S. A. al, :x ..Affiliated; FOREWORD A great war has been fought and won. So tremendous and far-reaching are its consequences that the final peace settlement even now is not in sight, though the representatives of the victorious powers have been hard at work for many months. A global war requires a global peace settlement. The task is so complex, however, that a newspaper reader finds it difficult to follow the long drawn-out and wearisome negotiations over a period of many months or even of years. Moreover, some of the issues may seem so unfamiliar, so remote from the immediate interests of the average American as hardly to be worth the attention and effort their comprehension requires. -

Czechoslovak Seafarers' Memories of Polish Ports As Their “Second Home”

Prague was designated as the place of registration for these ships. From a practical point of view, however, it was necessary for the Czechoslovak fleet to reach a port located as close as possible to the Czechoslovak border. Szczecin 31 (located 298 km from the border) became the base for the fleet not only due to the political circumstances of the Cold War but also for economic reasons. While Hamburg remained a vital harbor for international trade where “East meets West,” Polish ports were used not only for loading and unloading goods and transporting them to the republic but also to supply ships, change crews, carry out most shipyard maintenance, etc. Consequently, Czechoslovak seafarers themselves called Szczecin their “home port.” Numerous aspects of this perception as “home” will be reflected on in this paper. Specifically, the paper will touch on perceptions of Poles (mainly seafarers and dock workers), some aspects of the relationships among Czechoslovaks and Poles, including a discussion of some important historical issues (1968, the 1980s) in this area. -

References 39 Preface The introduction of new big container ships sends waves on established transport systems and illustrates the need to satisfy the demand for ports enabling efficient loading and unloading. This study is an attempt to throw light on the impact of containerization on the accessibility of ports at the Baltic Sea with attention paid to the changing conditions after the fall of the Wall. Former locked in areas have become hinterlands of ports serving the international market. EU has strengthened this integration in efforts made in Interreg-programs exemplified by the Baltic Link stretching from Trondheim in the North via Gothenburg to Adriatic ports in the South. -

One of the significant limitations of inland waterway transport on the Oder River is the water level. Its variability determines the minimum clearance under the bridges and thus the maximum drought of moving vessels. An important factor affecting the water level in the Oder River is the phenomenon of wind backwater. Certain pressure field distribution situations may affect in an increase of water level on the coast and thereby block the outflow of river waters. In this paper an example of the limitations of inland navigation in the estuarine part of the Lower Oder under the weather conditions on the southern Baltic Sea in autumn 2016 is presented. For the analysis area of Szczecin Waterway Node and section of Oder River from Szczecin to Gryfino was chosen. Based on data the weather and navigational conditions of the area of the Lower Oder were assessed. Occurring winds, currents and changes in water level has been analyzed. In the situations of unfavorable raise of the water level in the river, inland navigation is redirected to the section of Regalica River, and a section of the port of Szczecin region is closed. This causes obvious difficulties and results in prolonged ships routes. -

Abstract This paper gives a general overview of Polish experience and achievements with regard to hydrodynamic modelling in the Polish zone of the Baltic Sea. The first work started already at the end of the sixties when the first 1D and 2D hydrodynamic models were set up. With the development of numerical methods and increasing computational power a number of 1D, 2D and 3D models were set up and tested. Global, regional and local models cover the most important water bodies, i.e. the Pomeranian Bay – Szczecin Lagoon and Gulf of Gdańsk – Vistula Lagoon systems. 1. Introduction Compared to other parts of the Baltic Sea, the Polish coastline is rather regular. Here, two large rivers, the Vistula (Wisła) and the Odra (Oder), and a number of smaller ones enter the sea. Additionally, the Vistula * This paper was presented at the ECSA Symposium 34 ‘Estuaries and other brackish areas – pollution barriers or sources to the sea?’, Gdańsk–Sopot, 15–20 September 2002.
