The MAGALOG Project LNG-fueled shipping in the Baltic Sea The project is supported by: 1
MAGALOG WP4.1 Study of ship and transport volumes in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and on Inland waterways in Europe 2
Aims of study The study is forming the basis for an evaluation of possible scenarios regarding future infrastructure for distribution of LNG to maritime users, initially RoRo and RoPax vessels on regular routes. To map as much of the regular routes in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea as possible. More than 300 vessels are taken into the database, with information on routes being served, age and main engine information. 3
Area of interest 1. The Baltic Sea, including routes entering or leaving the area. 2. Central European inland waterways. 3. North Sea, including activities in the British Channel 4
Age distribution of fleet in all areas 5
The Baltic Sea In 2003 135.000 port calls were registered in Lloyds Maritime Intelligence Unit Daily average of 370 vessels Liner traffic accounted for 24% of the port calls. This study: only vessels operating regular routes within the Baltic and to Northern Europe ports are included Snapshot of vessel activity Source: HELCOM Finland Ref: Source: Baltic Maritime Outlook 2006 6

The European Inland waterways The inland waterways form a very complex network, handled by some 13.700 units of different types, totalling a transport capacity of 12,9 Mio t[1]. The fleet comprises of both self propelled, towed and pushed barges, the first group represents approximately 70% of the fleet. In 2005 more than 450 million tonnes of goods were transported on inland waterways throughout Europe. Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium account for almost 90% of the goods carried in inland waterways. The German waterway network comprises about 7,300 kilometres of inland waterways and some 23,000 square kilometres of lakes.

The North Sea The North Sea transport systems are mainly influenced by the cargo flows between Central Europe, UK and Scandinavia. Except for the channel area, the density of shipping is low compared to the traffic situation described in the Baltic Sea, Still a high number of RoRo and RoPax vessels are operating various routes.

Summing up For the Baltic and North Sea area: A rather big fleet of vessels will be replaced within the coming 5 10 years The traffic patterns do allow a change to LNG as fuel for maritime users A change in operational modus for the vessels involved must be expected but no significant negative impacts are foreseen in relation to this 19
