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 - On the move. How the Port of Trelleborg is meeting future demand with the help of EU project investments Since 1989 the wheeled freight trafc at the Swedish Port of Trelleborg has been growing at an annual average of 6%.
BTJ 2/18 - Take care of today, look to the future. Ports are often viewed as the barometer of the economy and of industrial demand and output. Signs of the economic turning points, the theory goes, can be sensed through the ports’ pulse, sometimes long before official statistics reveal that something must be going up.
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 - On-trend. Interview with Valdo Kalm, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO, the Port of Tallinn Estonia is a globally renowned leader in technology. Already back in 2007, it became the world’s first country in which one could vote in a general election on-line. Today, it pioneers other techbreakthroughs, such as the lightning-fast 5G system.
BTJ 2/18 - On an equal footing. Why port agents should start looking to the cloud In an already slow to adapt industry, a port agency is perhaps one of the most reluctant adopters in the maritime space of technological innovation. While spreadsheets and e-mails are commonplace, equally, so are handwritten workbooks and post-it notes.
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.

Transport miscellany

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.
Lights to the gate This seems to be an update of the Baltic Transport Journal's 2/2017 Collector's Corner.
Multipurpose postcard We often recollect old ideas that should be refreshed because of their educational or marketing values.
