Head Issues

Key Items related to Intermodal Transport

Consolidation of Industries

Change of Mode of Transport

Today infrastructure (Sea-/Rail Network)

How do we get more cargo from Road to Sea/Rail

No final destination but a lot is up to us

European Intermodal Transport

Combined Sea, Rail, Road

Trailers, Containers, Swap Bodies

Point/Point one mode still has preference

Long distances become more and more actractive

Lack of frequency, capacity and quality is still the biggest challenge to make a break through

Need of close cooperation between players

1963

Consolidation of Industries

Production

Im-/Export distribution channels

Transport Suppliers (Network)- Forwarders- Shipping lines- Ports- Railways- Haulage companies

What will change mode of transport ?

Important Parameters Door/Door Road/Sea/Rail

Market volumes and balance (point/point)

Change is depending on Frequency Transit time Reliability (supply chain – weakest link) Total supply chain costs Flexibility/capacity/utilization Access to information

Environmental impact (value for money?)

Germany/Norway (general cargo tons)

Germany/Norway (Borderline crossing)

European Continental Rail Network

UK/Continental Rail Network

5 trains per weekBirmingham – Lille - Novara

Connections:Glasgow, Edinburgh, Mannheim, Bordeaux, Lyon, Toulouse + Spain (via Perpignan + Bayonne)

Barge link: Lille–Rotterdam + Antwerp

Door to Door solutions between:UK, Belgium, France, Italy, Germany + Spain

European Shortsea Network

What prevent us to move from Road to Sea/Rail ??

Only volumes for one Port of entrance Oslofjord !

Only volumes for one Ro/Ro Sea operator – minimum 4 departures per week – 600 loads roundtrip !

Import Cargo must pay “return ticket” due to lack of export cargo !

Road infrastructure still not sufficient in Oslofjord area.

Lack of environmental focus Transit countries (SE/DK) !

Costs related to calls of Norwegian Ports !

What will make the change??

Focus on Needs instead of what you can get ! - Frequency, transit time and total costs

A Container solution Door/Door Norway/Continent should be and is today 15-20% cheaper than Trailer transport by road and at the same time much more environmental friendly –

Why don’t we use it more ??

An alternative to Road via Denmark is using the shipping network out of Gothenburg with high frequent departures to Germany, Benelux and UK !

“We have a responsibility to search continuously for new methods of handling our transport services with decreasing environmental impact”

1624 kms by road2200 kms by sea2431 kms by rail

A train carrying 18 full loads generates 5.2 kgs of CO2 Emissions per per km

18 trucks carrying full loads collectively generates 15.59 kgs of CO2 Emissions per km.

Our Story included a rail journey of 2431 kms saving over 25000kgs in CO2 emissions by choosing the rail option above the road option.
