ECONOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT OF THE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH ROUND TABLE ON TRANSPORT ECONOMICS held in Paris on 10th-11th December 1998 On the following topic: LAND ACCESS TO SEA PORTS EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT (ECMT) The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) is an inter-governmental organisation established by a Protocol signed in Brussels on 17 October 1953. It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more specifically the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. At present, the ECMT’s role primarily consists of: – helping to create an integrated transport system throughout the enlarged Europe that is economically and technically efficient, meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards and takes full account of the social dimension; – helping also to build a bridge between the European Union and the rest of the continent at a political level. The Council of the Conference comprises the Ministers of Transport of 40 full Member countries: Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, FYR Macedonia, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. There are six Associate member countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Republic of Korea and the United States) and two Observer countries (Armenia and Morocco). A Committee of Deputies, composed of senior civil servants representing Ministers, prepares proposals for consideration by the Council of Ministers. The Committee is assisted by working groups, each of which has a specific mandate. The issues currently being studied – on which policy decisions by Ministers will be required – include the development and implementation of a pan-European transport policy; the integration of Central and Eastern European Countries into the European transport market; specific issues relating to transport by rail, road and waterway; combined transport; transport and the environment; the social costs of transport; trends in international transport and infrastructure needs; transport for people with mobility handicaps; road safety; traffic management; road traffic information and new communications technologies. Statistical analyses of trends in traffic and investment are published regularly by the ECMT and provide a clear indication of the situation, on a trimestrial or annual basis, in the transport sector in different European countries. As part of its research activities, the ECMT holds regular Symposia, Seminars and Round Tables on transport economics issues. Their conclusions are considered by the competent organs of the Conference under the authority of the Committee of Deputies and serve as a basis for formulating proposals for policy decisions to be submitted to Ministers. The ECMT’s Documentation Service has extensive information available concerning the transport sector. This information is accessible on the ECMT Internet site. For administrative purposes the ECMT’s Secretariat is attached to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ON LAND ACCESSIBILITY TO SEA PORTS The globalisation of economic activities and the economic integration process in Europe have strengthened the functional role of sea ports within the emerging global transport system. Land accessibility to sea ports has become one of the major concerns of port authorities and public policymakers in Europe, as it is crucial for a port’s competitiveness and for enhancing economic development both in land-locked and coastal regions in Europe. This first section introduces some basic considerations regarding the land access to modern sea ports. 1.1. The functional role of sea ports and the triptych foreland-port-hinterland In very conventional terms, a port is often defined as a transit area, a gateway through which goods and people move from and to the sea. As such, it is a place of contact between land and maritime space, a knot where ocean and inland transport lines meet and intertwine, an intermodal place of convergence (Weigend, 1958, Hayuth, 1985). In the course of time, fundamental changing processes have broadened and deepened the functions of sea ports. In the last fifty years, the major European sea ports added new functions to their traditional role of transhipping and storing goods. After the second world war, the industrial function grew rapidly. Some sea ports have grown out to become industrial complexes comprising a large number of related industrial activities, the so-called MIDAs (Maritime Industrial Development Areas), see, e.g., Winkelmans (1973). In more recent years, the logistical function of sea ports in particular has received much attention. The gateway position of major sea ports offers opportunities for the enhancement of Value-Added

It could be shown that after 1730, trade levels began to expand significantly, probably matching or surpassing all growth rates realized during previous decades, if not centuries. Scotland underwent her own "commercial revolution", yet on terms decidedly different from England. Overseas trade levels tripled between 1700 and 1760. But trade levels remained small, both in comparison to England, as well as in relation to Scotland's national income. Trade was furthermore biased towards the importation and re-exportation of colonial foodstuffs, particularly tobacco. This peculiar Scottish trading pattern was conditioned by the structure of the domestic economy and the inclusion of Scottish ports and merchants into the English commercial empire (Navigation Acts). On the one hand, the Scottish manufacturing base was weak. The domestic economy neither exported particularly large amounts and shares of her production, nor was it heavily reliant upon imports from overseas.Accordingly, average imports of tobacco, sugar and rum from the Americas far outpacedyearly averagedomestic exports of linen, woollen, leather and other manufactures to that region.

  • Development of Instructional Learning Material Based on Competencies for an Inland Waterway Transportation Learning Platform at Bremenports
    Development of instructional learning material based on competencies for an inland waterway transportation learning platform at bremenports Nele Sophie Albers Student number: 352753 IBS Supervisor: Rosalind Gibson Co-marker: Uli Mathies Date: 05.06.2019 Company: bremenports GmbH & Co. KG Wordcount: 14994 Abstract Due to increasing transport volumes in Germany and Europe, the demand for alternative ways of transport is rising. The free capacities on the waterways are not fully exploited partly because students are no longer aware that inland shipping is an alternative. Therefore, this project aims to support bremenports in the development of a learning inventory for logistic students in Germany by identifying competency gaps between the logistics higher education institutions and the industry as part of the #IWTS 2.0 project, co-founded by the EU Commission. To identify possible competence gaps and select suitable learning materials, nine semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with industry and educational professionals. Further, secondary research as curricula, and online databases from the Hanze media library were used. The analysis showed that inland navigation is hardly taught in logistics. Eight competencies were identified that should be taught: Selecting a mode of transport, develop multimodal transport solutions, plan holistic transport concepts, selecting handling technologies, showing environmental awareness, dealing with innovation and digitalisation, and showing endurance. The competencies should be divided into learning
