice, and “assisting the accession countries in the implementation of Community legislation on maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by ships”. Maritime transport is “of fundamental importance to Europe and the rest of the world”, says EMSA. “To put this in perspective, over 90 per cent of European Union external trade goes by sea and more than 3.7 billion tonnes of freight a year are loaded and unloaded in EU ports. This means that shipping is the most important mode of transport in terms of volume. Furthermore, as a result of its geography, its history and the effects of globalisation, maritime transport will continue to be
the most important transport mode in developing EU trade for the foreseeable future.”
system for some time, but this is the first time that users will be able to see it in a fully interactive, multi-functional display.
EMSA’s SafeSeaNet project, launched in 2002, aims “to aid the collection, dissemination, and harmonized exchange of maritime data”. As a channel of communication between local/regional and central authorities, the network is designed to help prevent accidents at sea and marine pollution, and to facilitate the enforcement of EU maritime safety legislation.
“This approach will give Member State users a whole range of important new capabilities to work with”, said EMSA Executive Director, Willem de Ruiter. “From today, instead of just accessing a database, they will be able to see the whole near-real-time situation for the EU displayed on a map right in front of them, and to select all ships, ports, sea areas and many other elements at the click of a button.
In March 2010 the system was upgraded to include a new, userfriendly web service for tracking shipping in European waters. An innovative tracking module, STIRES (SafeSeaNet Traffic Information Relay & Exchange System), enables authorities to see all commercial vessels in and around EU waters in a single view. The information has been available via the SafeSeaNet
“Much better still, we will soon be in a position to offer an integrated display system which will be able to identify and locate ships anywhere in the world and also show the EU pollution and accident pictures. The user base is expanding all the time, with port state control officers being among the latest to join the system.”

Chapter 7:
Life on board Ships may be safer and the industry may be more sophisticated, but when one gets right down to it, the overriding reality remains that a shipowner, or indeed a shipping nation, is only as good as the crew that operates their tonnage.
“Research, education, and recruiting are some of our most important issues today,” says shipowners’ association CEO Håkan Friberg. “We have spent a lot of time, resources, and money to make young people interested in our industry”.
Perceptive readers will need no reminding of the serious shortage of seafarers and officers that has bedevilled the modern global industry for well on a generation, with no magic solution in sight.
Life on board has changed over the years, and very much for the better, thanks in part to technological advances. A large RoRo vessel, for example, can be handled by a crew of 20. Smaller
In days gone by, seafaring meant leading a life of adventure and seeing the world – or so tradition has it. Today, working at sea doesn’t have quite the same appeal: one reason, perhaps, for a growing problem that looks all too likely to become chronic, and exacerbate the already serious shortage of mariners: a decline in maritime recruitment. The social democratic hegemony in the Nordic countries, leading to the rise of the welfare state during the latter half of the 20th century, often gets the blame. The reasoning goes something like this:
Swedish Shipping
For previous generations, shipping was simply in the blood. In coastal communities everyone had an uncle, grandfather or neighbour who had made or still made a living at sea. But once free schooling was available to all, irrespective of income or social status, the ranks of teenage apprentice seamen began to dwindle. Shipowners complained that it was becoming difficult to find recruits of the right age – or any at all. External shocks, in particular the intermittent periods of recession from the mid-20th century onward, have not improved the situation. Life on board can be stressful, particularly on short sea routes where the vessel calls at many ports on a tight schedule; and long periods away from the family have always been difficult – and a main reason for leaving the seafaring side of the industry. A turn on an ocean going ship can be several months long, putting pressure on the spouse left at home with the children and probably holding down 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 years working at sea, switching to shipping-related jobs on shore, in coastal navigation – where the turn is about a fortnight – or with the coast guard, once he, or in about 15 per cent of the cases she, has started a family. Young men and women are still drawn to shipping and a life at sea, of course. Sadly, there are fewer jobs for them than are required. Seafarer interests point out, with a lot of justification, that one reason is that there are fewer Swedish-flag ships to begin with. Nonetheless, attracting quality recruits remains the cornerstone on which a future generation of Swedish mariners will be begotten.
48
crews mean better conditions: 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 much easier with the advent of the internet, mobile phones, and the like: the vast majority of the Swedish shipping companies now provide e-mail addresses and a range of personal communication links on board. A Lighthouse study of “Social IT onboard”, published in 2009, looks at “all the information technology that can be used to enhance the social wellbeing” at sea, from news and entertainment to radio, telephony, SMS and the internet, which in addition to e-mail includes surfing and the ability to download music, talking books and movies. While these types of communication are taken for granted ashore, accessibility onboard has traditionally been very limited.
“Humans have an inherent need to communicate in order to maintain a social network”, write the authors of the report. “The emotional disadvantages for the crew deriving from long periods of separation from family and friends are mitigated by the access to good communication.” Previous studies have shown that both job performance and efficiency are increased by the employers understanding of the importance of communication and the possibility to keep in touch with the ones at home. This can also lead to a reduced risk of accidents. Satellite communication with permanent connection is a prerequisite for social IT. Technical solutions enable bandwidth to be divided between commercial and private traffic, which can also be allocated so as to prevent social communications from interfering with the flow of information between the ship and the company.

