Truck Driver Day

Professional truck drivers are honored and celebrated today with Truck Driver Day. In the United States, a driver is considered to be a truck driver when their vehicle has a gross vehicle weight—the weight of the vehicle loaded—of at least 26,000 pounds. They must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) to drive a vehicle of this weight. Employers often require their drivers to take a safety training program, and some also require a high school degree or GED.

Truck drivers carry all kinds of freight—livestock, food, canned goods, liquids, packages, and vehicles—all across the United States and the world. They often have to load and unload their freight and must inspect their trucks before taking to the road. Truck drivers often ship products to stores, and some may have to undertake sales duties. Many truck drivers work long hours. Some may have daily local routes that keep them close to home, while others may have routes and schedules that often change, and many have to be away from home for an extended amount of time.

Some trucks were on the road in the United States prior to World War I. Trucks continued to be used and developed during the war, and by 1920 there were more than a million trucks on the roads of America. Trucking continued to expand over the following decade, on account of advancements such as the introduction of the diesel engine, improved rural roads, the introduction of power brakes and steering, and the standardization of truck and trailer sizes. In the 1930s, a number of trucking regulations were implemented, and the American Trucking Association was created. Trucking activity increased in the 1950s and '60s, in large part because of the creation of the Interstate Highway System. Regulations on the weight of trucks continued to be updated.

The heyday of the truck driver came in the 1960s and '70s. At the time, a wide swath of the public viewed truck drivers as modern-day cowboys or outlaws. The rise of "trucker culture" was signaled with the proliferation of trucker songs and films, the wearing of plaid shirts and trucker hats by the public, and the wide use of CB radios and CB slang. The romanticization of trucker culture subsided by the dawn of the 1980s.

Many truckers went on strike during the energy crises of 1973 and 1979, after the cost of fuel rose. The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 partially deregulated the industry. As a result, many new trucking companies were started. Trucker union membership also drastically declined, leading to lower pay. But the deregulation did reduce consumer costs, and it increased production and competition in the trucking industry. By the twenty-first century, trucking dominated the freight industry. In 2006, there were 26 million trucks on America's roads, which hauled about 70 percent of the country's freight. Truckers continue to play a prominent role in keeping the wheels of the economy turning, and for the hard work they put in to make this happen, they are honored and celebrated today!

How to Observe Truck Driver Day

Some ideas of ways the day could be spent include:

If you are a truck driver, get out there and drive! Or, take the day off. It should be up to you!

Wave to truckers or make a gesture like you are pulling a truck horn in an attempt to get them to honk their horns.

Thank a truck driver. Tell them thanks in person or make a social media post of thanks. Include the hashtag #TruckDriverDay.

Become a truck driver.

Listen to some truck driving songs such as "Convoy" and "Truck Drivin' Man."

Watch some truck driving films such as Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy, and Big Rig.

Talk on a CB radio.

Eat at a truck stop.

Attend or take part in the National Truck Driving Championships, which are held around the time as Truck Driver Day.

Read a book about trucking or truckers such as Trucking Country: The road to America's Wal-Mart Economy or The Long Haul: A Trucker's Tales of Life on the Road.

Explore the websites of organizations and companies related to the industry such as American Trucker, Truckers News, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the American Trucking Associations, and the Women in Trucking Association.

Marine Bollard Market to be at Forefront by 2026

Marine bollard is a simple and cost-effective way suffice marine bollard needs and helps to safely secure vessels alongside jetties, wharves and berths in harbors and ports. Marine bollard helps control the risk of loss-of-position events such as marine bollard line failure, which can lead to failure of the riser and release of hydrocarbons. The necessary recovery plans must be in place in order to manage the loss-of-position event. Marine bollard lines and flexible riser systems have gained significance of late. Marine bollard systems are designed to last for long periods of time (generally 10 years to 30 years) in challenging environments. Every operating area faces major challenges, such as tropical cyclones, accelerated corrosion, and constant fatigue loads, for continuous operations. In order to meet these challenges, guidance regarding marine bollard design needs to be equally strong. Software packages accurately simulate marine bollard loads, components are manufactured with higher strength and fatigue capacities; and design guidance is updated to reflect new failure modes.

Tee head bollard, twin horn bollard, kidney bollards, and pillar bollards are the various types of marine bollards. Tee-head bollards (or 'Tee' bollards) are ideal for handling high line angles on multi-purpose berths. Twin horn bollards is a well-proven design, which facilitates mooring and releases two lines independently. Kidney bollards are available in a wide range of sizes and capacities to suit mooring applications from small marinas and harbor wharves. Pillar bollards are suitable for applications where tidal range variations are large. Marine bollards are employed in jetties, berths, and wharves.

