Promotion of multimodal transport in chemical logistics

PROMOTION OF MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT IN CHEMICAL LOGISTICS

The chemical industry is an important economic sector in Central Europe with 117 billion EUR turnover and 340 000 employees. The chemical companies are important logistic stakeholders responsible for 8 % of freight transport. The industry has the objective to strengthen multimodal transport and modal shift from road to rail with strong focus on improvement of safety and security in combination with increased logistic efficiency. The optimisation of the supply chain is crucial for long-term competitiveness.

Chem Multimodal aims to promote the multimodal transport of chemical goods by coordination and facilitation of cooperation between chemical companies, specialised logistic service providers (LSP), terminal operators and public authorities of chemical regions in Central Europe. Based on a detailed analysis of the current situation and needs for improving multimodal transport of chemical goods, the project will develop and test a toolbox to support chemical companies and LSP in their strategic and operational planning to increase the share of multimodal transport. During the tests the objective is to increase the multimodal transport by 10 % and reduce the CO2 footprint by 5 % until the end of the project duration. Furthermore training seminars will be organized to teach usage of the tool and project partners will develop a Common Strategy and 7 Regional Action Plans to continue and intensify activities after the project end.
