  14. Process Optimization ... One-Stop-Shopping … Cost Reduction … An other chance for inland water transport… Imbalanced Container Flows? neska intermodal network => the efficient solution!

  15. Container Export Container Import Current situation: RRT Duisburg KCT Krefeld DCH Duesseldorf CTS Cologne

  17. Some information about the river Rhine The first ships travelled on the river Rhine 2000 years agoSince the 17th century bulk cargo is transportedIn our days, the river Rhine is the busiest waterway in the worldThe river Rhine is about 1000 km longThe river Rhine is linked to several other waterways, some of them have been build in the 20th century (“Mittellandkanal”)

  18. How it all began... End of the 1960th container transport by barge started on the river Rhine.CCS was the first liner service along the Rhine in 1976, operating with 52 TEU barges. 1976: 52 TEU barge 1967: 1st. Ctr. in Rotterdam 2003: 400 TEU barge

  19. Fast development • From the beginning of the 1980th the container transport by barge on the river Rhine grew explosivly as also the number of operators • 1980…..60.000 TEU • 1985…..200.000 TEU • 1995…..1.000.000 TEU • 2007…..2.000.000 TEU And many others

  20. Success factors (initial) • Easy acces to major industrial centres via river Rhine • Competitive rates • Balanced volumes import – export • Bundeling of containers to reach the critical mass • Flexibility • Reliability • Safety

  21. Success factors (social and enviromental) Avoiding road congestion Less fuel consumption, less emission

  22. Major areas Many terminals and watersided depots Port of Rotterdam appr.40 Dutch area appr. 25 Lower Rhine appr. 15 Port of Antwerp appr.30 Middle Rhine appr.15 Belgian area appr. 15 Upper Rhine appr. 10

  23. Changing Markets Due to economic growth and globalisation more and more container were shipped to and from Europe. Consequently the waiting- and handling time at the seaports increased. In order to increase flexibility the inland shipping lines started to operate with larger barges. The capacity grew from 192 TEU to 398 TEU. So the stowage could done in separate stacks, in order not to block the operation when one of the planed terminals could not perform on time. So the costs grew, but the time schedules could be held, at least for a while.

  24. Changing Markets In 2004 the capacity problems in the ports became serious. It became more and more difficult to keep the turnaround time of a barge within an economically timeframe because of the long waiting time in the seaports. Where it used to be possible to serve for example Duisburg with one barge twice a week, it became even hard to serve Duisburg once a week. Extra barges had to be chartered in order to keep the sailing frequency. This brought even more ships to the seaports, so the existing problems increased again. The charter rates for barges climbed as never before. In 2007 a congestion surcharge was implemented. This did not solve the problem, but softened the pain.

  25. Future Prospects... Figures from the port of Rotterdam Source: PoR. Personal assumption: Port of Antwerp will have a similar development

  26. The modal split expected in 2035 The port of Rotterdam has committed itself to promote “GREEN” transport modes like barge and rail. Because of this, 5 barge operators began to take a new initiative, in order to improve container handling.

  27. New initiative Development of an IT system based on GPRS Data exchange to get grip on the logistical process Transparent information

  28. The new system: MIS - CoBiVa GPS driven data-warehousing system GEOFENCES 70 ships of 7 operators are equiped with the system, the results are promising

  29. Summary • Basic Success factors to implement container transport by barge • Balanced volumes in import and export to have the ships loaded in each • direction • Highly productive terminals to operate the ships in a fixed time window • Possibility to reach more than one inland terminal with a barge • Industrial centres next to the inland terminals with a good road connection • Fixed schedules • Effictive Waterways • - Possibility to use big barges (waterlevel, bridges, etc.) • - Low water level and top water level must allow • barging through the whole year • Short transit times must be possible • Advantages of container transport by barge • Very safe (nearly no accidents) • Reliable • Low costs • Best environmental balance • Avoiding road congestion

  30. Terminal Alliance – The Advantages Your advantages in numbers: • container terminal area: 456.000 sqm • container storage capacity: 30.000 TEU • intermodal departures: 210 per week oneway • barging: 8 barges withcapacity of 5.800 TEU per week • trucking: 220 trucks / 380 chassis • staff: 320 employees • TEU / year 1.000.000
