Abstract
Around 2,000 sizeable ships are normally at sea at any
time in the Baltic, including large oil tankers, ships
carrying dangerous and potentially polluting cargoes, and
many large passenger ferries. The Baltic Sea has some of
the busiest shipping routes in the world. Marine chemical
transportation is constantly growing, in regard with the
number of chemicals and the total volume of goods
transported. Great deal of these chemicals is dangerous
to the environment.
