BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 6/18 We are very pleased to announce that the 6/2018 issue is ready!
BTJ 6/18 - Report: The rub of the green. Zero-emission shipping by 2035 The conversation around whether more vigorous steps are needed to be taken to axe the sea shipping's carbon footprint often start with the 3% figure - the industry's contribution to human-caused climate change.
BTJ 6/18 - Corridor of Impact. Setting up the EU TEN-T in the Baltic - opportunities and challenges The Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), initially adopted in 1996, was given new guidelines fordevelopment in December 2013 by the European Parliament and the European Council. It is expected to befully functioning by 2050, with parts classifed as the Core Network expected to be ready by 2030.
BTJ 6/18 - Training for the jobs of tomorrow. Increasing port cargo trafc vs. decreasing workforce When we take a closer look at certain ports in the south of the Baltic, say the Polish Gdańsk or the Lithuanian Klaipėda, we can observe that their freight handlings in general, and container turnover in particular, have been advancing at a rapid pace for some time now.
BTJ 6/18 - Choose your sub-contractors wisely. Building trust in suppliers It sometimes seems that the international freight transport arena is full of tiger pits. In particular, there's the matter of finding trustworthy partners and sub-contractors who are so vital to delivering a coordinated and seamless transport service across the globe.
BTJ 6/18 - Accelerating from the outside. How to build a global entrepreneurship hub for maritime innovation In the beginning - as the saying goes - there was nothing. Then, in early 2015, the idea to establish a platform that would spur innovation in port, maritime, logistics, and energy sectors, industries which are intrinsically tied to each other, was born.
BTJ 6/18 - Worlds apart? Collaboration between shippers and ocean carriers Carriers are dependent on customers who justify their existence. Shippers, in turn, depend on carriers moving their cargo from one port to the other.
BTJ 6/18 - Report: Cautious optimism is the name of the emission-free game. Governments reined in to let innovation lead the way to zero-emission shipping Some maritime stakeholders have declared that "radical innovation" in the marine fuel business is needed in order to meet the very ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in April of 2018.
BTJ 6/18 - Off the blocks.Opportunities and challenges of using blockchain in transports In spite of the overheatedly debated topic of cryptocurrencies, where, it seems, the main focus was put on the sharply rising or falling prices of Bitcoin and the likes, the underlying technology - blockchain - continues to attract attention, now also across the transport & logistics domain.
