1 VENICE PORT AUTHORITY WS #4: Ports in the Trans-European Transport Network concept From a port system to a multi-port system Prof. Paolo COSTA Special Commissioner, Venice Port Authority Conference on European ports Policy: Unlocking the Growth Potential Bruxelles, 26/09/2012

2 TEN-T guidelines: positive ports experiences and future From Europe as a single internal market to a single Europe in the global market, core network ports as a gateway towards the world economy; Asia-Europe maritime flows are already three times bigger than North America-Europe maritime transport flows; Core Network Corridors: 5 out of 10 have O/D in Core Ports (Baltic Adriatic, Hambourg Lefkosia, Helsinky-La Valletta, Genova- Rotterdam, Amsterdam Marseille); - 4 out of 10 have O or D in a Core Port (Mediterranean, Lisboa- Strasbourg, Dublin- Brussels, Strasbourg - Danube C.); - 1 (Warszawa Midlands) out of 10 includes 4 of the Core Ports (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Felixstowe, Liverpool) Corridors enhance competition and improve EU ports system competitiveness as a single market vs the global market (win/win);

3 Italian contribution to TEN-T Guidelines Core TEN-T Network last mile : railways and road connections Dryport B Dryport A Port 1 Port 4 Port 2 Port 3 Multi-port logistic systems: NAPA, Thyrrenian, Apulia, Campania and Sicily Multiports systems Hub&Spoke : Gioia Tauro, Taranto, Cagliari (North Africa political instability) multi-port logistic system connected to the TEN-T corridors

4 Italian multiport system of European interest TEN-T network identifies 5main Italian port clusters as North: Tyrrhennian and Adriatic South : Apulia ports, Campania and Sicily

5 Italian multi-port systems of European Interest Venice in the 10 Ten-T corridors TEN-T network identifies four main Italian port clusters: 2 at the north and 3 at the south of the peninsula. North: Thyrrennian and North Adriatic South : Apulia ports, Campania and Sicily

6 Port of Venice: hinterland connection potentiality

7 Port of Venice: hinterland connection potentiality

8 Port of Venice : main challenges Higher capacity - offshore terminal (TEN-T funding Call 2012 PPP) Higher efficiency - Administrative simplification in Ports, lean customs procedures, bottlenecks removal, last mile railway connections (TEN-T funding Call 2009 and 2010) Higher integration vertical integration with dry ports in the Core network and ICT Interoperability - ERTMS, Freight Corridors and NAPA PCS (TEN-T funding MoS Call 2010) Safety in a liberalized market for marine services

9 Port of Venice : offshore container terminal Innovative offshore-onshore transhipment technology concepts: - Container of containers (Kassette) - steel frame crane - lash vessel; Ocean ship to land terminal in a maximum of ca hours

10 Port of Venice : offshore container terminal OFFSHORE Energy efficiency (innovative solutions); Flexible OFFSHORE nautical transfer system integrated with IWW terminals (Marghera, Chioggia, Porto Levante, Mantova )

11 TEN-T Platforms and Inter-port coordination/cooperation TEN-T Platform could be an efficient instrument in terms of: a) governance structure to assure territorial value added in terms of cooperation ; b) services development (One-Stop-Shop concept); c) secondary node to node transnational integration within the Core Network; Inter-port coordination /cooperation : NAPA as multiport gateway (Short-sea shipping, MoS, common ICT platform, Joint marketing and promotion attracting direct callings from Far East)

12 Inter-port coordination/cooperation NAPA ports could collectively secure 6.0 MTEU of container traffic by 2030 Share & Volume ( 000s TEU) < 10% 11%-30% 31%-50% 51%-70% 71%-90% >91% Mediterranean corridor Helsinki-Valletta corridor CZECH AUSTRIA SLOVENIA Adriatic Baltic corridor CROATIA SLOVAKIA HUNGARY BOSNIA SERBIA Source NAPA Container Market Study
