The new awards – taking place for the second year – are organised by the magazine, which has celebrated its tenth anniversary of activities. The magazine renamed the former awards named after the hurricane Anatolijus that for six years in turn were handed to the leaders of Lithuanian transport industry.
Last year the journal changed the concept of awards and founded the new signs of respect and recognition, named after windrose, which is known for centuries by the travellers. Windrose, showing the four directions of the world, has always accompanied the caravans and ships of a very-well known Silk Road, maybe a little forgotten Tea, Spices, Sugar roads, Amber and Diamond roads.
Windrose differs from the earlier awards in the fact that it is an international award.
According to four directions of the world or four notches, four grand prises were founded.

Windrose prises were awarded to Lithuanian sailors club Ambersail project Millennium Odyssey, Western Shipyard (Lithuania) and the company BARD Engineering (Germany) project Ship Windlift 1 for the construction of wind power plants at sea, common Project of Lithuanian, Poland and Russian scientists Power and the Project of Lithuanian higher seafarers` school Preparation of seafarers in Lithuania.
This year Windrose for the first time leaves Lithuania and will be handed in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where the magazine has friendship and business relations for already ten years.
The awards will be handed for the merits in the field of logistics.
During the grand ceremony of awards the laureates will be handed original prises, created by the magazine, made in Lithuania out of silver, covered with gold and enamel as well as Diplomas of Respect.
