TransPaper route
TransPaper• Length over all 190.8 m• Delivered in 2006• Shipping company
TransAtlantic AB• 15-year contract with
StoraEnso for shipping paper etc. on the route
Gothenburg-Kemi-Oulu-Lübeck-GothenburgGothenburg is visited once a week

Very brief background
Dr. Pieter Tans, NOAA/ESRL(www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends)
Effects on the wholemarine ecosystemexpected
Organisms containingCaCO3 extra vulnerable,e.g. mussels, corals, some plankton
Brackish waters maybe extra vulnerableand are not wellstudied
