Some oil terminals in the Russia territory of the Baltic Sea Rim Planned capacity Primorsk up to 70 mt (by the end of the decade) St. Petersburg 16 mt (by 2005-2006) Bukhta Batareinaya 6-15 mt (by the end of 2004) Vysotsk 5-11 mt (by the end of 2004) Vyborg 1 mt (extension open) Ust-Luga 5-6 mt (by 2010) Vistino up to 10 mt Kaliningrad up to 10 mt By the end of the decade, probably over 100 million tonnes www.tukkk.fi/pei/e

  18. Conclusion • Russian oil shipments via the BS grow (risks grow) (Murmansk pipe uncertain – Arkangelsk port ?) • Safety and stricter control measures needed (VTMIS, double-hulled ships, on spot sanctions) • Public awareness in Russia should be influenced • Closer EU-Russian co-operation required • Team play among Baltic countries www.tukkk.fi/pei/e

  19. Epilogue Russian oil is a source of integration in Europe, if it does not represent an environmental threat in the Baltic Sea or elsewhere and if it is not used as a political instrument to obtain conservative goals of Russian foreign policy. www.tukkk.fi/pei/e
