And in mid-January, NATO launched “Baltic Sentry” – a naval protection fleet formed of frigates maritime patrol aircraft and drones that will tackle the “reckless activities of vessels serving Russian cargo flow” Taiwan is also following suit after a Chinese-linked cargo vessel damaged an undersea communication cable to the north of the island in early January Clearly, NATO has had enough.

The company said that replacing fossil coke with biocoke could reduce roughly half of its direct CO2 emissions Investments towards reducing these emissions were essential for Outokumpu to cut costs as free carbon allowances in the European Emissions Trading System (ETS) would be potentially phased out in the future "We are proud that our stainless steel has the lowest carbon footprint in the industry and we are progressing steadily towards our target to reduce our emission intensity across our direct indirect and supply chain emissions by 42 per cent by 2030 from a 2016 base year biocoke represents the best available technology to decrease our direct emissions and we are investigating also other innovations as well as the use of carbon capture technology to achieve further reductions,” commented Stefan Erdmann Customer Service+49 7224 9397-701servicenoSpam@GO-AWAYeuwid.de Editorial Team+49 7224 9397-0recyclingnoSpam@GO-AWAYeuwid.com Get the latest news about developments and trends in the industry sent to you once a week free of charge by newsletter Sign up for our newsletter We use cookies and external services on our website others enhance your user experience or help us improve this website You can change your privacy settings any time by clicking privacy policy Necessary cookies are required for the correct functioning of the website Content from video and social media platforms is blocked by default.

It is not yet clear when the shipowner will implement this plan "The shipping company has announced that the tugs will arrive on Monday." A spokesperson for the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies was initially unable to say what time of day this would be "It is not known where they are to take the ship," the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies also announced it was initially unclear why there was a blackout on board The almost 20-year-old tanker with almost 100,000 tons of oil on board was wrecked in the Baltic Sea north of Rügen on Friday the ship drifted in the Baltic Sea for hours Rescue teams finally managed to establish towing connections to the "Eventin" on the high seas on Friday afternoon This enabled the ship to be towed off the coast of Sassnitz The weather conditions at sea had slowed down the towing process considerably with waves up to four meters high at times Doctor checks the crew's state of health According to the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies there is currently no danger to the environment the ship is watertight and the situation is considered stable The weather had also calmed down further and the wind had died down "The chosen position also offers protection from the northerly winds," said the CCME There are still 24 crew members on board the tanker heating and running water since the total failure A doctor and a paramedic were therefore lowered onto the ship on Sunday afternoon Their task was to check the crew's state of health and they returned from the ship with good news: "They do not currently require any acute medical assistance," a spokesperson for the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies told the German Press Agency Emergency generators and fan heaters for the crew Several emergency generators had already been brought on board to provide the crew with power "They can use electrical appliances such as microwaves and kettles charge their cell phones and operate the fan heaters We have also given them several canisters of fuel for the emergency generators." More heaters are still to be delivered a company commissioned by the shipowner will deliver fresh supplies and fuel for the emergency generators on Monday The emergency response team ended its mission on Sunday evening the state emergency tugs were replaced with commercial vehicles," the press office announced It is still unclear when and where the 274-metre-long tanker will be repaired The shipping company that owns the "Eventin" is based in the United Arab Emirates The environmental organization Greenpeace classifies the ship as part of the so-called Russian shadow fleet More safety required for Baltic Sea shipping took the accident as an opportunity to renew his association's call for better safety precautions in the busy waters of the Baltic Sea "Hazard prevention must not only begin in the event of damage It must be preventative and internationally coordinated The issue should be given a higher priority at federal policy level," he warned The Kadet Channel north of Rostock is one of the narrowest and most difficult passages in the Baltic Sea Up to 200 cargo ships a day pass through the narrow passage which is only around 1,000 