  • In Airplane and Ferry Passenger Stories in the Northern Baltic Sea Region
    VARSTVOSLOVJE, Risk, Safety and Freedom of Journal of Criminal Justice and Security, year 18 Movement: no. 2 pp. 175‒193 In Airplane and Ferry Passenger Stories in the Northern Baltic Sea Region Sophia Yakhlef, Goran Basic, Malin Åkerström Purpose: The purpose of this study is to map and analyse how travellers at an airport and on ferries experience, interpret and define the risk, safety and freedom of movement in the northern part of the Baltic Sea region with regard to the border agencies. Design/Methods/Approach: This qualitative study is based on empirically gathered material such as field interviews and fieldwork observations on Stockholm’s Arlanda airport in Sweden, and a Tallink Silja Line ferry running between Stockholm and Riga in Latvia. The study’s general starting point was an ethno-methodologically inspired perspective on verbal descriptions along with an interactionist perspective which considers interactions expressed through language and gestures. Apart from this starting point, this study focused on the construction of safety as particularly relevant components of the collected empirical material. Findings: The study findings suggest that many passengers at the airport and on the ferries hold positive views about the idea of the freedom of movement in Europe, but are scared of threats coming from outside Europe. The travellers created and re-created the phenomenon of safety which is maintained in contrast to others, in this case the threats from outside Europe. Originality/Value: The passengers in this study construct safety by distinguishing against the others outside Europe but also through interaction with them. The passengers emphasise that the freedom of movement is personally beneficial because it is easier for EU citizens to travel within Europe but, at the same time, it is regarded as facilitating the entry of potential threats into the European Union.

It was pointed out at the meeting that all passenger vessels regularly calling at Finnish ports are subjected to safety inspections. These inspections also include foreign vessels. The inspections are based on both international conventions and national legislation. As a response to the Estonia disaster, the parties decided on the following additional measures to be taken: 1. Inspection of bow doors in Finnish car and rail ferries The National Board of Navigation was to inspect urgently the bow and stern doors of all car and rail ferries that fly the Finnish flag and call at Finnish ports. The inspection was to include both condition and functioning of the doors as well as their alarm and monitoring systems and was to be completed within a week. The National Board of Navigation was also to verify that the passenger vessels, car and rail ferries maintain such routines that the closing of all cargo doors is secured before departure. These inspections were completed by October 8th, as follows: Vessel Year of Build Type of bow door Date Cinderella -89 butterfly type 29.09.
