Audi decides on logistics location duisportThe international successful automobile manufacturer Audi will have 800,000 m³ of automobile components exported via the Port of Duisburg in future. For this purpose the duisport Group is buil-ding a new logistics center on the logport II-area for Schnellecke Logistics, the automobile logistics provider commissioned by Audi. The total investment amounts to over 25 million euros.

You will find the ship and train list at the end of this publication in the service pages from now on.

(jh) In future AUDI AG will have automo-bile components handled via the new CKD hub (Completely Knocked Down) in the Port of Duisburg for export primarily to the growth markets China and India. Vehicle parts for the Audi models A4, A6, Q3, Q5 and Q7 will be packed and stuffed in con-tainers as early as late summer 2013. The containers will then be transported to the ports Antwerp and Rotterdam by ship and rail via integrated handling facilities. The duisport Group is developing a comprehen-sive logistics and solution concept for sus-tainable supply and disposal of the logistics center directly on the Rhine. The project also includes developing and building a spe-cially deve-loped property as part of the overall concept.

“Audi is a highly innovative company that we have been able to acquire for Duisburg due to the combination of location advan-tages and our logistics expertise,” said Erich Staake, President and CEO of Duis-burger Hafen AG. “The Audi project con-firms our Full Service approach. Not only do we make tailor-made areas and real estate available, we also combine this offer with flexible transport and other services from our network. We're looking forward to implementing this flagship project of our customer Audi in the Port of Duis-burg.”

Increasing value addedAt the joint press conference representa-tives of the State of NRW also expressed

themselves very positively about the large project. “We are experiencing a very pleasing increase in value added services in the Rhine-Ruhr region with 500 new jobs,“ said NRW Economics Minister Garrelt Duin, commenting on the development in Duisburg. “At the same time, this invest-ment once again proves the top position of North Rhine Westphalia as a logistics loca-tion. Functioning infrastructures interact-ing with innovative services from logistics companies guarantee the competitiveness of our economy. Only a good logistics loca-tion can be a good industrial and trade location,” added Duin.

The location area is optimally situated on the logport II site and trimodally connected to the transport infrastructure.

The internationally successful automobile manufacturer Audi will have 800,000 m³ of automobile components exported via the Port of Duisburg in future. For this purpose the duisport Group is building a new logistics center on the logport II site directly on the Rhine for Schnellecke Logistics, the automobile logistics provider commissioned by Audi. The port operator is also taking over integrated logistics and transport services. The total investment amounts to over 25 million euros. About 500 new jobs will be created by this location on the former Sudamin-MHD site in Duisburg, twice as many as during the times of the smelting works. “duisport is thus asserting itself as a logistics turntable and value added platform for the automotive sector in national competition for the project. The combination of location quality and logistics expertise has been convincing,” enthused Erich Staake, President an CEO of Duisburger Hafen AG.

location North Rhine Westphalia in the decision: “With the winning bid not only duisport is gaining an attractive customer but the whole of NRW is demonstrating the infrastructure qualities of its location. Because alongside factors such as centrali-ty, the availability of skilled labor and tai-lor-made logistics areas, good transport connections have been decisive in select-ing the location: logistics only works where there is outstanding infrastructure. We can find all these basic conditions for an attractive and efficient logistics location in North Rhine Westphalia.”

Those responsible at Audi have also shown themselves to be convinced of the Duisburg location for several reasons: “Due to its infrastructure and logistic net-working the Port of Duisburg meets our expectations for an ideal business and logistics location,” said Dr. Michael Hauf, Head of Brand Logistics at AUDI AG, explaining the choice of location. “In par-ticular, the multi-modal transport solutions correspond to our sustainability considera-tions. They make it possible to raise the transport proportion of rails and inland waterway vessel.”

The automobile logistics provider Schnel-lecke also expressed itself positively: “The Port of Duisburg is satisfying our expecta-tions towards an ideal location for busi-ness and logistics because of its infrastruc-ture and logistical networks,” said Prof. Rolf Schnellecke, Chairman of the Super-visory Board of the Schnellecke Logistics Group. “With this project, in which spa- ring use of resources was given special consideration when defining the process-es, an additional chapter of successful cooperation is opening for Schnellecke. At this point I would like to thank those responsible at AUDI AG most sincerely”.

Integrated transport concept for opti-mally integrating transportsSchnellecke Logistics is locating on logport II on a 106,500 m² plot directly next to the trimodal container terminal “Gateway West”, which has been in existence since 2010. The plot, which was especially con-figured for Audi by duisport, will be developed in two construction stages with a

total hall area of around 53,000 m². The logistics complex is trimodally connected i.e. on the rails, roads and waterways. It will get its own in-house track connection for delivering conventional packed parts by rail. duisport will ensure efficient supply of the containers required for export from the neighboring empty container depot. The duisport Group will also organize conventional goods delivery by rail, the adjacent terminal operations and trans-porting the containers to the sea ports, primarily Antwerp. The transport by ship is equivalent to 13,000 truck movements between Duisburg and the Western ports per year.

duisport is developing an integrated trans-port concept for the delivering truck trans-

ports in cooperation with the City of Duisburg, the State of NRW as well as Schnellecke and Audi. This will be imple-mented on the commissioning of the facili-ty in late summer 2013. It foresees the early integration of the delivering forward-ers and the large-scale signposting of the logport II site on the autobahns around Duisburg. Parking spaces for trucks will also emerge on the logistics site.

After starting full operations about 500 people will be newly employed at the loca-tion – twice as many as during the time of the smelting works. duisport is supporting the in-house service provider Schnellecke Logistics, commissioned by Audi, in look-ing for qualified trade staff and administra-tive workers.

(ek) The Federal State of North Rhine Westphalia has location potential like hardly any region in Europe. Over 150 million people live within a radius of 500 kilometers. This is about one third of all consumers, who make up 45 per cent of the purchasing power in the European Union. 25 per cent of German exports and as much as 29 per cent of imports go through North Rhine Westphalia. The President and CEO of Duisburger Hafen AG, Erich Staake, opened the congress with these impressive figures in his capaci-ty as Co-Moderator of the Initiative Group

Ruhr. The congress attended by the duis-port Group, Düsseldorf Airport, Deutsche Bank and the business newspaper Han-delsblatt participated in addition to the Initiative Group.

Airport boss Christoph Blume provided another figure: the “air traffic hub” Düs-seldorf as an airport for the whole of NRW served an economic area of 20 million inhabitants; in Europe only the conurba-tions around London and Paris were lar- ger. And: “today we have direct flights to all economic regions of the world. Our air-

port is on the map of all large business companies.”