meters wide in some places and has frequently been the scene of accidents This is why there are repeated calls for compulsory pilotage there the sugar freighter "Tern" rammed into the oil tanker "Baltic Carrier" causing around 2,700 tons of oil to wash up on the Danish coast You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Swedish ferry operator Stena Line has confirmed that it will permanently close the Trelleborg – Sassnitz ferry route The operator initially disclosed the plans to close the route on 8 April the company and the German Works Council have now given the approval to close the route The move is expected to lead to the lay-off of 130 workers in Germany Stena Line CEO Niclas Mårtensson said: “With a heavy heart we have now made the decision to close the ferry route between Trelleborg and Sassnitz it is sad for the employees who are affected where the traditional ‘Kings Line’ meant a lot.” The ferry F/S Sassnitz that operates on the route is docked at the Port of Uddevalla Stena Line plans to transfer the ferry to Stena RoRo and it may be chartered or sold Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis Stena Line Germany MD and trade director Ron Gerlach said: “The situation in the past few weeks has put a lot of strain on all sides “The longstanding difficult economic situation due to the lack of freight traffic combined with the loss of a large number of passenger bookings as part of the corona pandemic left us with no other choice in order to secure our business in the long term “So it is all the more important for us to look ahead and work to make Stena Line come out of the crisis more effectively.” The company currently operates two (roll-on / roll-off passenger) RoPax ferry routes between Germany and Sweden In April, Stena Line planned to lay off 600 employees with 150 redundancies in the UK and the Republic of Ireland due to the global Covid-19 pandemic Nominations are now open for the prestigious Ship Technology Excellence Awards -

Das berichtet der Spiegel Demnach soll das Schiff am Freitag vergangener Woche beschlagnahmt worden sein Ein Sprecher des für den Zoll zuständigen Bundesfinanzministeriums sagte an diesem Freitag dass gegen den Tanker „zollrechtliche Maßnahmen“ liefen Den Spiegel-Bericht bestätigte er auf Nachfrage nicht „auch bei der gegebenen sicherheitspolitischen Lage können wir uns zu dem Sachverhalt nicht sehr weitgehend äußern“ Eine Weiterfahrt sei derzeit untersagt und aktuell werde das weitere Vorgehen im Hinblick auf das Schiff und die Ladung von den zuständigen Behörden geprüft dass der Zoll grundsätzlich nach Artikel 198 des Zollkodex der Europäischen Union Gegenstände unter Voraussetzungen einziehen und verwerten könne Die Eventin steht seit Ende Februar auf der EU-Liste der Sanktionen gegen Russland Der Tanker ist damit eines von mehr als 150 Schiffen der sogenannten russischen Schattenflotte um einen westlichen Preisdeckel für russische Ölexporte in Drittstaaten zu umgehen Diese oft überalterten Tanker sind nicht in der Hand westlicher Reedereien und häufig ohne ausreichenden Versicherungsschutz unterwegs Experten und Umweltschützer warnen vor erheblichen Risiken für die Schifffahrt und die Umwelt da viele dieser Schiffe technische Mängel aufweisen und teils ohne automatisches Identifikationssystem fahren die Regierung in Moskau habe keine Informationen über das Schiff Das Gleiche gelte zu den Besitzverhältnissen und zu den Gründen Nach der EU-Listung der Eventin habe sich die Bundesregierung entschieden, den Tanker zu beschlagnahmen, statt ihn ziehen zu lassen, schreibt der Spiegel. Im Bericht heißt es, dass durch einen sogenannten Einziehungsbescheid der Generalzolldirektion nun sowohl der altersschwache Tanker als auch die rund 100 000 Tonnen Rohöl im Wert von gut 40 Millionen Euro in deutsches Eigentum übergingen. Außerdem soll die Eventin nach dem Erlass des Bescheids offenbar umgeflaggt werden, berichtet das Nachrichtenmagazin mit Verweis auf Sicherheitskreise. Das ungewöhnlich harsche Vorgehen solle aus Sicht des Kanzleramts und des Außenministeriums ein Zeichen an Russland sein, dass Deutschland dem Transit von russischem Öl durch die Ostsee nicht tatenlos zusehe. Nach Informationen der Deutschen Presse-Agentur wurde bereits geprüft, wo das Rohöl aus den Tanks der Eventin sicher abgepumpt werden könnte. Dabei wurde laut dpa auch überlegt, ob beim Durchfahren internationaler Gewässer – aus der Ostsee in die Nordsee – Sicherheitsprobleme bestehen und ein militärischer Geleitschutz erforderlich werden könnte. Die Landesregierung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern würde den Tanker laut Spiegel gern bald loswerden. Dort sorge man sich um negative Auswirkungen für Umwelt und Tourismus. Sie befördern russisches Öl, gefährden die Umwelt und stehen nun sogar unter Sabotageverdacht: Eine Armada alter ausrangierter Tanker macht als Putins Schattenflotte die Ostsee unsicher. Eine internationale Recherche zeigt, welches Risiko die Schiffe darstellen, woher sie kommen – und wie auch deutsche Firmen daran verdienen.