Chapter 8:
Leaders in innovation Inevitably, innovation – and in particular research and development (R&D) – is the beating heart of the Swedish shipping industry, involving every aspect of the maritime sector. The development of the RoRo vessel, briefly outlined in chapter two, is a good example. The RoRo concept was first introduced during World War II so that the Allies could transport combat vehicles from ship to shore: most famously on D-Day, 6 June 1944, when a beachhead was established in Normandy. In peacetime, RoRo technology was adapted for merchant vessels and short ferry crossings such as the English Channel. When Wallenius began to develop its own RoRo concept, it started with small feeder vessels, about 1,000 dwt, to and from large ports such as Antwerp and Bremerhaven. In order to accommodate RoRo vessels and cope with large numbers of cars driving off the ships, ports and terminals had to be expanded and redesigned.
Swedish Shipping
The new RoRo concept cut manpower requirements for loading and unloading the cars by half, which often meant difficult negotiations with the unions. Other problems involved exhaust fumes generated by the cars, and the bulkheads, which required hydraulic mechanisms to open and close the ports. This special construction, certified by Lloyd’s Register, is used in many modern RoRo vessels.

A Swedish protocol The automatic identification system (AIS) is a short range coastal tracking system used worldwide to manage vessel traffic. Håkan Lans, a Swedish inventor, is responsible for the communication platform or rather a communication protocol, known as self-organizing time division multiple access (STDMA). Using global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and VHF radio communications, the technology enables the vessel to continuously monitor its own exact position, direction and velocity and those any other nearby vessels. The system has been designated the world standard by the IMO and, for aircraft, the International Civil Aviation Organization. Incorporating AIS transmitters plus CCTV, radar and VHF, the vessel traffic service (VTS) is a monitoring system used by harbour and port authorities all over the world to keep track of vessel movements with a view to navigational safety in a limited geographical area, by exchanging data with other nearby vessels and VTS stations. The data include position, course and unique identification for each vessel. AIS transmitters automatically broadcast the vessel information. The SOLAS convention requires AIS on board all passenger vessels as well as on all ships of 300 gross tonnage and upwards and passenger ships regardless of size.
Because not all vessels are equipped with AIS the system is primarily used as a lookout for collision avoidance and to determine the risk of collision. The system also describes the position of marker positions, navigational aids and, using a transmitter on shore, submerged objects such as wrecks, rocks and shoals.
There are a number of ways to operate AIS. Some computer programs, for example, when tuned to the AIS broadcast frequency, can demodulate the raw audio from a conventional marine VHF radio telephone into AIS data. Others can retransmit the AIS information to a local or global network, allowing the public or authorized users to observe vessel traffic online or on a chart plotter. As these programs do not directly involve AIS transmitters, they can’t display their own position, but are useful on smaller vessels to avoid collision and as a navigation aid. One of the great advantages of AIS is that it is relatively inexpensive. View from the Lighthouse The Lighthouse maritime competence and research centre, inaugurated in 2006, aims to create an attractive R&D environment from an international as well as national perspective, operating on three levels:
• a project organization consisting of a scientific board, leaders responsible for five “theme areas”, and a management board, all actively safeguarding research ideas and turning these into actual financed projects • a physical environment serving as a common meeting ground where scientists from different disciplines can come together and contribute to each other’s research • a close cooperation between industry, academe, and society through active reference groups connected to the theme areas. The five theme areas are designated Eco Ship, Ergo Ship, Cargo Ship, Safe Ship and Business Ship. Eco Ship deals with education and research related to the resource use and environmental impact caused by shipping and maritime activities. Energy efficiency and potential use of

renewable energy sources are important issues. One of its major achievements to date is the development of Shipflow naval architecture software, now used worldwide by shipbuilders, shipping companies, consultants and universities working with ship design. Ergo Ship includes a “Human Factors” group focusing on evaluation, planning and design of control centres – mainly bridge decks and engine control rooms – on ships. Much use has been made of the full mission simulator, a unique research and teaching resource, as well as various radio simulators and a smaller bridge deck simulators.

