Turkey Acting as national multimodal cluster s organisations Clustering operators and transport users Shipowners, Shippers, Road haulers, Forwarders, ports,.. Promoting MoS and its better integration in intermodal transport chains SPC Italy is chairing the ESN from 1 July 2014 till 31 December

3 Shortsea Promotion Centres: OBJECTIVES WHO WE ARE WHAT DO WE DO Promote MoS and Intermodality Decongestion of roads Ensure sustainable mobility and flows of traffics promote intra EU maritime transport Reduce bottlenecks and simplify formalities Favour solutions for sustainable transport Since 1999, SPCs are part of the operational measures identified by the Commission to promote the image of SSS COM 1999(317) Non profit organisations supporting cluster activities 100% public, mixed or 100% industries s run structures in straight connection with National Focal Points (FOP) ESN Annual Report Dissiminate information on SSS, legal, economic and technical Cooperate with Escola Europea de SSS, Centre Atlantique de Shortsea européen, communication campaigns, ECSA, ESPO, FEPORT Make concrete proposals to national, EU authorities Report on activities during the annual Joint meeting with EC and National Focal Points 3

4 European Shortsea Network (ESN): Mission Strengthening the activities of promotion of national SPCs to ensure that SSS is perceived as a viable alternative to road Stimulating the exchange of initiatives between SPCs (best practice) Identifying common problems, needs and bottlenecks arising from the contacts with the users (bottom up approach) and search for solutions Vision Shifting the increased road traffic to sea transport, ensuring SSS will be the real alternative to road freight transport 2011 White paper objectives: 30% of road freight over 300km should shift to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050, facilitating by efficient and Green corridors. 4

5 European Shortsea Network (ESN): ESN still confronted with factors hampering the development of SSS/MOS Image of MOS (more marketing and interactive communication needed between governing institutions and potential beneficiaries; MoS application process still complicated ) complex administrative procedures lack of efficiency at ports inconsistency in the application of rules and procedures among EU Members States lack of integration with the intermodal logistics chain Difficult to promote with such bottlenecks still around 5

6 European Shortsea Network (ESN): where do we stand in 2015 Multimodal transport of goods e-freight: The concepts of single window and one-stop administrative shop aiming at creating and deploying a single transport document in electronic form (electronic waybill) and creating the appropriate framework for the deployment of tracking and tracing technologies is far from being a reality in all EU ports! This should be accompanied by a uniform liability regime for intermodal transport in the Eu. Maintaining the efficient operation and guidance of SPCs driven by multimodal business interests, SPCs are delivering, however some still suffer of lack of financing. Ensuring a vital role of SSS Focal Points Cooperation with FOPs is effective as most SPCs are 100% /50% public structures, however more enhanced interaction is needed. Statistical information EU statistics on SSS trade are not sufficiently detailed SPCs are a valuable source of data => Ready to contribute. 6

7 European Shortsea Network (ESN): Better regulation for better promotion ESN welcomed the positive and forward-looking Athens Declaration (May 2014) and asked for concrete implementation: In may 2015, Joint letter co-signed by ECSA, ESPO, FEPORT, INTERFERRY, World Shipping Council, ESN to the EC and Member States to remind their commitments and to highlight 4 areas that should continue to form the basis of EU SSS/MoS in the future: 1. improved environmental performance without losing competitive edge 2. completion of the single market for shipping and ports 3. promotion of maritime careers, training 4. improvement of the sector s image through the Shortsea Promotion Centres/Focal Points at national level 7

8 Short Sea Shipping (SSS) EU-28 SSS of goods by type of cargo for each sea region of partner ports in 2013 % based on gross weight of goods Mil ton Share of Short Sea Shipping (SSS) of goods in total sea transport in

9 Short Sea Shipping (SSS) In 2013, SSS in the EU-28 was above 1.7 billion tonnes of freight. Short sea volumes in the main ports of the United Kingdom (UK) came close to 307 million tonnes of cargo in 2013, accounting for 14 % of the total tonnages of short sea shipping in the EU-28 countries. The UK is followed by Italy and the Netherlands, with shares of 12.4 % and 12 % of the EU short sea shipping total, respectively. SSS made up 58 % of total EU-28 maritime transport of goods, about the same as in However, the share of SSS in total maritime transport varies considerably between the reporting countries. The predominance of SSS of goods over deep sea shipping was particularly pronounced in Bulgaria, Denmark, Ireland, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Finland and Sweden (above 80 %), as well as in the EEA country Norway.
