Unifeeder en railtransport
20-10-2011

Unifeeder en railtransport Ong. 220 ”shortsea ladingen” per week via spoor. Hoofdzakelijk: Duitsland (Ruhr) en Italie (Noord) + domestic Norway, Sweden Via mainhubs Hamburg (beste connecties UF netwerk) en Rotterdam. 40ft standaard equipment – Cabotage Nieuw: 45ft pallet wide product. Shortsea uitdaging: Inbalans -> containers leeg op, geen optie, te kostbaar > Oplossing: - Domestic ( rail ) lading stromen -> puur positionering. * Nadeel: Commitment Southbound domestic niet-scheepsgerelateerde klanten. * Voordeel: Reducering in inbalans, dus kosten efficienter

Challenges cooperation Rail en Shortsea Concurrentie Shortsea en Rail transport aan de ene kant, samenwerking aan de andere kant Capaciteit Communicatie Frequentie Transit tijden Vertragingen in het algemeen – Uitdaging of Kans ? - Stakingen - Werkzaamheden spoor - Tractie problemen - Bereikbaarheid/congestie terminals - Verschillende spoorbreedtes.

Opportunities Rail en Shortsea - Voorhalen met trailer vaak geen optie ivm product gebonden x-dock restricties - Barge zelden een optie ivm te lange leadtimes - Trucken wordt steeds lastiger in Europa - Het groene alternatief - Kritische massa’s creeren door bundeling shortsea en deepsea. - Openbreken “lastig” (lees kostbaar) bereikbare markten als bijvoorbeeld: Spanje en Frankrijk & Centraal Europa
