  2. CONTENT PORT OF AMSTERDAM • Environmental Challenges Facing Ports • Port environmental management • Examples CONCLUSIONS

  3. 1000 km 1000 km EXAMPLE: PORTS OF NORTH WEST EUROPE

  4. North West Europe: Hamburg - Le Havre Range 1.053.000.000 tons per year (2006) 1000 km CARGO FLOWS Expected to double in the coming years 3. Hamburg135 Bremen 65 4. Amsterdam84 1.

  5. Trends indicate:limitations in port capacity Amsterdam: • Limitations in Space for Port Expansion • Limitations in Environmental room • Limitations in Accessability (road congestion in Port Cities) • Limtations in Personnel

  6. Port Strategy of AmsterdamTargets for 2020 • Economy and jobs • Environment • Accessability • Attractive port

  7. Innovation Port of Amsterdam

  8. Innovation Port of Amsterdam: in house transhipment No influence of climate Same working conditions as in industry Less packaged material, so less costs Less waste 24 hours operation Environmental friendly # 3 ALL WEATHER TERMINALS

  18. Top 10 Environmental Issues in Ports SOIL POLLUTION

  19. Top 10 Environmental Issues in Ports SOIL POLLUTION

  20. Top 10 Environmental Issues in Ports ENERGY REDUCTION + sources of renewable energy

  21. CONTENT PORT OF AMSTERDAM • Environmental Challenges Facing Ports • Port environmental management • Examples CONCLUSIONS

  22. The view of the European CommissionPorts need environmental control (1) • Ports have to implement more then 40 European environmental laws • Result is positive! • Enormous environmental improvements

  23. Examples of European rules to reduce port environmental effects. No easy task for ports to implement! CITY / HOUSING AREA Integrated Coastal Zone Management Air Quality Directive Water Frame Work Directive Water Frame Work Daughter Directive Motorways of the Sea Maritime Spatial Planning Maritime Green Paper Marpol Industrial Noise Directive Waste Directive Birds and Habitat Directive EC Seaports Policy Security rules Safety rules Environmental Liability Directive PORT and port expansion area Communication on Logistics Action program logistics SEA CANAL

  24. The view of the European CommissionPorts need environmental control (2) Many environmental laws: but……..laws have many negative side effects for ports • Increased environmental risk • Increased port planning risk • Increased financial risk • Unfair port competition: different implementation of laws in different ports: no level playing field How to deal with these effects?

  25. The Answer of Ecoports Foundation: port management system for the laws ánd the side effects Ecoports Foundation Environmental Management Systems for Ports Developed by Ports

  26. What is EcoPorts? (1) A network of colleague environmental experts To exchange experience With good practice environmental solutions In ports and the logistic chain

  28. What is EcoPorts? (2) Aim Environment: competition neutral (level playing field in sustainability) Start First initiatives: 1993. Foundation since 1999 Founding fathers Ports of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Barcelona, British Ports Association, Gdansk, Genua, Gothenburg, Hamburg, Rotterdam. Network 350 environmental specialists of seaports ,inland ports, dry ports, environmental authorities, large industrial companies Training 10 certified trainers, 5 languages Supported by European Seaports Organization European Inland Ports Federation Relations with Environmental Protection Agency (USA) Environment Committee of American Association of Port Authorities United Nations Environmental Program

  29. How is Ecoports helping ports • Exchange of Knowledge from Practice • from port colleagues: exchange of good practice experience • data base: of good environmental practice solutions • National and international workshops • Yearly International Conference: Greenport - Ecoports • Introduction of Environmental Management System in Ports • Port Environmental risk management analysis: the Self Diagnosis Method: SDM • Port Environmental Review System: PERS • Port environmental certificate: the PERS certificate

  30. Port Environmental Management System Certificate(ISO based, audited by independent auditor Lloyds Register) STEP 1. Identify Environmental Priorities and Risks SDM: environmental selfdiagnosis method STEP 2. Find and implement a solution Use the EcoPorts network: seminars, workshops, conference, database STEP 3. Monitor improvements Key performance indicators, yearly report STEP 4. Demonstrate your basic environmental competence PERS (port environmental review system) certificate

