  • Investigation of Freight Rail Transport in Worldwide Logistics Important Area Port of Antwerp: a Review
    Investigation of freight rail transport in worldwide logistics important area Port of Antwerp: A review Lucia Knapčíková1*,Michal Balog1 {[email protected], [email protected]} Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies with a seat in Prešov, Department of Industrial Engineering and Informatics , Bayerova 1, 080 01 Prešov, Slovak Republic1* Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies with a seat in Prešov, Department of Industrial Engineering and Informatics , Bayerova 1, 080 01 Prešov, Slovak Republic1 Abstract. The situation with the road transportation inspires companies to think more and more about alternative ways of transporting goods from remote industrial zones quickly, safely and taking into account an ever more important environmental aspect. The quantity of goods transported in freight transport is increasing every year, which is also reflected in the unfavourable increase in road transport. Road transportation is often used, roads are more prone to wear, and their repair requires significant financial costs each year. The traffic situation proves that the future is using rail transportation. Moving freight from road to rail is also the intention of the European Union, which is declared in the “White Paper on Transport”. In addition to other targets, it states that by the year 2030, 30% of road freight over 300 km should be transferred to other modes of transport such as rail or inland waterway transport, and by the year 2050, this should be represent more than 50%. Keywords: Port Antwerp, logistics, railway solution 1 Introduction The Port of Antwerp lies on the banks of the river Schelde about 88 kilometers from the North Sea in Belgium.

About the city Antwerp Number of inhabitants 516 000 Area in Km² 204,5 km2 Annual budget of the city 1 480 000 000 euro Annual budget for culture Total amount of 87 800 000 euro for buildings/equipment/overhead, exploitation/operation, staff. Divided into: • 35 200 000 euro: local cultural policies: libraries, cultural centra, • 16 000 000 euro: art policies: subsidies of opera, ballet, theatres, filharmonie,… • 36 600 000 euro: musea and cultural heritage The local/regional context Belgium, officially the Kingdom of Belgium is a small, densely populated country which covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres and has a population of about 11 million people. Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. It is divided into three regions and three communities, that exist next to each other. Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region. A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of government Antwerp is the most populous city in Flanders. Antwerp is on the River Scheldt, linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde estuary. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world, ranking second in Europe and within the top 20 globally. 1 Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries, both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the Dutch Revolt.

  • Tallest Electricity Pylons in the Benelux Open for Viewing on Open Site Day
    MAY 17, 2019 Tallest electricity pylons in the Benelux open for viewing on Open Site Day ANTWERP – Belgium's system operator Elia is taking part in Open Site Day on Sunday. The general public will be able to learn about the Brabo project in the Port of Antwerp, where the tallest electricity pylons in the Benelux are currently being built. At a height of 192 metres, these pylons will be the tallest structures in the Antwerp skyline. The Brabo project aims to upgrade the high-voltage grid and improve the security of supply at the Port of Antwerp and in Belgium. The last major investments in the high-voltage grid at the Port of Antwerp were made in the 1970s. An update to the grid was vital to facilitate the port's growth. The project will also enable imports from the Netherlands to increase. After the project has been completed, it will be possible to import 20% more electricity under ideal conditions. Finally, Elia's Brabo project will facilitate further integration into the European energy system. The second stage of the Brabo project at the Port of Antwerp is currently under way. The existing 150-kV high- voltage line is being renewed and upgraded to a 380-kV connection on the right bank in the Antwerp district of Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo and the municipality of Stabroek. For 90% of the way, the connection will follow the current route along the A12 between the high-voltage substations at Zandvliet and Lillo (near the Liefkenshoek tunnel). This means that the line must cross the Scheldt to Beveren, where it will be connected to the existing 380- kV connection.

Security and policing activities within the port area are frequent, diversifi ed and involve many different actors (federal and local goverments, law enforcement agencies, emergency services etc.). To make security measures work, it is not only important that responsibilities and competences of these actors are unambiguously fi xed but also that there is suffi cient cooperation and coordination among them.

Długi Targ 8/10, 80-828 Gdansk, Poland Abstract The study takes a comparative approach by investigating the situation in the hinterlands of two different port areas in Europe: Antwerp (Belgium) and Gdansk-Gdynia agglomeration (Poland). Both port centres have an important road hinterland connection that faces competition from other alternative modes of freight transport. However, the Port of Antwerp is already one of the leading ports of the continent while the ports of Gdansk and Gdynia are at the stage of building their competitive position. In the paper the results for both ports obtained using different methodologies are compared. Existing spatial analogies allow making conclusions that are valid for both environments. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
