Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper discusses from a logistics services, financial and legal standpoint the possibility to deliver SCF solutions to the entire supply chain. Particularly the potential new role of LSPs as independent third parties that can assist in verification and risk assessment for trade financiers or add supply chain finance to the service portfolio. Based on a conceptual model defining supply chain finance and financial supply chain management, the research approach includes conceptual development complemented by financial and legal analysis. The findings in the areas of information asymmetry, visibility, working capital and division of roles can foster innovation in the financial technology arena for greater financial inclusion in international trade.

- This chapter discusses from a logistics services, financial and legal standpoint the possibility to deliver Supply Chain Finance (SCF) solutions to the entire supply chain. Particularly the potential new role of Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) as independent third parties that can assist in verification and risk assessment for trade financiers or add SCF to the service portfolio. Based on a conceptual model defining SCF and financial supply chain management, the research approach includes conceptual development complemented by financial and legal analysis. The findings in the areas of information asymmetry, visibility, working capital and division of roles can foster innovation in the financial technology arena for greater financial inclusion in international trade.

Reducing undeclared and misdeclared dangerous goods to improve maritime transport safety
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Transport of dangerous goods creates substantial utility to society, but carries a risk to the environment, health and safety. Some of the accidents and incidents occurring during dangerous goods transport can be attributed to poor practices, such as misdeclaration or failure to declare the goods. This pre-study aims to investigate the problem of undeclared and misdeclared dangerous goods transport on container, RoRo and RoPax vessels and to investigate the circumstances and causes that lead to incorrect declaration. For this purpose, this research carried out a literature review and conducted several interviews with main stakeholders in Sweden such as port authorities, port terminals, shipping companies, insurance companies and public institutions. Main results suggest that the existence of different regulations (land transport and sea transport for dangerous goods), can be a risk for managing these goods. Furthermore, it is important to enhance coordination between different actors and increase digitalization to control information flows. This pre-study is coordinated with the longer and larger project Transparent information management and collaboration for improved reliability during transportation of dangerous goods funded by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB).

Behovs- och systemanpassat underhåll av godsvagnar
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Dagens godstransportsystem på järnväg behöver åtgärdas för att förbättra såväl pålitlighet som punktlighet. Förevarande projekt syftar till att identifiera lösningar som enkelt kan implementeras och där effekter också enkelt kan beskrivas och förutses med avseende på underhåll och service av godsvagnar för morgondagens behov. Det bakomliggande syftet för dessa åtgärder är mer effektiva godstransporter. Tonvikt ligger i detta avseende på behovs- och systemanpassade åtgärder. Projektet syftar närmare till att utreda förutsättningarna för ett behovs- och systemanpassat underhåll av godsvagnar. Under projektets gång har mobila lösningar kring underhåll varit i fokus, varför rapporten riktar in sig på denna typ av underhåll. Trafikverket har bidragit med medel till projektet och utöver dem har Swemaint AB, BS Verkstäder AB och Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet medverkat i projektet. Föreliggande rapport redovisar resultaten av projektet.

Regulatory aspects of Electric Vehicles and Fire in Maritime RoRo/RoPax Transports : A pre-study initiated by Lighthouse.
- 2024
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This pre-study research paper explores the regulatory aspects of electric vehicles in maritime RoRo/RoPax transports, focusing on the risks and effects of electric vehicle fires on board ships. The study highlights concern about the increased risk of transporting electric vehicles and examines various incidents of fires in electric vehicles. The paper discusses the regulatory initiatives taken on different levels and identifies different perceptions of risk and impacts among stakeholders. The study indicates a need for legal tools to deal with the risks and effects of electric vehicles fires and highlights the lack of effective equipment and specific training requirements for handling electric vehicle fires on board vessels. The regulatory standards, including the SOLAS convention and its regulations, are discussed in terms of fire protection measures, but it is noted that these do not specifically address the risks and regulatory needs related to electric vehicles. The research indicates a potential for further investigation into the regulatory aspects and emphasizes the importance of addressing the unique challenges posed by transporting electric vehicles on ships. The pre-study points at the problems and risks associated with fires on car decks of RoRo/RoPax ferries and the regulatory changes and guidelines proposed by various international and governmental organizations. The paper highlights the slow progress in addressing these risks and the need for unified regulations and best practices. It provides a comprehensive review of the initiatives and guidelines set forth by various authorities apart from the ordinary public regulators. Other initiatives come from such bodies as the US Coast Guard, US Department of Transportation, US National Fire Protection Association, Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, Class NK, American Bureau of Shipping, and United European Car Carriers, in addressing the risks associated with electric vehicles on ships. The guidelines and best practices encompass a range of aspects such as cargo placement, charging procedures, firefighting systems, safety measures, and preventative actions for different types of vehicles and battery systems. The paper emphasizes the need for unified regulations and the implementation of safety measures to address the risks associated with fires on car decks of vessels. The paper provides a basis for future analyses of the regulatory environment surrounding the transportation of electric vehicles on ships. It accounts for various regulations and guidelines from organizations mentioned above but also such as the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI), Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS), and Steamship Mutual, focusing on safety measures related to electric vehicle transportation. The paper highlights the need for practical rules and standardization in the face of uncertainty surrounding electric vehicle fires on ships. It also discusses the responsibilities and liabilities of manufacturers, sellers, importers, marketers, transporters, and passengers in the event of electric vehicle fires, emphasizing the preventive and reparatory functions of product safety regulation. The study emphasizes the necessity for further research and development of legal tools tailored to address the risks and impacts associated with electric vehicle transportation. It concludes by stressing the importance of adapting existing regulatory frameworks, such as the IMDG code, SOLAS, and fire training regulations, to accommodate the unique challenges posed by shipping electric vehicles. The paper serves as an inventory of norms and regulatory initiatives, providing a basis for further analysis and development of regulatory entities in the context of shipping electric vehicles.

