The example of ThPA - TRAINOSE

Transcription

1 Port Hinterland integration The example of ThPA - TRAINOSE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Opportunities and challenges for territorial integration of seaport: ICT, infrastructures and services 27 th of March 2014, Valencia, Spain

2 Freight Transport Shift Trend

3 Two Strategic Corridors Athens Thessaloniki - Sofia (Yana terminal) Varna Market Interest for Bypassing Dardanelle Straits Athens Thessaloniki - Sofia (Yana Terminal) Arad Budapest Sopron Dresden Market Interest to have an alternative to corridor X (Greece FYROM Serbia etc)

4 Pilot Overall Scenario Shipping Line Shipping Agent Ports (e.g. ThPA) Customs controls Railway service providers (in that case TRAINOSE) Consignee Integration of ICT technologies along intermodal transport chains Vessel announcement Notifications on arrival/departure Cargo status Cargo location Delivery report Damage report Train chedules/ availability Wagon booking

5 Pilot focus Cargo Import Corridor B Bulk transfer Corridor A Container transfer

6 Pilot Area

7 Current Process (As-Is) Arrival of container at ThPA and loading on train Communication (tel, fax) of the agent / freight forwarder with TRAINOSE to arrange the transshipment of the container. Verification by TRAINOSE (tel, fax) Communication (tel) of the agent / freight forwarder with ThPA to arrange the transshipment of the container on the train assignment on virtual train by ThPA Internal procedures to compose the train by TRAINOSE train arrival at ThPA Loading of containers on the train the details of the final loading plan are sent from ThPA to TRAINOSE Arrival of container via train at ThPA and loading on ship Submission of train unloading plan message from TRAINOSE to ThPA

8 Current Process Limitations No process optimization because of gaps and/or delays on information exchange Limited visibility throughout the entire chain ICT technologies are not deployed in full scale Information exchange still relies on paperwork, fax, phone in several cases

9 To-be process The agents perform a container transport request via train to ThPA TRAINOSE receives electronically (via ThPA) the agents requests and groups them into full trains, sending back a proposed loading plan of the containers on the train ThPA performs the necessary procedures inside the container yard for faster loading The containers are loaded on the train and ThPA notifies TRAINOSE for the final container loading plan on the train TRAINOSE employees perform printouts of the accompanying documents for the train TRAINOSE receives the loaded train, and employees check the loading of each container and its accompanying documents, and the train is dispatched towards its final destination TRAINOSE provides information for the current status of each wagon via electronic means

10 Pilot Specifications Specifications based on analysis of as-is situation, needs/requirements and final to-be designed process The specifications are clustered along three different axes Pilot Functional Areas Pilot Components Deployment corridors

11 High Level Overall Functionality Information Provision Functional Areas F1 Cargo handling orders/instructions (including booking) F2 Transport means status (availability, ETA etc.) F3 Cargo status F4 Pricing F5 Handling operations (internal) F6 Issuing accompanying documents

12 Pilot Components Component #1: Partner-specific functionality Different per partner based on own needs Component #2: Inter-partner Visibility functionality Exchange of information between ThPA TRAINOSE to improve visibility (and internal operations) Component #3: Cross-pilot Visibility functionality Information pushed/shared to Visibility platform

13 Mapping High-Level Functionality to Components Visibility Platform Cross-Pilot Visibility F2 F5 F3 ThPA Partner-specific components Inter-Partner Visibility F1 Trainose Partner-specific components F5 F3 F5 F1 F2 F1 F2 F3 Ocean carrier, Freight Forwarder Involves completely new functionality to be developed/deployed in FUTUREMED Partial implementation of respective functionality to cover cross-pilot visibility F6 F4 Modified functionality on existing system Combination of new and modified functionality

14 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 Partner (TRAINOSE) Specific Functionality Both Corridors Cargo handling orders/instructions Cargo handling instructions = rail wagon booking: Shipping Agent/FF sends notification for cargo to be loaded on train (cargo available on ThPA) Transport means status Rail wagon availability & verification Shipping Agent/FF sends notification for cargo to be loaded on train Rail schedules Cargo status Pricing Cargo damage report Rail wagon/ cargo tracking (point-level not real time) Rail wagon pricing (full or partial) Handling operations (internal) Train loading plan Modify existing functionality for container Develop and deploy new for bulk Handling accompanying documents Issue national rail transport form Issue CIT standardized form

15 Partner (ThPA) Specific Functionality Corridor A - Container Handling operations (internal) Yard management Container re-shuffling based on train composition and containers to be loaded F5 Monitor rail loading/unloading operations F3 Corridor B Bulk Cargo handling orders/instructions Cargo unloading pre-announcement Ship pre-announcement Monitor rail loading/unloading operations & train exit F1 F2 F3

16 Inter-Partner Visibility Functionality (I) (Both Corridors) Cargo handling orders/instructions F1 TRAINOSE to ThPA: Train loading/unloading plan Train composition ETA Containers to be loaded/unloaded ThPA to TRAINOSE Train loading/unloading start/end-plan confirmation

17 Inter-Partner Visibility Functionality (II) Corridor A - Containers ThPA B Forward message TRAINOSE MIS E-Doc service C Container loading plan Container loading confirmation Booking service Wagon Availability service D A Container transport request/order RFID Tracking New Service Modified Service Agent/Freight Forwarder

18 Inter-Partner Visibility Functionality (III) Corridor B - Bulk ThPA ΤΡΑΙΝΟΣΕ TRAINOSE MIS MIS B Forward message NEW service C Bulk loading plan Bulk loading confirmation Booking service Wagon Availability service D A Bulk transport request/order RFID Tracking New Service Agent/Freight Forwarder

19 Cross-Pilot Visibility Functionality Cargo-centric Cargo status (in port) unloading from vessel/stored all checks completed (customs, veterinary, etc) Cargo loaded on train wagon Cargo status (on rail) Rail wagon dispatched Location (checkpoint-level) Delivery in dry-port F3 Transport mode centric information Train schedules ATA/ATD (from TRAINOSE) Wagon capacity/availability (from TRAINOSE) Vessels ETA/ ETD ATA/ATD (from THPA) F2 Terminal centric information emergency/incident information provision (e.g. strikes, rail infrastructure works underway, etc.) (from TRAINOSE and THPA) F5

20 Involved Systems (I) TRAINOSE Intermodal Cargo Shuttle (ICS)

21 Involved Systems (II) TRAINOSE RFID wagon tracking system* *On-going project Centralized wagon movement view

22 Involved Systems (III) ThPA CTMIS E-doc system for message submission Yard Planning based on the GIS system of THPA

23 Next Steps Development and testing of ICT components (September 2014) Pilot operation of the two corridors (September 2014 April 2015) Evaluation (End of 2014 April 2015)
