Maritime Supply Chain Sustainability: South-East Finland Case Study
Lähdeaho et al. Journal of Shipping and Trade (2020) 5:16 Journal of Shipping https://doi.org/10.1186/s41072-020-00073-z and Trade ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Maritime supply chain sustainability: South- East Finland case study Oskari Lähdeaho1*, Olli-Pekka Hilmola1,2 and Riitta Kajatkari3 * Correspondence: oskari.lahdeaho@ lut.fi Abstract The article processing charge for this manuscript is supported by Emphasis on sustainability practices is growing globally in the shipping industry due China Merchants Energy Shipping. to regulations on emissions from transportation as well as increasing customer 1Kouvola Unit, LUT University, demand for sustainability. This research aims to shed light on the environmental Prikaatintie 9, FIN-45100 Kouvola, Finland sustainability of companies involved in maritime logistics at the major Finnish Full list of author information is seaport, HaminaKotka. This seaport is a part of International Maritime Organization’s available at the end of the article (IMO) Baltic and North Sea emission control area, with special emission-reducing measures contributing directly to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by mitigating negative impacts of industrial activity on environment and climate change. Two semi-structured interviews with companies at HaminaKotka were carried out to construct a case study examining the sustainability challenges at hand. In addition, experience of one of the authors in a managerial position at the studied seaport complex, as well as the sustainability communications of the companies situated in the area were used to support the findings. The companies improve environmental sustainability by using multimodal transport chains, alternative fuels in the transports, and environmental sustainability demands towards their partners. -

Lightweight Primary Structures for High-Speed Railway Carbodies
25 número 5 - junio - 2018. Pág 9 - 21 Lightweight primary structures for High-speed railway carbodies De la Guerra, Eduardo Talgo1 Abstract The railway industry are looking to increase the capacity of the railway system, bringing flexibility in order to align capacity and demand, to increase availability, reliability and energy efficiency reducing life cycle costs (LCC) and an improvement of the passenger comfort and the attractiveness of the rail transport. One of the lines of action to solve the above challenges is the introduction of new carbody structures. The weight saving potential of the use of new materials and technologies in the carbody structures would result in reduced power consumption, lower inertia, less track wear and the ability to carry greater payloads. One example of the employ of light structures is Talgo AVRIL train, with an innovative layout of seats that allows to introduce one extra seat per row (3+2 configuration), increasing dramatically the capacity of the train. It has been possible, respecting the current regulatory framework, with an optimized design of the extruded aluminium structure. It will be presented different challenges of introducing lighter structures in the carbodies of coaches of high speed train and different studies and projects to describe the future possibilities of new material and methodologies to improve the lightness of the vehicles.

HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates. -
