The bilateral agreement on the construction of the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link and its associated access routes was formalised in a treaty signed in September 2008.

I n t r o d u c t i o n The range of Schleswig-Holstein ports is manifold: High performance installations for handling large numbers of passengers, bulk and mixed cargo, as well as of Ro-Ro freight are available in the major sea ports. A consolidated network of regular ferry and freight lines provide continuous service to the Northern European States, as well as to Russia and the Baltic States. Destination and source areas of the products handled in these ports extend from the German industrial centres far into mid-, western- and southern European Sates. Nu- merous regionally important harbours open the waterways for Schleswig-Holstein’s trades and industry, afford unobstructed traffic to the islands and create an essential basis for local fisheries. Schleswig-Holstein’s ports along the Lower Elbe between Hamburg and the North Sea are partly located on junctions of the Elbe and the Kiel Canal. Due to their location, the ports of Brunsbüttel, Glückstadt and Wedel, are ideal partners for Metropolitan Hamburg in managing its streams of goods and traffic by water, rail and road.

  • Peeking Into the Danish Living Room. Internet Access To
    Peeking Into the Danish Living Room Internet access to a large speech corpus Peter Juel Henrichsen Dept, of Danish Dialectology and Dept, of General and Applied Linguistics (lAAS) Univ. of Copenhagen, Njalsgade 80, DK-2300 S, Denmark [email protected] 1. Introduction Our newly opened Internet site offers a view to a >10* word corpus of informal Danish conversations. The corpus and the search engine situated at lAAS can now be reached and used as easily as any homepage on the World Wide Web, offering a tool for serious investigations into informal speech. After a few introductory remarks, we shall present the corpus and the search engine as seen from the user’s point of view, following up the presentation with a few example queries. In conclusion, some reflections on the possibilities that the Internet has to offer in utilisation, maintenance, and control of large corpora of semi-confidential data. The new site may be reached directly at the URL http://phoneme.cphling.dk/BySoc , or else via the lAAS home page at http://www.cphling.dk 1.1 Why study informal speech? Ordinary people are common. Most of the day, they talk casually, taking part in informal conversations. So, by far the largest part of the language national product must be plain and simple vernacular. Moreover, most children acquire their mother tongue exposed to this style only, arguably making it the most essential part as well. Still, the syntax and semantics of informal speech have hardly been studied at all with the exact means of modem formal grammar. Why? Firstly, because informal speech is irregular, seen from a traditional syntactic point of view, making it much more recalcitrant to work with than educated written style.

  • In the Western Baltic Sea (Embarkation and Disembarkation in Kiel, Germany)
    “Welcome to Summer” in the Western Baltic Sea (embarkation and disembarkation in Kiel, Germany) Fri 14 June 2019 Fri 21 June 2019 The great windjammers were once dubbed the 'cathedrals of the seas' when their mountains of canvas appeared on the ocean's horizon. Swap your everyday life for a week on board a traditional tall ship! Our two- mast ship, built in 1911, will take you on a voyage through the South Funen archipelago you will never forget. All sailing manoeuvres are carried out by hand. After receiving safety instructions and an introduction to sailing by the ship's crew, you can soon join in the sailing yourself – always on a voluntary basis, of course. This is where you will embark: Kiel-Holtenau Our crew will welcome you on board in Holtenau on the western shore of the Kiel Fjord. Embarkation takes place at 19:00 hours. After a welcome drink and dinner in the deck lounge, you will have the opportunity to observe the lively coming and going at the locks of the Kiel Canal. From small sports yachts to ocean liners, vessels of all kinds and sizes can be seen passing by around the clock on the world's busiest artificial waterway. Walking to the small Holtenau lighthouse (pictured right), you will get a taste of the nostalgic harbour atmosphere – numerous old cargo ships and schooners are anchored on the quay at dusk. Our sailing waters: Kiel Fjord, Flensburg Fjord and Little Belt After breakfast, it will be time to "cast off!". Soon afterwards we will reach the open Baltic Sea at the Kiel lighthouse.

  • Zero-Emission Ferry Concept for Scandlines
    Zero-Emission Ferry Concept for Scandlines Fridtjof Rohde, Björn Pape FutureShip, Hamburg/Germany Claus Nikolajsen Scandlines, Rodby/Denmark Abstract FutureShip has designed a zero-emission ferry for Scandlines’ Vogelfluglinie (linking Puttgarden (Germany) and Rødby (Denmark), which could be deployed by 2017. The propulsion is based on liquid hydrogen converted by fuel cells for the electric propulsion. The hydrogen could be obtained near the ports using excess electricity from wind. Excess on-board electricity is stored in batteries for peak demand. Total energy needs are reduced by optimized hull lines, propeller shape, ship weight and procedures in port. 1. Introduction The “Vogelfluglinie” denotes the connection of the 19 km transport corridor between Puttgarden (Germany) and Rødby (Denmark), Fig.1. This corridor has been served for many years by Scandlines ferries, which transport cars and trains. Four ferries serve two port terminals with specifically tailored infrastructure, Fig.2. The double- end ferries do not have to turn around in port, which contributes to the very short time in port. Combined with operating speed between 15 and 21 kn, departures can be offered every 30 minutes. After decades of unchal- lenged operation, two developments appeared on the horizon which changed the business situation for Scandli- nes fundamentally: 1. New international regulations would curb permissible thresholds for emissions from ships in the Baltic Sea: Starting from 2015, only fuels with less than 0.1% sulphur, i.e. a 90% reduction compared to present opera- tion, will be permissible for Baltic Sea shipping. Starting from 2016, Tier III of MARPOL’s nitrogen oxides (NOx) regulations will become effective.
