Port of the Week: Moldauhafen (Czechia) 🌍🚢 Did you know Czechia owns a small port area in Hamburg called Moldauhafen? The name "Moldau" comes from Czechia’s longest river, the Vltava (known as Moldau in German). Covering about 30,000 square meters, Moldauhafen has been a vital gateway for Czech trade since it was granted under the Treaty of Versailles in 1929. This agreement gave landlocked Czechoslovakia direct access to global markets via the Elbe River. Although its usage has declined due to modern transportation options, it still holds symbolic importance. The 99-year lease expires in 2028, and without a new agreement, Czechia could lose its direct access to a seaport. Let’s see what happens next with Moldauhafen...

Did you know that the port of Turku was already known even in the Mediterranean countries in the 12th century? For that we are to thank the Arab Al-Idris who drew the port under the name Abuwa in his map in 1154. This year will therefore be 870 years since the first proven appearance of the port on maps. During the anniversary year, we take a peek into the past with the help of old photos. Let's move on to the 1960s, when car imports through Turku rose to a new level. When in the years 1945-1964 just over 51,000 cars were brought through Turku, imports increased to 53,000 annually by the end of the 1960s. The founding of the free warehouse of Turku in the 60's was partly due to the growth of car imports. #history #throwbackthursday

In Estonian maritime affairs, there are indeed interesting times – on one hand, there are several challenges arising from the economic environment, and on the other hand, there are future projects with great potential. Port of Tallinn, in cooperation with the Kliimaministeerium / Ministry of Climate of Estonia, German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (AHK) and HHLA TK Estonia AS, organized an upbeat and inspiring Maritime and Logistics Day on April 30th at Port of Muuga, where the current state and future of the industry were discussed by: 🔵 Minister of Climate - Kristen Michal 🔵 Deputy Secretary General for Maritime and Water Affairs - Kaupo Läänerand 🔵 CEO of the FERNRIDE - Martin Isik 🔵 CEO of the Finnish Ports Association - Suomen Satamat ry - Piia Karjalainen 🔵 CEO of HHLA TK Estonia - Riia Sillave 🔵 CEO of Rail Baltic Estonia - Anvar Salomets 🔵 Member of the Management Board of Port of Tallinn - Margus Vihman My main observations and thoughts, which I took away from the visionary day from the engaging presenters: 🔵⚫⚪ Estonia is too small for everyone to do their own thing. To achieve a better future, we need to stick together. Companies in the logistics sector, regardless of the mode of transport and business focus, are participants in a comprehensive supply chain, and together, we can deal with challenges affecting the sector. 🔵⚫⚪ Digitalization and automation. It's nice to see that the future is here. There's an air of innovation at Muuga Port. I personally became convinced. There is an extremely great potential for future customers (including Rail Baltica freight owners) and a breeding ground for technology companies. Our strength lies in an open mindset and less bureaucracy compared to old Europe. 🔵⚫⚪Everyone is waiting for Rail Baltica, and the logistics sector is ready to organize our construction logistics. Before the tracks reach Muuga, a complex logistical operation is needed to ensure that construction materials reach the construction site sustainably, safely, and environmentally friendly. Separately, I would like to thank Andres Uusoja, who moderated the entire day and organized a inspiring tour. The show must go on! #RailBaltic #RailBalticEstonia #tulevikonrongs