Cargo Ship aims to develop effective and innovative carrier systems, but also studies interaction with ports and other parts of the logistics chain. Research projects focus on systems, seagoing qualities, ship design and engineering, arrangements on board and cargo handling. Ships and floating offshore structures are evaluated in regard to structural strength, collision resistance, lightweight structure and fatigue life.
52
Safe Ship carries out R&D in engineering organization and education as applied to preventive safety, increased survival and evacuation of damaged ships, often using simulators in collaboration with the Human Factors group. The decisionmaking process on the bridge deck and the working environment in the engine control room are important topics. Business Ship is concerned with markets and the terms and conditions of the shipping business, including patterns of international trade such as the flow of consumer goods in connection with containerization; maritime law and the impact of safety systems on civil liability protocols such as shipowner responsibility and insurance coverage; cash flow analysis in the shipping industry, and logistics and transport economics. Truly a mutual Innovation is not, of course, the sole province of scientists and engineers. The Swedish Club, a leading marine mutual insurer headquartered in Gothenburg and with offices in some of the world’s strategic shipping centres, was something of an innovator at its founding in 1872... and remains so to this day.
Proclaiming its “commitment to safe and pollution-free operation of vessels”, the Swedish Club is a true mutual, a non-profit-making organization owned and self-managed and under the direct control of its members, “an international community of front rank shipowners, who believe that quality comes first”. The Club wrote its first hull and machinery policy on 13 December 1872. The first entered ship, the year-old steamship Orvar Odd, was insured for a large sum at that time - over 400,000 Swedish dollars. By January of the following year, a total of 13 ships were 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 new steamship technology. The Suez Canal’s opening three years earlier had confirmed the viability of steamships. By the start of the 1890s they dominated the international shipping market, with improved fuel consumption, greater cargo capacity and voyage times set to previously unimaginable schedules.
Insurance costs were high, however, and insured values for The Swedish Club regularly exceeded half a million Swedish dollars. The country’s existing marine insurers declined to cover the new steam-powered vessels. Their loss was the Club’s gain! Newspaper advertising and a series of public meetings attracted more shipowners, and by the middle of 1873 the Club’s future appeared secure. It was in that year that the Club’s first casualty occurred. The steamer Danmark (insured value; 427,400 Swedish dollars) collided with a quay in the port of Stockholm, causing extensive damage to another vessel and a telegraph line. Seven months later, the Valhall, stranded on the west coast of Jutland, became the Club’s first total loss and required a call on the Club’s reinsurers. In 1878, the Club’s rules were amended to cover Norwegian and Danish steamers, but the Club made no inroads into the shipping communities of its Scandinavian neighbours. The Club then refocused its attention on establishing a classification society in Sweden. This idea, too, was shelved as the Swedish-flag fleet was deemed too small to support such an organization. The
Swedish Shipping 53
Club had greater success in 1906, however, when it proposed the creation of a trade association for the Swedish shipping industry. The Swedish Shipowners’ Association was established that same year in Gothenburg, where its headquarters remain to this day.
Swedish Shipping
By 1910, demand for protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance was growing rapidly in Sweden, where shipowners were required to have protection against personal injury, loss of life and collision liabilities. Despite an earlier reluctance to offer P&I insurance, on 8 December the imposingly titled Sveriges Ångfartygs Assurans Förenings Delägares Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag (“Swedish Steamship Assurance Club Members Mutual Insurance Company Protection & Indemnity”) was founded. This proved to be one of the most important developments in the Club’s history. Forty years on, the P&I Club was amalgamated with the Hull Club, in a first step towards creating the total service concept offered by the Club today.
54
The outbreak of war in 1914 presented the Club with new challenges and opportunities. The organization continued to offer hull cover for members during the war and assisted members by arranging war cover. The Second World War also passed without major disruption to Club activities. The only significant change in the following decades came in 1969, with the development of a new hull reinsurance programme - an excess quota share treaty placed mainly with Lloyd’s of London. In 1984, the Club introduced a third main class of insurance, freight demurrage and defence (FD&D). During the 1970s Swedish shipowners, until then the mainstay of the Club’s success, began to sell off their vessels, preferring to charter-in tonnage. In response, the Club ventured into the international market and in early 1971 the Flowergate, owned by UK-based Turnbull Scott Ltd, became the first non-Swedish vessel entered in the Club for Hull and Machinery cover. This marked the start of a comprehensive internationalization of the Club. Two overseas offices were opened in quick succession,
the first in Piraeus (1980) and the second in Hong Kong (1982), a process that continued into the 1990s with the establishment of service facilities in Tokyo in 1991 and, in 1992, the extension of the Club’s Hong Kong office to become the Swedish Club Service Centre, reflecting a new emphasis on direct service to members in Asia.
In December 2012, Managing Director Lars Rhodin told Swedish Club Board Members that growth during 2012 was in line with expectations. He noted that though the sharp rise in overall claims frequency seen during the 2009-2011 period had leveled off in 2012, costs of claims have risen, with claims inflation continuing in the 3-4 per cent range.
Loss prevention, a priority for the Club since it pioneered preentry surveys back in 1872, was greatly enhanced in 1994, when the Bridge Resource Management scheme was launched by The Swedish Club and other founder members, including the Swedish and Norwegian Shipowners’ Associations. In 1996, the Club made a premium refund to shipowners. A total of $3.5 million, or five per cent of premium, was distributed to members entered for hull insurance the previous year. The year culminated in the Club receiving official recognition of its quality management systems with ISO 9001 certification proof of its ongoing commitment to quality.
Safer shipping Analyses have shown that a great many dangerous shipboard situations arise due to poor communication or coordination, rather than technical failures or lack of skill. Common causes include: • A breakdown in communication between individuals • Preoccupation with minor technical problems • Failure to delegate tasks • Failure to detect deviations from standard operating procedures.
Swedish Shipping 55
It was to overcome these issues that the Swedish Club in the early 1990s joined forces with six other major maritime organisations and the SAS Flight Academy to establish the global Bridge Resource Management (BRM) training initiative. The transfer of expertise in resource management from the civil aviation sector to the maritime industries was one of the central aims in developing the BRM Course – the first-ever resource management training course for the shipping industry. Following further development of the original course, The Swedish Club has replaced the training term “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 business unit responsible for the further development of the MRM programme and related activities.
Swedish Shipping
Maritime Resource Management (MRM) is a training programme for ship’s officers, engineers, pilots and shore-based personnel. The aim is to increase knowledge about human capabilities and limitations and to safeguard positive attitudes to safety and teamwork. MRM is generally accepted to be a most efficient means of improving crew cooperation and minimizing the risk of accidents. The number of MRM training providers worldwide is rapidly increasing: the objective is that no-one should need to travel far for training.–

