BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 3-4/18 We are very pleased to announce that the double 3-4/2018 issue is ready.
BTJ 3-4/18 - Report: No winners. The port conflict in Gothenburg and its consequences for transport, logistics, economy, society, and the environment Last year ended with a new record in freight traffic served by our region’s seaports.
BTJ 3-4/18 - Focus: A realistic target or a fanciful illusion? European rail & road developments Ask virtually any shipper, EU policymaker, or especially a representative of the European rail freight community, and you'll hear that they all want more goods transported on rails.
BTJ 3-4/18 - Shipping, IMO, and the cosy bed they made. The complicated road to environmental shipping targets How the shipping sector lobbies to stay out of the Paris Agreement. The paper painted a sobering picture of how deeply ingrained and powerful corporations are at the IMO, and how they have successfully slowed down progress on the environmental protection regulation.
BTJ 3-4/18 - Still not enough. How the region’s countries deliver on the Baltic Sea Action Plan The Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) was developed over a decade ago to bring together the often separated individual efforts aimed at protecting the Baltic Sea. When it was introduced in 2007, it was met with great enthusiasm by the region's countries.
BTJ 3-4/18 - How the Maritime Module tackles Slow Steaming Strategy. The new Synchro-NET approach to multimodal international logistic chains Synchro-NET is a logistics project aiming at developing an innovative tool set, to find the best possible succession of carriers between the sender and the consignee, and compare several multi-modal solutions, including ship, train, and road transportation.
BTJ 3-4/18 - In progress. An update on the Port of Trelleborg's expansion Having marked a new record in ro-ro traffic last year, with over one million trucks, trailers, and pax cars that went through its quays, the Port of Trelleborg currently finds itself in a middle of a rapid development.
BTJ 3-4/18 - A cloud on the horizon. In defence of a storm claim - and avoiding one The traditional assertion that storm events are unexpected and their consequence unavoidable may no longer be simple to establish.
BTJ 3-4/18 - Are you compliant? The GDPR’s impact on the maritime industry The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force on 25 May. By introducing a new standard of data protection, it was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across the European Union.

Transport miscellany

Freight non olet The Åland Post's Sailing Ship series achieved its halfway point, opening new horizons, too.
Child's play? Now it's high time for our rail not-only-Russian curiosity vol. 3! Would you board a train steered by a teenage driver?
A futuristic vision from 1967 Cast your imagination 50 years into the past over the mountains and lakes of Switzerland, and you won't see what today seems obvious, namely a safe passage for trucks throughout the Alps, known as the Gotthard Road Tunnel.
Batavia "express" Tri-engine aircraft were very popular during the interwar period; however, the Fokker F-XII model is slightly less renowned.
120/100 years of the semi-trailer As the latest issue of BTJ is also devoted to the ro-ro & ferry market, whose players trade in trailers, it's maybe worth mentioning Alexander Winston who back in 1898 invented what's today know as a semi-trailer
School in a container We're continuing our search for innovative uses of a shipping container. This time we're attracting your attention to the Solar Powered Internet Schools (SPIS) project launched back in 2014 by Samsung Electronics through the Hope for Children initiative.
Look, the Albatross! On 3 October, we'll be celebrating the 70th anniversary of the more than successful end to the Swedish oceanographic Albatross expedition, which - what a coincidence! - got its name because it took place aboard the Albatross.
Third time's the charm An unusual monument in Lisbon reminds us of a peculiar flight, or should we rather say - a series of Atlantic flights from the Portuguese capital to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil that took place in 1922.
Świnoujście-Ystad ferry link's 50th anniversary Another jubilee was celebrated in Poland and Sweden last year. On June 20th, 1967, Polsteam's ro-pax Gryf made her maiden voyage across the Baltic, between the ports of Świnoujście and Ystad.
