Abstract

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Parliament (EP) decided in 2005 and 2012 to establish Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA) in Northern Europe where operating ships from 2015 must use fuel with low sulphur content not exceeding 0.1%. Some of the first reactions were seen with vessels operating in the Baltic Sea, which had switched to low sulphur content fuel or LNG. Meanwhile, the SECA regulations have spurred intensive discussions concerning the economic disadvantages that seem to have been created for maritime stakeholders who must comply with strict regulations, which competitors in other parts of the world are not subjected to.
This paper presents the first results on measures taken by stakeholders towards sulphur emission reduction, and stakeholders’ impressions of the financial impact of SECA regulations on their businesses and Baltic Sea Region (BSR). Results show that the BSR is in the forefront of clean shipping campaigns and that the maritime stakeholders attribute significant SECA impacts to innovation and reputation of BSR. This contribution will improve the development of using the BSR as a test bed for future integrated knowledge for cleaner and more cost-effective shipping globally.