After the cutback of the mining industry and thousands of redundancies, the region seemed to be sliding into disaster at the end of the last century. But far more jobs had been created than were lost in the structural change, emphasized duisport boss Staake in his opening address. Thus the Port of Duisburg had developed into a lead-ing logistics turntable in the last 15 years; more than 40,000 people worked in and around the port business.

The often invoked structural change on the Ruhr has largely been completed from a business point of view. But unrelenting effort is required to keep the region in its economic top spot. This was the conclusion of the congress “Location Advantage NRW. Industry and Logistics – Partners with Perspectives” on September 5 and 6 in Düsseldorf. Top managers and senior politi-cians made it clear there that particularly the perfected interplay of industry and logistics sustainably secures the export ability of the economy.

High location qualities speak for themselvesToday there were hundreds of new indus-trial relocations from around the world in the whole Rhine-Ruhr region because NRW had high location qualities to offer. Other regions affected by the former struc-tural crisis had achieved nowehere near as much. The Port of Duisburg had “changed itself into a logistics hot spot of high standing,” said Bodo Hombach, Moderator of the Initiative Group Ruhr, paying tribute in his address.

“The economy on the Rhine and Ruhr has developed from being two legged, based on coal and steel, into a millipede,” fol-lowed the new NRW Economic Minister Garrelt Duin. And his colleague, State Transport Minister Michael Groschek, used the opening speech for a clear avo- wal of the industrial and logistics location NRW: “Companies and politicians are looking for constructive solutions for the development of the location. It is the intention of the state government to shape the general conditions for this as far as possible.”

Leading representatives of industry are satisfied at what has been achieved. Dr. Klaus Engel, Chairman of the Board of Evonik Industries, said “NRW is outstandingly situated”. The broad diversification of indus-

Karl Gernandt, President of the Adminis-trative Council of Kühne & Nagel Interna-tional AG, greeted the fact that North Rhine Westphalia had continually under-stood itself to be an industrial location and had not withdrawn to the service sector alone. In face of the problems in pushing through large projects, Ulrich Grillo, Chairman of the Board of Grillo-Werke, warned dialog with citizens had to be sought more than before. “We have to take citizens with us,” he emphasized and simultaneously demanded stronger toge- therness between politics and business.

… and where does it go from here?In various discussion rounds numerous top managers from the region busied themselves with the further development of the NRW location. What was clear is that alongside developing the infrastruc-ture, companies were primarily extremely busy with the problem of the energy turn-around. In this connection Dr. Johannes Teyssen, Chairman of the Board of E.ON, criticized the slow planning and authoriza-tion procedure: the question was “how do we get more speed again, more predicta-bility, more reliability in our projects”.

Bernd Tönjes, Chairman of the Board of RAG, pointed out that before the technical implementation of the energy turnaround initially the “target conflict” between

try made the location secure, including in times of crisis, and the high quality of the logistics strengthened competitiveness. “The picture of the Ruhr region has changed,” praised Dr.-Ing. Hans W. Fechner, Spokesman of the Management Board of the Krefeld mechanical engineer Siempelkamp. But you had to take care that you did not become worse. There was competition not only in China but also in South America. Dr. Martin Iffert, Head of the Board of Trimet Aluminum from Essen, pointed to the “very innovative, efficient society” in which – in contrast to other locations – the universities played a large role.

climate and environmental protection on the one hand and the need for affordable energy for citizens and business on the other had to be dealt with. This was a pro-cess for the whole of society that had been underestimated up to now. However: “We cannot afford to fail.” Prof. Dr. Stephan Reimelt, CEO Germany of GE, also criti-cized the German government's quick resolution on the energy turnaround; politi-cians could not simply order something like that; to manage the project successful-ly the potential of industry was needed. In addition, the broad participation of well financed investors was necessary, added Ullrich Reinke, board member of Hochtief Solutions. And they needed lots of stami-na: “Many processes around the energy turnaround, including in logistics, are being done for the first time.” A “steep learning curve” was needed there but we were, for example with offshore wind energy parks, on a good path.

IT more and more important for functio-ning logisticsA highly qualified round of experts busied itself with the question of how the rapid developments in the internet would change the interplay of logistics and indus-try. “A really big wave is coming towards logisticians,” said Prof. Michael ten Hompel, boss of the Fraunhofer Institute of Material Flow and Logistics in Dort-mund. In the face of the growing flood of data and its possibilities “to a certain

extent we will have to leave thinking and communicating to the machines”. The new software world will be particularly needed in logistics.

The round dealt with the new possibilities of cloud computing. Peter Herweck, Chief Strategy Officer Siemens, described the “fundamentally decisive task” of compa-nies to open themselves up to the stan- dardized applications in the clouds. Only when they are widely used could the pro-viders offer their varied benefits at accep- table prices.

But Dr. Winfried Materna, boss of the con-sultancy firm Materna, made it clear that both the technology and the awareness of users were still at the beginning. With the “efficiency cluster logistics” there was a “stroke of luck” of united potential and considerable investment funds. Hagen Rickmann, a senior manager at T-Systems, also observed the “really remarkable effi-ciency of NRW” and referred to the oppor-tunities of the new systems: thus some computer centers were not being built at all because the corresponding services could be easily called up in the internet.

NRW location: Unique interplay of Dax groups and family companiesBoth days of the congress with a good 150 congress participants from business, sci-ence and politics were rounded off by two rhetorical highlights. The Swiss Dr. Ber-

trand Piccard, who prescribed flying exclu-sively with sun energy in the project “Solar impulses”, linked his technical report with thought-provoking, fundamen-tal statements. “Play with the unknown to find new answers,” he said. And demanded “pioneering spirit”: “We have to change the perspective to make progress.”

This was also a message that could be heard from the closing speaker, Friedrich Merz. NRW had great chances to be among the most prosperous regions in the world in two, three decades. But it was threatened by a certain “saturation”. After 50, 60 years of upwards development the location had to take care not to slide into decline like other cultures before it. But Merz greeted the qualities of the industrial location with a unique interplay of large Dax groups and many qualified SMEs. The numerous family companies were a “piece of the culture” of our state.