  31. Example: Port of Cork (Ireland, Europe) Port of Cork has an Ecoports PERS certificate

  32. Focused strategy to environmental management Improved environmental performance (e.g. energy & waste) Demonstrate commitment to the environment & reduces liability risk Reduce operating costs Port of Cork Environmental Management System EMS Benefits • Provide market advantage • Credibility with clients and partners • Enhance image and reputation • Improve staff morale & commitment • Maintain Positive community relations • Provide a healthier work environment

  33. CONTENT PORT OF AMSTERDAM • Environmental Challenges Facing Ports • Port environmental management • Examples CONCLUSIONS

  34. TOP ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF GOODS TRANSPORT Priority Issue: Air Quality Target: Reduction of CO2 SOx NOx Especially SEA SHIP EMISSIONS

  35. The ChallengeReduction of environmental impact of transport Especially in Congested Port City Regions Solution?

  36. A Solution forReduction of environmental impact of transport Especially in Congested Port City Regions Solution! Stimulate Rail + Inland Barge

  37. Improving Logistics and Environment go together Improved quality of transport logistics Creates also Improved quality of the environment

  38. New Laws introduce Improved Logistic Systems Examples of certification of logistic chains • Security in ports and the chain • Quality of Customs in the logistic chain: Green Lane (AEO) concept Authorised Economic Operator • Food Safety in the logistic chain • Environmental Liability laws Port security CUSTOMS

  39. How to realise solutions? Ports must play an active role!

  40. Active role of Ports Examples new logistic systems Target: Cost effective + Environmentally effective Special priority: Solutions for Road Congestion in Port City Regions

  41. Innovative solutions by Ports • Amsterdam (Seaport, The Netherlands) • AMSbarge: from road to water • Antwerp (Seaport, Belgium) • From road to water: more then 80 Seaport related transhipment points outside Port City region in Canal to Port of Antwerp • Lille (inland port, France) • Municipal waste transport from road to water • Los Angeles (Seaport, USA) • Diesel engines improvement program, trucks and tugs • Rotterdam (Seaport, The Netherlands) • Container assembling area (transferia) outside Port City region (transhipment from truck to ship), ship-shuttles between transferia and Port-City

  42. Example Amsterdam

  43. AMSTERDAM: AMSBARGE: TAKES CARGO OFF THE ROADS By innovative ship, with own container crane Brings 30 tons on 30 metres outside ship Same transhipment tempo as crane on quayside Capacity: 144 TEU Initiated by Port of AmsterdamDeveloped in co-operation Mercurius GroupDraft: min 2 m, max 2.80Length: 86 mWidth: 11.55Cargo: containers (45ft), big bags, palletsNow operated by: MCS Lucassen BV AmsterdamContact: Port of Amsterdam +31205234-510/550www.AMSbarge.com Initiated by Amsterdam Port Authority

  44. Easy Container Transhipment No Or Low Cost of Infrastructure: No quaywall But transhipment Is possible

  45. Port of Amsterdam’s AMSbarge: Taking Cargo Off the Roads Container direct from ship on wall Container direct from ship on trailer

  46. THE FUTURE IN CONGESTED PORT CITY REGIONS CITY RING ROAD AHEAD REGIONAL RING ROAD AHEAD CONTAINER TRANSFER POINT ROAD WATER / RAIL

  47. CONTENT PORT OF AMSTERDAM • Environment: limits to port activities • Port environmental management • Examples CONCLUSIONS

  48. CONCLUSIONS • Environmental Limitations in functioning port ask for a change in port strategy Limitations in • Space for Port Expansion • Environmental room • AccessabilityPersonnel • Port management broadens its scope • from port area to port and the logistic chain • from environment to sustainability • to an active development of sustainable port/chain solutions (where the market does not deliver) • Additional types of management introduced • Capacity Management • Chain Management • Knowledge management • Perception management • Liability Management • Risk management • Stakeholder (cooperation) management