He told the German broadcaster ZDF last Friday: "Threatening a close friend and ally with sanctions European energy policy will be decided in Brussels stores sections of the cross-continent pipeline and is a service center for Russian vessels constructing Nord Stream 2 Jeanne Shaheen last week announced a bill designed to expand sanctions to parties providing assistance with the Nord Stream 2 project The clash over Nord Stream 2 comes amid growing tension between Washington and Berlin "With all the shortcomings in terms of information policy and things being decided without consultation this untidiness that has crept into the relationship is something that worries us," he said Merkel's government has also reacted furiously to Trump's recent announcement of plans to withdraw nearly 12,000 US troops from Germany with orientation and balance — not maximum pressure On Saturday 14 March Stena Line suspended the operation of the ferry route between Trelleborg in Sweden and Sassnitz in Germany until further notice the Company announced plans for the permanent closure of the route including check-in areas and bordershop in Sassnitz.  approximately 300,000 annual passengers travelled via Sassnitz-Trelleborg while freight volumes and train traffic on the route have declined Due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and following travel restrictions in Europe Stena Line has experienced a large decline in travel bookings and freight volumes It is estimated that passenger figures will not recover until well into 2021 As a result of the significant reduction in revenue the Company is forced to take tough decisions in order to cut costs and secure its vital supply lines of essential goods across Europe.  Stena Line has initiated discussions with the worker´s council (Betriebsrat) in Germany The ferry FS Sassnitz is laid up in Port of Mukran Stena Line is currently operating two ferry routes between Sweden and Germany Trelleborg- Rostock with the two vessel Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Skåne operates 40 departures per week Gothenburg-Kiel with the two vessels Stena Scandinavica and Stena Germanica operates 12 departures per week.  Spanish energy company Iberdrola has held a ceremony to mark the construction of the second Operations and Maintenance (O&M) building in the port of Sassnitz-Mukran for the Baltic Eagle and Windanker offshore wind farms The O&M building is expected to be completed by the end of 2022 The two offshore wind farms will be operated, monitored, and maintained from the new O&M building, meaning that Iberdrola will operate three of its German projects from Sassnitz on the Island of Rügen, from where the developer is also running its operational Wikinger offshore wind farm The “groundbreaking” ceremony was attended by the Secretary of State for Economy and Labour of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Jochen Schulte “We feel at home in Sassnitz and Mecklenburg-West Pomerania With the construction of the second operating building for our Baltic Hub and an average lifespan of offshore wind farms of 25 years we are committed to the location by the middle of the century and are thus securing valuable jobs in the region.” said Iris Stempfle The construction of the new O&M building means a further step for the long-term commitment of Iberdrola on Rügen and in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania which says that it would be supporting the German energy transition at least until 2051 with its three offshore wind farm projects off the island of Rügen Iberdrola signed a lease agreement with the port of Sassnitz-Mukran for the new O&M base that will serve its 476 MW Baltic Eagle project Located 30 kilometres from the island of Rügen in the German Baltic Sea the wind farm will comprise 50 Vestas 9.5 MW wind turbines and is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2024 The new building will also serve the 300 MW Windanker offshore wind farm for which Iberdrola exercised its step-in-right to the pre-developed site O-1.3 in November last year Windanker will come on stream in 2026 and will be the first offshore project in the German Baltic Sea at market conditions the operational Wikinger

