28 A seaport is more than a transit hub A seaport is partner in the total logistics chain Competition with other ports is about logistics and transport networks Customer wants a total supply chain solution

29 Collaboration with hinterland hubs What? Tight collaboration between port and hub in the hinterland Why? Supporting logistics platforms in the natural hinterland of Antwerp (for ex. Liège, Genk, Venlo, Duisburg, etc.) Improved barge and railway network Hinterland hubs take over groupage and distribution function of seaport Hinterland hubs have become a major determining factor in the success of a port

30 Hinterland strategy: 3 pillars 1. Infrastructure: extending rail, barge and road infrastructure, e.g. Barge: heighten bridges on Albert Canal Rail: Liefkenshoek rail tunnel, 2 nd rail access to the port Road: Oosterweel connection 2. Operational improvements, e.g. Master plans rail and barge Central Barge Planning system ICT: Port Community system 3. Collaboration and/or investment in the hinterland, e.g. Limburg: Logistics Platform Liège: TriLogiPort Beverdonk: Container terminal (transferium) 2 new terminal projects (South and East)

31 Hinterland strategy: Goals Win-win for the seaport and the hinterland hub Anchoring of trade flows Anchoring companies with trade imports/exports in natural hinterland Local account approach of shippers Deploy Port of Antwep marketing efforts to attract companies in the hinterland location Optimisation of available (limited) space of port concessions Focus in the port on port related activities Offering potential investors an alternative at equal total logistics costs in the hinterland Structural congestion free solution via solid hinterland strategy Bundling of flows Optimisation of rail and barge network Hinterland nodes take over certain activities of seaports Groupage, distribution functions Green lanes, customs, security,

32 Port of Antwerp hinterland strategy - Tier 1: Consolidation of volumes via transferia - WCT Meerhout, Beverdonk Container Terminal, TCT Willebroek, Port of Brussels, - Tier 2: Tri-modal hinterland hubs - LAR Kortrijk & Mouscron (South West), Athus (South East), Liege - Tier 3: Hinterland corridors (Rail/Barge) - South Lanes: - France/Spain (Lille/Paris/Irun/ Hendaye and Lyon/Marseille/ Perpignan/Barcelona) - Italy (Basel/Milan East & West) - Eastern Lanes: - Rhine corridor - Germany/Austria/Hungary - Czech Rep/Poland

33 Port of Antwerp Collaboration and investments in inland terminals Logistics Platform Limburg Collaboration with the province Limburg, POM Limburg, NV De Scheepvaart, NV LRM & city councils (14) Collaboration on land development promotion, joint efforts in infrastructure developments and exchange of know-how, Genk South: 26 ha of Port of Genk Joint efforts to attract potential investors Port of Brussels Collaboration on land development, promotion, and hinterland connections and exchange of knowledge Trilogiport, Liège Economic collaboration Beverdonk Container Terminal Participation in Joint Venture Operational start 2012

35 Masterplan Barge ( ) 1. AIS for barges (Automatic Identification System) Compulsory use of inland AIS as from 1 March 2011 for inland navigation in the port of Antwerp 2. Functional Analysis Inland Container Shipping Charting the functional needs of the different inland shipping players in the short and long run in a structural manner Resulting in a supported action plan that can be initiated at short notice 3. Sailing schedules Container Barges Optimisation of the sailing schedules of the barge operators in the port 4. Barge Traffic System ICT interface between the barge operator and the terminal operator for the planning of loading and unloading operations. New version mid September Consolidation small container volumes Investigation by APA into possibility to set up consolidation platform in or outside the port Focus on consolidation of the Rhine volumes 6. Premium Barge Service intra port transport by barge Working out a dedicated barge service (regular bus service ) servicing fixed terminals within the port with fixed volumes at fixed time slots.

36 Barge infrastructure investments Upgrading Albertcanal between port and Wijnegem Renovation Van Cauwelaert lock ( ) Waiting dock for push barges K530 Development of waste park and water supply nearby Lillo bridge Waiting dock for barges Noordland bridge Waiting dock for barges Lillo Replacement fenders in Vrasene Dock

37 Masterplan Rail ( ) 1. Antwerp Intermodal Solutions II Objective: create new intermodal linkages between Antwerp and selected regions in Southern Germany & Central/Eastern Europe. Achieve win-win Commercial & cost advantages for participants (demand side) New opportunities for rail, intermodal and terminal operators Antwerp as a rail hub Antwerp Port Authority (APA) runs a neutral platform to allow for bundling of traffic (forwarders and carriers) and provide structured feedback to supply side Results: 5 new railway connections (Paris, Vienna, Ludwigshafen, Verona + 1 to be launched) + 2 destinations with frequency increases (Lyon and Duisburg) 2. Intra Port Rail Objective: to improve competitiveness of intra port shunting services and last mile solutions. 3. Conditions tanking facilities maintenance workshops for wagons and locomotives parking facility for wagons & locomotives use of Antwerp North bundling station Locomotive drivers: bottleneck profession (a profession which has difficulty filling vacancies) 4. Innovative projects to improve hinterland connectivity E.g. connect Antwerp to China via rail E.g. creating a corridor towards the West (UK market)
