BTJ Highlights & current issue

BTJ 3-4/26 Summer is, um, well, a bit under the bridge already - but not the dazzlingly hot 3-4/26 issue of the Baltic Transport Journal fresh outta oven! Just in time to keep you cosily warm during those autumn days.
BTJ 3-4/26 - DEAR READERS The summer issue should, apparently, start with something about the weather - though it's probably early autumn when you're reading this. And that's actually what links the two. Alright, we had a few heat-wave days in north-central Poland too, fair enough, but the summer of 2026 was in many places across Europe, including its northern regions, one massive, never-ending, here-to-melt-your-brain-out, scorching thermal onslaught. It was thus a bit of a tone-turbulence sharing with partners from Germany or the UK that one could endure here a bone-chilling bike ride in the morning, courtesy of milk-thick fog, ahead of a day that wasn't all that warmer, for good measure sprinkled with rain, wind, a leaden sky - and whatever else Mother Nature felt like tossing in (a touch over-generously).
BTJ 3-4/26 - CHART OF THE ISSUE: Baltic port market in 2025
BTJ 3-4/26 - BTJ TRIP: Outgrowing its own boundaries. Rostock Overseas Port Our 2026 trip season began on the German Baltic coast - in Rostock. Though the settlement dates back to the 1100s, joined the Hanseatic League in 1251, and thrived as a vibrant seaport already in the 14th century, what we know today as Rostock Overseas Port has its roots in 1960.
BTJ 3-4/26 - BTJ TRIP: Rooted in the Baltic, tabs on today, eyeing the future. Interview with Dr Gernot Tesch and Jens A. Scharner, Managing Directors, ROSTOCK PORT GmbH Rostock has time and again reached all-time highs in cargo handling, all while navigating unprecedented supply-chain reshufflings, and is positioning itself as a green-energy hub for Northern Europe.
BTJ 3-4/26 - BTJ TRIP: "She's a brave lady…" POLSCA Baltic Ferries' Gdańsk-Karlshamn brand-new ferry service "…with great potential remaining," greeted us Henryk Tybuszewski, Hotel/F&B Manager at Unity Line (together with Polferries the founders of the POLSCA Baltic Ferries brand), when our other Przemek and I boarded Skania moored at the Westerplatte Ferry Terminal in Gdańsk's Inner Port on 3 August.
BTJ 3-4/26 - SAFETY: Beyond the berth. The hidden security risk at the port-to-anchorage interface Maritime security, especially complying with the ISPS Code, is most often discussed in the context of ports, terminals, and shipboard compliance.
BTJ 3-4/26 - SAFETY: (Sea) dog-tired. More support instead of checklists - that's what seafarers actually need Fatigue remains one of the biggest safety concerns in shipping. Its impact on judgement, concentration, and decision-making is well understood, and no one questions the importance of work and rest hour regulations.
BTJ 3-4/26 - SAFETY: Simply effective. Increasing safety and capacity with MacGregor's Balanced Lashing System For carriers, damaged container corner castings create an operational hazard with potentially severe consequences for handling efficiency, cargo integrity, and vessel safety.

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.