From Malmö to Shanghai “Shipping is probably the most international of the world’s industries, serving more than 90 per cent of global trade by carrying huge quantities of cargo cost effectively, cleanly and safely”, says the World Maritime University on its website. “The ownership and management chain surrounding any ship can embrace many countries and ships spend their economic life moving between different jurisdictions, often far from the country of registry. Therefore there is a need to regulate shipping by international standards.” That need has been met by the International Maritime Organization, whose main task has been to develop and maintain a comprehensive regulatory framework for shipping and its remit. In the early 1980s, it was recognized within IMO that there was a real shortage of well qualified, highly educated experts in around the world, particularly in developing countries. This led to the establishment of World Maritime University by IMO in 1983. The university was established thanks to the generosity of the Government of Sweden and the City of Malmö, both of which provide significant annual financial support. Other donors and benefactors provided both operating funds and student fellowships, enabling the University’s first class to be inaugurated on 4 July 1983.
Today, there are over 3,300 WMU graduates in (at latest count) 163 countries across the globe. “They are shaping the maritime sector of today and leading its development into the future”, WMU continues. “They hold senior positions – top managers, ministers of transport, directors of shipping companies, heads of maritime academies – as well as representing their home countries at international forums and organizations.” Describing itself as “an institution at the centre of the global network of maritime institutions, experts and practitioners”, WMU works with more than 100 international experts and professionals, both resident staff and visiting specialists, providing high-level technical education and research. Students are offered “direct and extensive access to the most modern technologies and methods in marine transportation and administration used in the industrial world”; many are involved in a wide range of national and international research projects. WMU offers only postgraduate degrees: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Science (MSc), and Postgraduate Diploma (PGD). In Malmö, a programme leading to a Master of Science in Maritime Affairs offers specialization in one of six areas: Maritime Safety & Environmental Administration, Maritime Law & Policy, Marine Environmental & Ocean Management, Port Management, Shipping Management and Maritime Education & Training.
In China, the university offers a Master of Science in International Transport & Logistics, and a Master of Science in Maritime Safety & Environmental Management in the cities of Shanghai and Dalian respectively, designed and taught by WMU professors. WMU offers two PhD programmes: Maritime Administration, taught in Malmö, and Maritime Law or International Commercial Law, taught jointly with the Swansea University in Britain, plus a postgraduate Diploma in Marine Insurance by distance learning, in association with Lloyd’s Maritime Academy. An extensive programme of short-term professional development courses attracts about 700 students each year. These courses are closely linked to specific units of the MSc programme which have been selected to offer high-quality professional updating. Individual clients can also arrange tailormade executive development programmes. WMU says it encourages applications from women, “who are currently under-represented in the field of maritime studies and employment”. By 2012 the proportion of women had risen to more than 30% of the annual WMU intake. Utilising resources better Despite its intrinsic merits, WMU has not remained immune from today’s straitened times. The institution faced the spectre of outright closure due to a paucity of funds in 2010. However, a £500,000 financing package spread over two years from the IMO technical co-operation fund has ensured that WMU gets a chance to set its house in order, and shape itself for a new future. Since then WMU has produced a strategic plan, a business plan and a development plan, focusing on its courses, the planning and management of its operations and a sustainable funding programme. This included the use of professional modelling tools to allocate and disburse WMU’s limited financial resources better. While it remains too early to be certain, all Sweden’s maritime constituents are hoping that the WMU strategic vision plan for 2010-2015 will give it a new lease of life. The government’s pledge in its shipping action plan to continue its share of financial support for WMU will certainly help.
Though it faces some challenges, Sweden’s shipping industry has grounds for optimism. Competitors envy its expertise while its superb educational programmes have won recognition throughout the world. And the government’s action plan commitment to working with the industry to find ways to boost the competitiveness of the Swedish shipping sector strikes a further positive note.
Swedish Shipping
As a further positive step, in 2013 the institution will move to a new location in the historic Tornhuset, with the addition of a new, architect-designed extension, in the heart of Malmö. WMU says the new 5,600 sq metre building will provide it with outstanding facilities for growth and expansion, a large auditorium and new research facilities.
Some of the grounds for such optimism are on display in the next section of this publication: a representative selection of Swedish companies which stand to grow and prosper as Swedish shipping continues to move from strength to strength.