BRAVE ECO – Benchmark for Reduction of Anchoring Vessels’ Emissions – Enabling Change of Operation
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This feasibility study aims to evaluate the possibilities to reduce air emissions from ships anchored in port areas and, then especially the Port of Gothenburg. For this purpose, the study uses two main approaches. Firstly, it analyses the reasons and legal/business aspects for anchoring. Secondly, this study develops a reproducible calculation model for anchored vessels' CO2 emissions. Regulation of anchoring sites are not entirely clear since international regulation partly applies, also it is not clear who is responsible for the anchoring sites. This implies that the port´s scope of action is limited mainly to the ships that are calling the port. However, also emission from other ships at in the port area has been evaluated in this study to get a broader perspective. This pre-study provides both qualitative and quantitative findings and it is produced using mixed methods, including workshops with relevant port stakeholders. It also involves different scientific disciplines and several authors from the Port of Gothenburg Authority, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Maritime Studies at Chalmers University of Technology and the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg. Furthermore, in connection to this study, one bachelor's thesis and two master's theses have been carried out. The results show that it is mainly tanker ships that are anchoring in Gothenburg and that their main reasons for anchoring are related to awaiting Laycan or waiting for an available berth. The companies involved in the study generally combine time charter and voyage charter contracts to access vessel capacity. The inputs from the workshops, the interviews conducted with stakeholders and the international literature are “rather” consistent: combining just in time arrival with slow steaming has a great potential for making a business case and to reduce fuel consumption and thereby emissions. However, there are many barriers which needs to be addressed, such as: lack of trust, improving information sharing (actors now communicate via phone or email), loss of income (due to demurrage), attitudes in the industry, the “first come, first serve” concept, risk of missing estimated time of arrival and port infrastructure. Even if there are many barriers, several actors in the port already have experience of combining just in time arrival and slow steaming. In this study, we develop a reproducible emission calculation model that calculates CO2eq emissions. The emissions are partly calculated by using the ships’ positions (AIS-data) from 2019, to extract the time spent at anchor. The emission model calculates the anchored vessels' total CO2eq emissions, but the model also calculates the theoretical potential for avoiding emission by using the time at anchor to slow steam. The results show that all tanker ships that anchored outside the port in 2019, could theoretically have reduced their emissions with about 30 ktonnes CO2eq, if they would have been notified of delays 24 hours before arrival and then reduced their speed to 10 knots. The results also show that using time to slow steam have a much greater potential to reduce emissions than if the ships would only reduce the time at anchor (by using fewer ships to perform the same transport work). This is especially true for the initial speed reductions (10-14 knots). This study also evaluates the emission calculation methods and assesses the uncertainties, by comparing different sources and underlying assumptions with real world data. The study argues that it is problematic to just use default values proposed in the global emission inventory issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Using default values for estimating emission makes it harder to estimate the real effect of a new policy, regulation, or incentive in the port. However, a better emission inventory requires that on-board visits are made or that data is obtained digitally. The largest calculation uncertainties now are for boiler fuel consumption and bunker ships fuel consumption at the anchorage areas.

Environmentally differentiated port dues
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is the final report of the research project Environmentally differentiated port dues. The purposes of the research are to examine how environmentally differentiated dues and incentives in ports can reduce the environmental impact caused by transport modes that call at the port, and their consequences from legal, political and goods flow perspectives. Both land and sea transport are addressed. The project examines how ports, as important parts of international transport chains, can contribute to the environmental and climate objectives, by introducing environmentally differentiated port dues to promote a shift to more environmentally efficient transport, vehicles, ships, technologies and alternative fuels.
