The SMOCS guideline is now finalised and free to download.
The guideline provides, improved comprehensive but simultaneously easy to use guidance starting from a
description of “what to do” in the different phases
during the whole process of a project and adds on
with descriptions on “how to do” in the different
phases and decision situations.
SMOCS congratulates Gregory Makusa, Luleå University of Technology,
for Licentiate
Gregory Makusa is a researcher at Luleå University of Technology. In his research work, mechanical
properties of stabilized dredged sediments is analyzed.
A large-scale field test at the Port of Gävle was
utilized as a case study, to verify simulated settlements
of preloaded stabilized dredged sediments.

PortInfra
The Project PortInfra is about infrastructure development in Ports in the Baltic Sea Regions. The aim is to support a sustainable development of port infrastructure as well as to increase knowledge transfer and cooperation within the BSR ports. The Project was presented at the GESeD congress in Caen, France, 10-12 April 2013.
National Dissemination
In order to present the results and the outcomes of the SMOCS project we will make a tour through the Baltic Sea Region. Events will be held in Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Finland and Sweden in the autumn of 2012. The key topics will be to introduce the guideline, the tools for assessment, treatment methods, decision support tools as well as results from our field tests carried out in Port of Gävle, Sweden and Port of Kokkola, Finland. Please book these dates in your calendar!

Baltic Sea Region Workshop ” Sustainable management of contaminated sediments”, Stockholm/Rosersberg, 13-14 June 2012
In June SMOCS held a workshop in Roserberg, Sweden. At the workshop results and findings from the project and others work were presented and discussed. Two key issues were highlighted in the following discussion, the first was to develop the monitoring systems and corresponding work after action had been taken, the second was the importance to find solutions, sustainable solutions, on how to manage the non-contaminated sediments.

Knowledge Transfer and Future Cooperation – KNOT
In the transnational workshop titled “Knowledge transfer and future cooperation” (KNOT) the projects SMOCS and SETARMS met with invited key-stakeholders. The main objective of the workshop was to promote cooperation between the two projects SMOCS and SETARMS to mutual benefit. During the two day workshop held in Uppsala, Sweden, results and findings from the projects were presented initially.
