Conference
“The 3rd European Conference and Exhibition on Inland Terminals,” is a 2-day event.
The topics of the conference are such that the whole variety of the target group will benefit:
- The Transport System
Inland hubs may play a vital role in deciding how to develop a sustainable transport system in Europe for years to come.
Is the intermodal system able to cope with the increasing demand for box capacity?
What are the drivers of the inland hub system, and what is their added value?
- Inland Terminals
Inland ports and terminals are vital links in servicing consumer and industry markets.
The development of container traffic on inland waterways: what lessons can be learned?
Case studies.
- Inland Waterways Operators
Barge operators require minimum service levels, yet service levels of inland ports differ. What can be done? Is a transnational initiative required?
The further growth of container volumes, carried by a large number of barges serving a multiple number of locations, poses a threat to the productivity of inland navigation and of the terminals in seaports.
- Rail Transport
Inland hubs have become important transport nodes in some rail networks. What are the underlying strategic reflections?
Some logistics service providers offer frequent rail shuttle services. How do they evaluate the quality of rail transport?
- Business Cases: the formation of intermodal corridors in France
Round Table on the interdependence between the seaports and the hinterland of the Seine valley and the networks of the Port of Marseille and the Port of Valenciennes.
- Investors
More and more property developers are investing in real estate on or next to inland terminals. By doing this, they are shaping the European hub system.
Which are the strategies and considerations of financial investors in intermodal assets?
Speakers are recruited for their practical expertise in various transport modes and in different parts of the supply chain. The conference aims to be highly interactive with a panel discussion at the end of each session. Delegates are encouraged to participate in the discussions.
As the conference attracts delegates from all over Europe and as no country should be favoured, the language of the conference will be English.