Marine bollard helps in reducing the incidence and magnitude of design-related errors. It also helps in the reduction of fabrication errors. New technological innovations are emerging in order to develop cost-efficient solutions for marine bollards.

The Final, Terrible Voyage of the Nautilus

On May 3, 2 008, a sunny Saturday in Copenhagen, a mob amassed along a dock to watch a 58 -foot submarine be lowered into the sea. Part art project, component engineering achievement, the submarine weighed 40 tons and had been has been established by volunteers at minimal cost from donated iron and other portions. The spectators cheered as the submarine swam for the first time. Peter Madsen, the designer of the vessel and the organisers of the day’s event, climbed into the hatch, smiling in a white skipper’s hat, before the submarine motored into the water.

Madsen christened the ship the UC3 Nautilus , after the fictional submarine in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea . Jules Verne’s antihero Captain Nemo was a figure who lived outside social statutes, sailing the seven seas in search of total freedom. Unlike Nemo, Madsen had stayed close to home in Denmark, but he had devoted his life to constructing audacious vehicles of his own design, ones that might venture high above the atmosphere or down into the depths of the ocean.

Shortly after the launch of the Nautilus , Madsen started another undertaking. He and a former NASA contractor named Kristian von Bengtson cofounded a company called Copenhagen Suborbitals. Their programme was to launch the first manned built-from-scratch rocket. The two set up shop on Refshaleoen, a zone of the city that extends into Copenhagen’s harbor and once had been the heart of Denmark’s shipping empire. That industry’s wane “d left” empty warehouses and mills, which had been reclaimed by artists, engineers, and other creative characters. Madsen and von Bengtson were among them, occupying a hangar, and financing Copenhagen Suborbitals with crowdfunded donations. It was, von Bengtson wrote in 2011 on a WIRED blog he started that year about the rocket build, “the ultimate DIY project.”

The programmes made Madsen a kind of antiestablishment celebrity in Denmark. “You had a sense that he was doing something different. It was something bigger. It was something worth being part of, ” Robert Fox, a filmmaker who made a 2009 documentary about Madsen called My Private Submarine , told me. A biography of Madsen was published some years later. Madsen parlayed this fame into speaking engagements.

In 2016, another filmmaker released a documentary called Amateurs in Space , about Madsen and von Bengtson and their efforts to build a rocket. To watch the cinema is to see the men’s relationship fall apart. In June 2014, Madsen opened a new workshop of his own, Rocket Madsen Space Lab, in a hangar across the paved lot from Copenhagen Suborbitals.

In March 2017, a freelance columnist named Kim Wall learned about the rival rocket manufacturers. Wall had been raised in a Swedish township called Trelleborg, simply 40 miles from Copenhagen. She had left home for schooling in Malmo, Sweden, then London, Paris, and eventually New York, which she was calling home for a while. She was in Refshaleoen visiting her collaborator, Ole Stobbe, a Danish designer who had just moved there. The two were walking around one afternoon, past the vestigial houses of the old shipyards, when they came in all the regions of the rocket-building workshops.

In the four years Wall had been a reporter, she had traveled to Haiti to write about practitioners of voodoo; to Sri Lanka to document the tourism on former battlefields of the long civil war; to Cuba to follow the underground network of people delivering TV proves and internet culture. Wall was fascinated with what she called “the undercurrents of rebellion.” Here was just such a tale simply minutes from where she was staying.

Wall reached out to various publications, and had email exchanges with editors at WIRED, working towards getting an assignment to write about the rocket builders. She and Stobbe had also decided to move to Beijing together, and their departure date was approaching. She had interviewed one of the builders at Copenhagen Suborbitals and was hoping to speak with Madsen, but she hadn’t will reach him. She had only a few periods left in town.

Wall got the text she had been waiting for: Madsen was inviting her to tea.

On August 10, a Thursday, Wall and Stobbe were preparing to hurl a goodbye party. In the late afternoon, just as they were setting up for a barbecue on the quay along the water in Refshaleoen, Wall got the text she had been waiting for: Madsen was inviting her for tea at his workshop. Madsen’s hangar was not far, so she set off. About half an hour later, she returned to let Stobbe know that Madsen had submit a report to take her out on his submarine. She decided to forgoes her own goodbye party for the interview. She asked Stobbe if he wanted to come. Stobbe was “insanely close to saying yes, ” he told me, had it not been for the group he had assembled. Because she was going out to sea, Stobbe committed Wall a bigger kiss than he would have had she gone out for, say, ice or lemons. Wall promised to be back in a few hours.

Just before boarding the submarine around 7 pm, Wall texted Stobbe a photo of the Nautilus . A little later, she mailed a photo of windmills in the water, and then another of herself at the steering wheel. A while afterwards, Stobbe was tending to a quayside burn when a friend told him to look up. He watched the fix sunlight and Wall aboard the submarine in the distance, waving toward him.

