Analysis of the environmental aspects of oil management in the Baltic Sea fishing fleet

The paper presents an analysis of ecological aspects of oil management in the Baltic Sea fishing fleet based on studies held as part of the project Operational Programme “Sustainable Development of the Fisheries Sector and Coastal Fishing Areas 2007–2013”. There have been proposed algorithms to the preliminary estimation of oils consumption in the fishing vessel fleet, the amount of harmful substances emitted into the atmosphere, the amount of used oils reaching the boat bilges, the quantity of hydraulic used on fishing craft.
