Gas pipelines critical infrastructure network
The liquid natural gas (LNG) will be commonly used by shipping and industry in the future. In this paper we present existing and planned natural gas networks in the Baltic Sea region, installed through the Baltic Sea. These gas pipeline installations create the Baltic Gas Pipeline Critical Infrastructure Network (BGPIN) that is one of eight critical infrastructure network of the Global Baltic Network of Critical Infrastructure Networks (GBNCIN).[full text]

Critical infrastructure networks at Baltic Sea and its seaside
At the beginning, in the paper the basic definitions concerned with critical infrastructures and climate and weather impacts on their safety are given. Next, critical infrastructure networks operating at Baltic Sea Region, forming the Global Baltic Network of Critical Infrastructure Networks (GBNCIN), are distinguished. Dangerous events coming from/to critical infrastructures located in the Baltic Sea area are classified and described. Potential threats are divided into two groups i.e. threats associated with dynamic installations and those associated with various static industrial installations. Moreover, natural hazards associated with weather and climate change are considered.

The Baltic Sea circumstances significant for its critical infrastructure networks
The paper is an overview of the Baltic Sea and its basin characteristic. The geographical location and climate and weather of the Baltic Sea region according to its zones and seasons were described. Moreover, the abiotic parameters of water such as salinity, oxygen concertation and temperature distribution in the water column were explained. Some of these characteristic parameters has influence on the critical infrastructure networks existed in the Baltic Sea region as well as the critical infrastructure objects activity has significant impact on these parameters changes and consequently the environmentally quality of the region. Finally, the Baltic Sea as the sensitive area is presented.

Shipping critical infrastructure network

In the article there are described shipping density, condition and ship accidents at the Baltic Sea waters. Shipping is gathered in the network of critical infrastructure. Impact of changing climate/weather on that infrastructure is taken into account. The maritime ferry – a passenger Ro-Ro ship operating at the Baltic Sea between Gdynia and Karlskrona ports on regular everyday line is described. Next, the climate-weather impact on the technical system operation and safety of maritime ferry is considered.

Joint Network of Port, Shipping, Ship Traffic and Port Operation Information Critical Infrastructure Network
The main aim of the paper is to define the Baltic Port, Shipping, Ship Traffic and Port Operation Information Joint Critical Infrastructure Network (BPSIJN). The particular components of this joint network are firstly defined as the single critical infrastructure networks. Based on these, the BPSIJN is defined and described. Furthermore, the operation process for the network is initially introduced.

Ship Traffic and Port Operation Information Critical Infrastructure Network
The goal of the article is to define the Ship Traffic and Port Operation Information Critical Infrastructure Network. In first step, the basic information about EMSA are introduced. There are two main information systems for safety of the ships: SeaSafeNet and THETIS, which are presented in details. Furthermore, the ship information systems operated in Poland are introduced and described. These systems are: PHICS, MarSSiES and DGPS. Besides, the port operation systems in Baltic Sea Region are presented. According to the knowledge the 166 Ship Traffic and Operation Information Critical Infrastructure Network components are proposed.

Methodology for Baltic Sea Region critical infrastructures safety and resilience to climate change analysis
The paper presents the terminology of critical infrastructure including definitions of general terms and definitions of more detailed notions. The European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection is introduced and infrastructures specified as being critical are listed. There is also presented the approach to the identification and designation of European Critical Infrastructures. Next, presented terminology and taxonomy refer to critical infrastructure networks at Baltic Sea Region. Finally, notions related to climate change and resilience and vulnerability of critical infrastructures to climate change are given. Considering strategy of critical infrastructures resilience strengthening there are distinguished and defined concepts of robustness, resourcefullness, redundancy, response and recovery.
