Another important task is to strengthen inter- national cooperation within the philatelic industry. Representing a small postal administration, I consider the chairmanship an acknowledgement of Åland’s achievements in the collecting business for almost 30 years. Acting as pivot for the European postal administrations will be a demanding task; yet, the position offers infi nite opportunities for cultivating new international liaisons. 2–2013 ÅLAND POST LTD STAMPS PO BOX 1100 AX-22111 MARIEHAMN ÅLAND, Finland TELEPHONE E-MAIL ontents From Finland: [email protected] Editorial 2 018 636 641 From abroad: EDITORS News 3 +358 18 636 641 Anita Häggblom Telephone hours: Heidemarie Eriksson Christmas 2013 4 Björn Wennström Mon–Fri 9 am – 4 pm Artifi cial Velvet Scoter 5 In July: Mon–Fri 9 am – 3 pm Cecilia Mattsson There and back 6 FAX TEXT From Finland: Björn Wennström Ships at sea 11 018 636 608 Gunilla Häggblom 100 years of unoffi cial civic theatre 14 From abroad: TRANSLATION +358 18 636 608 Kristine Sund Åland passenger ferries 16 INTERNET Angelic Christmas seals and LAYOUT www.posten.ax decorations 18 Cecilia Mattsson Nordic stamps: 2013 First day covers 20 www.topoftheworld.nu PRODUCTION VISITING ADDRESS Åland Post Ltd 2013 Exhibition cards 21 Flygfältsvägen10 Waasa Graphics 2013 Special cancellations 22 Sviby, Jomala COVER PHOTO Calendar 23 Matilda Saul We reserve the right to change the information contained in this publication. 2 • ÅLANDSPOSTEN FRIMÄRKEN NEWS Åland uctions – online novelty Åland Post launched its own website auction house, Åland Auctions, this autumn.

  • Anläggning, M/S Birka Stockholm
    Examensarbete, Högskolan på Åland, Utbildningsprogrammet för Maskinteknik Genomförbarhetsstudie av ORC- anläggning, M/S Birka Stockholm Simon Ramsay, Antti Tepponen Datum för publicering: 18.05.2016 Handledare: Key Ginman, Göran Henriksson EXAMENSARBETE Högskolan på Åland Utbildningsprogram: Maskinteknik Författare: Simon Ramsay, Antti Tepponen Arbetets namn: Genomförbarhetsstudie av ORC-anläggning, M/S Birka Stockholm Handledare: Key Ginman, Göran Henriksson Uppdragsgivare: Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö Abstrakt Syftet med detta examensarbete är att ta reda på möjligheten att använda en del av tillgänglig spillvärme som finns ombord på M/S Birka Stockholm i de olika fartygssystemen för att producera el med genom installation av en ORC-anläggning. På detta sätt skulle en mindre mängd el behöva produceras med fartygets dieselgeneratorer och bunkerkostnaderna skulle fås ner, samt utsläppen minskar. För att få reda på ifall en installation skulle vara möjlig, har mätningar och beräkningar på mängden värme ombord utförts. Kontakt har tagits med en tillverkare av denna typ av system och fartygets klassällskap har konsulterats ifall det finns några hinder för installationen. Resultaten av undersökningarna är att det sannolikt finns goda förutsättningar för en installation, då en tillräcklig mängd värme finns ombord samt plats för själva maskinen. En återbetalningstid på investeringen har också beräknats, baserat på de rådande förutsättningarna, men för att få en riktigt attraktiv investering borde bunkerpriserna öka från nuvarande nivåer.

    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för Naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Turismvetenskap C | Vårterminen 2014 Rederiers hantering av nya miljökrav - En studie om Birka Cruises, Tallink Silja och Viking Lines arbete med ekonomisk och miljömässig hållbar utveckling. Av: Annika Ahlström, Marianna Moreira de Macedo och Sabrina Fernandes Handledare: Kjell Ljungbo Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine how Viking Line, Tallink Silja and Birka Cruises work with economic and environmental sustainability, and also to see how they work with new environmental legislations. In 2015 a new environmental legislation will be introduced, by the name Sulphur directive. The Sulphur directive entails a reduction in Sulphur dioxide emissions from ships where the emissions cannot exceed 0,1 percent. There are three alternatives to achieve the new environmental legislation, the use of Marine Gas Oil, LNG or scrubbers. All three alternatives will lead to increasing costs for the shipping industry. The three companies exerts its shipping traffic in the Baltic Sea, a sea that is highly sensitive to external impacts. In the study qualitative methods were used, three personal interviews and five telephone interviews. Five theories were used to understand how the companies work, their estimations and their decisions: Strategic Tourism Planning Process, the Triple Bottom Line, the COSO model, The Decision-making Process and Responsible Cruise Tourism. The results of the study show that all three companies are facing an uncertain economic sustainable future and the deciding factors will be technological development, fuel prices and competitiveness. Keywords: Sustainable development, sulphur directive, SECA, The Baltic Sea, shipping, LNG, scrubbers, Marine Gas Oil Sammanfattning Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur Viking Line, Tallink Silja och Birka Cruises arbetar med ekonomisk och miljömässig hållbar utveckling samt hur de arbetar och hanterar det nya miljökravet som ställts.

Lauritzen _full_article_language: en indien anders: engelse articletitle: 0 96 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 J. Lauritzen In 1884, the consul Ditlev Lauritzen (1859-1935) moved from his hometown Ribe in Western Denmark to Esbjerg to start the company J. Lauritzen1. The company was named after Ditlev’s father since Ditlev was under 25 years old and not of age to start a business. He started an import business with wood, coal and fodder. He began with chartered ships for his imports but bought a few ships in late 1880s and could call himself a ship-owner. In 1895, the newly started shipowning company Vesterhavet, had a fleet of three ships. The fleet grew remarkably, and merely five years later, another seven ships had been added to the fleet. Lauritzen was both a shipowner and a shipbroker until 1918 when he closed down his shipbroking office. Apart from shipping, many of Lauritzen’s businesses were onshore. The Ditlev Lauritzen as portrayed by re- searcher Ole Lange is a truly dynamic entrepreneur, constantly on the move, catching new opportunities wherever they would arise. But it was the shipping business that was the core, and more precisely the transportation of coal, wood and cotton. By the end of 1914, the fleet comprised 26 ships. At about that time, the headquarters moved to Copenhagen. Sometimes Lauritzen’s ships carried fruit as a backhaul cargo – the first shipment of oranges was from the Spanish Mediterranean coast to England in a conventional general cargo vessel in 1905.
