FUTUREMED (june2012-may2015)

Stands for… Freight and passengers sUpporting infomobiliTy systems for a sUstainable impRovEment of the competitiveness of port-hinterland systems of the MED area

Deals with… Accessibility of ports; integration with the hinterland; development of logistics activities; infomobility; attractiveness and specialization of port systems, relevant supply chains, cruises system

Sept 2012 Introduction to FUTUREMED 2

FUTUREMED

Aims at… Increasing the competitiveness of port systems in the MED area by improving accessibility through technology and procedural innovations, guaranteeing sustainability of transport

Makes use of… concerted territorial actions and pilot projects, sustainable middle&long-term development strategies, involvement of stakeholders, integrated approach to freight, passenger and tourist traffics

Sept 2012 Introduction to FUTUREMED 3

Added value to the MED area

Based on experiences, integrates the actions to meet objectives, in terms of:– geography, focusing on the increased competitiveness of

the Med area as a whole;– transport chain component (foreland - sea ports - inland

ports – hinterland);– intervention area (i.e. process/procedure, ICT, efficiency &

sustainability);– in terms of commercial sector focus (i.e. freight,

passengers, cruise/tourism);– in terms of accessibility bottleneck category (procedural,

informational, physical).

Sept 2012 Introduction to FUTUREMED 4

Expected impacts to the MED area

• Integration of the currently fragmented information on port characteristics, activities and specialisation (governance, services offered, ongoing investments, future plans, statistics, etc)

• Coordination and promotion of common-interest infrastructure development (TEN-T, MoS)

• Increased interaction between port operators, customers (shippers, LSPs) and stakeholders, on improving Med ports accessibility and competitiveness

• Development of synergies among the Med ports

Main output

Sept 2012 Introduction to FUTUREMED 8

Pilot projects• Five pilots at different level:

– nodal within an international transport chain (Spain, using the existing port-hinterland connection),

– at the transport chain level (Adriatic Sea – West MED), – at market level (cruises involving Slovenia and Italy), – at “critical” industry level (agro-food chain in the MED area,

north-south connections); – at technological level (infomobility in the MED area)

• A centralized coordination (CERTH in WP5, common platform), monitoring/evaluation for transferability.

Sept 2012 Introduction to FUTUREMED 9

The Permanent Observatory• Group of stakeholders with relevant skills to follow the

project results, measure their impact, update the output taking into account the changes in the political, regulatory and economic environments and in technologies.

• Open and well networked stakeholders community, providing solutions for critical knowledge exchange and support to policy implementation along with a compliance facilitation platform.

• Formal agreement, sustainability (beyond the project) and services provision have to be designed.
