Market integration has not been accomplished harmoniously – Growing imbalance between modes of transport – Increasing congestion and environmental pollution – Enlargement and sustainable development: two imperatives that face us with new choices We must ... – Change the direction of European transport policy to adapt our mobility system to the new challenges Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Intermodality Why Intermodal? - Congestion Congestion cost = 0.5% GDP (1% by 2010) Competitive loss and negative external effects Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Intermodality Why Intermodal? - Energy In terms of energy efficiency and the weight of goods which can be moved One litre of fuel moves: 50 tonnes, on road 97 tonnes, on rail 127 tonnes, on inland waterways European Transport Policy for 2010: Time to Decide Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Intermodality INTERMODAL TRANSPORT PHYSICAL NETWORK SERVICE NETWORK Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Intermodality Physical Network • AGTC-Network • TEN – T • Pan-European Transport Corridors and Areas • TINA Network Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Intermodality Service Network SS S • Origin Destination S S S Ú Ê S Ú Ê S S SS S S S S S S S S S S S SS SS S SS S SS SS S S S S S S S S S S S S SS SS S S S S S S S S S S SS S S S S S S S SS S S S S S • Tracking S S S S S S Ú Ê S SS S S S S ÚS Ê SÊ Ú S S S Ú Ê ÊS Ú S S S ÚÊ Ê Ú Ú Ê Ú Ê Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú Ê ÊS Ú Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú Ê Ú Ê Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú ÊÊ Ú S S S Ú Ê Ú Ê S S S S S S S S S SS Ú Ê S SÊ Ú S S Ú Ê S Ú Ê SS S S Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê S S SÊ Ú Ú Ê Ú Ê Ú Ê S Ú Ê S Ê Ú SÊ Ú S ÊS Ú Ú Ê S S S SS S S S S SS S Ê Ú S SS S S S S Ú Ê S Ú Ê Ú Ê S SS Ú Ê S S SS Ú ÚÊ Ê S Ú S Ê Ú S Ê S S Ú Ê Ê Ú S Ê S S Ú Ê Ú Ú Ê S S S S S S S S S S Ê SÚ S S S S S S S SS S S Ú Ê S Ê Ú S Ú Ê Ú Ê S SS S S S SS S SSSS S S SS S S S S Ú Ê SSS S S S S S SS S S SSS S S S Ú Ê S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S SS SS S S S S S SS S S S Ú Ê S S S SS S Ú Ê Ú SÊ Ú Ê ÚÊ Ê ÊS Ú Ú Ú Ê S S S S S SS S S SS S S S S S SS SS • Handling Ú Ê S Ú Ê S S S SSS S S S S S Ú Ê S S S S S S SS S S S S S SS SSS SS S SS SS S S S S S S SS • Frequencies S S S S S S S • Mode(s) S S S SS S S S SS S S S S S S S S S S S SSS S S S S Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Pan European Inland Waterways (source INE) Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Enlargement From 1 May 2004, 10 more countries have joined the EU Measures that aim at developing the inland waterways’ infrastructure: • liberalisation with regard to free pricing and contracting • improvement of fleet structure • harmonisation of technical and legal standards • guarantee of fair competition between the modes • better co-operation between transport operators. According to EUROSTAT data, the enlargement of the Union will increase its inland waterways goods transport by about 40 million tons in the shortterm. The enlargement, will lead to a unavoidable shift of emphasis and concentration on the networks which link up with the new Member States.

Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Conclusions Needs for inland navigation on Danube • Clear need for cost reduction and scale advantage: – Infrastructural improvements (e.g. more depth) – Modern vessels and 24h/7days operation • Clear need for reducing the transit time of inland navigation: – Higher sailing speeds - bigger and modern vessels – Reduction of waiting time at locks, bridges, customs (ICT). – More ‘around the clock’ navigation and operation of locks and bridges (24-7) • Maximum awareness at shippers, logistic service providers, forwarders about the opportunities of transports via the Danube Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, Greece December 6 - 7, 2004 Intermodality and Inland Waterways George Patris, Secretariat of Corridor VII Multimodal Transport and Trade Facilitation Southeast European Forum 2004 Alexandroupolis, 6-7 December 2004 Intermodality
