The Fixed Fehmarn Belt Link Between Denmark and Germany and Its The fixed Fehmarn Belt link between Denmark and Germany and its importance for the economic growth By Brian Gardner Mogensen, Department in the Danish Capital Head of Transport Region Economics, Grontmij Geograhfic overview – North-Vest Europe Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link Fehmern Belt Fixed Link – Design Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link - Facts Price 41 billions DKK / Government-guaranteed loans Length 19 km / 11,9 miles Payment Model User funded Trafic - 10,800 vehicles per day - 3,800 train passengers per day - 1,300 train wagons per day The goal of the paper is to analyze the effects of the fixed Femern Baelt- connection with regard to the change in traffic flows and the impact on growth in the Capital Region in 2030. Capital Approach - The direct effects caused by changes in the traffic flows are inserted as initial impulse in a regional economic input-output model for the Capital Region of Denmark. - The initial impulse or primary effect can be defined as changes in employment and/or the revenue in one of the examined industries and the derived output consists of changes in direct, indirect and induced employment, production, gross value added and tax revenue in the remaining economy in the region The expected changes as to traffic flows are based on the Fehmarn Belt Traffic Consortium's official forecast from 2003, supplemented with more recent data and forecasts. Traffic flows are projected to 2030 when it is expected that traffic flows will have adapted to the new infrastructure. Basic assumptions The opening year for the fixed connection 2021 Annual growth of the ferry traffic for the period until the opening of the connection in 2021 2.3 % p.a. Traffic growth in the first 5 years after the opening of the connection 1.7 % p.a. Growth in the train traffic for the originally planned opening year (2015) and the postponed opening year (2021) No changes Induced car traffic (initial effect) 40 % Phasing of the induced car traffic 5 years Phasing of the induced car traffic including the opening of the land works on the German 7 year after the opening year side of the fixed link (rail/road) The general growth in the Capital Region is first determined in order to get a base for the extrapolation and in order to discuss the expected effect of the fixed connection over Femern Baelt in 2021 and 2030: - Population - Labor force and employment - Occupational structure and growth - Gross value added - Productivity - Export In the further analysis, focus on the manufacturing, detail, construction & plant and tourism industries, since these make up the primary inputs in the further analysis. Growth rates in the different industries within the capital region are calculated: - Employment Manufacturing - Gross value added - Export - Employment Retail - Gross value added - Production Construction - Employment - Supply and demand of labor - Commuting - Overnight stays Tourism - Revenue - Value added - Employment - Case – the so-called Green STRING- corridor (Scania-Hamburg) Method, Manufacturing: No clear information on how the future freight transports over the Femern Baelt related to export and import (and transit transport) will evolve It was decided to calculate the potential marginal effect pr. 1 mill. DKK of more/less exported freight Method, Retail trade: In relation to mapping the effects of the fixed Femern Baelt-connection for the retail trade in the Capital Region it has not been possible to identify an unambiguous effect, as different trends with different effects can occur. Due to this, it has not been possible to concretize data for calculations in the input-out model, i.e. a qualitative assessment has been conducted considering the following trends (partially based on observations for the Danish-German border in Sourthern Jutland): - More competition on both side of the connection to be expected - Increased traffic will increase the growth potential for the retail trade - Cross-border shopping is expected to gain a larger share of the Danish retail trade - German stores supply more and more Danish products, and they hire Danish labor (Not relevant on Zealand though) Conclusion: - A larger pressure on the Danish retail trade in the area around the fixed connection to be expected - A limited number of Danes will find employment in the retail trade in Northern Germany Method, Construction industry: The effects caused by the fixed link in relation to the general development in the construction industry can be evaluated and data for the input-out model can be estimated. Trends: - More competition on both side of the connection - Increased traffic will increase the growth potential for the construction industry Conclusion: - The construction industry in the capital region will not experience any visible effect on the availability of labor as a result of a fixed Fehmarn Belt link. - Commuting as a result of the fixed Fehmarn Belt link will not change significantly - All in all, the total number of more commuters from Germany to the Capital Region in the construction industry in 2030, resulting in an employment-crease in the number of 15 persons, which is not yielding significant secondary economic effects. Method, Tourism: The effects are calculated separately for the car and train travelers and are defined as changes in the number of overnight stays and the corresponding economic effects. Existing information and rapports are used to evaluate the effects of the changes in traffic flows on tourism. Trends: - Wonderful Copenhagen’s tourist rapport from 2011 shows that foreign tourists on average have 3 overnight stays per trip which on average amount to 676,000 additional days of overnight stays in 2030. Multiplying this with the average consumption of 466 kr. per overnight stay for foreign tourists this results in additional revenues of 315 mill. DKK in 2030. - 57 % of all passenger transport across the Fehmarn Belt will be tourist related and 44 % of these travels will be to Eastern Denmark. According to Eurostat, 72 % of all travelers will be Germans. This means a total number of 177,000 in 2030. The expected revenue in the Capital Region will thus be approximately 247 mil. DKK in 2030.

