Key Messages from HELCOM Emissions from Baltic Sea shipping during 2006 were found to be larger than previously reported. Baltic Sea ship emissions from 2006 are comparable with: NOx, 370 kt/year /year:: Combined land-based emission sources of Finland and Sweden (382 kt/year) SOx, 159 kt/year /year:: Combined land-based emission sources of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway (155 kt/year) CO2, 17.4 Mt/year: : Combined emission of all modes of transport (air, sea, road, rail) in Finland (14.4 Mt/year) Energy consumption, 226 PJ: Combined energy consumption of all modes of transport in Finland (227 PJ) Ringsted, Denmark Slide 8

Policy relevance, policy reference and coherence with HELCOM Roughly one third of the nitrogen loads to the Baltic Sea arrives through atmospheric deposition. In contrast to the waterborne load,, the atmospheric load is estimated to be almost entirely anthropogenic (Stipa et al, in prep). The atmospheric deposition is also readily available for the eutrophication of offshore marine areas. Shipping has been identified as the source of atmospheric NOx deposition with a Baltic-wide share of 16% (Bartnicki,, 2007), with the share reaching 50% of the NOx deposition in the summertime in northern Baltic Sea S (Stipa( et al, 2007). 50% of the air borne nitrogenloads fromshipping Ringsted, Denmark Slide 10

Achievements of New Hansa Memorandum of Understanding on Sustainable Port and Maritime Policy in the Baltic Sea Region One cable shore side electricity system developed COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 8 May 2006 on the promotion of shore-side side electricity for use by ships at berth in Community ports Four shoreside electricity systems installed in Stockholm, Lübeck, Kema, Uolu (ex-post) Ringsted, Denmark Slide 12
Indirect achievements of New Hansa Inclusion of shoreside electricity in the Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union Inclusion of shoreside electricity in European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Inclusion of shoreside electricity in COM(2006)545 final Action Plan for Energy Efficiency: Realising the Potential Inclusion of economic incentives in the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan Ringsted, Denmark Slide 13
What New Hansa has not achieved yet A measurable reduction of emissions on Baltic Sea level A mass multiplatication of pilots Introduction of gas or LNG as ship s fuels Concerted avoidance of sewage and food waste Ringsted, Denmark Slide 14
What Green Ferries wants to achieve Contribute to avert Baltic Sea acidification (SO X, CO 2 ) Contribute to avert Baltic Sea eutrophication (NO X ) Contribute to slow down climate change Multiplication of shoreside electricity to as many as possible ports and ships Introduce natural gas, bio gas, liquid natural gas and liquid bio gas as green fuel for as many as possible ports and ships Ships to deliver their waste and wastewater to ports Ringsted, Denmark Slide 15