THE PORTKühne+Nagel duisport magazine December 2012 9

(lw) A total of 185,000 m² of logistics space is currently available to the Kühne+Nagel Group in the Port of Duisburg. The compa-ny is thus impressively demonstrating that the Duisburg location is the heart of the company’s German and Central European location network and its largest transship-ment center worldwide, as Hans-Georg Brinkmann, Chairman of the Board of Kühne+Nagel in Germany made clear. Thanks to the latest developments the com-pany owns 125,000 m² of warehouse space on logport I alone and an additional area of 60,000 m² in the Kaßlerfeld part of the port on the right bank of the Rhine. The main focus in Duisburg is on contract logistics.

Customers and also the whole Kühne+ Nagel network profit from the infrastruc-ture advantages offered by the Port of Duis-burg. From its location in Duisburg the company looks after among others the American technology group Hewlett-Pack-ard, a manufacturer of computers and prin- ters that sells its products worldwide. As an internationally operating logistics service

provider Kühne+Nagel has been investing in the Port of Duisburg since 2003. These investments are being continued with the new logistics center. Kühne+Nagel stores, picks and distributes goods there for the globally active company SC Johnson, a manufacturer of bodycare and cleaning products in the consumer good industry. The goods are processed for markets in Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. The company ships more than 1.6 million pal-lets a year for its customers from the loca-tion in the Port of Duisburg.

The latest expansion once again makes clear the great trust that Klaus-Michael Kühne, Honorary Chairman of the Admin-istrative Board, has in the Duisburg location and in cooperation with the duisport Group. Duisburg's Mayor Sören Link also expressed his thanks to Klaus-Michael Kühne for “the advertisement for Duisburg as a business location” on the occasion of the inauguration.

The duisport Group built the extension of the logistics space for Kühne+Nagel in just

seven months' total construction time turn-key ready for handover. The state-of-the-art logistics center has a hall floor space of 21,000 m² and in addition integrated offices with an area of 900 m². District heat and energy-efficient lighting facilities ensure that the commercial property is equipped in an environmentally friendly manner.

As a result of the commissioning Kühne+ Nagel has created 50 new jobs alongside the existing 750. In addition, the company indicated further possible expansions at the Duisburg location during the opening.

With the logistics center one of the last free plots of land on the logport I site has been built on and thus the area has been almost completely developed. But Erich Staake, President and CEO of Duisburger Hafen AG, was very clear: “In the port area and beyond we offer a variety of other, ideally networked logistics sites, including for large projects. The Port of Duisburg logistics loca-tion can and will grow further.”

With the successful inauguration of the new 22,000 m² logistics center on the logport I site on September 20, 2012 the worldwide operating Kühne+Nagel Group celebrated its fifth expansion to date making the Port of Duisburg the company's largest location and transshipment center.

(dü) duisport packing logistics GmbH (dpl), a subsidiary of Duisburger Hafen AG (duisport), is one of the market leaders in industrial and export packing for the mechanical and engineering sector and develops logistics solutions for worldwide shipping. “Since taking over the company in 2007 and relocating the main activities from Essen to Duisburg in 2010, new cargo quantities have been brought to the Port of Duisburg to a considerable extent, from which shipping has profited the most,” said duisport and dpl President and CEO Erich Staake.

dpl provides individual and effective pack-ing as well as transport services for small parts, dangerous goods or heavy cargo, machinery or complete industrial plants. An IT supported procedure developed in-house

by the company, the so-called batch part system, makes worldwide transparency and control of the goods at any place and any time possible. dpl has a presence at numerous branch offices at clients of plant engi-neering and provides its wide range of ser-vices directly connected to the production of high quality industrial goods.

“The dpl Group of companies with its own operating locations, including in Duisburg, Essen, Chemnitz, Mainhausen, Antwerp and Shanghai, employs approx. 400 people and is currently consistently developing both its international range and portfolio of services,” said dpl Chief Executive Officer Jürgen Albersmann. “dpl has offered its services to German and fo- reign clients in China, where the market for mechanical and engineering products

is growing strongly, since 2008. Due to high client demand dpl opened an addi-tional location in Wuxi in 2011 alongside Shanghai to meet the increasing growth in orders,” said Daniel Conrad, Key Account Manager at dpl in Duisburg and Chief Executive Officer of dpl Shanghai.

According to estimates up to 500 million tonnes of general cargo that cannot be transported in containers due to its dimen-sions travels across the world's seas per year. Instead this cargo has to be laborious-ly packed. A special service that is part of the original daily business of the dpl Group. Every year dpl packs industrial goods volumes worth more than 1 billion euros. dpl has belonged to the duisport Group since January 1, 2007 and contri- butes to strengthening the Duisburg logis-

At the beginning of 2010 duisport packing logistics GmbH (dpl) in the Nordhafen and Heavy Lift Terminal Duisburg (HTD) in the Außenhafen moved into their newly built storage halls, handling facilities and uncovered storage areas. With a broad spectrum of services for international industry and the mechanical and engineering sector, both companies have put a new emphasis on port activities and, together with duisport agency, are ensuring new market opportunities for inland waterways and coastal shipping with more than 160 loads a year.

in industrial logisticstics turntable with its range of services and associated cargo volumes, particularly in the conventional general cargo area. Addi-tional transport volumes are generated cre-ating new potential activities for the handling facilities, service providers and ship-ping lines based in duisport.

The water mode of transport has gained greatly in importance due to the reloca-tionAt the beginning of 2010 the core activi-ties of dpl were moved from Essen to the newly built trimodal facility in Duisburg. The company has three large halls here with a total of 14,500 square meters of space and 35,000 square meters of uncovered storage space. 13 cranes for loads of up to 100 tonnes and various forklift trucks of differing size classes are available for goods handling. The 100 tonne crane can also load inland waterway and coastal shipping vessels. “At our old location in Essen almost everything was transported by truck to the sea ports. Today 80 % of our dispatch items go on the voyage to the sea ports by inland waterway or by short- sea-vessel directly to the assembly sites,” reported Sascha Noreika, Head of Project Forwarding at duisport agency.

A look at the halls and uncovered storage areas shows that the dpl terminal is a highly frequented handling place. The components for complete industrial facilities are collected for engineering clients, either packed imme-diately on site or packed and stored tempo-rarily in Duisburg and then taken from there to the building site precisely according to the assembly schedules. “In this way com-plete factory facilities are sent worldwide via the Port of Duisburg,” reported Noreika. River-going sea vessels are also being used more and more for this purpose, because this often makes direct transport to the building site possible, saving handling costs and risks in the sea ports.