By most public accounts, Madsen was a charismatic rebel. He had a weathered face with the prominent features of a plaything troll. His habitual uniform was coveralls and hiking boots. Fox, the filmmaker, calls him a “modern-day Clumsy Hans, ” for the apparently dimwitted suitor in the Hans Christian Andersen fairy-tale who wins the princess’s favor over his more intelligent brethren. Wall was in the early stages of her reporting, and she would not be aware of this much more about Madsen than what had already been published. It was only later, after everything that happened, that the details of his private life would become important.

Refshaleoen had once been the heart of Denmark’s shipping empire.

Madsen was born in 1971 and grew up in a small town south of Copenhagen. His mom, Annie, was more than three decades younger than Madsen’s father, Carl–a pub owner. She had three boys from two previous wedlocks, and the union with Carl did not last long. Madsen was six when his mothers split up. Annie moved out with her other sons while Madsen remained with his aging father.

According to Madsen’s biography, writes to Thomas Djursing, Carl was a brutal boy who beat his stepsons, though not Madsen. It was Carl who stoked his son’s fascination with rockets, telling him , among other things, about a human who would become a hero to Madsen: Wernher von Braun, the Nazi aerospace engineer who later came to the US and helped develop the Apollo missions. Carl died when Madsen was 18, and for the next few years, Madsen ricocheted around, starting several degrees and apprenticeships–in welding, refrigeration, and engineering–before falling out of each.

As a adolescent, Madsen detected the Danish Amateur Rocket Club but was eventually kicked out because he wanted to use fuels that others in the group seemed weren’t safe. He invested his twenties and thirties organizing their own lives around the building of submarines and rockets. He often slept at the workshop where he built things.

Madsen’s obsession with submarines and rockets was all-consuming, but not to the exclusion of sex. I get in contact with Camilla Ledegaard Svendsen, an age-old friend of his, through Facebook. She told me that Madsen became a regular at sex fetish parties. These were a place of community, she said, “where everyone was relaxed about everything, including their bodies, ” and where women felt safe. He also availed himself of Travelgirls.com, a website that advertises meeting “thousands of adventurous girls who want to travel.” Deirdre King, who was Madsen’s close friend for more than a decade, told me he could be doting. “I broke both of my hands once, and Peter came by every day for two months and brushed my hair, ” she told me. “He is a man who loves women.”

Fox, who spent 100 periods with Madsen and his crew while attaining My Private Submarine , said that “women discovered him fascinating” and that the Nautilus sometimes played important roles in his seduction strategies. “’This is my submarine. You want to see my submarine? ’ He kind of used to draw that off a lot, ” Fox recalled.

After he split from Copenhagen Suborbitals, Madsen moved his rocket-making workshop simply across the lot.

The goodbye party continued into the night that Thursday in August and finally moved to a nearby bar. When Wall still had not returned, Stobbe began to worry. The couple was supposed to leave for a wedding early in the morning, and it was unlike Wall to not stay in touch. Stobbe waited for his partner by the wharf. Then he went back to his room, tried to sleep, get up, grabbed his bicycle, and ride around the island in search of her. Around 1:45 am he called the police; a half hour later he called the navy. Wall was missing.

Just before 4 am, the police were notified of a possible accident by the local maritime rescue middle. Soon after, helicopters and ships began searching the water around Copenhagen. At 10:30 am, the Nautilus was spotted near a lighthouse in Koge Bay, near a desolate stretch of coastline southwest of Refshaleoen. According to a local news report, at 11 am a man out on his craft helping with the search discover Madsen in the submarine tower. He read Madsen go down the hatch, then reemerge as the sub began to sink.

Madsen then began swimming toward a nearby motor craft, where he was pulled out and turned back to land. By now, newsrooms had learned about the search for a missing submarine. Upon Madsen’s rescue, reporters headed to the dock. When he stepped ashore, a reporter called out to Madsen, asking if everything was OK. Madsen turned around and committed the reporter a thumbs-up. He said he was fine but sad because his Nautilus had dropped. There had been a defect on the ballast tank, he said.

Stobbe was at the dock where the press had amassed that morning as Madsen devoted his thumbs-up. He knew that something was off and braced for the worst. Still, he wasn’t prepared for what was to come. Afterwards that day the police put under a statement saying that Madsen had told them that he had dropped off Wall on the tip-off of small island developing. The police clearly did not believe him; they arrested him and accused him with involuntary manslaughter “for having killed in an unknown route and in an unknown place Kim Isabel Fredrika Wall of Sweden sometime after Thursday 5 pm. ”

The next day, a Saturday, Madsen appeared in courtroom at a closed-door conference. He hadn’t dropped Wall off on the island; she died in road traffic accidents onboard the submarine, he said. His tale was changing. A hatch had fallen on her psyche, and he panicked, he would claim. He said he dragged her body out of the submarine by a rope and “buried her at sea.”

