BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 6/20 We're pleased to announce that the 6/20 issue is ready and - as always - packed with great reads!
BTJ 6/20 - REPORT: The Baltic bulk market in 2019 Last year, the region's bulk market advanced across the board, exceeding the result noted for the entire port traffic.
BTJ 6/20 - ECONOMY: Redrawing the map of global trade. The Boston Consulting Group's take on how will the coronavirus alter international trade corridors The COVID-19 pandemic has delivered perhaps the greatest shocks to international trade since the Great Depression.
BTJ 6/20 - ECONOMY: A patchwork of excellence, failure, and everything in between. Two distinct takes on the development of the EU TEN-T The timely construction of the European Union's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) is crucial to realising its priorities of strengthening and invigorating economic growth and addressing climate change-related challenges.
BTJ 6/20 - ECONOMY: Staying strong. Marine insurance in a changing climate Marine underwriting, as the original line of insurance, has suffered in recent years and now finds itself buffeted from many directions, not least by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
BTJ 6/20 - MARITIME: The shipbuilding pendulum. European and Baltic shipyards' performance in 2019-2020 This year's end grants us with a good opportunity to summarize the entire second decade of the 21st century, hence provide us with the answer whether it was favourable to the European shipbuilding industry in general and to the Baltic Sea region in particular. No, it was not.
BTJ 6/20 - MARITIME: Glue down the loo? Surely not… Developing a sustainable & non-blocking toilet paper to address marine plastic pollution One thing shared by all humans and animals is the natural requirement to use the privy, and yet our sensitivities and embarrassment stop us from having conversations about what really goes on in the smallest room (one notable exception, of course, must be the Japanese for whom the lavatory is not only a technical marvel but a luxury experience and source of great national pride!).
BTJ 6/20 - SUSTAINABILITY: A higher purpose. Creating a simple & secure platform for buyers and suppliers to drive fair, transparent, and more sustainable trade The passing year has been an unprecedented period of challenge for everyone in learning how to live, work and create a 'new normal' under the dark clouds of the coronavirus pandemic.
BTJ 6/20 - BPO NEWSLETTER: Comprehensive Ports key for the entire TEN-T Issues and challenges surrounding the development of ports belonging to the TEN-T Comprehensive Network have long been one of the key areas of the Baltic Ports Organization's (BPO) agenda.

Transport miscellany

Flying Vikings This modest floatplane from 1931 was the first aircraft built by the Swedish Railroad Workshop's Airplane Department (ASJA), one of the cornerstones of today's SAAB.
Pax only The coronavirus pandemic has blackened many things, almost - almost! - casting its thick shadow over one of the most important transport anniversaries of 2020.
Survitec's 100th birthday The global provider of survival solutions has partnered with the Museum of Godalming to curate a virtual exhibition to mark the company's centenary.
Under a wing While some countries are just starting to gear towards harnessing wind energy, others are already replacing old turbines with newer models.
Everything comes to him who waits A beautiful postcard of the ferry Stena Saga, from the Frederikshavn-Oslo link 'killed' by the coronavirus pandemic a while ago, reminds us of former cases of closed services and laid up ferries.
Pensioner at 111 Trelleborg is going to have a new monument, probably the highest in the city!
Best social distancing ever Aeroplanes aren't well-suited to facilitate maintaining a proper distance in times of a pandemic. Well, at least the majority of them!
Boardwalk railways In the previous instalment of this column, we mentioned a narrow-gauge railway on one of the East Frisian Islands built in the 19th century to join a ferry harbour on the isle's south coast with a settlement located by the open sea.
Victualled trailers Containers, containers, nothing but containers, enough already!
