Management and Development of Inter-modality and Maritime Transport
Maritime and intermodal transport system: Overview Intermodality - origens
• Historical background of intermodality: • Use of land bridges (Alexandria-Suez and Panama-Colon) • “loose boxes” for Bridgewater Canal coal for • Piggyback before WWII railroad • Malcom McLean – 1955 – Sea • RCH container (UK) the first Land standard (early XX century) • The istmos approach Intermodal transport
• Intermodal transport ( two
or more transport modes) Multimodal • Intermodal transport (movement of goods in one cargo unit or vehicule, successively using two or more transport modes, with no contact with the goods in the modal connection operations) Combined Transport - definitions
• The railroad segment, inland or maritime waterway should exceed 100 Km “as the crow flies” • The initial and final road segments in the road-rail combination should be limited to transportation between the place of loading / unloading and the nearest rail station with the right conditions for the transfer • In the river road and maritime combinations the initial and final road segments may not exceed 150 km “as the crow flies” combined transport EC definition Consolidation
‘1º Km’ • Basic intermodal transport structure: Transfer
Transportchain • Consolidation Interchange • Transfer (park) • Interchange(new mode) • The deconsolidation Deconsolidation Source: Intermodality ‘last Km’ The importance of the intermodal node
• Greater mobility of production factors (particularly capital). • Better use of comparative costs (especially labor). • Need to strengthen the transactional and legal environment. • Growth of intermodal transport supported in containerization. • Terminals (or transfer points) as hubs for the efficiency of transport networks • New terminals and locations (dry ports). • Increasing of flow speed. Characteristics of intermodal transport
• Pick up (generally truck) • Advantages: door-to-door • Trunk line (mostly maritime • On a larger scale maritime but can also be rail and transport, but also rail and inland waterways) inland waterways have • Distribution (normaly truck) lower costs then road • Intermodality with air • Disadvantages; cost of transport is distinct mode changes: terminals Hardware intermodal-ship