access for trawlers to British waters is crucial for the business to survive the Euro-Baltic plant at Sassnitz-Mukran suddenly jolts to life 1,400 tonnes of slippery North Sea herring are pumped from the belly of the ship and belched out onto an assembly line inside the factory on Germany’s largest island where the silvery-blue fish are blow-dried gutted and either sliced into fillets or chopped into bite-sized chunks these oily foragers were basking off the coast of the Shetland Islands Thanks to the European Union’s common fisheries policy (CFP) gently shaken every six hours by a robot to spread the brine Some of them will soon be ready to be wrapped around slices of pickled gherkin to become rollmops If Boris Johnson’s government were to have its way the assembly line at Sassnitz-Mukran could soon come to a halt As negotiations on post-Brexit fishing rights get under way the UK has reaffirmed its intention to become an independent coastal state when the extension period ends this year Operating under the UN convention on the law of the sea rather than the CFP Britain would have control over an exclusive economic zone up to 200 nautical miles off its shore and wants to annually set its own quotas for those it allows to fish in its waters With the promise to “take back control” resonating particularly loudly in totemic Brexit-supporting fishing communities such as Grimsby this is likely to mean preferred access to British fishermen and pushing out EU boats The fear at the herring processing plant on Rügen is that it won’t even come to that “The worst-case scenario if we get a hard Brexit after all without an agreement on fishing rights,”said Uwe Richter “[is] we’d lose our access rights to the British economic area in an instant and wouldn’t have any opportunities to bring in any herring in the second half of the year.” under such a scenario it would be possible for Scottish trawlers to deliver herring to Rügen instead But if a bust-up over fishing rights were to derail negotiations over a trade deal between Britain and the EU it could quickly spell trouble for Euro-Baltic “If there is no trade deal we get whacked with tariffs and paperwork so the herring stinks to the heavens by the time it arrives and the whole business becomes unaffordable,” Richter said You can’t afford to transport it from auction to auction Herring is processed at the Euro-Baltic factory in Sassnitz Photograph: Christian Jungeblodt/The GuardianSuch fears are shared in Berlin’s seats of power The German government believes the explosive debate around fishing which makes up only 0.1% of the UK’s economy and 0.02% of Germany’s has the potential to sour the tone of more important negotiations security cooperations and financial services “If the negotiations get bogged down on fishing which is not crucial economically but highly symbolic and emotive it becomes harder to have a more sober debate further down the line,” said a German official familiar with the talks is not just a highly symbolic subject for Britain but also for the woman at the top of Germany’s government The Euro-Baltic plant lies in Vorpommern-Rügen – Vorpommern-Greifswald I which has since 1990 been the constituency of Angela Merkel What locals here call “the silver of the sea” has been a key industry in the region for centuries Some of the small herring-fishing villages on Rügen’s northernmost tip date back to the 12th century and the industry blossomed again during the time of the German Democratic Republic when East Germany’s socialist regime invested heavily in expanding ocean fishing remembers the 1950s as the island’s “golden era” when Sassnitz harbour was home to 200 vessels that sailed as far as Africa or New York and fishermen

boundaries and seeks out the solutions that could benefit us all and crises are not limited by national borders Photograph: Guardian DesignWas this helpful?Thank you for your feedback.After the fall of the Berlin Wall the fishing industry on Rügen collapsed with the same speed as many of East Germany’s other state-run industries pickled or smoked herring its cutters catch off the island’s coast as a local delicacy in a company-owned shop but only a small share of the fleet’s catch is exported off the island A group of fishermen in Rügen’s north-west are hoping to turn tinned herring into a luxury product in the way the Portuguese have managed with sardines though the scale of their enterprise is even more limited In the seaside bar where Franz Plaep and his former colleagues meet every morning from 8 til 9 for a coffee there is a famous photograph on the wall that shows a young Angela Merkel talking to local fishermen in a hut in the village of Lobbe like many others; of about 2,000 fishing businesses that existed on the island in 1990 When Dutch multinational Parlevliet & Van der Plas (P&P) built the Euro-Baltic processing plant in 2003 it became a crucial crutch for a regional economy in structural decline With 140 full-time employees and 80 seasonal contract workers it is one of the biggest employers on the island Herring for sale at a deli store The fish is one of the three most popular in Germany Photograph: Christian Jungeblodt/The GuardianLocal authorities had managed to entice P&P to the island with EU grants and by helping to procure scientific permits to reclaim the plot of land from the sea on which the plant now sits Brexit is one of two developments threatening to kick the last legs from under Rügen’s remaining fishing industry set by Brussels on the advice of maritime scientists fishermen were still allowed to fish 35,000 tones of herring out of the Baltic The reasons behind