Thus, the cases help to clarify whether the Fehmarn Belt-connection can expected to have a positive or negative effect on the growth in the respective transport hubs. The three cases are the Capital Region’s three big transport hubs. 1) Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) 2) Høje Taastrup Transportcenter (HTTC) 3) Copenhagen Airport (CPH) The case studies are based on existing knowledge and interviews with experts and decision-makers at the transport hubs. Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) - CMP is a Danish-Swedish port company and the result of the fusion of Københavns Havn A/S and Malmø Havn AB in 2001. - CMP manages a range of different freight types such as: 。Dry Bulk, e.g.: salt, sugar, corn, construction materials, metal etc. 。Liquid Bulk, e.g.: gasoline, oil, chemicals etc. Container freight 。RoRo freight ( trailers) 。Cars Høje Taastrup TransportCenter (HTTC) - HTTC consider itself to be a regional centre for freight forwarding, logistics and warehousing in the Capital Region - There is a rail/road-terminal in connection with HTTC, that is operated by the company DB Schenker Rail Scandinavia (owned by DB - German Railways) Copenhagen Airport (CPH) - CPH serves as a hub for the airline company SAS while a range of other airline companies operate from the airport. - CPH is currently a workplace for approximately 22,000 people Main conclusions, case studies It can be concluded that CMP, overall, will not get affected 1) Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) positively or negatively in the form of an increase of revenue and/or more jobs by the future Fehmarn Belt-connection.

In unserer Arbeit hat sich bei der Berechnung der Art-Areal-Beziehungen der Inseln der Nord- und Ostsee ein Fehler eingeschlichen.

  • 555 the Regime of Passage Through the Danish Straits Alex G. Oude
    The Regime of Passage Through the Danish Straits Alex G. Oude Elferink* Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea, Utrecht University, The Netherlands ABSTRACT The Danish Straits are the main connection between the Baltic Sea and the world oceans. The regime of passage through these straits has been the subject of extensiveregulation, raising the question how different applicable instruments interact. Apart from applicable bilateral and multilateral treaties, it is necessaryto take into account the practice of Denmark and Swedenand other interested states, and regulatory activities within the framework of the IMO. The Case ConcerningPassage Through the Great Belt before the ICJ provides insights into the views of Denmark and Finland. The article concludesthat an 1857treaty excludesthe applicabilityof Part III of the LOS Convention to the straits, and that there are a number of difficultiesin assessingthe contents of the regimeof the straits. At the same time, these uncertaintiesdo not seem to have been a complicatingfactor for the adoption of measuresto regulate shipping traffic. Introduction The Danish Straits are the main connection between the Baltic Sea and the world oceans. The straits are of vital importance for the maritime communication of the Baltic states and squarely fall within the legal category of straits used for international navigation For a number of these states the Baltic Sea is the only outlet to the oceans (Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland). Although * An earlier version of this article was presented at the international conference, The Passage of Ships Through Straits, sponsored by the Defense Analyses Institute, Athens, 23 October 1999. The author wishes to thank the speakers and participants at that conference for the stimulating discussions, which assisted in preparing the final version of the article.