The dpl range of services for industry is ideally supplemented by the trimodal Heavylift Terminal Duisburg (HTD) in the Außenhafen, which also came into service in 2010. On a plot of nearly 15,000 square meters there is a heavy goods hall with an overhead crane measuring 54.00

meters long and 37.00 meters wide. The hall has 2,000 square meters for storing, handling, assembling and packing as well as for trimodal handling of heavy cargo and large volume general cargo. Its gantry crane with a capacity of up to 250 tonnes also serves the individual modes of trans-port in addition to the hall. Two overhead mobile cranes with a height under hook of 13.5 meters travel on the crane track. An overhead mobile crane is utilized as a working crane with a hoist of 25 tonnes lifting capacity. The heavy load crane is equipped with two drives with 125 tonnes lifting capacity each that can move 250 tonnes over the rails or water in combina-tion hub. In addition, next to the building there is a heavy load platform on which the mobile crane can be optimally placed. Thus at HTD goods of up to 500 tonnes overall weight can be loaded in tandem hub. A large part of the components delivered come by rail to the port.

Complete plant logistics is available“Due to decades of lack of investment in the road and rail infrastructure there are more and more frequently load capacity downgrades on autobahn bridges and heavy load routes in the rail network. These hinder heavy transport or make it possible only with long diversions. So that heavy industry in the hinterland is not cut off from its export markets we offer these clients the possibility to deliver individual components with low piece weights to the

HTD Terminal. These are then assembled here on site into large items by the compa-ny's own specialists,” said HTD Terminal head Stefan Hütten. For this purpose all the plant logistics are available - from elec-tricity and compressed air connections throughout the hall for assembly tools up to office and staff facilities for the client's specialist staff. “On request we make our own staff available to duisport, e. g. to sup-port assembly, and we look after just-in-time deliveries down to the smallest screw as well as the packing and temporary storage of heavy items, if they will be shipped later,” said Hütten.

“In cooperation with shipping lines and other logistics service providers based in the port, duisport agency ensures the pro-vision of qualified transport logistics including heavy transport by inland water-way vessel or by coastal motor vessel directly to the vicinity of the later assem-bly sites. In doing so neutrality towards the projects and project partners of the cli-ent is guaranteed by HTD at all times so that confidential information does not leak outwards at any point,” assured Noreika and Hütten. HTD can process inland waterway vessels, coastal motor vessels and heavy load pontoons up to 18.80 meters wide.

Of course, the heavy goods terminal in Duisburg is not only used for export loa-ding but also for incoming heavy items.

purpose we use the reliable services pro-vided by the transport companies and shipping lines based in the Port of Duis-burg and make an active contribution to moving traffic onto the environmentally friendly mode of transport ship and to securing Germany as an industrial loca-tion.

Thus in 2011 a lifeboat from the German Lifeboat Institution was loaded at HTD. The ship floated on its own keel over the sea and the Lower Rhine to Duisburg, was placed on a heavy goods pontoon using HTD cranes and was transported to the Museum of Technology in Speyer in this way.

All-round logistics range meets reliable qualityThe varied range of services offered by HTD at the Duisburg location has been well received by the industrial clientele. “After just two years the HTD Terminal is so well utilized that serious thought is being given to a second development level with a considerable expansion of capaci-ties,” reported Stefan Hütten, authorized signatory at dpa and HTD.

The Duisburg dpl and HTD Terminals are both ISPS and AEO certified and thus meet all security and customs require-ments. For Duisburg's port boss Erich Staake the success of dpl and HTD has not come out of the blue: “With the all-round logistics range from both companies we are meeting the trend of modern industrial services exactly. As the export world champion and a leading provider in the mechanical and engineering sector, Ger-many needs reliable logistics concepts that guarantee proper and punctual delivery of export goods to the world market. In Duisburg, with dpl and HTD we have not only the technical and infrastructure con-ditions to guarantee reliable handling and qualified packing of industrial goods, but also experienced staff to plan and carry out worldwide transport logistics.

berg district of Duisburg in spring 2013. Despite the current weakening in world growth it can be assumed that the Port of Duisburg will be able to maintain its out-standing position in the TOP 100 Contai- ner Ports in 2013.

The “Top 100 Container Ports” ranking is prepared on the basis of the handling figures reported in annual financial state-ments by the trade journal “Containerisa-tion International”.

Port of Duisburg in 51st place of the largest container ports in the world

(jb) In the current edition of the TOP 100 Container Ports 2012, the Port of Duis-burg is in 51st place of the leading 100 container ports. As the only inland port among the largest container ports, Duis-burg has thus been able to consolidate its position as the largest container port in the hinterland in the world and even further build on this. Of the TOP 10 in Northern Europe Duisburg is now in Place 6 behind Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Bremer-haven and Felixstowe (UK). This positive development development will be driven further forward by the commissioning of the ninth container terminal logport III, a bi-modal CT terminal in the Hohenbud-

(gran) “From January 1, 2013 we will be represented with our own subsidiary in Pune near Mumbai,” announced the presi-dent and CEO of duisport-Group Erich Staake. dpl India will thus take its place in the so-called “German Triangle” around the West Indian business metropolis. Many German companies have located there with their own plants and representatives. For this purpose dpl's parent com-pany Duisburger Hafen AG has contracted a strategic partnership with an Indian logistics services provider, which, as a spe-

cialist in heavy cargo and project logistics, is represented at over 30 locations in the sub-continent's business cities.

”dpl India is thus the first internationally oriented packing services provider in the export business in India,” said Jürgen Albersmann, Chief Executive Officer of dpl GmbH and the project manager responsible, also highlighting the signifi-cance of the start-up. The aim of the coop-eration, according to Albersmann, was to offer packing and transport from one

source. dpl already has a foothold in Asia and maintains branches in Wuxi and Shanghai in China.

duisport packing logistics is a subsidiary of Duisburger Hafen AG. With around 300 employees the company achieves sales of around 65 million euros a year in the Group and ideally supplements the port corporation in the export oriented mechanical and engineering segment.

Duisburger Hafen AG develops its range of packing services in Asia. After China the duisport packing logistics (dpl) subsidiary is opening a branch in India.

duisport packing logistics goes to India

The logistics sector has been among the most dynamic business areas in India for years. According to a study by Frost & Sullivan, logistics companies have recently posted a growth plus of nearly ten per cent to US$ 82 billion. By 2020 sales will more than double to US$ 200 billion. But this greatly depends on suc-cessfully developing and building up the infrastructure. Because India has a huge

India's logistics sectoramount of catching up to do here. Not only in transport routes, ports and airports. The sector is also reaching its limits in storage capacities too.

