Surrounded by nine countries, it also has some of the densest maritime traffic in the world. In addition, the Baltic Sea has proved to be an important inter-modal link between various logistical chains, and moreover, a link to Russia. The Baltic Sea has also served a crucial role as a route for the gas pipeline from Russia to Europe. During recent decades, there has been a significant increase in maritime traffic, specifically in container vessel traffic throughout the world. The traffic in the Baltic area has not only increased, but the nature of the traffic has also changed rapidly. Today, many of the shipping routes consist of frequent traffic, where fast ships are running between seaports on a fixed timetable.
