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. There are also certain routes that have dense passenger traffic, e.g., Helsinki–Stockholm and Helsinki–Tallinn. Perhaps the most interesting development, however, has been the rapid development of Baltic and Russian seaports: old ports have been rehabilitated, new terminals and berths are under construction. One tendency has been the increase of oil transportation, especially in the Gulf of Finland (GOF). This report contains an analysis of the current maritime traffic of the Baltic Sea. A special attention is focused on the oil transportation and the forecast of the future development. The main ports and their basic development plans are also presented. The work was funded by the Finnish Environment Institute and the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications.

  • Geopolitical Impact on Transformation of Territorial Organization of Russian Pipeline Transport in the Post-Soviet Time
    International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy ISSN: 2146-4553 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy, 2016, 6(4), 782-788. Geopolitical Impact on Transformation of Territorial Organization of Russian Pipeline Transport in the Post-Soviet Time Tatyana I. Pototskaya1*, Alexander P. Katrovskiy2, Vladimir I. Chasovskiy3 1Department of Geography, Natural-Geographical Faculty, Smolensk State University, Smolensk Oblast, Russia, 2Department of Service and Tourism, Smolensk Humanitarian University, Smolensk, Russia, 3Department of Geography, Land Use and Spatial Planning, Institute of Environmental Management, Territorial Development and Urban Construction, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Russia. *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article presents the research on transformation of territorial organization of Russian pipeline transport in the post-Soviet time, considering its relations with neighbouring countries. The research identifies general ways of such transformation: The influence of Russia’s desire to escape from the dictate of the transit countries exporting energy; the impact of Russia’s struggle for the transportation of gas and oil extracted in the Caspian Sea basin; the influence of the struggle for the transportation of oil and gas in the Asia-Pacific region. A new database including the main pipelines and sea ports in Russia, revealed correlations in the development of pipeline transport in the post-Soviet period with the development of infrastructure of the country’s sea transport. The article identifies positive changes in the transport infrastructure (construction of Russian alternative pipeline projects), which will reduce the degree of Russian dependence on relations with neighbouring countries, as well as negative changes (construction of alternative Russian pipeline projects).

    EXCHANGE RATE 1 Euro = 1.238 US dollar = 3.44 Lytas = 130 Yen (as of end of January 2004) PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter referred to as “GOL”), the Government of Japan decided to conduct a Study on the Port Development Project in the Republic of Lithuania and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected and dispatched a study team to Lithuania three times between March 2003 and June 2004, which was headed by Mr. Kiyokuni Okubo of Nippon Koei Co. Ltd. (NK). The team held discussion with the officials concerned of the GOL and conducted the field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted studies and prepared this report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of the friendly relationship between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of GOL for their close cooperation extended to the team. September 2004 Kazuhisa Matsuoka Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL September 2004 Mr. Kazuhisa Matsuoka Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency Dear Mr. Matsuoka It is my great pleasure to submit herewith the Final Report of “The Study on the Port Development Project in the Republic of Lithuania”.

Ports enable the carriage of goods by sea, thus they are subject changes triggered by many factors: changes in the socio-economic structures of the regions they serve, changes in legislation, changes due to environmental issues and so on. Adapting to changes requires a proactive and collaborative attitude from the whole port community. Ports need to be aware of the factors that cause change but they can also affect their own future by creating demand, establishing new relations and by attracting shipowners.