Things are going well for Oresund Heavy Industries with subsidiaries in Landskrona –
Swedish Shipping
The Maritime Center in Europe
58
In early 2010, Oresund Heavy Industries acquired a facility formerly owned by the old shipyard of Landskrona. A facility that grows quickly as more companies want to establish themselves within the area. Over the past two years a lot happened at Oresund Heavy Industries with subsidiaries Oresund Drydocks and Oresund Steel Construction. We are working towards our target, to be the leading ship yard in Europe with our Maritime Center. We have accumulated considerable expertise in the maritime cluster and we have on-going negotiations with several companies interested to establish with us. During 2012 we invested and commissioning of a floating dock. We have had several large projects in the floating dock during the year. Tor Viking from Viking Supply Ships was the first vessel to dock followed by Fure Star, Ale, Bro Goliath, Maersk Assister from Maersk Supply and in the end of 2012 we welcomed DOF with their Skandi Sotra.
Jonas Hansson VD Oresund Heavy Industries
Besides this we have performed conversions on several ships, including stern conversion of the icebreaker Atle and ROV conversion on Njord Viking.
We also received a major order for construction of structures for renewable energy at sea, a design that will measure winds at sea for future wind farms. The construction was launched from the yard in February 2012. After targeted work Oresund Heavy Industries, Oresund Dry Docks & Oresund Steel Construction became, certified by DNV according to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
We are working hard and investing heavily in the facility in order to achieve greater flexibility of the yard. In addition to this we continue our work to expand capacity at the yard. Right now, we are planning for several expansions at the facility and we see a bright future in our business. This will also have impact on the entire region as it will lead to several new job opportunities.

As the first shipyard in the world, we participated in the conversion of Tarbit shipping M/T Bit Viking from oil to LNG operation. The work was performed in 2011 and involved both Oresund Dry Docks, the sister company Oresund Steel Construction in cooperation with Wärtsilä and Tarbit Shipping.
We are pleased and proud of the certifications and that despite the heavy industry we are, we managed to work out a way of working that reduce our impact on the environment. Our work does not end here, now we will continue to actively work with improvements. We have also begun the work on the OHSAS 18001 certification, which we expect to launch by the end of 2013. This will lead us to an even greater level in order to meet up with our customers’ demands for security and safety.

Premator AB blasting and coating Since its origin in 1976 Premator has acted as a contractor in the field of qualified corrosion control, principally in the maritime market. Already at the end of the ‘70s we carried out voyage repairs and water blasting, pioneering treatment techniques only recently applied as alternatives to conventional methods. Years of experience of work in 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 our customers the same high quality of performance, regardless of where the job is carried out. During the 35 years of Premator’s history we had the privilege to serve a large number of shipping companies who recognize and value quality and the feedback has been unanimously positive. We are proud to receive top rating from numerous ship superintendents whose reports reveal that they had not experienced such quality before.
Ya r d s
Ship Repair Over the years Premator has become a key player on the blasting and coating market of ship repair. The company has not only expanded geographically by opening of new branches/offices, but also developed significantly in terms of new technology and experience.
78
The techniques and options in corrosion prevention are varied, as are the merits of each approach. The true art is to melt together the advantages of the different treatment methods available, creating a durable result. Premator does not prescribe one particular treatment method at the expense of another. Based on more than 35 years’ experience of surface treatment, we can provide our customers with an honest chance to select a level suited to their budget.

