Background To develop BSR (Baltic Sea Region) in a sustainable way contributing to an extended interaction and co-operation sea transport is a key issue Dredging of fairways and ports have to be made and several million m3 of sediments have to be dredged in the coming years A considerable part of the dredged sediments is contaminated with non-organic and/or organic contaminants (e.g. trace metals, dioxins, PCBs, PAHs, TBT) Dump of sediments at the sea normally not allowed Land disposal most expensive Initial projects show large potential for innovations regarding beneficial use of treated contaminated sediments and knowledge transfer to get a BSR approach (e.g. the stabilisation/solidification method) Baltic Ports & Environment Seminar Malmö 7 December 2010
