Port Energy Operations and Clean Power Investment Analysis Trainmos Ii PORT ENERGY OPERATIONS AND CLEAN POWER INVESTMENT ANALYSIS TRAINMOS II LOGISTIC PLATFORMS AND ENERGY LOCATION October 2015 José Luis Almazán CONTENTS EVOLUTION OF PORTS LOGISTICS PLATFORM LOGISTICS PLATFORMS IN SPAIN DRY PORTS EVOLUTION OF PORTS Ports evolution has changed its management forms, and could be classified as follows: • Ports conceived to transport goods between land and sea and vice versa, through a local or regional hinterland, unrelated to the socioeconomic environment of the territory where it was located. • Industrial ports, that begin to be seen as a transportation hub and a center of industrial and commercial activity. Services are limited to ships and goods but in its vicinity processing industries are installed. • Ports incorporate logistics functions related to the distribution of goods in services, data processing and use of telecommunications systems, and help to generate added value. LOGISTICS PLATFORM DEFINITION The space located strategically in the territory to act as complementary and central element with the different ways of transportation. These platforms are interspersed inside the network of intermodal traffic of merchandise and they have a mission to serve as a link among the different methods of transportation: railroad‐highway, maritime‐highway, air cargo‐ highway, and their possible combinations. LOGISTICS PLATFORMS Apart from the previous classification, some ports are logistics platforms with security and communications systems at the highest technological level. Also called network ports, are able to integrate into a multimodal transportation network. They have business and management units, and a growth and expansion strategy in common with other ports that are similar. LOGISTICS PLATFORMS IN SPAIN • BARCELONA ZAL is the intermodal logistics platform of the Port of Barcelona. Its aim is to attract maritime traffic with services of logistics infrastructure with added value to the goods. A real logistics hub and economic engine of the city. LOGISTICS PLATFORMS IN SPAIN • TARRAGONA The Port of Tarragona consolidates as the Mediterranean door that brings Chemichal Industry to the world. LOGISTICS PLATFORMS IN SPAIN • VALENCIA The ZAL Port of Valencia will become a multimodal distribution centre for maritime goods logistics completing the logistics offer of the Port of Valencia. DRY PORTS A dry port is an inland intermodal terminal directly connected by road or rail to a seaport and operating as a centre for the transshipment of sea cargo to inland destinations. In Spain, the main dry ports are: ‐ PLAZA: Zaragoza Logistics Platform ‐ Dry Port of Coslada PLAZA: ZARAGOZA LOGISTICS PLATFORM With an area of 13.117.977 m2, the Logistics Platform of Zaragoza (PLAZA) is the largest logistics premises on the European continent. The principle characteristic of PLAZA is that it is based on an intermodal transport centre (railways, roads, and air routes), a combination which activates capacities which make Zaragoza one of the most important logistical cities in Europe, with connections to the most relevant European production and consumer centres. DRY PORT OF MADRID Puerto Seco de Madrid ( Dry Port of Madrid ), has built a railway container terminal in Coslada‐Madrid and has set new rail service between Madrid and spanish ports: Bay of Algeciras, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia. DRY PORT OF MADRID The Puerto Seco de Madrid ( Dry Port of Madrid ) working face accomplishing the following goals: • Increase the "hinterland" and the competitiveness of the ports of Algeciras, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia to improve its connection with the TEN Intermodal. • Leverage the combined transport on the peninsula with direct trains connect the main nodes of the system. • The creation of new scheduled services will favor the emergence of new rail operators under the Community initiative, which will mean a reduction in freight rates and improved quality. • Operational coordination of major ports set to the Dry Port of Madrid Company. The development of joint strategies is enhanced, both for promoting projects of technical harmonization, computer systems, customs clearance, combined transport, etc. as to reach the critical size that allows a better connection of the Spanish network with the European Network, from a perspective of intermodality. • The integration of Dry Port of Madrid within the Logistics Platform Barajas‐Coslada complete intermodal whole, thus becoming the main logistics center of Spain.