On August 21, a cyclist journeying along on Amager Island , not far from where the submarine drop, came across a torso that had washed ashore. The next day, DNA analysis confirmed that the torso is accountable to Wall. On September 5, a court approved the prosecutor’s request to change the charge against Madsen to manslaughter. An autopsy afterwards revealed that she had been stabbed 15 hours in and around her vagina. Then, one month afterwards, divers procured her psyche, attire, and a knife in plastic bags, in the seas not far from where her torso was discovered. They also detected both her legs, tied to pieces of metal. Despite these breakthroughs, Madsen stayed to his tale: Wall had made her chief and succumbed, and he disposed of her body, but he denied killing her or dismembering her. Even after divers acquired a watch that might have been used to dismember Wall’s body, even after the police searched Madsen’s computer and discovered videos that appeared to show females being strangled, beheaded, and tortured–he stay to his story.

Kim Wall and I were both freelance novelists, both young and female, both reporting from abroad. Our relationship began after we followed one another on Instagram and Facebook. Then, a year or so later, in 2016 we found ourselves in New York. We invested most of the summer sitting across from each other in a glum coffee shop in Williamsburg, working on our laptops. We didn’t yet know where reporting objective and living began. We ensure in one another a companion, but likewise a guide. She was my friend and likewise the closest thing I had to a colleague. When I left for Afghanistan that autumn and she for Denmark and later Cuba, we kept in touch by text, talking each week if not more often.

When I learned that Kim had disappeared, my instinct was to find out everything I could about what happened to her. I could say that I was trying to control grief by examining the source of that sorenes, but that would be reasoning in hindsight. All I knew was that it was painful to think about Kim, and it pained me simply a little less to try to report about Madsen.

In the weeks and then months following Kim’s death, I read local news stories, watched the documentaries about Madsen, and scrolled the posts on the blog he maintained on an engineering website. I went on Madsen’s Facebook page and mailed friend requests to every one of his contacts there. I spoke to dozens of people are attached to Madsen–family members, buffs, collaborators, fans, and childhood friends, many of whom would not let their names to be used for this story. I spoke with lawyers, a forensic pathologist, and an oceanographer. In late September I flew to Copenhagen. I met with members of the police division leading the investigation, but they did not uncover much and did not want to speak on the record. I objective up committing them a statement. They asked about my friendship with Kim, and I told them what kind of person she was and why it wasn’t surprising that, as a columnist, she would have chosen to go with Madsen on the submarine.

On my first afternoon in Copenhagen, I met with Jens Falkenberg at a restaurant on Dag Hammarskjolds Alle, in an affluent part of township. Falkenberg is a 58 -year-old roof salesman. He first heard about Madsen years ago, when he saw a segment about him on television and, by coincidence, gratified him the next day at a diving store. He started volunteering at his workshop and helped build the Nautilus . He told me that the police had been calling, asking about a ascertain that was missing from Madsen’s rocket workshop.

If something did not please Madsen, “he would behave like small children who just lost his toy.”

Falkenberg was like many of the others who volunteered with Madsen, who called himself “a maker of extreme machines.” They expended their weekdays in regular undertakings but were weekend builders. They wanted the feeling of community the workshop made them. At the center of their alternating cosmo where boys constructed submarines and rockets was Madsen himself.

Some volunteers “was talkin about a” Madsen as a generous spirit, the various kinds of guy who would invite a pal who was feeling down “to take part in his little adventures as a means of applauding him up, ” as a friend named Lars put it.

Others reexamined old incidents and behaviours. Madsen could sway between rage and euphoria. One volunteer at Copenhagen Suborbitals told me that if something did not please Madsen, “he would behave like small children who just lost his toy or plummeted his ice cream or something.” When his feeling turned, “most people would know what was going to happen, so they would stay away from him before material started flying.” Volunteers said Madsen threw hammers, screwdrivers, and other tools. One volunteer, who asked to be identified by his initials, S. W ., helped build the Nautilus . He recalled how Madsen would go from being supportive to “pensive, jubilant, irritating, and sarcastic.”

“It’s hard for us to understand what drives a madman, because we are not mad, ” Falkenberg told me. He then described a recurring gag: Madsen would pretend to be a violent Nazi and would mime reaching Falkenberg, saying “Should I punch you in the kidneys? ” or Madsen might joke: “What if I inject battery acid into your veins? ”

There was also a lot of joking around about Nazis in the workshop. Crewmembers called each other by Nazi-inspired names. Madsen was called Kaleun, for Kapitanleutnant, a nod to the 1981 film Das Boot , about a fictional German U-boat unit during World War II, Falkenberg said. When they went out in the sub, the crew spoke German, reciting lines from the film.

