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

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.
Half a century of Gothenburg-Kiel ferry-sailing The first ever mention of a regular ferry service between the two ports was in November 1964, when Sten A. Olsson said that a link served by a newbuild would be established within two years.
Our man in the flying boat This column has a few soft spots for some things, one of them being flying boats, already depicted here several times before. Jan Nagórski must have liked them as well.
To be renewed! Perhaps you have not heard much about the turnover results of the Kędzierzyn-Koźle port, but things can change pretty soon.
Confessional in a box Supplementing our analysis - illumination! - of the container market, we would like to tear off the hard exterior, exposing the spiritual side of the industry.
The oldest map of Scandinavia Carta Marina, printed in 1539 in Venice, was published by the last catholic Bishop of Uppsala, Olaus Magnus (who was expatriated from his country, upheaved by the protestant revolution, so don't be surprised by the "Italian, first published label").
Eat your vegetables! In previous issues we wrote about a confessional and an espresso bar (the latter comes together with an open-air bath and a toilet, omg!), both of which were set up using a shipping container.
Not only cheese, chocolates, and banks The depicted steam locomotive Sk1 No. 124 isn’t maybe the country’s oldest, but – in our opinion – it’s the most charming one in the collection of the Finnish Railway Museum.
