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%. Smart. Port

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 Smart. Port

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

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 information and data Smart. Port

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 CO 2 reduction program - Continuous improvement of safety on inland waterways - Establishing a committee for inland shipping safety. - Stimulating innovation in inland shipping Smart. Port

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. Smart. Port

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

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 Smart. Port

Inventory bottlenecks inland shipping (2) 2. Information and Management Systems 3 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 Smart. Port

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. Smart. Port

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

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? Smart. Port

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 Smart.

Tasks EUR (1) WP 1. 1. A description of the current container shipping and a problem based on the description of the inland navigation sector WP 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. Smart. Port

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.