New Building Premator New Building started when we became one of the main contractors in the very successful construction of Stena’s new passenger ferries, in Poland (1985-1988). Today Premator’s characteristic orange banners marking our working sites can be spotted all across the world.
So, when it comes to docking of your vessel, keep us in mind and give us a call. We have full confidence in our potential to provide you with a high quality cost effective surface treatment with on time delivery.
Tank Coating Tank coating is a general term that covers a lot of different phases. No part can be weaker or less developed than the other parts of what is a highly complex operation. We devote a great deal of time and effort to increasing the overall standard of surface preparation. This not only involves training and certification but also years of experience out in the field. There is no doubt that an improved standard of surface preparation will extend the in-service lifetime of any tank coating. High quality is the key to lasting performance and is by far the most economical method in the long term. Based on our experience of water blasting and grit blasting and all types of manual and chemical rust removal, we help our customers to select a level suited to their budget and expected in-service lifetime.
If you compare the blasting and painting projects of Ship Repair to New Building you find New Building a completely different story. Today it is common practice to contract sections or entire hulls to external workshops. Premator, as an active partner already at the design stage, follows the vessel step by step throughout her entire construction process. Our involvement begins at the initial stage in external workshops; therefore sparing our customer the problems and conflicts that may appear when using many different contractors. One example of this, in 2007 we started co-operation with the Kleven Yard in Ulsteinvik, Norway. Projects launched from the Kleven Yard include initial surface treatment on new vessels in Poland and finish treatment in Norway. This highlight our global potential and the benefits to our customers. In practice we are the best control solution, focusing on quality control and preliminary time schedules, on behalf of our client. Premator gave surface treatment quality a new name.

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

Alfa Laval Global marine supplier Alfa Laval now offers a set of sustainable solutions designed to help ship owners and operators comply with current and pending environmental regulations. Grouped under the conceptual name “Pure thinking”, the products will provide security as existing legislation is tightened, as well as compliance with new laws such as those that will regulate ballast water treatment. While most of the solutions can be retrofitted, incorporating them at the newbuilding stage will contribute to gaining DNV’s Clean Design class notation for the vessel under construction. PureBallast – a way to future-proof ship operation Shipyards and ship owners now purchasing, installing and commissioning ballast water treatment systems will be the ones best prepared for 2016, when the IMO Ballast Water Convention mandates that all ships in service must use ballast water treatment. Now in its second generation, Alfa Laval’s PureBallast is an easy-to-use ballast water treatment system with full type approval and a proven track record at sea. Offering green operation without chemicals, toxic residue or other safety hazards, it neutralizes the microscopic organisms that are generally taken in with ballast water. This eliminates the threat of biological invasions when water from one part of the world is released in another.
Ship’s Gear & Supplies
PureBallast 500 EX, generation 2.0, the second generation of the chemical-free PureBallast systems installed at Pandion bitumen tanker
Alfa Laval is a market-leading provider of solutions which, integrated into the designs of virtually all ship types, help ship owners and operators comply with increasingly stringent local and global environmental regulations. Like other Alfa Laval solutions, PureBallast is the result of continuous product development and extensive experience gained from cooperation with shipyards throughout the world.
PureBilge - first with DNV 5 ppm type approval For bilge water, the DNV Clean Design class notation stipulates a maximum of 5 ppm of oil remaining in the water after treatment, prior to pumping overboard. Although MARPOL regulations still stipulate 15 ppm, future legislation is expected to reduce the limit to 5 ppm. In 2011, DNV introduced a 5 ppm type approval process for marine bilge water separators. The first to be certified was PureBilge from Alfa Laval. PureBilge is the only system on the market that provides cleaning performance in real life conditions of 0-5 ppm oil content in the water without chemicals, adsorption filter or membranes. This performance is unaffected by sea heave, oil shocks or high solids loading, and no backflushing is required. The PureBilge system offers the full automation and remote control that will be required by the unmanned engine rooms of the future and is supplied with the fully integrated tamperproof BlueBox Bilge Data Recorder. In combination with PureBilge’s certified performance, the result is assured compliance with current and future legislation.
Alfa Laval PureBilge cleans oily wastewater onboard vessels under real-life operating conditions down to 0 to 5 ppm oil-in-water content without the use of chemicals, adsorption filters or membranes.

