Example of maximum ship sizes Tanker shipping:  L = 250 m B = 44 m T = 15.0 m  LNG Shipping (Q-Max)  L = 345 m B = 54 m T = 12m  Container shipping (e.g. Maren Maersk)  L = 400m B = 60m T = 14.5m Port limits:  Rostock 16.5m planned  Kiel Canal 10.5m planned Öresund  Luleå 11 m (tanker) 8,0m  Kemi 12.5m (?????)  Klaipėda 12.5 m (tanker, LNG, container)  Primorsk 15 m (tanker) T-Route  Ust Luga 17.5m (tanker, container)  Gdańsk 15 m (container, bulk) 15,5 m  Rostock extension to 16.5m  Aabenraa 18m (Bulker) NOK 9,5 m Source: Kari Liuth: Maritime cluster in the Baltic Sea region and beyond , 02.06.2019

• Weather conditions • •  Most probable wind directions are S, SW and W.  The frequency on the wind force is as follow: [2] [2]  0-3 Bft 41,7 %  4-5 Bft 42,3 %  6-7 Bft 14,4 %  8-12 Bft 1,16 % •  The Average high of the waves is 0,9 m; between 0-1m by 74,9 %.  By windless or calm sea current of 0,5 kn. In extreme situations (strong E‘ly or W‘ly winds) current of 4 kn is possible.

Pleasure crafts  When pleasure vessels cross “open water”, they prefer to go in straight lines between the harbours.​  Pleasure vessels generally try to avoid sailing in TSS and deep water ways  Not more then 25 % have AIS transmitter. Source: FEP 2019 (BSH); LEP M-V 2016; 4COffshore;

Fishing vessels  the fishing efforts variable between the months and the years.  Main fishing areas are N‘ly of Ruegen, N’ly of Wismar and the Bay of Kiel. Source: Thünen-Institut für Ostseefischerei (OF), 2019

Commercial shipping  Around 33 thousand vessel paused trough Fehrmann Belt and 47 thousand Kadetrinne in 2017 Route “T” (  Vessel are following recommended routes  New offshore structures may increase the risk of collision and groundings Source: GDWSFEP 2019 (BSH); LEP M-V 2016; 4COffshore;

Kadetrenden- preliminary results! Traffic joinincg here gives relatively high risk of collisions High since most ships pass through here Complex traffic in this area with several crossing traffic streams Ships on routes inside ITZ are generally sailing along the same lines in both directions, whereas ships in and entering/exiting TSS Kadetrinne tend to divide into lanes. This leads to relatively fewer head-on collisions. Source: Ramboll, 2019
