2. Supply Chain Trends Port Developments Growing call-sizes due to Ultra Large Container Ships Modal split obligations by Port Authorities Low utilization of European transport systems (road, waterways and railways) European transport system (infrastructure) reached its maximum Competition between ports: overcapacity HLH-range expected Increasing competition within Rotterdam: Maasvlakte 2 Supply Chain Trends Increasing importance of performance requirements Awareness of environment (CO 2 ) andcarbon footprint More focus on security (a.o.isps, AEO)
3. Synchromodality
3. Synchromodality Synchromodality: making optimal use of all modes of transport and available capacity, at all times, as an integrated transport solution. Key aspects: Mode free booking Dynamic planning and routing Switching modes of transport in real time Information availability and visibility Decision making based on network utilization Combining transport flows Cooperation
4. European Gateway Services ECT develops a network of inland terminals (ECT Extended Gate ) and bundles containers on the main corridors from/to its deep sea terminals Daily and dedicated barge and rail connections by EGS and partners Scheduled, planned, operated on both sides of the inland supply chain Developing additional services to support the supply chain
4. European Gateway Services
4. European Gateway Services Building blocks Emission Visibility Security Supports reduction of CO 2 emission Track & trace as part of EGS web services Integrated secure lane (ISPS level) Customs Logistics Document free chain (paperless) Scheduling, planning, transport
5. COMCIS topics Carrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland Extended Line Release Paperless service (customs) Postponing the commercial release to a hinterland gate Pushing containers to the hinterland using EGS Discharge Predictor Improved prediction of physical container availability after discharge, allowing for improved hinterland planning. Synchromodal Dashboard More awareness of the hinterland transport links. Combiningcontainer data, EGS-bookingdata andhinterland transport data.
5. COMCIS One integrated dashboard, with consolidated data, ready for operational use to manage seahinterland operations Data Consolidation Standardizedata acrossect andegs: one booking, one status, one container release, etc. Data Standardization Data Aggregation Buildon top of resultsof Integrity: aggregatedata of terminals, carriers, customs, hinterland operations.
5. COMCIS: Results Extended Line Release Carrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland Development of company-wide release management as part of ITarchitecture Tried & tested; further roll-out beyond COMCIS Interest confirmed by carriers for carrier-haulage containers: Improvement possible for 46% of containers or 12% if paperless customs service is used) Significant reduction in time spent at the terminal -33% for all containers -74% when combined with paperless customs service Attractiveness of Rotterdam as Gateway to Europe confirmed using statistical analysis (TNO World Container Model ) +2,5% increase in volume over competitors? Further legal and commercial agreements required? High-impact on IT and operations
5. COMCIS: Results Discharge predictor Carrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland Reduction in lead time of up to 42 hours Data aggregation: load plans, crane planning, carrier ETA Tried & tested; further roll-out beyond COMCIS 95%+ accurate predictions 97% accuracy in operations (no removal from load-list) Reduction in administrative effort by operators/planners confirmed Currently being rolled-out as part of the ECT/EGS IT-architecture Used internally; future option: external use in e-services
5. COMCIS: Results Synchromodal dashboard Carrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland The synchromodaldashboard consolidates data on carrier release, customs release, availabilityand planned hinterland transport. Used as an operational tool by European Gateway Services.? Currently being implemented and evaluated Concept matches ECT expectations
5. Summary European Gateway Services as a strategic development within ECT COMCIS provides enhanced visibility to push containers to the hinterland Extended Line Release take away the commercial release barrier Discharge Predictor physical availability SynchromodalDashboard linking terminal and hinterland operations Concepts proven within COMCIS; further commercial roll-out already started