Damalini AB / Easy-Laser® Measurement and alignment systems for maintenance and construction Damalini AB develops, manufactures and markets precision measurement and alignment systems. Together with our distributors, we supply users in more than 70 countries with solutions for maintenance and construction work under the trademark Easy-Laser®. For the shipping industry Easy-Laser® offers systems for aligning propeller shaft installations (motor–gearbox–bearings– sterntube), flatness measurement of slewing bearings for cranes etc. Shipyards using Easy-Laser® are for example STX, Dalian DNS and ASRY. Diesel engine manufacturers such as MTU, MAN and Wärtsilä use the systems to measure straightness of bearing journals for cam and crank shaft. A third user group is service companies like Goltens and Metalock. Using EasyLaser® measurement systems they have the opportunity to perform accurate alignment, both in production and out in the Laser transmitter mounted at sterntube end field. The Easy-Laser® systems use the latest transmitter and detector technology. A visible red laserbeam is the reference for all measurements. The systems can measure objects up to 40 m [132 feet]. The detector reads 2-axis measurement values (horizontal and vertical), with a resolution of 0.001 mm [0.05 mils]. Compared to older methods, e.g. piano wire, the work is done much faster, easier and more accurately. You also have the ability to document the result. We take care of the entire chain internally, from idea to the end product. Whether you need a standard system or a special solution, we do everything we can to make you feel confident in your choice of measurement system. With over twenty five years experience, we have solved measurement and alignment problems for companies all over the world and in all industries.

Ship’s Gear & Supplies
Reverse Osmosis (RO) ENWA develops and manufactures desalination units based on Reverse Osmosis (RO). The products are used both onshore and offshore, and the units are costeffective, reliable and user-friendly. The supply of fresh water is an important issue in marine environments. ENWA’s products employing the RO process will in most circumstances be the most efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly way of safeguarding the water supply. Using ENWA’s proven RO technology eliminates the potential danger of contamination from bunker water. In addition, the RO Fresh Water Maker also significantly reduces the possibility of bacteriological contaminations such as Legionella and E-Coli.
Traditionally treatment is applied by means of hazardous chemicals. ENWA’s DNV approved (Report no 270113) EnwaMatic® technology provides a safe, economic, chemical-free and environmentally sustainable solution. EnwaMatic® is patented worldwide and has been approved by Wärtsilä Finland Oy as a recommended water treatment technology for fresh water cooling systems in Wärtsilä engines.

and biological fouling can reduce system efficiency, increase energy consumption and cause high maintenance costs.
ENWA BIN-X® chemical-free bacteriological barrier. Conditions in potable water distributions systems will often represent a threat to the quality of water and hence onboard safety. Waterborne outbreaks of i.e. Legionella or E.coli may develop. ENWA BIN-X® is a cost-effective, ultrafiltration system that prevents bacteria from entering and multiplying, without the more common use of UV systems or chemicals to neutralize it. With ENWA BIN-X®, all bacteria is actually removed from the water, rather than just killed. In the patented ENWA BIN-X system, the membranes are self maintained by an automatic flush technique. Consequently system maintenance is very limited.
Ballastwater Treatment Enwa has teamed up with Headway in order to supply ballast water treatment for our clients. Headway is one of the few suppliers worldwide that holds all the internationally required approvals within the industry.
ENWA BIN-X ® holds VA (water and discharge) approval for installation in potable water systems. It operates in high temperatures so both cold-and hot- water systems can be treated with the ENWA BIN-X®

SKF Coupling Systems AB Increase days at sea Reliable oil injection method Mounting and dismounting of heavy marine components are simplified by the SKF oil injection method. Precision products like OK shaft and flange couplings, Supergrip bolts and marine hydraulic nuts are based on this technology reducing operations that took hours or even days to a few, rapidly performed steps. Over the life a ship, the savings from the SKF oil injection method are quite substantial in terms of reduced docking time and related costs. OK shaft and flange couplings When using the OK coupling in shaft connections, you exploit potent oil injection technology. Preparation of the shaft is simple. No keyways to machine, no taper and no thrust rings. Ease of mounting and dismounting combined with high torque capacity are characteristics of the SKF OK couplings. The new OKX shaft and flange couplings for high-torque transmissions The OKX coupling facilitates new creative solutions in the shaft line. Since the torque capacity 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 large heavily loaded shafts. Marine hydraulic nut The SKF oil injection method is an outstanding alternative for mounting and dismounting propellers. It enables the driving of a 50-ton propeller up the shaft in twenty minutes and to dismount the propeller in ten minutes. The propeller is hydraulically pressed onto tapered seating by a hydraulic ring or nut. This is also the preferred method for mounting components like rudder pintles and tillers when short service time is a requirement.
Supergrip bolts are designed specifically for such high-torque applications as propeller shaft and rudder assemblies. Using Supergrip eliminates uncertainty about the length of downtime for removing and installing the bolts. Fully marine approved SKF precision-made products and systems are installed in a wide range of marine vessels all over the world. The products are approved for use by all leading international and national classification societies and regulatory bodies. SKF technology quality and service Since 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 around the world.

