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

6

Main research plan

• Approach as concept developer looking for investor• Presentation for possible investor

• Research conducted in 4 Parts• Setting the objective• Analyze current environment• Apply “new” idea• Work out financial resource needs

Definition and Break-Down

7

Exploration & scoping

Goals• Investigate and focus on corridor• Investigate and focus on product

Results• Corridor and product for application• Main research question

Goals and results

8

Corridor

River sea shipping demands a river and sea leg to be part of a route.

More precisely: define sea routes with a river leg or vice versa

Within Northern Europe

9

CorridorRivers to be examined

Saone through MarseilleSchelde through AntwerpSeine through Le HavreRhine through Rotterdam

River Rhine chosen based on

• Throughput• Data collection

10

CorridorSea routes to be examined

From mouth of river Rhine• South (France and Iberian peninsula)

• Direct and good rail and road connection• Large detour over water

• North (Scandinavia)• Shipment trough Bremen and Hamburg• Direct road connection

• West (United Kingdom)• Almost all transport via North Sea (Channel Tunnel) • Relative short distance

Product

Characteristics• End product• High value density• Minor to no devaluation during transportation, subjected

to the product life time

Appearances • Containerised• RoRo cargo

Slow moving retail goods

PART III

Operational performance & financial feasibility

PART IV

17

Analysis of current practices

• Investigate current transport flows• Quantities• Production, attraction and transfer locations

• Insight in current transport chains• Modalities

• Preferred transport chain per route based on costs
