We, the organizers, will do everything we can to make this a positive and fruitful conference.

På detta sätt skulle en mindre mängd el behöva produceras med fartygets dieselgeneratorer och bunkerkostnaderna skulle fås ner, samt utsläppen minskar. För att få reda på ifall en installation skulle vara möjlig, har mätningar och beräkningar på mängden värme ombord utförts. Kontakt har tagits med en tillverkare av denna typ av system och fartygets klassällskap har konsulterats ifall det finns några hinder för installationen. Resultaten av undersökningarna är att det sannolikt finns goda förutsättningar för en installation, då en tillräcklig mängd värme finns ombord samt plats för själva maskinen. En återbetalningstid på investeringen har också beräknats, baserat på de rådande förutsättningarna, men för att få en riktigt attraktiv investering borde bunkerpriserna öka från nuvarande nivåer.

  • Södertörns Högskola | Institutionen För Ekonomi Och Företagande
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för Naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Turismvetenskap C | Vårterminen 2014 Rederiers hantering av nya miljökrav - En studie om Birka Cruises, Tallink Silja och Viking Lines arbete med ekonomisk och miljömässig hållbar utveckling. Av: Annika Ahlström, Marianna Moreira de Macedo och Sabrina Fernandes Handledare: Kjell Ljungbo Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine how Viking Line, Tallink Silja and Birka Cruises work with economic and environmental sustainability, and also to see how they work with new environmental legislations. In 2015 a new environmental legislation will be introduced, by the name Sulphur directive. The Sulphur directive entails a reduction in Sulphur dioxide emissions from ships where the emissions cannot exceed 0,1 percent. There are three alternatives to achieve the new environmental legislation, the use of Marine Gas Oil, LNG or scrubbers. All three alternatives will lead to increasing costs for the shipping industry. The three companies exerts its shipping traffic in the Baltic Sea, a sea that is highly sensitive to external impacts. In the study qualitative methods were used, three personal interviews and five telephone interviews. Five theories were used to understand how the companies work, their estimations and their decisions: Strategic Tourism Planning Process, the Triple Bottom Line, the COSO model, The Decision-making Process and Responsible Cruise Tourism. The results of the study show that all three companies are facing an uncertain economic sustainable future and the deciding factors will be technological development, fuel prices and competitiveness. Keywords: Sustainable development, sulphur directive, SECA, The Baltic Sea, shipping, LNG, scrubbers, Marine Gas Oil Sammanfattning Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur Viking Line, Tallink Silja och Birka Cruises arbetar med ekonomisk och miljömässig hållbar utveckling samt hur de arbetar och hanterar det nya miljökravet som ställts.

    Södertörns högskola | Företagsekonomiska institutionen Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Turismvetenskap C | Vårterminen 2011 (Frivilligt: Programmet för xxx) Östersjörederiernas marknadsföringsstrategier – en studie om Tallink Silja AB, Viking Line AB och Birka Cruises AB Av: Patrik Holm och Anastassia Klein Handledare: Dennis Zalamans FÖRORD Denna studie har varit en mycket givande och väldigt lärorik upplevelse för oss båda. Uppsatsskrivandet har varit till största del framarbetat gemensamt, dock har ett antal delar i teoriavsnittet delats upp. Patrik Holm har haft ansvar för 30R och Anastassia Klein har tagit och sammanfattat Gapanalys och Produktens tre nivåer. Dessa teorier har sedan bearbetas gemensamt under analys och slutsats delen. Gällande inledning, metod, genomförda intervjuer samt enkätundersökningar är det svårt att särskilja vem som haft övergripande ansvaret, eftersom vi både varit likvärdigt delaktiga och har haft samma ansvar och ambitioner under studiens gång. Vi vill tacka alla fem respondenter som delade sina erfarenheter med oss, samt gav oss värdefull information till vår kandidatuppsats. Ett stort tack vill vi även rikta till vår handledare för alla nyttiga tips och råd under arbetet med denna uppsats. Tack så mycket! Patrik Holm och Anastassia Klein SAMMANFATTNING Titel: Östersjörederiernas marknadsföringsstrategier Författare: Patrik Holm och Anastassia Klein Handledare: Dennis Zalamans Turismaktiviteter till havs har kommit att få ett ökat intresse de senaste åren, där människor har upptäckt fördelen med kryssningsfärjor som transportmedel. De erbjuder ett varierat utbud av aktiviteter och upplevelser ombord, som både privat- och affärsresenärer kan ta del av. Detta omfattar flera kundgrupper med olika behov, vilket innebär att rederierna måste uppfylla kundernas förväntningar och vad de efterfrågar. I nuläget finns det en bred konkurrens på marknaden, där de olika aktörerna försöker skapa en egen nisch genom olika marknadsföringsstrategier i syfte att skapa långsiktiga relationer.

First, ensuring that cargo traffic is maintained in order to keep the economies running and providing their societies with the necessary supplies. As such, no country in the BSR has introduced a lockdown on freight transports. Second, limiting passenger traffic, both with other countries as well as domestically, so as to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19. This has created some stressing situations for people who found themselves not able to cross borders; fortunately, in a few cases Baltic ferry companies have been ad hoc able to transport such people from one country to another. European institutions are, on their part, coming up with measures aimed at protecting the proper functioning of the EU single market as well as schemes thanks to which companies, that may find themselves in difficulties because of the pandemic, can stay afloat.

From the region Paweł Żaboklicki divided for 45 years by the Iron Curtain, it transformed into the area of vast cooperation. The theme of the conference will be 'Building on the * past, heading for the future'. The reference to the past should be, however, a stepping-stone to the discussion about the future.