MARPOL Annex I - Bilge water
Bilge water separators have been used onboard ships for over 35 years and are necessary to ensure compliance with IMO MARPOL. The Bilge water separator is one of the most frequent detainable defiencies during Port State Controls and many crew members still experience problems with the oily water separator. The major part of the bilge water contaminants are emulsified due to the onboard use of different chemicals and chemical additivies and many of the OWS on the market are designed to comply with IMO Resolution MEPC.107(49) and not to shipboard conditions! An Integrated Bilge Water Treatment System (IBTS) is an efficient concept to minimize the amount of oily bilge water generated in machinery spaces and with an integrated means to process the oily bilge water and oil residues. Have you evaluated your Bilge water separator? Download free evaluation form on www.cleanship.se.
The IMO Resolution MEPC.159(55) is more stringent than MEPC.2(VI) and requires more complicated systems. A sewage treatment plant is approved based on; » Hydraulic load (litres per day) » Organic load (kg of BOD5 per day) A sewage treatment plant will deliver its certified performance in practice only if a system is correctly sized to match the sewage load produced by the vessel.
MARPOL Annex V - Garbage
The revised MARPOL Annex V entered into force on 1 January 2013 and prohibit the discharge of all garbage into the sea except as expressly permitted under certain circumstances for discharges of food wastes, cargo residues, deck wash waters, and animal carcasses.

AlfaTest specialized inspectors AlfaTest’s team of qualified inspectors specialize in Hull Inspection for the heavy Marine industry. We combine Class Approved Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM) with detailed ballast tank inspection (TCA) and reporting.
We are 3rd party and have no vested or conflict of interests and we take pride in our work which is to inspect, identify, suggest remedies and provide follow up services where necessary.
Certified by five IACS approved Classification Societies – LR, DNV, GL, BV, ABS; as well as the world’s two leading corrosion prevention organizations – FROSIO and NACE; AlfaTest personnel are trained to carry out detailed on board inspections professionally. We work closely with the owner’s Technical Departments, offering valuable assistance with the navigation of the processes of Special, Renewal and Intermediate Surveys.
1. Planning Crucial to a smooth and cost-effective process, we take planning seriously and exchange all relevant information with ship and technical departments before going on board.
We are approved to use six certified methods of Non Destructive Testing – VT (Visual Testing), UT (Ultrasonic Testing), MT (Magnetic Testing), PT (Penetrant Testing), ET (Eddy Current Testing), RT (Radiographic Testing). Our easy-to-read reports provide enough clear, detailed information to enable our customers to plan. UTM (Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement) Being a good UTM company requires expertise in Ultrasonic Testing, steel inspections, ship construction and a thorough understanding of IACS repair and survey rules. Being the best UTM company however, takes that and quite a bit more, as general manager Mark Denny explains. “Our company has been customer driven since its beginning in 2004. We identified very early that in most cases superintendents work under enormous pressures, often with near impossible schedules and severe financial restraints. Our mission is to help relieve them of some of these pressures”.
3. Reporting It is critical that official Class reports are correctly presented and submitted on time. It is equally critical that “owner only” reports are clear, concise, easily understood, and that they contain all relevant information needed to establish a complete scope of works for the next planned repair period. 4. Follow Through The key to ensuring a professional repair is supervision at the dockyard. Alfatest can act on the owner’s behalf to ensure all repairs are carried out in accordance with IACS rules and at the agreed price. This means that the superintendent’s valuable time can be then allocated to the other important jobs going on simultaneously during a docking. Upon completion, repairs are calculated to the Kg. Alfa Design Ltd Through 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. Contact AlfaTest or Alfa Design to discuss any proposals.
Services
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, it makes sense that our inspectors are not only skilled with steel construction and UTM, but also with piping systems, sounding systems, cathodic protection and Coating Determination.
2. Execution Professional, skilled inspectors work methodically through the agreed scope of works and always in cooperation with officers, ship’s routine and charter.

CA Clase Marinelektronik AB – with more than 100 years in the Marine Industry When Carl Albin Clase founded his company in 1912 he would probably be very proud if he could see his company today, more than 100 years later. From being a trading company towards the shipping industry and ship yards, dealing mostly with various mechanical components, CA Clase Marinelektronik AB has evolved to a highly technical company within Marine Electronics. As main business area is within navigational, communication and under water acoustic systems, we are representing many of the major suppliers in this field such as Sperry Marine, Kongsberg, Simrad, L3Klein and many more. Apart from supplying equipment to the merchant navy, a substantial part of our business is towards hydrographical institutions and companies, governmental ships including the Swedish Navy.

Our company’s roots trace all the way back to the 1910s. In the heyday of the shipyards, our company was the in-house laboratory at the Götaverken shipbuilding company. When the shipyards were gradually decommissioned, the laboratory became an independent and unaffiliated company.
