Bunkering services For London, the Thames and the Port of London Authority (PLA), the answer is an awful lot. The gaze of the world’s TV cameras may no longer be on the city or the Thames, but the scope and scale of developments on the river is unprecedented. around the clock The diversity of investment projects in hand along the river tells the story. They cover power generation, container For all your THAMES & MEDWAY requirements handling, vehicle and car parts delivery, passenger piers and fuel handling. It’s a testament to the Thames being a great place to do business. People are at the heart of that business. Thames-side facilities enjoy unique ‘on the doorstep’ access to the biggest consumer market in the UK. And in London that market access is backed by the wealth of marine expertise, both in the PLA and amongst the operators of vessels and terminals on the river, to turn plans and visions into reality. This Handbook gives an insight into the services and capabilities on offer on the river.

  • Modern Greek Dialects
    <LINK "tru-n*">"tru-r22">"tru-r14"> <TARGET "tru" DOCINFO AUTHOR "Peter Trudgill"TITLE "Modern Greek dialects"SUBJECT "JGL, Volume 4"KEYWORDS "Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography"SIZE HEIGHT "220"WIDTH "150"VOFFSET "4"> Modern Greek dialects A preliminary classification* Peter Trudgill Fribourg University Although there are many works on individual Modern Greek dialects, there are very few overall descriptions, classifications, or cartographical represen- tations of Greek dialects available in the literature. This paper discusses some possible reasons for these lacunae, having to do with dialect methodology, and Greek history and geography. It then moves on to employ the work of Kontossopoulos and Newton in an attempt to arrive at a more detailed classification of Greek dialects than has hitherto been attempted, using a small number of phonological criteria, and to provide a map, based on this classification, of the overall geographical configuration of Greek dialects. Keywords: Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography 1. Introduction Tzitzilis (2000, 2001) divides the history of the study of Greek dialects into three chronological phases. First, there was work on individual dialects with a historical linguistic orientation focussing mainly on phonological features. (We can note that some of this early work, such as that by Psicharis and Hadzidakis, was from time to time coloured by linguistic-ideological preferences related to the diglossic situation.) The second period saw the development of structural dialectology focussing not only on phonology but also on the lexicon. Thirdly, he cites the move into generative dialectology signalled by Newton’s pioneering book (1972). As also pointed out by Sifianou (Forthcoming), however, Tzitzilis indicates that there has been very little research on social variation (Sella 1994 is essentially a discussion of registers and argots only), or on syntax, and no linguistic atlases at all except for the one produced for Crete by Kontossopoulos (1988).

In 1991, the City of Nantes had bought this grain carrier from a Spanish ship-owner. She was then called Gera. The freighter was renamed Melquiades-Ville de Nantes and converted into a floating stage. Melquiades, the gypsy prophet, is a key character from the novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The former grain vessel was used to stage performances from four companies: Philippe Decouflé, Philippe Genty, Mano Negra and Royal de Luxe.

  • Flexibility Vs. Specialisation in Ro-Ro Shipping in the South Baltic Sea
    TRANSPORT ISSN 1648-4142 print / ISSN 1648-3480 online 2012 Volume 27(3): 250–262 doi:10.3846/16484142.2012.719544 FLEXIBILITY VS. SPECIALISATION IN RO-RO SHIPPING IN THE SOUTH BALTIC SEA Johan Woxenius Dept of Business Administration, School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg, Box 610, SE-405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] Submitted 11 March 2011; accepted 4 July 2011 Abstract. The trade-off between flexibility and specialisation implies delicate tasks for transport system design- ers and marketing managers. The outcome of their efforts ranges from highly specialised solutions for a restricted number of users and types of cargoes to very open systems for common use adapted to accommodate a wide variety of transport demands. The purpose of this article is to adapt theories on openness and trade-offs, characterise a selec- tion of flexible and specialised European short sea shipping concepts and analyse how substantial changes in the future character of the competition with road and rail can affect the development of ro-ro shipping in the South Baltic Sea. A matrix with commercial openness and technological openness on the axes is used for categorising sub-segments in the empirical context of the South Baltic Sea. Foreseeable changes in key cost and competition parameters until 2020 are taken into account in discussing potential scenarios.
