Maritime Research Website
The UKs National Maritime Museum has launched the Journal for Maritime Research (JMR), the first fully refereed electronic journal in the field of maritime studies. The JMRs purpose is to encourage research into the social, cultural and environmental contexts of maritime studies, both historical and contemporary.
BMT estimates that road, rail and sea transport flows between the Nordic countries and the European Continent will increase by 50 to 70% over the next decade. This substantial increase will be partly the result of the entry of ten new member states into the European Union in May, the majority of which are situated in Eastern Europe.
Electronic publication facilitates the creative use of images, footnotes and graphs. Articles are hot-linked to relevant websites through PORT, the maritime information gateway.
