1 StratMoS Work Package C MoS Development in Hubs and Hinterland “A workshop about WP C activity C-1 and C-2” Joint presentation by WP C – Coordinator: Michael Stie Laugesen and FDT project consultants Lina Trainaviciute and Anthony Caruso FDT – Association of Danish Transport and Logistics Centres Hamburg

2 Programme Short introduction to the WP C activities by Michael Stie Laugesen Activity C-1 presented by Anthony Caruso –Q&A session Short coffee break Activity C-2 presented by Lina Trainaviciute –Q&A session Summing up on the findings

3 Objective of Work Package C To strengthen the role of ports and hinterland facilities in door-to-door transport chains with a view of improving the effectiveness of the intermodal transport chain. To strengthen both the primary and secondary hubs and the logistics facilities by analysing possibilities, constraints and challenges for inland transport operators and associated facilities in form of transport and logistics centres, dry ports, transport infrastructure, etc. in order to stimulate MoS development.

4 Intention of the workshop To inform you about the progress of the WP C work To discuss the ideas and the content of the activities C-1 & C-2 To get inspiration and new inputs from the other WP C partners To structure and coordinate the remaining work under C-1 & C-2 for all partners involved in these activities

5 Analysing complementary ports in a region “Modern seaports have become critical nodes in the complex network of logistical transport chains. Seaports that are unable to present themselves as key partners in the optimization process of the logistics chain to which they belong, or that are unfortunate enough to belong to a non-competitive chain, will become victims of evolutions in the conception of international freight movements” (Meerseman et al, in “Ports as hubs in the logistic chain”, 2005:123) Anthony Caruso Activity C-1

8 Research Question How could Danish [your country] ports be effectively integrated into the European logistical network and how could port cooperation improve the flow of door-to-door transport as per the Motorways of the Sea concept?

9 Sub-questions How can complementarities in relation to port networks create added value? What are some of the constraints and challenges in the logistical network in using seaports? What are some of the benefits and potentials for the various users involved? Which ports have the potential to be successfully integrated into port networks?

18 Development of a MoS integrated Dry Port concept Lina Trainaviciute Activity C-2

Logistical Challenges Lack of space in ports Bottlenecks Environment

Dry Ports as a solution? Questions to be explored in C-2: How can dry ports increase the efficiency in the logistics chain? How can dry ports stimulate MoS services? What can be learned from implemented examples of dry ports? 20

Dry port definition Dry port is a freight terminal situated in the hinterland servicing an industrial/ commercial region connected with one or several ports with rail- or road transport and is offering specialized services between the dry port and the overseas destinations. Normally the dry port is container and multimodal oriented and has all logistics services and facilities, which is needed for shipping and forwarding agents in a port.

22 Dry port concept Principal functions of dry ports: Direct (easy) connection to the port by rail or road; Intermodal connection; and Customs clearance services. Valuable benefits of dry ports: Increase the effectiveness of the transport chain; Help to develop hinterland areas; Provide cheaper extra space; Strengthen multimodal solutions; and Help to minimize traffic bottlenecks.

Hinterland transport with and without dry port 23 Benefits: Less connections to the port; More hinterland access by rail and reduced use of roads; Network of terminals is better organised

Activities’ integration in smooth door-to-door transport chain 24 Sender Transpor- tation mean Port Sea transport Port Dry port Transpor- tation mean Receiver Planning – transport service provider Information exchange– horizontal (at different nodes of the chain) and vertical (between transport providers and transport users) Business processes – cooperation between actors Regulations – the same basis for the whole transport chain

Coslada dry port (Spain) 25 Why was a project initiated? Facilities of over 120,000 m 2 for handling future development of intermodal maritime-rail transport; The port traffic to inland destinations had been carried out by road. The main benefits of DP of Coslada: Connection between the ports of: Bilbao, Barcelona, Valencia, Algeciras and Lisbon  Ports – DP networking First EU inland maritime customs area  Development stimulus of for other terminals Was developed maritime-rail transport from ports to inland destinations  More environmentally friendly traffic

Terminal in Jekabpils (CEAG) (Latvia) The aim of the project: Establish a Gateway to Europe, Russia, CIS, Central Asia and Far East countries Advantages: Connections to 6 nearest Baltic ports Strategic position at the crossroads of main railway lines and roads network  Strategic location Possibility to apply any customs procedure and regime Various supporting services  Terminal users are provided with added value

Structure of the Report 1. Data collection methods 2. Dry port concept Concept Advantages and disadvantages 3. Drivers of dry ports 4. Examples of DPs’ and ports’ networks 5. Creating effective and efficient DPs’ and ports’ networks Creating high quality inside the DP Efficient cooperation between ports and DPs 6. Recommendations

Timeline for Activity C-2 28

29 Questions for partners Are there any best case examples of dry ports in your region? What have the benefits been? (see questions below for inspiration) –Who initiated the implementation of the terminal (port, municipality,..) and why (big freight traffic, better customer services, environmental issues, political issues,...)? –What seaports are they connected with? –What kind of information system do they use? –What services are they providing (transhipment, customs clearance, forwarding, storage, sorting, maintenance of units, storage of dangerous goods, other services..)? Are the listed services made by subcontractors (subcontractor’s name and services)? –What advantages did these dry ports bring since the beginning of their use? –What problems do they face? Are there any barriers in relation to developing the dry port concept, for example, in the cooperation between port authorities, dry port operators and infrastructure managers? How are intermodal services currently used to get goods to and from port areas? Please give examples of the modal split.
