e-freight progressing slowly IATA started the initiative in 2004 IATA introduced the e-awb in 2006 e-freight Pilot started in 2007 Slow adoption by the industry EU (and other) Customs go to e-customs Today's era requires instant information Shippers require low costs and transparency e-freight is the future, start now!
IATA-target: 100% e-freight by 2015 Today: 42 live countries 322 live airports 1,974 live trade lanes 46 airlines 2,162 forwarders Live: at least one shipment has been e-freighted 10,403 Ready trade lanes (MC99 and/or MP4) Direct Savings: $ 10.= per shipment/party
Airlines: 2010: Start of e-freight@nl Forwarders: Ground Handlers: Shippers: Supporting Organizations:

Vision for EF@NL Open Platform : Shared Platform for Reusing Data
Easy Accessible Development Model:
estaple Merges All Messaging AIRLINES / HANDLERS FORWARDERS GOVERN- MENT SHIPPERS 16
ecargo Receipt: Easy Compliance Check
The ACN Smart Card: For Speed & Security Gives access to 10 ground handling companies (mostly 1st line, but increasingly 2nd line) Used by > 300 trucking companies / couriers Digital ID for > 4,000 drivers All with criminal background checks Check on truckers RA status With biometric ID: hand scan
elink combines ecargo Receipt and the ACN Smart Card elink: link between shipment & driver/truck
Combining efreight & elink: Please Proceed to Dock Door
Advantages of elink at Schiphol: elink speeds up shipment delivery process: Shorter dwell times for forwarder / trucker: 15 minutes faster handling times (approx. 25%) No handling and less personnel at the desks of the ground handler Direct savings: approx. 5 million Indirect advantages of e-freight & elink: Opportunities for further reducing throughput times Peak shaving via Collaborative Planning