Madsen’s fascination with space and rockets and technological sciences could hoodwink you into thinking he was a man of the future; you are able miss the fact that his obsession was rooted in nostalgia. He was enamored with the early Apollo missions in American space exploration. The venerate he held for the Third Reich was hard to detect as it was framed as irreverence, but it was there. “Some of the behavior the Nazi regime worked, they did horrible things and they should be executed and everything. But some of the things they did, it ran, ” the former workshop volunteer told me. “They built the biggest military machine in just four years. They constructed it virtually out of nothing.”

Building something out of nothing was central to Madsen’s philosophy, as was his sentiment that he should be able to play by his own rules and control his own destiny. He seemed down on people for being cautious. He talked about wanting “to be free from authorities” in attaining his submarines. After he left Copenhagen Suborbitals, he continued a blog about the progress at Rocket Madsen Space Lab. In one enter from 2015 he described his team as people who “all know that they are taking part in a Peter Madsen project, just like they would do if it was a von Trier movie … the unqualified impression that Madsens crasy[ sic] dreams tend to become reality … induces these people invest period and money.”

Windmills on the water.

I had been in Copenhagen a week when I moved looking for a woman I knew did not want to talk to me. She was a friend and recent sexual collaborator of Madsen’s. She lived in a converted building in Refshaleoen. One afternoon I walked through its vast hallways until I managed to find her chamber. I knocked on her doorway, and she let me in. I had twisted my ankle on the way over and was limping. She let me sit on her carpet and keep my injured foot elevated while she ate toast. Her eyes seemed heavy with sleep.

We ended up spending the rest of the working day together. She missed a concert; I skipped an appointment. We smoked Bahman cigarettes, an Iranian brand I had brought from Afghanistan. We boozed home-brewed kombucha. Music filtered in from another studio down the dorm, filling the occasional stillnes between us.

Like others I spoke with, she said she was enormously angry at Madsen and felt guilty for what she believed he had done. Her ache about Kim’s death seemed deep and genuine. And like others, she was reaching back into her remembrance of every exchange she had with him in search of clues that might explain this misfortune. She told me that she had either considered or talked to Madsen nearly every day in the weeks leading up to Kim’s death. Then she told me about a particular exchange that was still bothering her.

Wall was early in her job but had already reported narratives from Cuba, Haiti, and the Marshall Islands( above) in 2015.

Some periods before Kim stepped onto the Nautilus , the woman and Madsen were exchanging notes via iMessage. “It was a joke, ” she said, pulling out her phone and scrolling through the white and blue text. Like many people I met in Refshaleoen, this woman was typically resided with an art project of one kind or the other. “Shes been” be very difficult finishing a video, and she’d asked Madsen to motivate her with a threat. The dialogue began as a casual sexual exchange but speedily intensified. She read the texts to me, translating into English as she went.

“He says he has a murder plan ready in the submarine, and I tell him I am not afraid, you have to be more threatening. He talks about the tools he wants to use, and I say,’ Oh it’s not threatening.’ ” The scenario darkened to inviting a friend to the submarine, where they would suddenly change the feeling and begin cutting her up. At the time, the woman didn’t give the exchange much imagine; it was not something she took seriously. After a letup in the backward and forward, she responded by sending him a video of ponies. The minute passed. The police now have the texts.

Kim and I often “was talkin about a” the challenges of reporting while being young, while being a woman. Harassment, come-ons, and our panic of not being tough enough were perennial concerns. This is particularly true on the road leading. During a reporting trip-up to Cuba in 2016, Kim texted me to say that as a strategy against unrelenting harassment, she had devised a “fictional NYC fiance.” The incongruity of the go-to deflecting move being to proclaim attachment to another man was not lost on us.

Lately I have been thinking about a question Kim posed in a series of texts last spring: 3/14/ 17, 7:43 am: Kim Wall : strong> i only have questions 3/14/ 17, 7:43 am: Kim Wall : strong> about organization as a woman 3/14/ 17, 7:43 am: Kim Wall : strong> and if we will ever be free , no matter what we do 3/14/ 17, 7:43 am: Kim Wall : strong>( leaning towards no)

In the working day after she disappeared, I hear people ask questions that betrayed a misunderstanding about reporting–couldn’t she have done the interview over the phone ?– and casual sexism–why was she there alone so late? On nighttimes when I couldn’t sleep, I would end up on internet chat room where specific comments parts filled me with fury: “She is a woman–how could she go alone with a boy she does not know? ” And: “She had skirt and pantyhose–how could she egg on a poor uncle in that way.”

