BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 1/19 We are very pleased to announce that the 1/2019 issue is ready.
BTJ 1/19 - Report: Steady as the region goes. Baltic transport 2018 highlights It was yet another peaceful year across the Baltic Sea region. No SECA-like regulations, trade wars, rampant spikes in the price of bunkers, or racking disputes between trade unions and terminal operators, just good ol' transport and logistics.
BTJ 1/19 - Focus: Green and smart. Transforming ports into sustainable transportation hubs with shore-to-ship power Speeding up decarbonisation in the transportation sector is crucial to reach the challenging global warming targets set in the Paris Agreement.
BTJ 1/19 - Globalization undergoes a makeover. Coexistence of the changing socioeconomic climate and global business Picture, or most likely - look back to, a situation where you stopped at a red light and your car wouldn't move on green.
BTJ 1/19 - To the fore. Promoting the use of inland waterways in the Baltic Sea Region "Inland waterway transport (IWT) is a green, smart transport mode, well-integrated in multi-modal supply chains with a remarkable share in the modal split." That is the vision for IWT in the Baltic Sea Region championed by project EMMA, co-funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme, ever since it kicked off in March 2016.
BTJ 1/19 - Global cargo theft analysed. Findings from the Semi-Annual Global Cargo Theft Intelligence and Advisory Report TT Club, in conjunction with BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions, has launched the first joint Semi-Annual Global Cargo Theft Intelligence and Advisory Report.
BTJ 1/19 - Focus: The way of doing business. Harbours Review Spotlight: onshore power supply, 14-15/01/19, Oslo The third instalment of the seminar devoted to the topic of onshore power supply (OPS) - organised by Actia Forum within the premises of the Port of Oslo and with the help of ABB, the event's Gold Sponsor, as well as Schneider Electric and STEMMANN-TECHNIK - couldn't have found a better host, as this year Oslo is the European Green Capital.
BTJ 1/19 - To see the forest through the trees. How to approach digitalisation in the maritime industry The maritime industry finds itself amid a perfect storm of economic stresses, regulatory changes, and technological disruption. This situation is forced upon it by a combination of cut-throat competition, strained financial performance in many shipping segments, and a strong need to reduce the industry's environmental footprint.
BTJ 1/19 - The year of digital transformation. Global logistics trends 2019 Every year 'round November we sit down here at Youredi and discuss what the next year's logistics trends are going to look like. While we're an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) vendor, how companies arrange the worldwide flow of goods is crucially important to us.

Transport miscellany

50 years since the first set has been combined This year, on 11 February, the Frankfurt am Main-based Kombiverkehr celebrated half a century of operation.
Dockyards, ships, terminals, cars, and Ukiyo-e The Japanese sea shipping and terminal operating company, going under the full name of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
The Illy House Some like buying their coffee in bulk.
It's a bird... It's a plane... It's Riga! The Latvian airline airBaltic celebrated the 100th anniversary of the nation's independence by christening its newest Airbus A220-300 Riga and by painting it in the colours of the national flag.
The Swedish nestling that flew over the Atlantic Two issues ago we ventured to Brazil and believe it or not, but Eduardo André Matarazzo Museum of Arms, Vehicles, and Machines, located in Bebedouro, state of São Paulo, hosts an important piece of Swedish industrial and technical heritage, namely the only existing copy of Saab's first attempt to develop a passenger aircraft.
From hunting to oil to housing It was in the 1680s, when Charles XI of Sweden took into possession the northern and southern parts of Djurgården, an island in central Stockholm, turning them into hunting grounds.
The Honey Highway Last year, kids from the primary school in Briele planted flowers, among many the Evening Primrose and Viper's Bugloss, creating what's known today in the Netherlands as the Honey Highway and which can be admired if one happens to drive on the A15.
50 years of the Evergreen Group On 1 September, over 1,000 people from more than 50 countries gathered in Taipei to celebrate the setup of the company. The birthday party was inaugurated with the performance of the choir of the Yihsing branch of the Jiahsing Elementary School from the Hsinchu County (which received a gold medal at the 31st Franz Schubert Choir Competition in Vienna this June).
50 years of Daikin Reefer… The company, part of Daikin Industries, a Japanese multinational air conditioning manufacturing company headquartered in Osaka, is celebrating this year the 50th anniversary of entering the reefer container market with the LKS501 model - or should we rather say: co-creating a completely new business.
