Shortsea Promotion Centre (SPC) Finland

SPC Finland • SPC Finland is the national centre

for the promotion of shortsea shipping and intermodality – intermodal transport solutions that combine shortsea shipping with rail, road and inland waterways

• recognized by the EU and Finnish Ministry of Transport andCommunications

Associations and unions of • Ship owners • Ship brokers • Forwarders• Industry• Ports• Port operators• Road transport • Railways (VR ltd VR Cargo)

Regions • Satakunta region • Ostrobothnia • Government of Åland islands

Ministry of Transport and Communications

Members of the Executive Committee

represent the intermodal transport chain

SPC Finland’s activities• Promotion and information dissemination

– information on shortsea shipping and intermodal services – Information on EU transport policies and replies to consultations– Information on funding schemes: SPC Finland is a contact point for Marco Polo

with Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications

• Platform in the transport chain: channel of influence and round table for actors >

seminars and workshops • Studies and reports

– a survey on the status of intermodal transportation in Finland– ship owner barometer

ShipNODep –project (www.shipnodeff.org)

• ShipNODep is Interreg IIIA co-operation programme between Finland and Estonia

• ShipNODep links (1) the real-time emission inventory to (2) atmospheric dispersion and deposition models and further to (3) marine ecosystem models

• For the first time ship emissions are calculated with advanced technique based on the Automatic Identification System –data provided by HELCOM

no new emission limits fordiesel engines

Results:

– NOx emissions of Baltic shipping are more than 370 000 tons

– SOx emissions of Baltic shipping are more than 148 000 tons

– With IMO Tier 2 and Tier 3 regulations (represented by IMO/MEPC 57 in spring 2008) the NOx emissions of Baltic shipping can be turned to decrease in 2019Source: ShipNODep
