    Thought Leadership Award 2019

    Press Release July 19, 2021 Swiss Federal Railways CEO Vincent Ducrot defends top position in CEO Image Ranking − Vincent Ducrot, CEO of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), once again wins Sonntagszeitung‘s Swiss CEO Image Ranking. His results are positive after one year in office. − Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg remains on second place towards the end of his term and scores points with climate protection targets. Holcim CEO Jan Jenisch climbs to the third place in the ranking. − However, the CEOs on the lower places of the ranking are increasingly facing criticism. Vincent Ducrot, CEO of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), defends his top position in the CEO Image Ranking in the second quarter of 2021. The ranking was published by Sonntagszeitung. He thus repeatedly leads the ranking, for which UNICEPTA analyzed the media presence of the CEOs of all Swiss companies on the SMI as well as Coop, Glencore, Migros, SBB and Swiss Post. The result is positive overall after more than one year in office. Ducrot has changed the corporate culture to the better, among other things by being a “railwayman”, Basler Zeitung sums up. Tages-Anzeiger adds: “The employees were suddenly more satisfied and motivated. And most importantly, trust in the leadership grew strongly." An extensive employee survey that strengthened Ducrot's image in the first quarter is still resonating positively. Glasenberg (Glencore) scores points towards the end of his term, Jenisch (Holcim) reorganizes the company There is no change on the second place in the second quarter of the year either. Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg, who was succeeded by Gary Nagle on July 1, scores with the company’s dedicated climate protection targets.

    The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry

    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

In no other part of the world are trains, trams and buses used as often as they are in this small Alpine country. In fact, so beloved is the public transportation system in Switzerland that its people have repeatedly voted in favor of extending the already comprehensive rail network even further. The country’s aim is to carry more travelers on public transport and transfer more freight from road to rail. ABB is participating in this effort, supplying the power for the two new base tunnels through the Alps – the Lötschberg and the Gotthard – as well as DC traction substations for public transport in the conurbations around the cities of Zurich, Bern and Luzern. tudies repeatedly show that has not only increased the frequency of the Swiss are world champi- its timetable, it also continually upgrades ons when it comes to travel- its rolling stock.

Evidence from cases fought through the Crown Courts so far suggested that it was very difficult to define what is meant by significant unmet demand, with consequential inconsistencies in decisions. For instance in Stockton the growth in the number of hire cars was accepted as evidence of unmet demand, whereas in similar circumstances elsewhere that argument has failed. Similarly the degree to which a lack of taxis at peak times or in out-of-cntre locations has been accepted as evidence has varied.