the decline of stocks are unclear with speculative fingers pointed at global warming noisy sub-aquatic building works around the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and a growing population of hungry seals “But when you are at such a low level it may take longer than we can afford to wait.” Processing different fish instead is not an option – the high-tech machinery inside the plant is tailored towards slender herring the viability of his business is reliant on access to British waters we run the risk that the plant will be at a standstill for long periods.” Merkel appears to be aware of their plight delegates are not expected to parade local issues into the business of the Bundestag in the way they are in Westminster But in her role as environment minister under Helmut Kohl and later as chancellor Merkel has frequently visited fishermen on the shores of the Baltic Sea one of the large trawlers in Euro-Baltic’s fleet that could from next year be barred from British waters the word “Brexit” appears only once – under the chapter heading “Fishing it’s because there is an expectation that the Brits will come to recognise the absurdity of the situation One of the quirks of European cuisine is that both Germany and Britain’s culinary habits are not matched to the maritime fauna at its disposal Herring plays a minor role on British menus and the cod used for fish and chips is largely caught in waters off Scandinavia herring remains one of the three most popular types of fish on the menu If British fishermen want to sell the fish in their seas they will not only need some form of easy access to EU markets but also trawlers of the size and processing infrastructure of the scale provided by Euro-Baltic Britain could try to build its own processing capacity perhaps even buying out large Dutch companies such as P&P or Cornelis Vrolijk that dominate the trade a marine scientist at the University of Hull department “Could the UK build factory freezer trawlers and processing facilities and find markets for a large-scale pelagic fishery could the UK simply buy out P&P and re-flag some of its vessels as UK Could Grimsby be expanded as a fish processing base?” Financially “But would Britain perform such a volte face in industrial policy for such a small sector of the economy a no-deal Brexit would be bad news for both herring handlers in the Baltic and the North Sea “Our worst-case scenario is also the worst-case scenario for British fishermen.” Looking to access paid articles across multiple policy topics Interested in policy insights for EU professional organisations A compromise document shows that negotiations will

Selbst die "New York Times" hat Frank Kracht (Die Linke), den Bürgermeister des Hafenstädtchens Sassnitz auf der Ostseeinsel Rügen, mehrfach zitiert als standhaften Widersacher aus der nordostdeutschen Provinz gegen das polternde Amerika des Donald Trump. "Nach dem ersten Dutzend Interviewanfragen aus aller Welt habe ich aufgehört zu zählen", sagt Frank Kracht. Grund ist die unverhohlene Drohung aus Washington, den deutschen Hafen wirtschaftlich zu ruinieren, sollte von dort aus weiter an der deutsch-russischen Erdgaspipeline Nord Stream 2 gebaut werden. NDR Reporter Klaus Scherer hat für seinen Film Bürgermeister Frank Kracht und seine Sassnitzer Mitstreiter begleitet, von den örtlichen Autoren eines geharnischten Antwortbriefes an den US-Senat bis zu Fischern und Hafenarbeitern, die dem "Wildwest-Gehabe" Washingtons, wie sie sagen, ebenso trotzen wollen wie Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Landesregierung um Ministerpräsidentin Manuela Schwesig und Energieminister Christian Pegel. Mitunter entsteht dabei der Eindruck, als sei das Land wie gefangen in dem Wunsch, weder einem wahlkämpfenden US-Präsidenten nachzugeben noch einem schillernden Kreml-Führer, der jede Kooperation im Fall Nawalny verweigert. Wer also hilft Sassnitz? Unerwarteter Zuspruch kommt immerhin aus der Partnerstadt Port Washington im US-Bundesstaat Wisconsin. Deren Bürgermeister teilte mit, dass er sich mehr Verständnis seiner Regierung für die Beschäftigten in Sassnitz gewünscht hätte. Die dortigen US-Bürgerinnen und -bürger wurden dem NDR Team gegenüber noch deutlicher. "Warum um alles in der Welt, sollten wir einer deutschen Kommune vorschreiben, was sie zu tun oder zu lassen hat?", so die häufigste Antwort. many don’t realize that another country—one in mainland Europe—has its own cliffs jutting vertically out of a blue-green sea Germany showcases a dramatic shoreline in Jasmund National Park the bone-white bluffs here are covered in dense forest that extends ever so precariously to the very last inch of the cliffside The stark contrast between land and water makes it look like someone scooped out the island’s side the white cliffs are the star of Jasmund National Park—but rest assured they’re not the only reason to make the trek Here you’ll also