1 Goods Movement Research for Metro Vancouver 1. Short Sea Shipping 2. Inland Terminals Presentation to the Regional Planning Committee July 10, 2015 Davies Transportation Consulting Inc. Hooper Engineering MariNova Consulting Ltd. Site Economics Ltd. Wave Point Consulting Ltd. RPL - 1-1

2 Study Objectives Undertake research to provide content for Metro Facts in Focus policy backgrounders: 1) Short Sea Shipping 2) Inland Terminals Support evidence-based policy discussions Identify issues and challenges Multi-disciplinary consultant team Hooper Engineering RPL - 2-2

3 Study Definitions Short Sea Shipping: the movement of cargo by water over relatively short distances, excluding trans-oceanic voyages. Bulk Barge Log Barge Pulp and Paper Barge Chip Barge Petroleum Barge Rail Barge 3 RPL - 3 -

4 Study Definitions Inland Terminals: multimodal terminals handling port-related traffic located inland from port terminals. South Carolina Inland Port Richmond Logistics Centre RPL Photo by William Jans, courtesy of Tolko Industries 4

5 Commercial Viability Shipper priorities: Low transportation costs Reliability in transportation options Frequent shipments Carrier priorities: Maximize utilization of capital assets (e.g. trains, containers, terminals) Maximize throughput capacity Maximize operational efficiencies RPL - 5-5

6 Short Sea Shipping: Potential Benefits Reduce adverse impacts associated with: Truck traffic on the region s roads (congestion, accidents) Air quality, GHG emissions, noise RPL - 6 -

7 Short Sea Shipping: Key Findings Short sea shipping is already a vital part of marine commerce of non-containerized goods Opportunity to expand bulk, break bulk, and roll-on/roll-off operations on existing sites Limited viability of new short sea shipping service for containers RPL - 7 -

8 Inland Terminals: Potential Benefits Accommodate traffic growth on a limited port land footprint Influence mode choice for port-related traffic Enable ports to access market areas which are outside their existing catchment areas Transfer port-related activity inland to reduce pressure for the conversion of agricultural lands to industrial uses RPL - 8-8

9 Inland Terminals: Key Findings Import-oriented terminal: Typically located in high population areas; Calgary role growing Export-oriented terminal: Rail service model critical; commercial challenges (transportation costs) Empty Container terminal: Rail service problematic, lack of suitable land Integrated Logistics Park: Combines import, export and container storage; ideally requires large site, proximity to population centre, good rail service (example: PMV Richmond Logistics Centre) RPL - 9-9

10 Public Policies and Actions Federal: Contribution funding for short sea shipping and inland terminal projects Provincial: Highway infrastructure investments facilitate trucking; ALR protects agricultural lands Regional: Metro 2040 protects industrial lands, but cannot encourage specific forms of industrial activity Municipal: Zoning to retain lands for compatible industrial uses RPL

11 Current Policy Issues: Truck traffic mitigation Land use Future Research Port expansion and economic impact Potential Solutions: Increased drayage efficiency (requires data) Short Sea Shipping Inland Terminals (in or out of region) More intensive industrial uses on the SFPR corridor; Tsawwassen Gateway Logistics Centre, etc. RPL
