In this sea area, the volume of oil transportation has nearly quadrupled during the past ten years. This has raised concern of major oil accidents. The project estimated oil transportation volumes for years 2020 and 2030; examined the composition of ship crew; estimated oil accident probabilities; estimated damage in ships caused by an accident and the consequent oil outflow; evaluated optional measures to control oil accident risks and produced a related decision support model; developed tools for estimating the length of oiled shoreline after an accident; developed tools for examining the recovery efficiency and optimal disposition of Finnish oil combating vessels and for forecasting the clean-up costs of oil spills; improved opera...

Work package 3 (WP3) is concentrated on maritime security issues, especially the identification of security threats and evaluation of security risks in the Baltic Sea area. In the previous phases of WP3, literature review was published on general security issues in 2012 and a report of the results of an interview and survey study was published in 2013. This report is a continuation to the previous reports. In this report, the general views on maritime security are examined, and the most essential measures for security threats from MIMIC WP3's perspective are introduced. Material for this study has been collected by means of theme interviews, web-based survey, Delphi study and workshops. At the moment, the Baltic Sea region is a relatively stable, peaceful and controlled area. However, based on the results of the study, it seems the security threats, such as smuggling of weapons or drugs, thefts, vandalism, human trafficking and smuggling, violent crimes, illegal fishing, illegal discharge and illegal environmental activism occur in the Baltic Sea region. Still, the prevalence for the most of these threats is low. Smuggling of drugs and weapons and human trafficking in the Baltic Sea are problems that should be noticed. Johtopäätöksenä voidaan sanoa, että tilannekuvan havainnollistaminen ja kansallinen ja kansainvälinen yhteistyö viranomaisten ja muiden toimijoiden kesken on erittäin tärkeää merenkulun kokonaisturvallisuuden kannalta. Tilannetietoisuuden ja yhteistyön avulla Itämeren jäsenvaltioilla on valmiudet varautua turvauhkiin, niin olemassa oleviin kuin mahdollisiin uusiin uhkiin ja näin taata Itämeren alueen ihmisille turvallinen elinympäristö.
