Abstract Presents a comprehensive overview of the background, key ideas, basic methods, implementation details and a selection of solutions offered by a novel technology for the optimization of the location of dangerous offshore activities in terms of environmental criteria, as developed in the course of the BalticWay project, one of sixteen projects funded by BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea research and development programme, in 2009-2011.-- Source other than Library of Congress.
