Detta uppdragsbaserade arbete är en del av ett stort projekt som Göteborgs Hamn AB driver, vars syfte är att förnya det nuvarande brandskyddet i Energihamnen och även möta framtida krav. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka vilka förväntningar personal vid rederier och fartygsbefäl som regelbundet anlöper Energihamnen har på Göteborgs Hamn AB:s brandskyddsutrustning och brandberedskapsplaner. Vidare undersöktes vilken brandskyddsutrustning några av de tankfartyg som regelbundet anlöper Energihamnen har ombord, även vilka krav som ligger till grund för den utrustningen. För att få svar på ovanstående syfte kombinerades intervjuer med personal vid tre rederikontor och fem fartygsbefäl från samma rederier med en litteraturstudie. Litteraturstudien består av en sammanställning av de regelverk som ställer specifika krav och rekommendationer för det brandskydd som ska finnas ombord på tankfartyg. Intervjuerna genomfördes för att bl.a. få fartygsnäringens förväntningar på Göteborgs Hamn AB vid nödsituationer under lastoperationer. Resultatet visar att flertalet informanter förväntar sig att Göteborgs Hamn AB bör ha brandskyddsutrustning på kaj som kan släcka bränder ombord på fartygsdäck. De förväntar sig också att hamnens beredskapsplaner ska vara väl inövade och ska snabbt dras igång vid en nödsituation. / This thesis is part of a major project that the Port of Gothenburg has embarked upon, and is produced as a result of a project directive. The purpose of that project is to renew its current fire protection in Energihamnen (the Energy Port) but also meet future requirements. The purpose of the present study is to examine what expectations shipping companies and ship´s officers, which regularly arrive to the Energy Port, have on the Port of Gothenburg’s fire prevention systems and fire emergency plans. Further investigated are the requirements that form the basis for the fire protection equipment onboard tankers that regularly arrive in the Energy Port. To obtain answers from the above mentioned purpose, interviews were conducted with three ship owners and five ship officers, and this was combined with a literature summary which consists of the regulatory framework that places specific requirements and recommendations for the fire prevention equipment that will be on board tankers. The interviews were conducted to include the shipping industry's expectations of the Port of Gothenburg’s emergency procedures during cargo operations. The result shows that the majority of respondents expected that the Port of Gothenburg should have firefighting equipment on their docks that can extinguish fires onboard the ship’s deck. They also expected that the port's emergency response plans should be well rehearsed and should also quickly come into force during an emergency.

Background: The global marketplace is characterized by rapid and constantchange, resulting in complex logistics systems. The port industry, which is a crucial link in the supply chain, seeks to understand the complexity of market dynamics. Ports should understand the changing market dynamics to better meet the market demand and have a competitive advantage. One representative from the port industry is Swedish ports and the Port of Gothenburg, which will be the focus of this thesis. The market demand for paper and paperboard has been a significant driver of shipping activities in Swedish ports. The market demand for bulk and container shipping is also relevant due to its influence on the port’s operation. Furthermore, itis essential for port authorities to understand the demand-oriented infrastructure to develop strategies to meet the market dynamics. Purpose: This thesis has been undertaken on behalf of the PoG. The purpose of the thesis is to provide a clearer understanding of how the current and future market demand of paper and paperboard influence Swedish ports with scenario planning. Based on the future market demand for paper and paperboard, additional information of the future market demand for bulk and container will be included in the scenarios. By using the scenarios, recommendations will be given regarding investments the port authority at PoG needs to implement as a response to future paper and paperboard market demand. Methodology: The thesis has a qualitative case study with Port of Gothenburg as the study object. Data collection has been conducted through semi- and unstructuredinterviews from the Swedish forest industry, three forest companies and port authority at Port of Gothenburg. Additionally, scenario planning will be the main analysis method in this thesis. Conclusion: The current market demand for paper and paperboard indicates that demand for paper is decreasing, while demand for paperboard is increasing. The future market demand for paper and paperboard can develop in several ways. The authors of this thesis believe that the market demand for paper will have a structural fall with an exception for special paper. While paperboard will have a continuous increase. Furthermore, there is currently an increase of bulk and container shipping in the Port of Gothenburg. The authors believe that future market demand for bulk will be stable, while container will have an increased trend. However, as the market demand is hard to predict, the thesis presents four scenarios of different futureoutcomes of market demand for paper, paperboard, bulk- and container shipping. There are several investments needed for the Port of Gothenburg to respond to theestablished demand scenarios. Investments that will benefit Port of Gothenburg themost are Port Community System (PCS), Integrated Warehouse ManagementSystem (IWMS), Real-Time Location System (RTLS), development of port quays,larger quay cranes and floating islands, and cold ironing and renewable energy.