  • Zero-Emission Ferry Concept for Scandlines
    Zero-Emission Ferry Concept for Scandlines Fridtjof Rohde, Björn Pape FutureShip, Hamburg/Germany Claus Nikolajsen Scandlines, Rodby/Denmark Abstract FutureShip has designed a zero-emission ferry for Scandlines’ Vogelfluglinie (linking Puttgarden (Germany) and Rødby (Denmark), which could be deployed by 2017. The propulsion is based on liquid hydrogen converted by fuel cells for the electric propulsion. The hydrogen could be obtained near the ports using excess electricity from wind. Excess on-board electricity is stored in batteries for peak demand. Total energy needs are reduced by optimized hull lines, propeller shape, ship weight and procedures in port. 1. Introduction The “Vogelfluglinie” denotes the connection of the 19 km transport corridor between Puttgarden (Germany) and Rødby (Denmark), Fig.1. This corridor has been served for many years by Scandlines ferries, which transport cars and trains. Four ferries serve two port terminals with specifically tailored infrastructure, Fig.2. The double- end ferries do not have to turn around in port, which contributes to the very short time in port. Combined with operating speed between 15 and 21 kn, departures can be offered every 30 minutes. After decades of unchal- lenged operation, two developments appeared on the horizon which changed the business situation for Scandli- nes fundamentally: 1. New international regulations would curb permissible thresholds for emissions from ships in the Baltic Sea: Starting from 2015, only fuels with less than 0.1% sulphur, i.e. a 90% reduction compared to present opera- tion, will be permissible for Baltic Sea shipping. Starting from 2016, Tier III of MARPOL’s nitrogen oxides (NOx) regulations will become effective.

  • Die Via Scandinavica
    Die Via Scandinavica vom Fehmarnbelt über Kloster Cismar nach Lübeck als Fortsetzung des skandinavischen Jakobsweges und der Pilgerwege nach Rom und Jerusalem. Der genaue Verlauf des Weges ist nicht mehr bekannt und hat sich im Laufe der Zeit vermutlich mehrfach verändert. Daher sollte man sich zunächst vor Augen führen, wie die Menschen vor fast 1000 Jahren gereist bzw. gepilgert sind. Es gab zu der Zeit noch keinen Kompass, die Vielzahl der Menschen konnte nicht lesen. „Auch Brücken über die Flüsse gab es nicht“ 1. Folglich musste der Pilgerweg leicht zu finden und durch unverwechselbare Landmarken gekennzeichnet sein. Solche Landmarken konnten der Küstenverlauf, Bach- oder Flussläufe, Megalithgräber oder zu späteren Zeiten auch Kirchtürme sein. Große Wald- oder Sumpfgebiete wurden wegen der allgemeinen Gefahren gemieden. Von daher kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass der Pilgerweg in Sichtweite zur Küste verlief, also maximal ca. 5 km (ist die mögliche theoretische Sichtweite einer erwachsenen Person 2 ) zur Küste, auf einem natürlichen Höhenweg, um Sumpf- und Feuchtgebiete zu umgehen. Das passieren von Flüssen und Bächen an seichten und schmalen Stellen, um möglichst mit Hilfe von großen Steinen oder von Fährleuten, trockenen Fußes das andere Ufer zu erreichen. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Faktoren dürfte sich eine Linie ergeben, die dem ursprünglichen Pilgerweg sehr nahe kommt. Im Laufe der Zeit erhielt ein solcher Weg mehrere Veränderungen. Die erste dürfte sicherlich durch die erste Flurbereinigung, die sogenannte „Verkoppelung“ etwa um 1770 eingetreten sein. Kurze Zeit später zur Zeit Napoleons wurden die Straßen und Wege aus militärischen Gründen verbreitert, da im Schlamm stecken gebliebene Fuhrwerke die nachrückenden Truppen aufhielten. Folglich wurden die Wege verbreitert und die Kurvenradien erweitert, sowie Brücken erneuert.
