Past, Present, New Challenges. The dynamic changes in the socio-economic environment of maritime transport encourage the continuing and deepening of the discussion commenced five years ago. The first part of the journal has been devoted to the problems of the shipping market, with particular emphasis on the Baltic Sea Region. The development of land transport connections as an alternative to ferry connections as well as the 2015 entry into force of the Sulphur Directive has significantly impacted the ope- rating conditions of shipowners, including, in particular, the ferry operators in the Baltic Sea. These conditions had an impact on shipowners’ decisions concerning the development of the maritime fleet, including the applied solutions related to the fuel used for ships. This part of the journal has also demonstrated a very topical issue – a handling of perishable cargo in sea ports. The second part of the journal presents issues of the sea ports, with particular emphasis on problems of their functional transformation. These transformations occur both within the sector of basic services (handling and storage services) and within other economic functions of seaports. Some of these transformations have an inter-functional character. The changes do not act evenly over individual ports or individual cargo-handling companies. In the third part of the journal the selected, current issues relating to the fun- ctioning of these transport branches that can compete (air transport), or cooperate (inland shipping) with maritime transport have been presented This part of the journal has also been devoted to the issue of seaport hinterland. In the presented articles, particular attention has been paid to the socio-economic changes which follow in Belarus, an attractive hinterland for sea ports of the Southeastern Baltic Sea. We hope that the articles collected in the publication will form the basis for the development of the further research in this area. Michał Pluciński, Marta Mańkowska ThE ShiPPiNg mARKET zeszyty naukowe uniwersytetu szczecińskiego nr 884 ekonomiczne problemy usług nr 119 2015 DOI: 10.18276/epu.2015.119-01 izabela Kotowska ThE iNfLuENcE of SuLPhuR diREcTivE oN ThE fERRy mARKET. ŚWiNouJŚciE-ySTAd/ TRELLEBoRg fERRy LiNES – A cASE STudy Abstract Transport is a sector of economy that largely contributes to the growth of global pollution. A vast majority of harmful substances emitted as a result of transport activities comes from the road transport means. However, maritime transport, due to high sulphur level in the maritime fuel oil, is mainly responsible for the emission of sulphur oxides. In January 2015 European Union implemented Directive 2012/33/EU requiring a cut in sulphur emissions from vessels, by using low sulphur fuels or installing scrubbers on ships. The implementation of Sulphur Directive has led to an increase in shipowners operating costs and can cause a reduction in sea traffic. The study aims to show how the implementation of the new requirements of the sulphur content in maritime fuel oil in SECA has affected the activities of ferry companies. The research has been based on an analysis of the traffic and freight costs of ferry shipping market in the first half of 2015. The article presents the results of the case study of Świnoujście-Ystad/Trelleborg ferry routes. It demonstrates that the restrictions of sulphur content in maritime fuel oil neither result in a reduction of traffic, nor necessitate reorganization of transport chains.

We make it fly. airbus.com Editorial Europe Needs More Pragmatism The elections to the European Parliament in May were beset with more paradoxes than they have ever been. The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

  • Shipbuilding
    Shipbuilding A promising rst half, an uncertain second one 2018 started briskly in the wake of 2017. In the rst half of the year, newbuilding orders were placed at a rate of about 10m dwt per month. However the pace dropped in the second half, as owners grappled with a rise in newbuilding prices and growing uncertainty over the IMO 2020 deadline. Regardless, newbuilding orders rose to 95.5m dwt in 2018 versus 83.1m dwt in 2017. Demand for bulkers, container carriers and specialised ships increased, while for tankers it receded, re ecting low freight rates and poor sentiment. Thanks to this additional demand, shipbuilders succeeded in raising newbuilding prices by about 10%. This enabled them to pass on some of the additional building costs resulting from higher steel prices, new regulations and increased pressure from marine suppliers, who have also been struggling since 2008.

This ferry has been operating safely and successfully ever since. Over the years that have followed, shipping has seen bunker prices rise sharply and environmental regula- tions tighten, while in the LNG sector there has been a surge in production and deployment of infrastructure. Combined, these trends have set the stage for LNG to emerge as a viable fuel choice on a much larger scale. In 2014 the industry hit a significant milestone with over 120 LNG-fuelled ships in operation or on order worldwide. They range from passenger ferries, Coast Guard ships, containerships and Con-Ro vessels to Dr Gerd-Michael Wuersig tankers and platform supply vessels.

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.
