Synchromodal transport –Optimising the network

Year: 2005 2035

Road: 59% 35%

IWT: 31% 45%

Rail: 10% 20%

Challenges:• Enable growth and handle peaks;• Reduce congestion, pollution etc.;• Utilize the infrastructure better;• Reduce costs.

Synchromodal logistics – Why?

Growth:Maasvlakte II Extension

Peaks:Larger Vessels

New logistics concepts – enablinggrowth and handling peaks

... And 50% of loading capacity during transport is idle

Challenges – reduce congestions

Think green to get (g)old

Challenges – green logistics

Source:

Challenges Reduce external costs of transport

Challenges Utilise the infrastructure better

Challenges -reduce transhipment costs and time

Port-to-door cost per container

Inland vessels reach more destinations over shorter distances. In Belgium, France and the Netherlands more than 30% of theIWT traffic is carried over a distance less than 50km.

Challenges -Reduce transhipment costs and time

Earlier visibility of customer order requirements creates longer horizon for transportation planning resulting in modal shift and thereby lower transport costs.

Success factors –integrated information systems

Better Planning

• ECT issue some 35.000 early notifications to 200 road transport companies / month;

• 60% of outbound containers register in advance;• Less unnecessarily trips;• Reduced driver time at terminal, with Cargo Card: 3/4 hour.• Similar services for barge- and rail operators.

Success factors – integrated information systems

Location of Major Juice Packers

Examples: Orange Waterways-

What is it?Hinterland transport of fruit juicefrom port of Rotterdam to packersin Germany and France.Now: 100% road transport; better if combined with IWT?

Conclusions from pilot project:• Quality and time are OK; • Costs still too high;• More efficient tank cleaning

and more clustering in Fruitport needed.

Examples: Orange Waterways

Flower bulbs

Trees

Flowers, Greenhouse fruit & vegetables

Flowers, plants

Examples: Clustering in Agrologistics

Development Company Greenport Venlo: www.dcgv.nlInvestment company of provincial / local authorities.

Fresh Park Venlo: www.freshparkvenlo.nl• Business park 130 ha.; gateway to Germany.• Growers, Traders, Processors, Packers; Transporters.• Sectors: Meat, Fish, Dairy, Flowers, Vegetables & Fruit. • Near ECT Rail terminal, daily shuttle trains port of Rotterdam.• Near barge terminal, regional airport.

Examples: Greenport Venlo

Rail transport in Europe of containers with plants;Favourable conditions: • Delivery not needed within 14 hours; • Distance >600 kms. from Rotterdam.

Results: 97% on time delivery; 50% CO2 reduction; same product quality; continuous monitoring of location and temp. in container via GPS/GPRS.

Why Inlandlinks?

• Need to have more information on intermodal services and options

• To have better access to intermodal options

• Inlandlinks maps out Rotterdam’s hinterland network and provides information on the package of intermodal services on offer. and facilities.

Synchromodal transport - inlandlinks

Strong points• Flexibility to urgency, traffic, transport availability etc.;• Focus on time and costs; modality is not relevant;• Loading degree in transport could increase.

Requirements• Minimum volumes: 1 block train takes cargo of 40 trucks;• Clustering, corridors; 2-way flows;• Integrated information systems for booking, planning, calc...• Costs & speed transparency for users; • Sufficient planning horizon.

Risks• Reliability: delays when schedules don’t match;• Reduced speed? train & barge are slower than trucks.

Authorities

Who is doing what?• Users organise Orange Waterways, Freshpark, GreenRail;• Providers promote their own networks: Contargo, EGS;• Port Authorities?
