• Assignment• The “new” idea

• Elaboration on concept in different Parts

I. Exploration & scopingII. Analysis of current practicesIII. DesignIV. Business case

• Conclusions & recommendations• Discussion

The “New” Idea

Direct travel from inland to overseas destination

Positive effects• No intermediate transshipment in a seaport

• Decrease in time and costs

Negative effects• Non optimal solution for transport equipment

• Increase in costs per kilometre• Capacity and service

River Sea Shipping

Design

• 4 concepts• 5 dimension variations for each concept

• Capacity between 546 and 1092 vehicles

• Operational costs are based on fuel consumption • Fixed costs like labour, capital and maintenance from
