WE ARE PARTNERS OF:

Dear Readers,

You have the last edition of this year’s Baltic Transport Journal in your hands. The year was full of shifts and challenges both for our selves and for the transportation business in general. We hope the changes will prove favourable. We are welcoming new members in the board of our editors with Adam Przybylowski, Ph. D. of Maritime University in Gdynia and Martyna Bildziukiewicz of Gdańsk Institute for Market Economics. We are also giving a chance to the young generation of talented writers and editors on a freelance writing basis. The changing market makes us also dedicate more space to the issues of logistics, rail and road transport, thus moving BTJ from a majorly maritime magazine to a much broader audience. We are also becoming even more global with our readership and yet still regionally devoted to the Baltic region and Northern Europe.Thus,we do invite new authors to write for us, not only economy journalists, but also transport professionals and outstanding authorities of international science.The current BTJ brings you the continuation of interesting study on “European greener mobility”by Professor Andrzej Grzelakowski, an author well-known to our readers for his in-depth analytical texts. We also focus on the European “Key logistics players” market, kindly overviewed for us by Prof. Halina Brdulak of Warsaw School of Economics.After all BTJ is always about “hot” business issues,which you will find well-reflected in a number of interviews with key management representatives of e.g. Geodis Wilson, DCT Gdańsk, OOCL and APL, as well as a world-known business strategist Rowan Gibson, who explains how innovation in the company becomes a true capability of the future. Cutting-edge logistics capabilities have been further reviewed by Prof. Stephan Wagner of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. The current conflict between two national airlines in the area comes as another spicy story by Martyna Bildziukiewicz in her “David and Goliath or Laurel and Hardy” article.Talking to important players on the market, Piotr Trusiewicz traditionally asks the ONE question in “Who’s afraid of the big bad truck” query, dedicated to possible LHVs permit in some EU countries. Highly recommending all the articles of this issue, we are looking forward to receiving your letters with comments and suggestions. Wishing to fulfil your expectations.
