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 (CO2) and carbon 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

•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

Building blocks

Logistics

Security

Visibility

Customs

Track & trace as part of EGS web services

Integrated secure lane (ISPS level)

Document free chain (paperless)

Scheduling, planning, transport

Emission Supports reduction of CO2 emission

4. European Gateway Services

• Postponing the commercial release to a hinterland gate• ‘Pushing containers to the hinterland’ using EGS

• Improved prediction of physical container availability after discharge, allowing for improved hinterland planning.

• More awareness of the hinterland transport links.• Combining container data, EGS-booking data and hinterland transport

data.

Extended Line Release

Discharge Predictor

Synchromodal Dashboard

5. COMCIS topicsCarrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland

Paperless service (customs)

5. COMCIS

Data Consolidation

Data Standardization

Data Aggregation

Build on top of results of Integrity: aggregate data of terminals, carriers,

customs, hinterland operations.Standardize data across ECT and EGS:

one booking, one status, one container release, etc.

One integrated dashboard, with consolidated data, ready for

operational use to manage sea-hinterland operations

5. COMCIS: ResultsExtended Line ReleaseCarrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland

Development of company-wide release management as part of IT-architecture

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 predictorCarrier 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-architectureUsed internally; future option: external use in e-services

5. COMCIS: Results

Synchromodal dashboardCarrier release + customs release + physical availability hinterland

The synchromodal dashboard consolidates data on carrier release, customs release, availability and 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• Synchromodal Dashboard linking terminal and hinterland

operations

• Concepts proven within COMCIS; further commercial roll-out already started
