Stories from the sea is a project that concentrates on the seafaring and the relationships between seafarers and their confined environment.These images were mostly taken at the Baltic Sea, which is one of the world's most trafficked seas, but also very fragile sea area. Today, almost everything is at some point transported by ships. Raw materials, food, pharmaceuticals, electronic devices and clothing are carried over the waves. The world fleet is operated by 1.8 million seafarers and the international maritime transport is responsible for the transportation of around 90% of global trade.
