Erasmus Smart Port Rotterdam

1. Erasmus Smart Port Rotterdam The fundamental role of inland shipping for the port of Rotterdam and the involvement of ESPR in the research project IDVV 24 Januari 2012 Prof. Harry Geerlings

2. Structure presentation • The fundamental role of inland shipping for the port of Rotterdam and its problems • ESPR involvement in the project “Impulse Dynamic Traffic Management on Inland Waterways - IDVV” • Discussion

3. 378 million ton : 100 million ton inland shipping 278 million ton international shipping

5. Modal-split targets 1995 – 2003 share inland shipping from 30% to 38%, 2003 – 2008 share inland shipping declined from 38% to 37% 2008 - 2035 growth path in modal-split ambitions: 2020: 41% 2035: 45%.

6. 2008: 1,7 million TEU, 2020: 4,5 million TEU 2033: 8,1 million TEU 2020 growth factor 2,7% per year 2033 growth factor 4,8% per year

9. Interim Conclusion (1) The prospects are promising and there is political support!

10. Dutch policy objectives and ambitions • Sustainable transport • Safe transport • Reliable transport times • Better use of existing infrastructure • Reduction in administrative handling • Improvement of the quality of quality of information and data

11. Policy letter ‘Varen voor een vitale economie’ Ministry of Economic Affairs - Strengthening the competitiveness of the sector.- The realization of a future-proof network of waterways and ports based on a network and logistic chain approach- Achieving the become the cleanest modality - Execute the CO2 reduction program- Continuous improvement of safety on inland waterways - Establishing a committee for inland shipping safety.- Stimulating innovation in inland shipping

12. European policy ambitions • Improving market conditions• Modernisation of the fleet• Development of skilled labour force• Image improvement and awareness raising• Improved infrastructure and ports in 2050 50% of these streams transported via rail or inland.

13. But is it only a succes story? The sector has, for decades now, a poor image and there are serious concerns

14. Inventory bottlenecks inland shipping (1) 1. Infrastructure (waterways, locks, terminals and ships) - Capacity problems in locks - Capacity problems inland connections - No integrated approach to network hinterland - Capacity seaports /congestion on terminals - Availability small vessels - Overcapacity ships - Ffleet development uncertainty - Effects of climate change

15. Inventory bottlenecks inland shipping (2) 2. Information and Management Systems3 Organisation sector and - Unfamiliarity with inland connections - Handling conditions in inland ports - Limited bundling, hopping at terminals - Fragmentation inland: bad position relative to shippers and limited capacity for innovation - Accessibility waterways 24/7

16. Inventory bottlenecks inland shipping (3) 4. Other - Depth (big) ships - Slow developing cleaner engines - Limited support changes to legislation - The waterway is regularly confronted with regulatory changes.

18. Interim Conclusion (2) However there is a big support and good prospects There is a threat that the sector will lacks behind Something needs to be done to make the sector ready for the 21th century

19. Erasmus Smart Port Rotterdam The involvement of ESPR In IDVV Part II

20. Main research question What conditions are necessary for the growing amount of goods reliable, durable and easy to transport? The focus is on the waterways and the container. - What actions are needed to realize these conditions?- How and by whom the actions should be implemented?

23. Project risks Delays in the project because of relatively short duration Poor cooperation from industry because of overload of reearch, crisis or lack of time Too much information to handle Expired in technology-oriented solutions Differences in perception and valuation of solutions

24. Tasks EUR (1) WP 1.1. A description of the current container shipping and a problem based on the description of the inland navigation sectorWP 1.2 A description of a future for the inland navigation sector - Desk research and workshop performance of IWT sector- Data analysis: performance of IWT sector- Multidisciplinary stakeholder and policy analysis of the inland navigation sector- A number of targeted interviews from inside and immediately outside the IWT sector.- Policy Analysis.

25. Tasks EUR (2) WP 1.3 - Identify and appreciate solutions for system renewal WP 1.4 - Design of a transition to a desired future inland shipping sector - maintain and strengthen the international role of main port of Rotterdam; - relieving road transport by water; - thereby improving the quality of life in large parts of the Netherlands.