find ancient woods full of smooth because this park hosts the largest continuous beech forest on the Baltic Sea (and has been deemed a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site) This forest is notable for its “pristine” state in the sense that it’s been almost untouched by humans Here’s everything you need to know and where to go in Jasmund to be impressed by nature’s wonders Another option is to leave your car at Parkplatz Nationalpark outside of Sassnitz and then hike north into the national park If getting a car, rental or not, isn’t an ideal option for you, you can take the regional train to Sassnitz. Once there, the choice is yours again: get right to hiking into the park from the south, catch a bus to Großparkplatz Hagen and walk or shuttle from there, or ride a bus directly to the Königsstuhl National Park Center within the park. 1.8-mile trail from Großparkplatz Hagen to Königsstuhl since at 387 feet tall it’s really the “king” of all the chalk cliffs here The hike starts off through beautiful beech forests and passes Herthasee a small lake with a distinct dark color due to the humic acid from the area’s peaty soil you’ll have to shell out €10 for admission into the big tourist complex before you can actually go see the Königsstuhl that fee also includes entrance to the large which covers far more subject matter than just the chalk cliffs and is particularly fun for kids with all of its interactive elements Hot tip coming at you: The best view of the Königsstuhl cliffs isn’t even the actual Königsstuhl viewpoint you can skip that whole tourist center and walk about half a kilometer more from the Königsstuhl National Park Center to Victoriasicht Many will agree that this lookout offers a much better perspective on the cliffs and the far-reaching sea and you don’t have to pay a cent to access it King Wilhelm I was impressed enough by this spot to name it for his daughter-in-law break off from the Hochuferweg (one of the park’s main trails that follows the coast) and head down to do either the Kieler Ufer or Piratenschlucht hikes so you can gaze up at the cliffs on one side and stare off into the sea on the other hike through the forest to the UNESCO Weltnaturerbe Buchenwälder Wanderstützpunkt und Infostelle (UNESCO World Heritage Forum hiking base and information point) or right to the nearby towns of Lohme or Sassnitz just please remember to stay on the trail to protect the environment Speaking of different kinds of people: Some like to keep their feet firmly planted on land, and others jump at any chance to get out on the water. If you consider yourself a real sea fiend, you may consider taking a boat trip to see the chalk cliffs from the sea, giving you a whole other view of the landscape. There are boats departing from Sassnitz, Binz, and other towns on Rügen. and both are less than a 20-minute drive to the prime starting point of Großparkplatz Hagen Maybe you came to Jasmund National Park for the great outdoors but don’t necessarily want to sleep there—not a problem There are holiday homes all over the island try using the German search terms “Ferienhaus” or “Ferienwohnung” to find one if you don’t feel the need to be right next to the national park you can also look into accommodations in Binz Just 20 minutes from the park’s southern border Binz is the island’s largest seaside resort town and it has a nice long stretch of sandy beach for when you want to relax after all that cliff gazing and hiking Works on Iberdrola’s Wikinger offshore wind project are in full swing as the foundation installation is underway and is expected to be completed soon as Bladt and Navantia dispatched their final jacket foundations and first components of Adwen 5MW wind turbines arrived at the Port of Sassnitz-Mukran the first wind turbine components arrived last week at Wikinger’s base port in Sassnitz there are five complete sets for wind turbines in Sassnitz with more sets to arrive in the following days The EUR 1.4 billion Wikinger project is Iberdrola’s first offshore wind farm in German waters The 350MW wind farm will comprise 70 turbines installed in the Baltic Sea and is scheduled to be operational in 2017 Leveraging 20 years of experience with offshore windDecember 2023 will forever mark a milestone in our company history as we became part of the world-wide CS WIND group The acquisition goes beyond a mere change in ownership; it marks a leap into a future where our combined strengths will pave the way for optimized production […] During the 3rd Offshore Summit in the Port of Sassnitz the Sassnitz-Mukran site was celebrated for being a focal point of offshore wind farm projects in the Baltic Sea industry and associations exchanged views on projects and potential of offshore wind as well as the latest political developments and the issue of grid connection Managing Director of Port of Sassnitz GmbH opened the event by saying: “We can proudly say today: The first major wind farm project was successfully implemented from Sassnitz-Mukran from We are looking forward to the coming tasks.”  After wind turbines have been installed at the EnBW’s Baltic 2 offshore wind farm Iberdrola’s Wikinger wind farm will be built from Sassnitz In addition to the construction of offshore wind farms the port is being enabled to accommodate operation and maintenance a berth with a 350-meter quay has been renewed while further expansion of the infrastructure is already being implemented Offshore WIND Staff;

