Dear Readers,

Year 2018 is drawing to its conclusion. The past months, alike life itself, were full of ups and downs. It was a real Dickens of a job putting all the issues of the Baltic Transport Journal and the Harbours Review together - dozens of articles and hundreds of news items and Market SMSes, not to mention all the add-ons, such as our maps or the Baltic Yearbook.

But we made it - to a great extent also thanks to your support and contribution! - and hope that you've found of value both the contents of our publications and the way we're giving them a form.

We always think highly of our partners, authors, co-workers, advertisers, and numerous friends and colleagues from all corners of the world, because it is thanks to them - to you - we can continue sailing on this transport & logistics ship.

For this we bow down to you!

Hopefully, there will be occasions to meet each other at some point in 2019, too. Till then, please enjoy the holiday season, let off some steam, catch a breath, say how much you love your closest ones, take delight in food and drinks, play video games, binge on Netflix, go for a healthy hike on a crisp winter morning or ride the azure waves if you've decided to spend the holidays on a sandy Australian beach. In essence, take pleasure in what the last days of 2018 have to offer!

A Big Thank You!

With the kindest, warmest, and absolutely best Season’s Greetings!
