This project investigated how an advanced electronic system could improve the efficiency of container import and export at Dutch ports by reducing waiting times and administrative burdens. TML used the WorldContainerModel to calculate the effects of cost reduction on container volume at ports and analyse the benefit distribution between the port of Rotterdam and consumers/producers in the Netherlands and abroad.
TNO investigated how an advanced electronic system can improve the efficiency of importing and exporting containers at Dutch ports, both in terms of waiting time and administrative burden. This system combines elements such as e-customs, e-documents, financial services, and track and trace.
Transport & Mobility Leuven calculated the effect of the cost reduction on the volume of containers handled at Dutch ports (of which the port of Rotterdam is the most important) and on the benefit distribution between the port of Rotterdam, Dutch consumers/producers, and foreign consumers/producers.
TML used the World Container Model (WCM) to calculate the impact of this system. The impact is modelled as a reduction in the generalised cost of transshipment at ports, which influences the route choice of global container shippers.
