artists the austrian museum of applied arts’ exhibition was part of a commercial collaboration with the artist kurt ohnsorg it was held at a time when the profession of a designer did not exist this

LOG IN You’ve reached your limit of content for the month Register for free now The Rohrdorfer Group of Companies is using the new RockTainer SAND railcars from Austria's ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) the leading rail logistics provider in Europe to deliver limestone from the Ebensee quarry to the Gmunden cement plant The special transport wagons were developed by RCG in cooperation with the Rohrdorfer Group of Companies and Innofreight an Austrian freight transport and logistics company in order to be able to transport more cargo with fewer trips so-called InnoWagons with 40 RockTainer SAND containers have been used on the Ebensee-Gmunden route around 450 000 t of limestone are transported in this traffic per transport period That is 36 000 truck rides that can be saved every year thanks to the environmentally friendly railroad and the innovative equipment Key features of the new development are a higher payload capacity and very efficient unloading technology The RockTainer SAND can now transport 804 t of raw materials per train instead of the previous 630 t Each InnoWagon can carry a maximum of 134 t of cargo This saves a total of 160 train trips per year Thanks to the new design of the carrying wagons the trains also run particularly quietly and sustainably The flaps are also silent during unloading The RockTainer SAND will be transported by new hybrid locomotives from Stern & Hafferl Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH The so-called "Vectron Dual Mode" not only saves 53% of maintenance and energy costs annually when using the overhead line but also several tons of CO2 compared to the diesel locomotive used before The "Vectron Dual Mode" also saves time during shunting thanks to fast traction changes between electric and diesel operation ÖBB Rail Cargo Group and Rohrdorfer have already been working together successfully for 30 years the transports for the main plant in Rohrdorf were switched to the innovative wagon equipment Since 2020 RCG has taken over the entire operational raw material supply for the Rohrdorf plant the cooperation was extended to another five years and numerous joint projects were initiated a more intensive transfer of know-how is planned test runs of efficient and innovative transport options – also in combined transport – are to be further intensified Testing with various prototypes has already taken place for this purpose

day with media guests on board prior to tomorrow’s start of the GC32 Austria Cup part of Allianz Traunsee Week presented by BMW While there appeared to be no wind on Lake Traunsee today led by former Star Olympic sailor Stefan Puxkandl moved the three GC32 catamarans down to the southern end of the lake at Ebensee and the area known as ‘Little Garda’ where there always seems to be the most breeze on this picture postcard Austrian lake All the teams got a chance to race with different winners in each of these informal races: Marwin Team of Swiss Star sailor Flavio Marazzi taking the first Laurent Lenne’s Spax Solution Sailing Team claiming the second and their Dutch team mates The Great Cup’s Chief Operating Officer Andrew Macpherson says that the one design aspect of the Martin Fischer-designed 32ft catamarans and the equality of their performance is working: “Over the last few days of test racing we’ve all been lining up and no one seems faster.” For the first time today all the crews and their skippers assembled Austria’s great hope is AEZ GC32 Racing skipper Andreas Hagara who over his lengthy career in the Olympic Tornado catamaran has been World Champion and has won 15 medals at World and European championship level Hagara has also competed in the Extreme Sailing Series and was skipper of the China Team AC45 Hagara is enthusiastic about The Great Cup and the GC32 catamaran: “I think the concept is really good apart from the wing rig [which the GC32 doesn’t have but is fitted to the AC45 and AC72 America’s Cup catamarans] but that is not in line with the idea of the boat – a wing wouldn’t work for private owners.” The Austrian catamaran sailing legend describes the GC32 as a light boat that is “aggressive to sail – it has a lot of square metres on the rig.” However he adds that with the ability to rake the boat’s foils aft so that they lift the bows make the GC32 one of the safest catamarans he has ever sailed but in the lighter conditions expected on the lake it is unlikely there will be enough wind to get the lightweight catamarans fully airborne When competition gets underway tomorrow it will be the first time the brand new GC32s will have ever raced in anger One of the surprise figures in the GC32 fleet is Mikael Lundh best known for having competed in two Volvo Ocean Races aboard Swedish Match and on djuice dragons Lundh is racing on Spax Solution Sailing Team with The Great Cup’s creator They are really powerful and I think they will be easy to handle for owners.” While historically catamarans have had issues tacking People are very surprised coming on board that it just takes off again We had a few tacks yesterday in 8 knots of breeze when we went from lifting a hull and then coming out of a tack straight to lifting a hull again.” Swiss skipper Flavio Marazzi is better known for sailing the stately Olympic Star keelboat A lightweight catamaran capable of 30+ knots downwind and sailing at two to three times wind speed is a very different proposition He has acquired his GC32 because it is versatile “This is a boat designed to be sailed in all conditions including waves and 25 knots I am looking forward to sailing in big breeze but I’m looking forward to the Lake Geneva races as well,” Marazzi adds referring to the Geneve-Rolle-Geneve and Bol d’Or Mirabaud the events next up for the GC32s after this A man who is particularly looking forward to tomorrow’s debut of The Great Cup is the series’ creator Amsterdam-based Frenchman Laurent Lenne One year and four months on from starting this project “The Great Cup should be about great locations great sailing and to create a good culture so that everyone has fun While a race from Gmunden at the northern of the lake down to Ebensee at its southern end and back was scheduled for tomorrow instead this is likely to be postponed until Thursday Instead tomorrow will see the start of the first of the GC32 Austria Cup’s windward-leeward races Racing is set to be streamed live with footage coming back live from two of the three GC32s and other cameras ashore and on the race course This will be broadcast locally on a big screen in Gmunden and is likely to be streamed on line later in the week For further information visit www.thegreatcup.com Check your inbox or spam folder to confirm your subscription Sign up to receive awesome content in your inbox We
