Dear all,
Thank you for inviting me to give opinion on this issue. It is for sure that lowering environmental impacts
in Baltic Sea region is one of the priorities. Currently there is no indication to directly take into account
environmental aspects on fairway dues regulation as there are several requirements that must be met by
ships and international shipping already. On the other hand the clean shipping index may be a useful tool
and therefore I don’t see an obstacle for you to have a skype meeting to get to know more about it and
how the system is built up considering that Estonia has also a very good maritime information system
that provides all necessary on line services for state, ships and ship owners.

Subject: RE: Clean Shipping Index - Tool used for differentiating Swedish fairway dues
Dear Jens,
Thank you for your e-mail!
For sure we are interested to learn how the Swedish Clean Shipping Index is functioning; and particularly
the link between different environmental parameters and fairway dues.
Our current system of fairway dues is based on estimated cost of maintenance of our public fairways and
takes into consideration ship’s type, ice class, GT and number of visits.
The existing system was established in 2012 and is currently under review. I have to admit, that at the
moment we do not have any indications for our stakeholders (maritime sector, NGO, politicians), wrt
an idea to implement additional parameters which should take into account environmental impact.
CC to Taivo: Could you please comments subject issue?
Best regards,
Capt. Rene Arikas

Subject: Re: Clean Shipping Index - Tool used for differentiating Swedish fairway dues
Dear Anu & Rene,
I guess that you both are busy so let me get straight to the point: I would like to schedule a Skype-
meeting with the purpose to present Clean Shipping Index and how the tool is used today by the
Swedish Government to differentiate Swedish fairway dues.
Background: The Swedish Maritime Administration started using Clean Shipping Index on 1 January
2018 and the system is now up and running. We are now in the process of researching on what basis
our neighboring countries around the Baltic Sea could unite in order to lower the environmental
impact from shipping.
From our side, me and Rickard Lindström (Director and Methodology Expert) will attend the meeting.
We would like to understand your current fairway dues. Moreover, offer our support in a possible
implementation of a differentiated system based on vessels’ environmental performance -similar to
Sweden's.
Best regards
Jens Kjellerup