Therefore in comparison with Dubai and Singapore or Bangkok and Hong Kong, India still plays a somewhat minor role as an international logistics turntable. The twelve main ports on the West and East

coasts are seen as the most important turntables, including Mumbai.

The logistics sector is still dominated by small and micro-businesses that achieve around 90 per cent of total sales. Accor- ding to a study by KPMG the twenty largest companies have a market share of two per cent.

The World Finance Awards were intro-duced in 2007 especially to honor extraor-dinarily successful and innovative projects. Every year outstanding companies and important personalities, who have set worldwide benchmarks in their fields, receive awards in various categories. As part of the Finance Infrastructure Awards, duisport was identified as a best practice example. In the category “Best Port Deve- lopment”, duisport was able to come out on top in the end against the other nomi-nated ports London, Aqaba (Jordan) and Gothenburg. The winners were selected by an independent commission of experts.

(dü) Trans Eurasia Logistics (TEL) was founded as a joint venture by DB AG and Russian Railways RZD in March 2008 to develop and market reliable transport ser-vices for containers by rail between Cen-tral Europe, Russia and Asia. TEL has offices in Berlin, Moscow and Beijing. The duisport subsidiary duisport agency acts both as a service provider and a customer for TEL in the Rhine-Ruhr area. TEL has a wide range of logistics services used almost exclusively by well-known for-warders, logistics companies and shipping lines. For this purpose TEL plans the routes, buys the transport services from the various rail companies on the basis of fixed contracts, coordinates the different cultures of the participating rail compa-nies, maintains its own production plat-forms, looks after rapid customs and trans-port processing and ensures high transport

security. ”A reliable transport range has emerged that can be booked as easily as an airline ticket can today. The customer doesn’t notice any difference in the opera-tional processing in comparison with sea transport,” noted Nicolai Noeckler, Head of APEC (AsiaPacificEconomyCoopera-tion) at TEL.

The prices per box are set three times a year after negotiations with the transport partners, guaranteeing the customer maxi-mum budget planning security in compari-son with other types of transport. Twenty and forty foot standard boxes are trans-ported all year round as well as high cube and pallet wide containers.

TEL offers its transport solutions using the existing rail network from all European terminals and branch lines via the gate-

ways Duisburg, Grossbeeren and Malasze-wicze/Brest to Russian and Central Asian terminals and rail stations and back again.The established service for a quick rail connection to Moscow, the ‘Moscovite’ is based on this system. For example, con-tainers can be shipped from Duisburg to Malaszewicze twice a week. The compa-ny’s own block trains with a capacity of up to 80 TEU reach the Polish border cro- ssing within 48 hours. There trains are transshipped onto Russian wide gauge equipment and, after completing customs formalities, the journey from Brest conti- nues on the fourth day to Moscow, where the containers are delivered to the cus-tomer on the seventh day. The trains can carry up to 120 TEU on the Russian wide gauge. In addition, from Brest it is possible to accept extra quantities from other Euro-pean shipping locations for direct forwar-

In addition to the reasonably priced but time consuming sea route and quick and expensive air freight there has also been a reliable range of rail logistics services between Central Europe and Asia for a few years. Several trains shuttle weekly between Duisburg on several routes and stops in Russia, the CIS states and China. And rail logistics within Asia and their con-nection by ship to other destinations in Arabia and South Asia to the US West Coast and Canada can also be booked via duisport agency.

ding to Moscow. Since its introduction the ‘Moscovite’ has recorded increasing cus-tomer demand and Andre Hempel, responsible for Sales and Marketing at TEL, is very satisfied with the successful development of the product.

With the “New Silk Road” service TEL has another basic product that travels every Friday from Chongqing in China via Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Poland to Duisburg. The TEL block train needs 18 days for the route and a fixed booking can be made by the customer. The containers are handled onto Russian wide gauge trains at the Chinese/Kazakh border at Dostyk/Alashankou and onto standard gauge trains in Brest. Volume groupage currently runs in the opposite direction to create a regular train connection

The third basic product runs as the “Tiger Train” along the Trans-Siberian route. Transport possibilities are offered for single containers that are transported by a shut-tle train from Duisburg to Malaszewicze. From there they are carried daily by the TEL partner rail companies to Russian, CIS and Chinese destinations. This product is also available for westbound traffic.

From Brest Russian wide gauge trains with up to 120 standard boxes travel via Mos-cow, Yekaterinburg and Irkutsk to the Rus-sian/Chinese border station Zabaikalsk/Manzhouli. The boxes are transshipped onto Chinese equipment here, from where numerous Chinese stations can be reached in addition to Beijing. “We have high demand for these routes and can operate them with maximum efficiency and sustainability for our customers,” according to Boris Borisov, Managing Director of TEL Moscow.

The basic products and line train services are supplemented by the “China-Russia MultiNet”. With this new service product TEL is offering its customers the transport of single containers or container groups within Russia and China as well as between both countries to more than 40

destinations on more than 400 routes. The transports, with a five day advance booking time, are organized by the TEL offices in Moscow and Beijing on the basis of the existing close business relations with the participating rail companies. This network within Asia is served via the Chi-nese ports Shanghai, Tianjin and Lianyun-gang by seagoing vessels in the “Central Asia Express”. Worldwide destinations can thus be connected easily.

Alongside organizing company-specific block train connections, the daily booking of individual containers on regular block trains between Europe, the CIS states and China, TEL also offers bookings for trans-porting single containers throughout the whole network of the participating rail companies.

A decisive advantage of the TEL logistics range compared with land transport by truck is the reliable transport time, the sig-nificantly better CO2 balance and the high transport security. All terminals served by TEL are ISPS certified and during rail transport the containers are loaded door to door so they cannot be opened en route. “Of course, during land transport our con-tainers cannot sink and the physical stress on the load is significantly less during land transport due to the lack of waves,” said Nicolai Noeckler, who is a qualified sea

transport specialist and knows what he is talking about. “The rail companies we use ensure high quality accompaniment of the transports in their own interests so we have a transport damage rate of almost zero compared to sea transport.” TEL transported 13,000 TEU in 2011. “Thus we are still a niche product with a specific profile and transport time advantages. But we are expanding further and expect growth of around 20% in 2012 to 16,000 TEU,” concluded Andre Hempel.www.trans-eurasia-logistics.com/

(gran) “Our expectations in Duisburg have been met in full,” said Jochen Till-mann, Distribution Director DACH of Johnson & Johnson GmbH based in Neuss. DACH stands for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Previously the German con-sumer goods division of the US manufac-turer of chemist’s and OTC products had processed its logistics from a warehouse in Unna. Around 1,200 pallets are handled daily in Duisburg for Johnson & Johnson in logport in Duisburg-Rheinhausen.

