BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 2/19 We're very pleased to announce that the 2/19 issue is ready.
BTJ 2/19 - Report: Up, up, and away! Baltic port market in 2018 The title refers to a new all-time in our region's seaports' total freight throughput, but maybe more importantly to a marked increase in the general cargo segment's share, a mere 2.2mt behind liquid bulk.
BTJ 2/19 - Focus: Teamwork makes the dream work. Interview with Claus Bødker, Director, Cruise Baltic To say that the cruise industry is booming would be a huge understatement.
BTJ 2/19 - Technology: Communication is everything. The benefits of a Common Maritime Digital infrastructure Maritime systems lack integration.
BTJ 2/19 - Maritime: A small company with a big (Baltic) heart. Interview with Björn Knutar, Cargo Manager, Wasaline The Finnish-Swedish ferry line Wasaline operates what's said to be the world's northernmost all-year-round passenger route, at the same time taking care of considerable cross-sea-border trade between the Nordics.
BTJ 2/19 - Sustainability: The Swedish experience. Sweden's good green shipping practices and what can the international community learn from them Although Sweden is a relatively small shipping nation - the Swedish Shipowners' Association (SSA) currently includes 56 members that together own some 400 vessels, of which around one-fourth flies the country's flag - it is, at the same time, one of the pioneers when it comes to decarbonisation the industry.
BTJ 2/19 - Events: Transport Week 2019: smart investing and thinking The 9th edition of the Transport Week conference took place in Gdynia on 6-7 March.
BTJ 2/19 - Economy: Default to change. What will companies need to embrace to be successful in the 2020s Many companies and institutions increasingly offer a detailed insight into their plans and expectations by issuing medium-term outlooks.
BTJ 2/19 - Maritime: Living up to the port's expectations. Interview with Ulf Sandevärn, Marketing Manager, the Port of Karlshamn The Swedish coastline is sprinkled with seaports. While some of them have specialised themselves in serving particular industries, the Port of Karlshamn approaches the market with a universal offer, taking care of sea-road-rail cargo flows going to and from different parts of Scandinavia.

Transport miscellany

Name, please! In this column, we're particularly keen on, how to call them, flying-floating shell-ish constructions with wings (and sometimes wheels, too)?
A thing of beauty is a joy forever Only vintage postcards make it possible to travel in time to an era when passenger 'multimodality' followed the taxi-pure pax vessel-underground routine.
"Shadow children" In Spring of 2018, the Bowspirit Kids Group was founded in Lübeck. The charity wants to help sick and traumatised children and teenagers deal with the foul life has played on them.
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.
When yachts used to fly This pleasure boat (photo taken in the 1960s on the river Vltava) has been converted from the British made Saunders-Roe A.19 Cloud, which was the only flying boat in the history of Czechoslovak aviation.
A song in a ship's heart Just look at McVicar's “Giulio Cesare” (music by Handel) presented in 2013 by the Metropolitan Opera.
Where no aeroplane ever landed The Royal Mail, together with the independent philatelic offices of territories affiliatedwith the UK, commemorates this year the centenary of the Royal Air Force (RAF) by issuing stamp sets with famous fighting machines.
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.
