BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 2/18 We are very pleased to announce that the 2/2018 issue is ready and - as always - packed with various topics and articles.
BTJ 2/18 - Report: Another ton. Baltic port market in 2017 Last year ended with a new record in freight traffic served by our region’s seaports.
BTJ 2/18 - Focus: There's a cruise for everybody. Interview with Bo Larsen, SVP, Strategic Partnerships, CLIA Europe While still being a niche segment, the cruise industry is enjoying rapid growth these days, with tens of thousands of new travellers boarding the floating hotels each year.
BTJ 2/18 - Can you afford turning a blind eye? The battle against cyberattacks in the supply chain As evidenced by the well-publicised ransomware attacks on major transport organisations, including majors like A.P. Møller-Mærsk Group and TNT, cybercrime has become increasingly commonplace within the global supply chain.
BTJ 2/18 - At a good clip. The Baltic and the southeast Norwegian cruise market in 2017 Traditionally, at the beginning of the year Cruise Baltic, a Copenhagen-based organisation gathering several dozen cruise ports from across the Baltic Sea region (plus three harbours located on Norway’s southeast coast), published its latest market findings.
BTJ 2/18 - Our shared treasure. Interview with Alexey Grom, President and CEO, UTLC The rail network spanning over the so-called Eurasian Land Bridge has been rapidly evolving for a few years now. It currently encompasses multiple Silk Roads which link destinations unimaginable in the past to be connected through rail services, such as London or Madrid with east-central China.
BTJ 2/18 - Reverse to advance. A new logistics model to support the advancement of circular economy The Deutsche Post DHL Group and Cranfield University have published a report, entitled Waste not, want not: Capturing the value of the circular economy through reverse logistics, which looks at the potential to evolve a concept where materials, components, and products are recovered and re-processed more effectively in comparison to today’ (wasteful) practices.
BTJ 2/18 - Truck orders with the click of a mouse. Digital freight forwarding The award-winning start-up Cargonexx is expanding its services into the Baltic region. The young company from Hamburg specializes in optimizing truck capacities with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
BTJ 2/18 - To be a model of multimodality. The INTERMODEL project According to a special report published in 2016 by the European Court of Auditors Rail freight transportin the EU: still not on the right track, the sector’s share of the total inland cargo traffic in the EU went down from 19.7% in 2000 to 17.8% in 2013, despite enormous money allocated to various rail promoting projects (€28b in 2007-2013).

Transport miscellany

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.
In fine fettle Although the Danish Port of Esbjerg, celebrating its 150th birthday this year, is located on then North Sea, it has always been included on our maps, as it de facto serves the Baltic market, too.
Seventy years of the IMO On 6 March, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited the HQ of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to take part in celebrating IMO’s 70th birthday. The Convention on the International Maritime Organization was adopted on 6 March 1948 at the United Nations Maritime Conference held in Geneva.
スウェーデン語を話せますか This year we're celebrating the 150th anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties between Japan and the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway. This was the first treaty the Government of Meiji Japan, which overthrew the Tokugawa shogunate, signed with a foreign country.
Full circle? The symbolic statue Quo Vadis, sculpted by the Czech artist David Černý, was erected in 2001 on the premises of the German Embassy in Prague to commemorate the expats.
