Transport miscellany

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.
First! Believe it or not, but gliders made it to the inner part of the Port of Gdynia before ships did. What’s more, they even did it ahead of the dredgers which dug the harbour channel! It all happened in 1925in then the village of Oksywie (now Gdynia’s city district), which was chosen as the place for the 2nd All-Polish Glider Challenge.
Cruising in the Baltic - on a train! Following our interview with one of the top execs of the European branch of the Cruise Lines International Association for the Harbours Review, our other publication, our appetite for embarking on a cruise journey across the Baltic Sea region has grown even more.
Multi-environmental vehicle Our readers know that we are very keen on "intermodal" vehicles, especially when they use air to travel and water to rest.
The very beginning Although the jubilee of the ferry link between Świnoujście and Ystad is far behind us, this column has its own rules and can commemorate it once again, especially if our research brings something extra.