In Afghanistan, where I worked mainly with men, I never wanted to show any sign of weakness or panic. In reporting this story, my editor attained me promise that I wouldn’t set myself in harm’s style. But much of the submission of reports is just that–routinely putting yourself in uncomfortable points. In the four months I spent on this story, I did things that in other circumstances might have seemed foolish. I went on long drives at night with sources. I satisfied strangers on their doorsteps and entered their homes. In stepping onto that submarine, Kim was doing what any reporter onto a good story would have been able to done.

My love for Kim has turned into devotion for her parents and for Ole. I’ve invested time with them in Copenhagen, Trelleborg, and New York when they came for a commemoration for Kim; it was held at Columbia University, where she had received her master’s degrees in journalism and international affairs. We talk online and discuss the fund we are setting up in her name. I want to alleviate their suffering, but I also know that the one thing they genuinely crave is Kim.( They did not wish to be interviewed for this article, and I understood .)

Ole and I speak on the phone, to talk about heartbreak, and what is to be done about it. He is still moving to China. Movement is good, he says.

Wall and Stobbe stayed in a converted building in Refshaleoen.

On October 30, the Copenhagen police reported that Madsen had changed his account of that night in August yet again; he said Kim might have died from carbon monoxide gas poisoning. He likewise admitted to dismembering her body. Three a few weeks later, the police detected an arm in Koge Bay, weighed down with pipes. Eight periods after that, they found another limb. Madsen’s lawyer, Betina Hald Engmark, declined to comment for this story.

I wrote Madsen two letters at Vestre Prison in Copenhagen, where he was being held before trial. I FedExed the first and dropped off the second in a mailbox near the prison. I told him who I was, who Kim had been, my sadness over losing her, and my wish that he would tell me what happened. One afternoon in January, several months after I’d returned to New York, I went to pick up my mail and acquired an envelope with no return address. It was postmarked from Denmark on December 6, 2017, but that didn’t register until after I’d opened it and started scanning the neat, hand-written pages. It was only when I got to the word “submarine” that I realized Madsen had written to me from his detention cell. I remember telling myself to keep breathing as I tried to fold the pages back into the envelope. I did not succeed. The envelope was small-scale and thin and rent in my hands.

When I ultimately forced myself to look at the letters–there were three, dated in September and November–I was struck by their terrifying cliche. He spoke patently about the boredom of prison–he had few visitors and few pastimes besides penning. He described recognizing Terminator 2 in prison and identifying with the specific characteristics played by Linda Hamilton. He explained what he had access to( paper and pencil) and what he didn’t providing access to( nearly everything else ). He also wrote about Kim. He wrote that he thought about Kim every day and that they are able to “feel her feeling somehow.” There was a disturbing friendship to his words, as if he were writing to an age-old friend. He flattered my writing style and extended an invitation to visit. He asked me, “What are you? An explainer trying to understand? A terminator sent to terminate me? … Without exception–whatever you are–you are welcome, I am all yours.” He aimed one of the letters by saying “I will try to get this letter out to you as soon as is practicable, and hope that you will stay in touch as things get easyer[ sic ]. ”

On January 16, the police released the following statement announcing that Madsen was being indicted for homicide that “took place with prior plan and preparation, ” and likewise charged him with “sexual relations other than intercourse of a particularly dangerous nature, as well as for dismemberment.” A week subsequently, the full indictment provided more excruciating details: Madsen had brought onboard “a understood, bayonet, sharpened screwdrivers, straps, zip ties, and pipes.” Madsen had bound, thump, and stabbed Kim before killing her, possibly by choking or cutting her throat, the indictment said. Madsen’s lawyer told The New York Times that she was “puzzled” by the indictment. The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial on March 8, with a judgment anticipated in April. In between is March 23, who had allegedly been Kim’s 31 st birthday.

“What are you? An explainer trying to understand? A terminator sent to terminate me? ”

The case has been deeply unsettling to people in Denmark, a country of five. 7 million people where there were only 54 reported homicides last year. It is hard for Danes to fathom the gruesome discoveries and to imagine that someone as well-known as Madsen could be responsible for them. In December, the Danish publisher Saxo withdrew the first book in a true-crime series about the example, written by Djursing, after it comes down under criticism.

Before my trip to Denmark, I talked on the phone with a humankind who had worked with Madsen off and on for nine years. He was in shock. But he likewise allowed for the possibility of setting up unseen perversion. “Some are walking around with a fantasy like this for perhaps 10 times, ” he said, “and one day they will do this thing.” Madsen had expended his adulthood pushing against the bounds of society, of reason, of the present, of gravitation. Did he think he could get away with committing the ultimate act of brutality? The trial may offer some answers.

