Working with the ports and inland

1

• Working with the ports (and inland
• terminals) to achieve sustainable
• transport solutions
• or
• How we develop RAILPORT Scandinavia
• Eric Nilsson, executive vice president, Port of
  Göteborg

The challenge (1)
Do we plan and develop according to the progress?
3
The challenge (2)
Do we plan according to the right statistics?
4
The challange (3)

• Swedish logistics costs amount to 18, average in
  the EU is 12
• Sweden lacks an overall strategy for transports
• The infrastructure holder Banverket, railway
  operators, engaged politicians and Port of
  Göteborg have started acting

Our solution
6
RAILPORT business idea
To develop daily rail-shuttles between ports and
inland terminals in order to strengthen
competitiveness, increase service, reduce
pollution and cost.
7
RAILPORT today

• A joint concept
• 7 ports, 14 inland terminals, 9 rail-operators
  Swedish rail administration in co-operation
• From 2 to 23 daily shuttles in 6 years
• Cost-effective
• Reduced lead-time
• Reduced pollution
• Increased service

8
RAILPORT functions
Minimum 4 shuttles/week
9
RAILPORT network 071231

• gt 25 of Swedish transocean container traffic is
  co-modal
• Volumes have tippled last 6 years
• RAILPORT represents appr. 20 of Swedish cargo
  transported on rail

10
RAILPORT increase service to more people and
create jobs, the Nässjö example

• 1200 people employed in the logistic sector in
  Nässjö
• gt 40 000 TEUs are handled via RAILPORT per yerar
• Daily shuttle to and from Port of Göteborg
• gt220 million have been invested in logistics in
  Nässjö the last 5 years
• Nässjö has only 29 318 inhabitants

Environmental Effect
The comparision is based on transport of 150
000 container units a year and av average
transport distance of 300 kilometres. Source

Why did we succeed?

• Co-operation on all levels
• The Swedish Rail Administration saw the business
  opportunities and reacted accordingly
• Local politicians are very active
• Participating ports saw opportunities instead of
  increasing competitiveness
• Free competition among the rail operators
• Port of Göteborg took the lead already from the
  beginning
