Olga Dt:Tbicka, M.Sc.Econ. the Baltic Sea Is Characterized by a High Bulletin of the Maritime Institute Gdansk, 1996, 23, 1 Olga Dt:tbicka, M.Sc.Econ. Department of Foreign Cooperation Maritime Institute, Gdansk, Poland FERRY SHIPPING ON THE BALTIC SEA - POLISH CASE Abstract The Baltic Sea is characterized by a high activity of ferry and ro-ro shipping, although density offeny connections is different in separate region of that aquen. Economic, social and political changes in Central and East Europe, aspiration for countries' integration within the Baltic sub-region are the features which create new development possibilities for ferry shipping linking Scandinavian countries with Central and East Europe. The above processes are followed by growing competition, either be­ tween ferry lines and with alternative transport routes. Central localization of Poland in Europe, especially its location on the European North-South route, along with comparatively small distance 'from Scandinavian countries are the features which predispose Polish p01ts and feny operators to serve either container (ro-ro streams and passenger) cargo feny traffic. The presented factors forces new outlook on the operation of feny corridors passing through Polish ports. The Baltic Sea is proved to be interesting water area while regar­ ding transport services. Despite its rather small size, the volume of total cargo turnover on the Baltic amounts up to 8% of the world seaborne trade. Recently, almost 300 million tonnes of cargo is ship­ ved on the Baltic, including 40% of cargo transportation in Baltic 46 0 . Dc;bicka relations and 60% of shipments in external relations. Internal Baltic trade, amounting 120 million tonnes, is divided into international transportation (75 million tonnes) and cabotage (45 million tonnes). A share of sea route in the transportation of internal Baltic trade defers depending on the countries. The biggest one is observed in Scandinavian trade- with sea route amounting 61 % in export and 86% in import. A high concentration of the short sea and ro-ro lines is proved to be a characteristic feature of the Baltic transportation market, how­ ever separate regions of that aquen noted different density of ferry connections. There are about 40 ferry operators on the Baltic Sea operating about 130 ferries. The volume of Baltic ferry transportation has been steady increasing recently. The growth is observed either in passenger and in cargo transportation. At the same time, essential structural changes took place in the Baltic ferry shipping. Beside passenger-car ferries serving most of all passenger movements, more and more ro-ro units have been entered into operation. The construc­ ted ferries are bigger and modern, offering higher standard of services. The ports and harbours are being modernized and developed, beco­ ming large passenger ports and transhipment centres. All these factors make the competition in ferry shipping become more sharp. 1 Baltic ferry traffic is concentrated on four main transport routes : • western route: linking Scandinavia, Germany and Poland- embra­ cing ca. 75% of passengers' ferry transportation on the Baltic; • central-eastern route: linking Sweden with Finland, Russia and Estonia- embracing over 20% of passengers' ferry transportation; • eastern-western route: linking Finland with Germany and Poland­ serving only 0.12% of Baltic traffic; • central route: linking Sweden with Gdansk agglomeration and Ryga, which serves 3.5% of passengers' ferry traffic. 1 Szwankowski S. and others, 1995, Polish Transport System in the Network of Baltic Connections, WW IM 5041. (In Polish). Ferry shipping on th e Baltic Sea - Po lish case 47 The Baltic ferry market is a segment of the European transit market in the North-South direction. The market constitutes a perfect trans­ port network linking Scandinavia with West and Central Europe - used to serve majority of passenger and cargo transportation in that region. Up to now, central Baltic with ports of Gdansk and Gdynia are the area of small intensity of ferry traffic. However, economic and political changes in Central and Eastern Europe have resulted in completely new economic situation in the Baltic Sea region. That factor, along with integration of the Baltic Europe, creates new possibilities for ferry shipping linking Scandinavian countries with Central and East Europe. New attitude towards maritime shipping, agreed on conference of Ministers of Trans­ port of Baltic countries, provides for further development and promotion of ferry services, coastal and short sea shipping. Central localization of Poland in Europe, on the European North­ South Transport Corridors, undoubtedly favour Polish ports to serve as base ports for ro-ro and ferry lines on the Baltic, and create new possibilities for Polish ferry operators for serving cargo and passenger movements on that route. Polish ferry operators have served Baltic cargo and passenger mo­ vements for 30 years, going through many reorganization, in that through the state's allocation offerries by their types. At present, their share in the Baltic ferry transportation is rather small - amounting ca 1% in total passenger transportation, 5% in cargo shipment. Nowadays there are three Polish ferry armators who operate on the Baltic routes. The Polish Baltic Shipping Co. (with head quarter in Kolobrzeg) is the leading one, followed by the Euroafrica (co-owned by the Polish Shipping Line) and by newly established company Unity Line -a joint venture of the Polish Steamship Company and Euroafrica. In 1994 total number of Polish ferries being engaged in serving connections between Poland and Scandinavia amounts 9 of 80,493 BRT, in that 2 rail ferries of 17,315 BRT and 7 passenger-car ferries of 63,178 BRT.

Moreover, a new Polish company has been established in Malmo port which rent part of port's territory in order to serve, among others, Polish ferries. The line Gdynia-Karlskrone, operated by Corona Line till April 1995, was cancelled. That line - the youngest one in Poland - after three years of activities, operating only one ferry was able to take over 25% of Polish-Scandinavian passenger traffic and over 10% of cargo movements. Despite the capital weakness of the three follo­ wing operators, the number of calls at Gdynia ferry terminals incre­ ased from 133 in 1991 to 217 in 1994, passenger shipments increased by fourth times and cargoes by 6 times. Of course, as it was already mentioned, Polish operators handles slight part of Baltic trade. Such situation results, among others, from the fact that majority of ferry transportation is connected with very intensive "cross" trade between Scandinavian countries- that market's segment is practically not available for Polish operators. However, nowadays one can observe serious possibilities of reviving "length­ ways" and "diagonal" connections- what should work up an interest in Polish ferry operators. That tendency is foreboded by association of Sweden and Finland with the European Union.

SPECIALISATION IN RO-RO SHIPPING IN THE SOUTH BALTIC SEA Johan Woxenius Dept of Business Administration, School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg, Box 610, SE-405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] Submitted 11 March 2011; accepted 4 July 2011 Abstract. The trade-off between flexibility and specialisation implies delicate tasks for transport system design- ers and marketing managers. The outcome of their efforts ranges from highly specialised solutions for a restricted number of users and types of cargoes to very open systems for common use adapted to accommodate a wide variety of transport demands. The purpose of this article is to adapt theories on openness and trade-offs, characterise a selec- tion of flexible and specialised European short sea shipping concepts and analyse how substantial changes in the future character of the competition with road and rail can affect the development of ro-ro shipping in the South Baltic Sea. A matrix with commercial openness and technological openness on the axes is used for categorising sub-segments in the empirical context of the South Baltic Sea. Foreseeable changes in key cost and competition parameters until 2020 are taken into account in discussing potential scenarios. A plausible outcome for the ferry/ro-ro shipping segment is that a branch with slow services for unaccompanied freight will be diverted from the current homogenous market of- ferings. During the study, the Swedish Orient Line launched a service with these characteristics, which is analysed in a case study.