That products such as Listerine, Penaten and Compeed are available to retail cus-tomers and leave the warehouse punctual-ly is thanks to a logistics concept prepared together with the operator and owner of the warehouse, the worldwide operating logistics group Kühne+Nagel (K+N). “The flexible warehouse layout combined with generously sized handling areas makes it

possible for us to process volume fluctua-tions and customer needs reliably, thus raising the degree of service,” said Till-mann. He added that the level of provi-sioning of the logistic center was almost 100 per cent and the product was at the customer's in the warehouse as early as three days after receiving the order.

After a successful start productivity will now be optimized“After one year in Duisburg and the con-clusion of the start-up phase we now want to consider together with K+N how we can improve productivity further without impairing service,” said Tillmann. In addi-tion, Johnson & Johnson wants to intensify the dialog with the customer to tap joint improvement potential, for example in the issues of order behavior and picking. Dis-tribution cooperation is not taboo either, for example in the issue of cooperative

planning and also transport pooling. “But we're right at the beginning here,” said Tillmann.

Just over a year ago Johnson & Johnson reorganized its distribution logistics for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A total of three warehouses were counted in Ger-many, Belgium and Switzerland. Johnson & Johnson limited itself to managing the logistics. Logistics service providers do the work. For this reasons Johnson & Johnson changed its service provider and ware-house location in 2011. Previously the Deutsche Post subsidiary DHL was the logistics partner, most recently in the DHL warehouse in Unna. In 2011 these activi-ties were moved to Duisburg in the K+N warehouse in logport. “Kühne+Nagel is one of the strategic suppliers of Johnson & Johnson worldwide,” said Tillmann.

Not only the trimodal connection in logport but also the approximately 6,000 m² of extra warehouse space was a decisive factor in the selection of the new

ny Mars based in Viersen in 2007. “We do not see distribution as a core compe-tence and therefore leave this to expert partners.” In addition, this also made high-er flexibility possible, because the product portfolio could change, through acquisi-tions, for example. Tillmann mentioned the costs and capital advantages as further benefits, because the company did not need its own real estate or facilities and the costs are volume dependent, which in turn made them more predictable.

Johnson & Johnson GmbH is responsible for the Consumer Health Care Division of the group in Germany. This includes brand products such as tampons (o.b.), creams (Penaten) and mouthwashes (Lis-terine). It employs around 770 people. The company does not provide any infor-mation on its sales in Germany. World-wide the group has sales of $ 65 bn with 114,000 employees in 57 countries.

“We needed a higher throughput for demand peaks,” explained Tillmann, justi-fying the change. He continued that the flexibility of the warehouse systems had been significantly improved by simultane-ous use by companies in other sectors in a campus concept. In Unna Johnson & John-son shared the warehouse with other companies from the same sector. Admit-tedly there had been synergies in transport because some customers were the same. But they had also been affected by the same economic cycle or sales-related delivery fluctuations. “Capacity problems were thus exacerbated,” said Tillmann. He added that due to combination with com-panies from other sectors with different sales cycles there was a certain balance in fluctuations in warehouse use.

More possibilities due to trimodal connectionsThe warehouse area was also expanded by the move. Johnson & Johnson now has over 42,000 m² of space in Duisburg, nearly 6,000 m² more than in Unna. Thus there is more space for handling the goods, such as for packing and repacking. “Now we have more possibilities to pre-pare loads in advance or process customer-specific special services, for example,” said Tillmann. Work is usually carried out in two shifts. He stated there were 44,000 pallet positions.

In Tillman's opinion an important advan-tage of the Duisburg location was the tri-

modal connection. About 40 per cent of the deliveries are made by rail, the rest by truck. Around 50 trucks per day are counted on the ramps. “We're currently checking whether we can also use the port or inland waterway vessels for con-tainer deliveries from overseas, for exam-ple,“ said Tillmann.

“We have relied on cooperating with logis-tics service providers for a few years,” explained Tillmann, who came to Johnson & Johnson from the confectionery compa-

THE PORT18 duisport magazine December 2012 Excursion Ruhr region

(jb) The economic support organization metropoleruhr, the Chambers of Industry and Commerce in the Ruhr region and the Initiative Group Ruhr had invited the Par-liamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Transport, Enak Ferlemann, State Transport Minister Michael Gro-schek and members of the Transport Com-mittee in the German Bundestag to see the transport situation and infrastructure on the Ruhr for themselves. The back-ground was the conspicuous backlog in maintaining and developing the roads, rails and waterways as well as deficits in the light railway and tram network. The initiators demanded a clear increase in investment funds from the Federal govern-ment for the heavily utilized transport sys-tem in the Ruhr metropolitan region.

In order to retain and develop the trans-port infrastructure in Germany the national budget allocation had to increase from

11 to 15 bn euros in 2015, according to State Secretary Ferlemann. He continued that because such a budget increase was

unrealistic priority projects had to be agreed. Integrated concepts were neces-sary for successful implementation here.

As part of an excursion throughout the Ruhr region business representatives, State Transport Minister Groschek, State Secreta-ry Ferlemann and national politicians demonstrated the backlog in the transport infrastructure in NRW. The first stage in this day-long excursion took place in the Port of Duisburg. Erich Staake, President and CEO of Duisburger Hafen AG and Co-mode-rator of the Initiative Group Ruhr, spoke in favor of better transport links for the port and for an integrated approach to invest-ment policy.

“In NRW we're now living off the reserves of our transport infrastructure. So it's all the more important that support funds from the Federal government flow in a tar-geted manner to the economically stron- gest regions so the industrial location NRW can be secured long term,” under-lined Staake.

“Value creating logistics requires an inte-grated approach. Value will only win through if there is a concept behind it,” emphasized Erich Staake as well in his presentation in front of Minister Groschek and State Secretary Ferlemann, as he simultaneously pointed to the successful logport project. “In the last 15 years we have marketed around 450 ha and today we have two million m2 of covered hall space in the Port of Duisburg. Without an integrated concept this would never have been possible,” according to Staake.

The first results of a study commissioned by the initiators show that at 43.5 million

ment and have acquired two new reach stackers,” said Ralf Jahnke. The trimodal terminal in logport I is one of the most modern in the Port of Duisburg and has

the largest gantry crane in the European hinterland.

Another specialty is the shareholder struc-ture. D3T is the only terminal in the Port of Duisburg owned by shipping lines and is used exclusively by CMA CGM and NYK.

