European Maritime Day Stakeholder Conference

The European Commission is holding a stakeholder conference hosted in Gijón by the upcoming Spanish Presidency of the European Union and the Government of the Principality of Asturias, as part of the official calendar of the Presidency. The conference will be held at the City of Culture Laboral. The main theme of the conference will be "Innovation", one of the priorities of the Spanish Presidency. We will thus be able to look at how we foster innovation in policy making for competitiveness, environmental protection, better working conditions and employment as well as for excellence in science.

Corrosion of Historic Ships

The 4 mast barque Pommern in Mariehamn on the Åland Islands has recently undergone a thorough repair on a local shipyard. The work was preceded by a rather agitated debate on riveting versus welding in riveted constructions. Mariehamn still dominated by maritime ventures and cherishing its maritime traditions, is perhaps the only place in the world where the opinion columns of the daily newspapers for months on end debated the pros and cons of methods to preserve a museum ship.
