  1. Measures to improve co-modality Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference – Working Group on Integrated Maritime Policy Stockholm, 24 March 2011 Riitta Pöntynen SPC Finland SPC Finland

  2. Measures to improve co-modality • Co-modality – intermodality • EU initiatives • Current status • Basic elements • Development needs • Measures - promotion activities • Projects SPC Finland

  3. Co-modality and other transport options Co-modal transport • Use of different modes on their own and in combination in the aim to obtain an optimal and sustainable utilisation of resources Intermodal transport • transporting the cargo door-to-door by using two or more transport modes. • high level of functionality, efficiency and integration between the transport modes • transport unit is usually the same Combined transport • form of intermodal transport • sea, inland waterways and railways supported by road transport door-to-door Multimodal transport • to use at leasttwodifferent transport modes Riitta Pöntynen | SPC Finland

  4. Co-modality in EU transport policy • European Commission Transport White Paper in June 2006 • Each transport mode should be viewed individually, however, it should be integrated better into the transport chain: transport modes complete each other • Sustainable transport and environmental impacts of transport are even more important today • Links between transport modes: ports, logistic centres, inland and dry ports; as well as information flow in the transport chain

  5. EU transport policy to support freight transport Logistics: Keepingfreightmoving Commission Communication and Action Plan on freight logistics 2007 • efficiency, integration and sustainability of freight transport in Europe • co-modality and innovation, simplification, quality and the concept of corridors (green corridors). EU Measures • The Freight Logistics Action Plan • Communication on a European ports policy • A Communication on a freight-oriented rail network • Commission staff working paper "Towards a European maritime transport spacewithoutbarriers” > Blue Belt (2010) • Commission staff working paper on Motorways of the Sea SPC Finland

  6. Recent EU transport policy and co-modality • A new White Paper on Transport is being prepared (2011) • New TEN-T guidelines (2011) • Council Conclusions on the full integration of waterborne transport into the EU transport and logistics chains. The way forward for Short Sea Shipping. December 2010 • Co-modality and logistics: interoperability of Intelligent Transport Systems: between SafeSeaNet, River Information Services, e-Maritime, e-Freight, and e-Customs • TEN-T guidelines, including Motorways of the Sea: integration into European co-modal transport system • Blue Belt SPC Finland

  7. Modal split in EU-27 year 2008 • Road transport and SSS • are the dominant transport • modes in Europe • Lack of statistics • on intermodal transport 1995 Road transport 42,1 % Sea 37,5 % Rail 12,6 % Inlandwaterways 3,6 % Source: EU Energy and Transport in Figures. Statistical Pocket Book 2010 SPC Finland

  8. Transport Statistics in the Baltic Sea Ports • The total amount of cargo handled in the ports surrounding the Baltic Sea was 740.8 million tonnes in 2009; 9.9 % less than in 2008. • Between 2008 and 2009, international exports decreased 3.8 % and imports 17.5 % in the Baltic Sea.

  9. Finnish maritime transport • In 2010, the totalamount of cargotransportedbyseawas93.3 milliontonnes. The number of containerswas1.2 millionTEUs. • Of 50 ports, 10largesthandle 75% of the totalmaritime transport volume Source: Finnish Transport Agency Share of large-sizedunitstransported Import and export millontonnes/ year Development of import and export transports and share of large-sized units transported year 1981-2010 Riitta Pöntynen | SPC Finland

  10. Containers or rolling stock • Vehiclecombinations and • trailers • Fluentpossibility to • combinecargo Containers • Containers 20’, 40’ or 45’ • Reefer containers, thermo-insulated containers and liquid containers • Containers for dangerous goods • Specific containers (e.g. SECU) • Containers can be filled in the port, inland terminal or at an inland factory • Railway • Containers • Swap bodies • Trailers • Maritime transport • Containers • Vehicle combinations and trailers • General cargo is unitized on roll trailers • Train ferry transport Bulk transport Riitta Pöntynen | SPC Finland

  11. Interoperability, infrastructure and corridors • Connection points between modes: ports and terminals • Interoperability of modes • Scheduledtrainconnections • Blocktrains • Ports and terminalsprovideaddedvalueservices • Transit transport services • Development of TEN-T networks • Motorways of the Sea • Green corridors • Infrastructure Riitta Pöntynen | SPC Finland

  12. Development of intelligent transport systems Key barriers to an integratedEuropeanwideeLogisticssystem (KOMODA) • Communication • Diversetechnical, informationsharing and messagingstandards • Insufficient ICT infrastructure for new technologies • Operational • Lack of standardised processes; inadequate knowledge and experience in using ICT; reluctance to integrate ICT in operations (SMEs); the diversity of information systems for different purposes • Legal • National and European policies are not harmonised between modes; different administrative procedures and standards between countries • Economic • Unaffordable costs for SMEs for intrastructure, services, consultancy etc.; uncertainty of commercial success • Security • Security and liability of information to be exchanged; lack of trust in on-line transactions SPC Finland

  13. Simplification and harmonisation • Simplification and harmonisation of administrative and customsprocedures • IntraEU-trade > Single transport area • EuropeanMaritimeSpacewithoutBarriers • ShortseashippingbetweenEU-memberstates’ ports • Authorisedregularlinerservice • BlueBeltpilotproject • SafeSeaNet • Reporting formalities for ships arriving in and/or departing from ports of the Member States (2010/65/EU) • Single windows, electronic reporting > other transport modes • e.g. PortNet in Finland • Port Community Systems SPC Finland

  14. Measures to promote co-modality • Promotion of transport modes • Transport operators, ports, logistic centres and their associations at national or international level • Mode-specific promotion centres > SPCs towards intermodal promotion • Each transport mode has its own specific needs and interests • Transport chain integration and efficiency • Co-ordination and communication of measures SPC Finland

  15. SPC Finland’s promotion activities • Informationdissemination for stakeholders • information on transport sector (business, EU) • transport optionsavailable for users (bestpractices, environment) • website, e-mail newsletters, reports, studies • targetgroups: transport users, transport sector, authorities • Promotion of intermodalco-operation (roundtable) • neutral forum for various transport modes and transport chainoperators • supportingco-operationbetween transport sector and authorities • seminars, workshops and meetings • Advising on EU-financingpossibilities • Marco Polo II programme and TEN-T, in particularMotorways of the Sea • Influencing on decisionmaking • provision of information for decisionmaking • Part of University of Turku Centre for MaritimeStudies • SPC Finland’sExecutiveCommittee SPC Finland