With such news full of expectations it was an honor for Heiko Rumfeld, a Member of the Management Board of the duisport subsidiary duisport agency GmbH and a representative of the shareholder, to receive the two new reach stackers at the end of August together with Ralf Jahnke. “Such an investment really makes sense – because it means not only keeping the existing level but also creating the ideal conditions for further growth,” explained Heiko Rumfeld at the meeting.

tonnes/km in 2025 in the Ruhr metropo-lis on rails, roads and water, the quantity of goods transported will be higher than in any other urban area in Germany. More than 35 % of autobahn routes in the Ruhr region are heavily utilized. In comparison regions this proportion is significantly lower (e.g. Stuttgart region: 17 %). Where the distribution of funds is concerned there is a very different picture: the com-parable areas obviously do much better than the heavily trafficed Ruhr region. Investigation results here indicated that investments in the transport infrastructure of the Ruhr region also benefit nationally

NETWORKING20 duisport magazine December 2012 Marco Polo

(jb) The Marco Polo support programme from the EU has been encouraging a shift in goods transport to short sea vessels, inland waterways and the railroad since 2003. The background to the Marco Polo programme is the high transport volumes on Europe‘s roads, which have considera-ble effects on the environment and on citi-zens’ health. In addition, overburdened roads and high consequential costs for environmental damage are having increas-ingly negative effects on the development of the European economy.

Variety of eligible projectsThe European Commission is thus sup-

porting international projects from the transport sector and shipping business as part of a varied area of programmes. Actions to transfer transports (modal shift) are intended to shift goods transport from the roads to more environmentally friend-ly alternatives such as the rails, sea or inland waterway routes. Technology based projects, so-called catalytic actions, are intended to promote innovative solution approaches to increase efficiency and thus make transport away from the roads easier. These include common technical standards for various transport systems and types of transport, integrated freight con-trols via GPS or state-of-the-art guidance

systems. Traffic reduction campaigns con-tribute to reducing goods transports by improved logistics and more efficient prac-tices. This includes, for example, improved logistics along the supply chain and avoiding empty transports. The so-called motorways of the sea are being sup-ported to achieve greater use of short sea shipping in connection with other types of transport. These include, for example, innovative and intermodal projects that shift large volumes of goods from trucks onto ships. Finally, common learning actions are intended to promote coopera-tion and knowledge transfers in the trans-port and logistics sector.

Marco Polo - EU supports sustainable transp

The European support programme “Marco Polo” is intended to produce a rethink in goods transport: away from the roads and toward alternative, environmentally friendly modes of transport. The European Commission is making about 60 million euros a year available to do this.

Supported projects are subject to strict selection criteria A successful Marco Polo project is prece- ded by an application and selection proce-dure lasting many months. It must be decidedly proved that the project applied for will de facto shift goods to alternative modes of transport. The application has to include business plans, statistical evalua-tions, societal formal obligations and the effects of the project on already existing alternative transport routes. The project route has to go through at least two coun-tries, one of which has to be a member state of the EU. Because the EU does not support for-profit projects, a loss has to be shown for the first few years, but the pro-ject should sustain itself in the long term. The amount of the EU grant is oriented on the number of tonne kilometers that will be shifted from the roads to other modes of transport, or in accordance with the number of vehicle kilometers that will be saved on the roads. When evaluating the actions submitted the Commission takes into account the contribution of the action to reducing overburdening in road trans-port and also its contribution to the respective environmental benefits and its general sustainability. The EU’S financial aid for the various actions is restricted to 35% of the total amount of the tasks required to reach the targets. This maxi-mum limit is 50% for the common learning actions.

Marco Polo I and IIThe first Marco Polo support programme ran from 2003 – 2007 and its central transport policy concern was shifting road transport to more environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as rail and ships. The funding for Marco Polo I amounted to about 100 million euros for the total sup-port period. From 2003 to 2008 over 100 projects throughout Europe with almost 420 participating companies were support-ed. Due to the positive response the EU launched the successor programme Marco Polo II. Marco Polo II, which encompasses the period 2007 – 2013 and a budget of about 450 million euros, is an expanded version of the first programme from 2003, which received too many applications and was simultaneously provided with too lit-

tle funding. In 2012 alone there is sup-port money of 64 million euros available to Marco Polo II. The deadline for submit-ting applications is October 19. In addition to reducing road transport volumes, the EU Commission expects ecological, finan-cial and social benefits worth over a billion euros from the projects supported by Marco Polo II.

Future of Marco Polo after 2013The European Commission also wants to make money available after 2013 to shift transports from the roads to alternative modes of transport. In future it is intended that funds will be tied closer to innovation and the use of green technology. The financial basis of the new support pro-gramme will be the so-called Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), with which the European Commission wants to close gaps in the Trans-European Networks (TEN-T). Whether from this a similar budget to that available to the Marco Polo II programme, which ends in 2013, will emerge is still unclear – the Commission is presenting its proposal in the third quarter of 2012. It is intended that the new programme should definitely reduce the often criticized bureaucratic effort involved in Marco Polo. This is intended to encourage small and medium sized enterprises in particular to participate in future tenders.

Overall it can thus be said that Marco Polo is a complex, but very rewarding EU pro-ject. Furthermore, an intermodal, multi-purpose port like the Port of Duisburg can only profit from a strengthening of alterna-tive modes of transport.

NETWORKING22 duisport magazine December 2012 duisport client trip 2012

(dü) The logistics sector has developed strongly in parallel with Turkey's continu-ally growing export trade in the past 20 years. With professionalism demand for good services and high quality handling facilities and storage spaces has also increased. In 2010 trade volumes reached 240 billion euros, in 2011 these stood at 300 billion euros. By 2014 growth to 350 billion euros is expected, whereby the logistics sector should grow by around 8%.

The reasons for this development are a fast growing economy, stable long term politi-cal conditions and considerable invest-ments in the infrastructure, which will also be continued in future. “Turkey's geo-graphical position, with her bridge role between Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, is the ideal pre-condition for developing a significant international logis-tics hub,” said duisport boss Erich Staake,

justifying the selection of this year's desti-nation. He continued that a further growth driver of the Turkish logistics mar-ket was the strong growth in container traffic in the large sea ports around Istan-bul, which made up a volume of 4.5 mil-lion TEU in 2010.