On one of my last day in Copenhagen, I returned to Refshaleoen. I stopped by a eatery to ask directions to the building where Kim and Ole had lived. The line cook didn’t know the building, so I asked if he knew where the reporter who had died had lived. He cut me off midsentence as I was explaining how I knew Kim and asked, “Why are you doing this? ”

I didn’t have a ready answer. I said something about how I wanted to know what had happened. But saying this out loud, to this stranger, I knew I could never actually know, could never measure the precise weight of her agony. Trying to find out what happened to Kim, in hopes of seeing meaning in the senselessness of her death, is a selfish act, designed to serve the living. It feels like an act of betrayal.

I still don’t yet know where reporting aims and living begins. All I know is that it hasn’t sink in yet that she is dead. I’m still wishing for a smaller tragedy: that she was kidnapped but will soon be rescued, or injured but healing somewhere, or lost but will find information. I wish for life. I wish for a different story.

En Route to Germany (No. 1)

The harbour has a very strategic position, in the very far south of the Scandinavian peninsula. The first ferry connection to Germany opened in 1897. This was replaced with a train-ferry line to Saßnitz, in 1909 as a part of the line Malmö - Berlin. During the GDR era, a longer car ferry line opened to Travemünde ("modern harbour" of Lübeck), initially as line owned by the Swedish national railways (SJ), but known as TT-Line from 1962. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, several new shipping lines and routes opened. Trelleborg municipality built a joint ferry terminal for all services, known as "Kontinentbron", or "the Continental Bridge". Both Germany and Poland can be reached by ferries from the terminal. As of 2018, the following shipping lines and routes are in operation:

TT-Line

to Klaipėda (Lithuania)

to Travemünde (Germany)

to Rostock (Germany)

to Swinoujscie (Poland)

Stena Line

to Rostock (Germany)

Unity Line

to Swinoujscie (Poland)

Most of the ferry transports are lorries, and this makes Trelleborg's port the largest in Sweden in terms of goods by weight. In 2005, 11 million metric ton of goods passed through the port (along with almost 2 million passengers).

Baltic Sea, Southern Sweden (No. 3)

An arm of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Baltic Sea is enclosed by Sweden and Denmark to the west, Finland to the northeast, and the Baltic countries to the southeast.

It is about 1,600 km (990 mi) long, an average of 193 km (120 mi) wide, and an average of 55 metres (180 ft) deep. The maximum depth is 459 m (1,506 ft) which is on the Swedish side of the center. The surface area is about 349,644 km2 (134,998 sq mi)  and the volume is about 20,000 km3 (4,800 cu mi). The periphery amounts to about 8,000 km (5,000 mi) of coastline.

The Baltic Sea is one of the largest brackish inland seas by area, and occupies a basin (a Zungenbecken) formed by glacial erosion during the last few ice ages.

Countries that border the sea: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden.

Countries lands in the outer drainage basin: Belarus, Czech Republic, Norway, Slovakia, Ukraine.

The Baltic Sea drainage basin is roughly four times the surface area of the sea itself. About 48% of the region is forested, with Sweden and Finland containing the majority of the forest, especially around the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland.

About 20% of the land is used for agriculture and pasture, mainly in Poland and around the edge of the Baltic Proper, in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. About 17% of the basin is unused open land with another 8% of wetlands. Most of the latter are in the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland.

The rest of the land is heavily populated. About 85 million people live in the Baltic drainage basin, 15 million within 10 km (6 mi) of the coast and 29 million within 50 km (31 mi) of the coast. Around 22 million live in population centers of over 250,000. 90% of these are concentrated in the 10 km (6 mi) band around the coast. Of the nations containing all or part of the basin, Poland includes 45% of the 85 million, Russia 12%, Sweden 10% and the others less than 6% each.

Trelleborg Supplies Bespoke Gasket To Protect Museum Ship In Finland

Trelleborg’s marine and infrastructure operation has supplied a specially designed Gina gasket (G110-80) to the floating dry dock which protects the renowned museum ship, Pommern, located in the Mariehamn Maritime Museum in the Åland Islands, Finland. Built in 1903, Pommern is the only four masted steel merchant barque in the world left in its original state. After sailing for over 70 years, the ship has provided the centerpiece to the museum since 1957.

Image Credit: steinias.com

Trelleborg was tasked by EE Engineering, who constructed the dry dock where the ship is now housed, to provide a purpose-built leak-free alternative to a standard D-fender. The option chosen was the Gina gasket. Only one of this type of gasket is required as opposed to several gaskets needed in the D-fender to obtain the same result as the smaller Gina gasket. In addition to this, Trelleborg also supplied its low friction, wear resistant UHMW-PE fender panels, which guide the floating dry dock door into its recess before the Gina gasket is compressed and closes off the dry dock.

Emil Engblom, CEO at EE Engineering, commented: “The Pommern is widely considered a symbol for Mariehamn and its maritime heritage. Therefore, there has been significant investment in the ship’s refurbishment and preservation. Central to that plan is the construction of a dry dock to safely and effectively moor the ship at the western harbor of Mariehamn.