The largest, in Puttgarten, Germany – where Havana Club recently opened a permanent tasting bar – is 10 times larger at 8,000 square metres The routes Scandlines is selling comprise about 80-90% of its freight routes according to a spokesperson The Baltic company says that in future it will focus on the “traffic machines” of Rostock – Gedser Traffic machines is a term referring to the routes that are the main passenger generators and therefore also big duty free earners These routes operate in the triangle between Germany CEO for Stena Line says: “Through the acquisition of the routes from Germany and Sweden to the Baltic States we are increasing our presence in the southern Baltic and expanding our offering for both freight and passengers Our ambition is to continue developing the new operations.” adds: “Our strategic objective is to be a consumer-driven ferry operator (and) selling our freight routes at a time of a friendly market environment is a logical step Focusing on our three traffic machines together with our land-based retail operations will help us strengthen our image as a provider of services in the triangle between Germany produced 38% of its total revenues of €611 million from catering and retail The group carried 12 million passengers last year TRBusiness Magazine is free to access. Read the latest issue now The port service provider Mukran Port Terminals (MPT) has handled the first six wind turbine tower segments delivered for the 385MW Arkona offshore wind farm at the Mukran Port in Sassnitz The first turbine towers arrived at the port following the delivery of 36 of 180 blades for the wind farm’s 60 Siemens Gamesa turbines The Mukran Port has recently started upgrading two berths to make room for the handling of the wind farm’s components as well as to prepare for future offshore wind projects Arkona offshore wind farm is located 35km northeast of the island of Rügen in the German Baltic Sea The offshore construction is progressing ahead of schedule, with all the monopile foundations installed in January 2018. The wind farm’s offshore substation was put into place earlier this month The next step in the offshore construction is the laying of the inter-array cables followed by the installation of the wind turbines Scandlines is one of Europe’s largest ferry companies a result of the fusion between the largest national ferry lines in Denmark and Germany Business is based on the swift and reliable transport of both passengers and cargo on international routes within Danish as well as further afield to the Baltic states and Finland.Scandlines operates 17 ferries on 8 routes between 11 harbours in the Baltic Sea the shipping company transported more than 17.3 million passengers Scandlines’ project engineer says: – We started to look at propeller retrofit solutions as a direct consequence of high fuel prices we have replaced the propeller blades with a modern Our tests document that this has realised an increased efficiency of no less than 12% so therefore it’s very pleasing that our measurements show an even better result.He adds: – The ship reverses a lot in-harbour and therefore it’s vital for us to attain the optimal propeller blade design the propeller set-up has been optimised to best fit this particular operating profile without compromising overall efficiency.In order to optimise the process the Sassnitz’s operating profile was thoroughly analysed by MAN Diesel’s propeller design department MAN Diesel PrimeServ participated in the installation of the new propeller blades on the Sassnitz which is powered by four MAN L40/54 engines.– MAN Diesel and Scandlines have cooperated with each other for over 20 years on controllable pitch propellers Manager of Upgrading and Retrofit Support at MAN Diesel Propulsion After-Sales – Scandlines is a front runner within retrofit propeller optimisation and the M/V Sassnitz’s fuel consumption has now been reduced which is also an environmentally friendly solution We expect many such retrofits in the future and are currently in contact with a good number of other ship owners who are very interested in propeller optimisation.❊M/V Sassnitz is a Ro-Pax type vessel built in 1989/1994 with a GT of 21.154 and with car capacity of 314 and passenger capacity of 875 Redaktør:Helge Martin Markussen Ansvarlig redaktør:Pål Mugaas Jensen Publisher Oceanspace Media:Gustav Erik Blaalid
