THE Port of Rotterdam has done a preliminary study of inland container movement that shows BCOs, forwarders, barge operators, inland terminals, deep sea terminals and carriers are willing to work to beat inland congestion.
"We now have a clearer picture of the bottlenecks, and that the participants have a better understanding of each party's position," said Port of Rotterdam CEO Allard Castelein.
"Clearly, participants have made progress, but our objective has not been achieved yet. Inland Container Shipping Sector Consultations have possible solutions. Going forward, we now need to put them into practice," he said.
Nineteen Dutch and international parties participated in the four plenary meetings, held since September.
They are APMT, BDB, BDI/DSVK, CBRB, Deltalinqs, EBU, ECT, evofenedex, FENEX/TLN, Royal BLN-Schuttevaer, LINc, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, RWG, SPEDLOGSWISS, SSC, SVS, VRC, VRTO and the Port of Rotterdam Authority.
Mr Castelein said the smooth flow of cargo to the European hinterland is crucial. "Any measure we can take to reduce congestion in the port area is vital," he said.
Results so far have been an improvement in the slot application procedure for inland vessels that plan to load or unload containers at the terminals with records stowed in a port data base.
The port authority has also awarded funding for deep sea terminals, inland shipping companies and inland terminals to work together to combine cargo and transport according to a fixed sailing schedule along major routes between Rotterdam and the hinterland.
The port authority will also support a partnership between HTS Intermodaal, the RWG deep sea terminal RWG and the D3T inland terminal in Duisburg, Germany, to establish a new fixed sailing schedule.
In March, the port authority gave the go-ahead for the construction of the Container Exchange Route while Kramer Group expanded the number of dedicated inland shipping shuttles between its terminal in Eemhaven and the APMT and RWG deep sea container terminals on Maasvlakte.
The port authority said it will continue to invest in Nextlogic, the digital tool that allows barge operators and terminal operators to exchange information relating to the handling of containers.