“It was imperative that a manufacturer was specified that could provide a solution, with a proven track record, to successfully seal the dry dock door. Trelleborg approached the challenge head-on and proved to be a very experienced and trustworthy partner.”

Richard Hepworth, President of Trelleborg’s marine and infrastructure operation, commented: “Our custom Gina gasket provided the ideal solution as it ensured a watertight closure, greater tolerance bandwidth and low jacking force due to its various levels of hardness. It also facilitated less fixation materials on the dry dock door and offered a simple, hassle-free installation process.”

To seal the dry dock door, the Gina gasket is made from natural rubber combined with various levels of hardness to accommodate for the variation in hydrostatic pressure and is supplied as a U- frame. The fender panels were faced with Trelleborg’s ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene UHMW-PE, a first choice for this and other heavy duty applications. It combines very low friction with excellent impact strength and a wear resistance superior to that of steel.

Trelleborg Supplies Suite Of Solutions To World’s First Floating LNG Ship-To-Shore System

Trelleborg, the world leader in engineered polymer solutions, today hailed the recent successful test of the Universal Transfer System (UTS) conducted with Connect LNG and Gas Natural Fenosa, as tangible evidence of the new applications that its suite of products for jettyless LNG transfer can unlock in this challenging field.

The UTS transferred LNG from the Skangas-chartered LNG carrier Coral Energy to the onshore terminal at the Norwegian port of Herøya on October 7 and is now in full commercial operation. A ‘plug and play’ solution, the UTS requires no modifications to the LNG carrier – instead, the platform maneuvers offshore to meet a vessel, removing the need for costly and environmentally intensive dedicated small/medium-scale LNG vessel harbor and jetty structures.

Image Credits: trelleborg.com

The system consists of Trelleborg’s Cryoline LNG hoses, attached to a floating platform, which incorporates Trelleborg’s ship-shore link technology and a selection of its marine fender systems.

Vincent Lagarrigue, Director of Trelleborg’s oil and marine operation, commented: “The UTS shows that LNG infrastructure doesn’t need to be bound by the same thinking that underpins transfer solutions for fossil-based energy. Instead, it demonstrates how new ideas are creating the foundations for safe, efficient and convenient infrastructure that can keep pace with the rapid evolution of the LNG market, both as a power source and marine fuel.”

Magnus Eikens, Chief Commercial Officer of Connect LNG, added: “Trelleborg’s expertise in fluid handling and LNG transfer has made it an invaluable partner in this project. The Cryoline LNG hose is an integral part of this solution, thanks to its durability, flexibility, and safety features. What’s more, its ship-shore link technology and marine fender expertise is vital in supporting UTS LNG transfer operations.”

Richard Hepworth, President of Trelleborg’s marine systems operation, said “The UTS is an important forward thinking development. Our Universal Safety Link (USL) and the Sea Guard and Super Cone fenders are used in many LNG applications already. Integrating them into such an innovative solution as this will help ensure the safe, efficient transfer of LNG into markets and locations that would have previously been considered uneconomic. We are proud to be part of a project that promotes the expansion of the LNG value chain.”

José Miguel Moreno, Director at Gas Natural Fenosa, commented: “The innovation demonstrated by Trelleborg and Connect LNG has delivered a game-changing solution for the LNG industry. We now have a market-ready system that opens a world of possibilities in the LNG small and medium scale business thanks to this collaboration.”

The UTS increases the operability of an LNG terminal, as the hose and platform can be retracted when not needed, or when harsh weather conditions would present hazards. The platform-based solution can either function as a standalone unit, or enhance a larger terminal’s ability to handle deliveries to and from a broader range of vessels. Trelleborg service engineers were present during the first commercial LNG transfer of 400m3, and will support further commissioning operations.

A range of Trelleborg technologies make this new model of LNG transfer possible. Cryoline is the first floating hose of its kind to receive the coveted EN1474-2 accreditation, using flexible rubber-bonded hose technology to minimize boil-off and withstand fatigue harsh environmental conditions. Extra safety is provided by an integrated monitoring system using fiber-optic technology.

Trelleborg also supplied its industry-leading USL 8810 to monitor the LNG transfer process. A triple fiber optic, five pin SIGTTO and pneumatic system was supplied to ensure all round flexibility for the platform for any visiting vessel. A triple fiber optic, five pin SIGTTO and pneumatic system was supplied to ensure all round flexibility for the platform for any visiting vessel.

Trelleborg’s Sea Guard fenders were specified for use at the front of the UTS to absorb berthing impact against the larger LNG vessel prior to attachment to the vessel. While to reduce the impact of the tug vessels on the UTS, Trelleborg’s Super Cone (SCN) fenders were specified to enable the tugs to safely push the UTS from shore into position for transfer operations.
