• 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.

• Interim Conclusion (1)
• The prospects are promising
• and there is political support!

10

• 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 quality of
  information and data

11

• 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
  CO2 reduction program- Continuous improvement of
  safety on inland waterways
• - Establishing a committee for inland shipping
  safety.- Stimulating innovation in inland
  shipping

12

• 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.

13

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

14

• 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

15

• Inventory bottlenecks inland shipping (2)
• 2. Information and Management Systems3
  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

16

• 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.

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

Erasmus Smart Port Rotterdam
The involvement of ESPR In IDVV Part II
20

• 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?

• 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

24

• Tasks EUR (1)
• WP 1.1. A description of the current container
  shipping and a problem based on the description
  of the inland navigation sectorWP 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.

25

• 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.
