The main objective of this project is to identify and assess possible technical, operational, regulatory and financial measures for the mitigation and reversal of the negative repercussions of environmental legislation to the market shares of RoRo shipping in Northern Europe. This problem is already a serious source of concern not only to RoRo operators in the Baltic and North Sea, which have or are contemplating shutting down some routes as unprofitable, but also to manufacturing, mining and forest industries in the area.
To address this problem, the Danish Maritime Fund has awarded a two-year research project to DTU Transport. Sulphur regulations are the specific focus of this environmental legislation. RoRo operator DFDS is an industry partner to the project, which also bears endorsements from Interferry and the European Community Shipowners Association (ECSA).