Port authorities, terminals, shipping companies, and other stakeholders have joined efforts to improve this sector’s environmental performance. In Spain, the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge has developed a methodology to assess the carbon footprint. This methodology has been adapted to ports and applied to processes under the Port Authority of Valencia’s umbrella achieving scopes 1, 2, and 3. The results highlight that ship traffic, within the port, of containers and cruises (categorized in scope 3) had a major impact on the carbon footprint. Buildings lighting managed by the terminals has a significant effect on scope 2. Diesel consumption shares with gasoline consumption the primary representation in scope 1. The carbon footprint between 2008 and 2016 was maintained, although traffic in the port increased by 24% during this period.

Box 503, 00101 Helsinki, Finland Correspondence to: Sofia I.V. Sousa ([email protected]) Abstract. Marine traffic has been identified as a relevant source of pollutants, which cause known negative effects on air quality. The Iberian Peninsula is a central point in the connection of shipping traffic between the Americas and Africa and the rest of Europe. To estimate the effects of shipping emissions inland and around the Iberian Peninsula, EMEP MSC-W model 15 was run considering and not considering shipping emissions (obtained with STEAM3 model). Total estimated emissions of CO, CO2, SOx, NOx and particulate matter (subdivided in elementary carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), sulphate and ash) for the study domain in 2015 were, respectively, 49 ktonnes y-1, 30000 ktonnes y-1, 360 ktonnes y-1, 710 ktonnes y-1, 4.5 ktonnes -1 -1 -1 -1 y , 11 ktonnes y , 32 ktonnes y and 3.3 ktonnes y . Shipping emissions increased SO2 and NO2 concentrations especially near port areas and also increased the O3, sulphate, and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) concentrations around all over the 20 Iberian Peninsula coastline (especially in the south coastal region).

Betting on competitiveness of Valencia enterprises Introduction: Finally the High Level Group (the HLG) chaired by the Commission Vice President Loyola de Palacio has put forward a report on trans-European Networks, under the title of “ Networks for the peace and Development” whose main conclusions regarding our regional interest are drawn following: 1) Mediterranean corridor, mainly the section from Tarragona towards the South, has no importance for the European Union. 2) In spite of this situation, and on the grounds of the negotiation where the Countries have played an essential role, the UE is going to invest in Spain, and thus, Algeciras-Barcelona axe is one benefited section, using the central corridor from Madrid to Zaragoza, thus binding Lleida with Barcelona. 3) In the end, the Mediterranean corridor has not been granted any major function, despite its importance regarding economic terms, and what is worse; there is a wrong definition on the maritime priorities that disregard our position on the new scenery shaped along the Motorways of the Seas. 4) Taking into account that the last report of Van Miert Group focused on the connections towards the accessing Europe countries, in the title of the new plan 2005, the reference is made to certain concepts such as peace, development and relationships with the Neighbouring countries, to this picture, the Group has undervalued the Mediterranean corridor as a bias for the division of development and cooperation with the North African countries.

  • Port Competition Through Hinterland Accessibility: the Case of Spain
    PORT COMPETITION THROUGH HINTERLAND ACCESSIBILITY: THE CASE OF SPAIN Abstract While immediate port hinterlands remain relatively captive, distant hinterlands are fiercely contested. Where road is the dominant mode, transport costs are a function of distance which is therefore often the key determinant of port choice. Where distance is sufficiently long to enable rail to compete, other factors become important, such as terminal availability and frequency of rail services. Many ports are increasing the use of rail transport to ease port congestion, reduce transport costs or decrease environmental externalities. The question this paper poses is to what extent has the development of inland terminals and container rail shuttles influenced the ability of Spanish ports to compete for distant hinterlands? The paper analyses competition between three major container ports in Spain: Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia. The methodology was based on using GIS to produce a set of maps which identify relationships between the location of the main logistics platforms, the configuration of the terrestrial transport infrastructure and the provincial origin/destination of the maritime container traffic and its inter-port distribution from 2008 to 2013. We use longitudinal data on port shipments from inland regions to investigate the changing spatial distribution of port hinterlands and then we map these changes against road and rail traffic flows, in order to explore if a correlation exists between the market share of ports in contestable hinterlands and the use of rail shuttles to key inland terminals. We find that while some inland terminals have been successful in consolidating traffic on rail services, ports (e.g.
