BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 5/18 The spanking new 5/2018 issue is ready for reading!
BTJ 5/18 - Report: The New Silk Road less travelled, but not for long. How a 40 box-big train has changed the world of transport & logistics Not a week goes by without a call for a reduction in capacity or higher rates for maritime container shipments
BTJ 5/18 - Focus: No more (big) cargo ships? European and Baltic shipyards' performance in 2017 The title question has been provoked by the recent hands change behind Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries
BTJ 5/18 - Words of praise and criticism. European Court of Auditors' take on the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2021-2027 The European Court of Auditors (ECA) has published a briefing paper on the European Commission's proposal concerning the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the 2021-2027 period.
BTJ 5/18 - Up against trade barriers. The EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement In 2013, the European Union and Japan started negotiations on an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). Despite its name, the treaty is believed to create more than just new economic opportunities.
BTJ 5/18 - A bigger picture for a better strategy. Roland Berger's trend compendium 2030: understanding and applying megatrends For us, it's been a long time coming. Almost a decade ago, little did we know that a successful cooperation with the World Economic Forum would evolve into a deep, analytical understanding of global megatrends.
BTJ 5/18 - Keepin’ it dark. Transparency International's investigation into the International Maritime Organisation Sea shipping is responsible for over 90% of world trade, and it's the most cost-effective mode of transport as well as the most energy-effcient way of moving large volumes of cargo worldwide.
BTJ 5/18 - The right location. Multimodal platform in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship as a part of the EMMA The European Union's white paper on transport, published back in 2011, states, among others, that in order to reduce transport-related emission of CO2, particularly over longer 300+ km hauls, cargo traffic should switch to eco-friendlier modes, like barges traversing inland waterways.
BTJ 5/18 - Getting the priorities straight. Interview with Dr Rolf Neise, Lecturer, the International School of Management, and author of Container Logistics. The Role of the Container in the Supply Chain The container became pretty much the staple of modern global supply chains, chiefly because its ship-trucktrain-port handiness has been standardized. Under whatever latitude we're doing business, it's nowadays shaped like a box.

160 years of C.Hartwig Gdynia What's today one of the freight forwarding pillars of OT Logistics, part of the Group since 2014, started as a tannery in the Grand Duchy of Posen, back 160 years ago part of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Batavia "express" Tri-engine aircraft were very popular during the interwar period; however, the Fokker F-XII model is slightly less renowned.
120/100 years of the semi-trailer As the latest issue of BTJ is also devoted to the ro-ro & ferry market, whose players trade in trailers, it's maybe worth mentioning Alexander Winston who back in 1898 invented what's today know as a semi-trailer
