Environment Approaches/Tools

Insular areas have distinct characteristics that implicatedesigning regional policies and local developmentalplanning

Territorial discontinuity has to be mitigated so as to boosteconomic development and productivity

The current systems constrained the free flow of goods

and passengers.

The system was sub-optimal with respect to the subsidiesgiven to companies, observing significant discrepanciesamong different lines and ports

Government Authorities were not using the "RoadEquivalent Tariff (RET) to successfully implement an

improved regional policy

Analysis of the AS-IS vis--vis insularity index, universal serviceprovision, and Road Equivalent Tariff

Comparison and gap analysis with Best Practices from EU andInternational

Traffic Analysis (Demand analysis and forecasting) betweenCephalonia and Mainland GR and between Ithaca and

Mainland GR

Estimation of the subsidy (per annum and per passenger) withand without RET enforcement

Strategic and policy implications assessment from enforcingRET based tarrifs

Implementation of Road Equivalent Tariff for Short Sea Shipping goods andpassenger transfer between Cephalonia / Ithaca insular complex and mainlandGreece

Facilitated and substantiated the need to enforce RET based public subsidies

Demonstrated the need to re-assess the public subsidies scheme considering more factors

Implementing RET based subsidies in all maritime connections of Kefalonia and Ithaca to the mainland and between islands,estimated demand in the range of 13.9 and 11.1 million per year, for fares of 0.06 euro and 0.12 / nm respectively.

Depending on the applied RET, the estimated average annual increase in total passenger traffic is 54.2% for mixed-use lines. Forpurely tourist lines the estimated increase is over 90%.

The economic benefits generated by implementing RET subsidies are estimated over 70 million per year.

Analyzing the implications from LNG usage in SSS


The promotion of short sea shipping aims at providing acommercially and environmentally favourable alternativeto land based freight transport modes.

The air pollution caused by exhaust emissions of coastalships has a detrimental multidimensional effect

Ship operations must balance between low emission zonesand scarce LNG supply

SECA zones is expected to be broadened in order tomitigate the environmental effect of Shipping.

Estimation of energy and carbon efficiency of domesticpassenger shipping in Greece during 2001-2010

Analysis of intensity factors, i.e. consumed energy and carbondioxide emissions per unit of transport work performed

Comparative analysis of shipping operations in similar regions(Global vs European vs Mediterranean)

Demand forecasting and analysis of seasonality patterns tointroduce variable fuelling and emissions indices

Estimation of energy efficiency indices and comparison toOPEX (vis--vis fuel expenditure and overall cost of ownership)

The energy and carbon efficiency of domestic passenger shipping in Greece was on average equal to 0.24 p-km/MJ and 3.125 p-km/kg CO2, respectively.

Policy measures include reduction of the emissions levels by optimizing operations and fuel efficiency The average fuel consumption per unit of transport work performed at times of persisting high bunker prices affects significantly

the financial results and the Level of Service which in turn deteriorates the emissions (vicious cycle)

State aids should aim at increasing capacity versus increasing cost subsidies.

SSS faces many obstacles that decrease efficiency andultimately weaken the SSS image

The EU is committed to effectively promote Motorways ofthe Sea through increasing the outreach to all interestedstakeholders

SPCs are willing to become One-stop administrative shops,however some might lack the necessary effectiveness andoperational knowledge

SPCs have to continue promoting SSS in a regional and in aEuropean context

Assess the European Short Sea Shipping Industry

Understand the role and status of the Short Sea PromotionCentres (SPCs)

Develop a set of Strategic Supports for SPCs

Develop Tactical Supports

Improve operational efficiency of SPCs

Organize a Pan-European marketing campaign to improve theSSS image / branding

PROPS: Promotion Platform for Short Sea Shipping (SSS) andIntermodality

Developed policy recommendations regarding SSS for supportive action to enhance the 14 Actions adopted by EC

Developed a set of networking strategies for SSS stakeholders and SPCs

Developed case studies of optimal solutions to highlight SSS transport options, including an online Academy of Best Practices

Recommended best practice promotional activities

Developed an E-booking Systems Integrator

Identified and optimized SPC core processes

Run training programs and self-assessment tools for the SPCs

Implemented a Pan European marketing campaign for SSS

Objectives/Results


16/1716



Shipping and Port administrative procedures are complexand time-consuming

Paper transactions usually prevail creating inefficiencies

Manual processing of information leads to reducedmonitoring and quality assurance efficiency

Bottlenecks in major ports are apparent and are not dueto the infrastructural capacity

Lack of interoperable information systems for ship, cargo

and compliance management

Analyzed the current situation and mapped the processes

Developed and implemented an online platform thatfacilitated optimized management processes and ease ofaccess

Developed freight track and trace modules (for container andRO-RO traffic) to optimize short sea intermodal corridorcapacity

Identified through a cost benefit analysis the potential of the

new systems

MOS4MOS: Monitoring and Operation Services for Motorways ofthe Sea

Identified a 54% multiplier for every invested in IS/ ICT technologies

Reduced the administrative burden of compliance from over 7 hours per ship to less than 3 hours per ship

Redesigned and reengineered managerial and compliance processes

Introduced RFID technologies to monitor car traffic, enabling 100% test sampling of cars (for document management)

Developed an online training facility (@ http://www.transportsystems.gr/eclass)

Promoted and marketed the new systems in the local market through focused sectorial media and increased awareness