13.1 million inhabitants mean that Istan-bul is the most populous city in Turkey and it is the center for culture, trade, finance and the media. With two large air-ports, two trade ports and pronounced ship traffic Istanbul forms one of the coun-try's largest transport nodes.

duisport presents itself as a European service center in IstanbulAs usual the trip served to present the Port of Duisburg and the companies active there. For this purpose a conference took place in the Hotel Marmara on September

14 for those interested from Turkish busi-ness and the logistics sector. Erich Staake showed Duisburg's development from a regional supply port into a European ser-vices center and a hub for intermodal transports in the most important economic region in Europe, the Rhine-Ruhr region. Staake pointed to the continually growing trade volumes between Turkey and Ger-many, which in 2011 reached around 14 billion euros in export and 23 billion euros in import and a total of 37 billion euros. He added that there were already two established combined train connections between Duisburg and Istanbul. Further-more, German and Turkish companies with direct truck traffic and logistics ser-vices were active at both locations.

INVESTIGATION24 duisport magazine December 2012 Sustainability

(frön) But the term is neither new nor clearly defined “There has been a long international discussion since the 70s, which as a result of the environmental conference in Rio in 1992 has also arrived in German-speaking countries,” explained Dr. Johannes Reidel. He is the coordinator of the “Centre for Responsibil ity Research” in the Kulturwissenschaftlichen Institut (KWI) in Essen.

Today, discussion “only” concerns the tar-get of “sustainability”: “It is more impor-tant to shape sustainable development and thus a change process. It is all about a transformation of (world) society: we have reached the point at which we have iden-tified serious global problems. If we do not address these we will march in a direction that will so restrict us and, above all fo-

llowing generations, in our possible actions in a manner that we cannot sensi-bly want.”

Sustainable development relates to the most varied problems. “Mostly experts talk about integrating ecological, social and economic dimensions,” continued Reidel, “meaning specific actions that also bring ecological necessities into harmony with societal requirements and economic wisdom.”

He named climate change as the most serious problem, which could massively influence the living conditions of many people worldwide and also in Germany in the coming decades. Many experts are now convinced that climate change will have an effect as an accelerating factor and

(risk) re-enforcer. This is because it will impose additional burdens on people in precisely those regions in the world in which poverty, violence, injustice and social uncertainty already predominate.

Lower costs through less consumption also means more profitGlobal and indisputably serious possible consequences, but what do they mean for German business people, in the logistics sector, for example? Reidel explained, for example, it could be expected that fuel costs will rise further. Not just due to the shortage of resources and corresponding developments in the market, but also due to increasing climate policy interventions, such as emissions trading. “Fuel costs,” continued the Essener, “influenced not only my profit margins really directly, but

Hardly any buzzword has been used in such an inflationary manner for some time as sustainability. Almost every sector, from baby food through financial products and DIY articles up to optionally clockwise or anti-clockwise rotating yoghurt cultures are – allegedly – sustainable.

The journey is the destination for sustainaProtecting the environment and minimizing costs together –

also under some circumstances, whether I am competitive with my range compared to other modes of transport.“ Considered over a longer perspective this could also have far reaching consequences: if global production processes are not further dis-persed due to rising transport costs, but in a reversal of the last few decades are regionally bundled again.

He said an important strategy was increasing efficiency, which can be docked onto the existing economic system without problems. Lower costs through less con-sumption also means more profit. And an exact figure can be put on this in euros and cents. “The possibilities of saving fuel in a vehicle fleet have to be taken into account, for example: from aerodynamics and rolling resistance through engine tech-nology up to alternative fuels,” argued the scientist. But said it had to be borne in mind that: “To implement such potential I have to make a down payment. This means taking a longer time perspective related to accounting, because invest-ments may only pay off after five or six years instead of in two or three years,” he added, indicating the complexity of the issue. Alongside technical changes directly to the vehicle there are numerous other possibili-ties, such as driver training, to train tru- ckers in resources saving driving behavior. There is also professional IT supported route planning to increase capacity utiliza-tion and avoid empty running and, and, and.

In addition to business administration components he appealed that the focus on ecological and societal factors is not lost: “In accordance with the current state of science, climate and environmental researchers are demanding a reduction in resources by 80 to 90 per cent by 2050 is needed on the basis of 1990 consumption. This alone is an immense challenge. At the same time an increase in freight trans-port volumes of up to 100 per cent is expected in the same period. An enor-mous gap is yawning here.”

We are all responsibleThis growing divergence cannot be pre-vented by increases in efficiency alone. This could only be solved by common efforts by all participants – politicians and public authorities but also by companies and every single citizen. “Every one of us has to and can take a position, say what is my contribution to solving the problems,“ he warned in view of the challenges of apathy.

Therefore in public discussion terms such as Citizen Responsibility and Consumer Responsibility are being used – the respon-sibility that every citizen or consumer had. “For example, if I order something I want from an online retailer, like a book, I've got it on my desk tomorrow. But it's not usually clear to me what an immense logistical effort I trigger with my mouse click for something that may lie unread for two weeks.”

An increasingly important solution strate-gy is described by the term “sufficiency”. This concerns “sensible demand restric-tions”, because doubts are growing that everything can always go ever higher, fur-ther, faster and thus automatically better too. As a result it was a target, for example to slow acceleration that had been conti- nuous up to now, to “decelerate”. The large container lines have gone over to this – at least during the economic crisis – not sending overseas transports at top speed any more but sending them on their way with a significantly reduced pace. This saves fuel costs and simultaneously reduces emissions.

“The additional degree of acceleration forced for years actually produces a bur-den that is not absolutely necessary,” summed up Reidel. However, in discussion with logisticians he also experienced it was naive to think you could brake global transport flows. The pressure was sim-ply too high. A judgment he does not want to put up with. “Therefore we are holding worldwide discussions about growth and its consequences.”

Sustainably acting companies are not just economically successfulA discussion from which the logistics sec-tor could also profit in other respects: in the face of the looming shortage of skilled labor due to demographic change, beside salary, factors such as social prestige and the “feel-good factor” would increasingly play a role in job searches. “And there a sustainable company in a responsible sec-tor has significantly better chances.”

He recommended companies should ini-tially take structural decisions, such as duisport appointing a sustainability officer. They could then find allies in the compa-ny, such as the Sustainability Council, whose members give thought to issues vicariously. Together targets could be set and implementation possibilities could be looked for, pathways tried and definite first successes posted - including monetary suc-cess. “Of course barriers will appear again and again during implementation and the willing will come up against structures that are currently difficult to change or only with a lot of effort. Then it is less helpful to want to put your head through the wall. The target has to be acting con-tinually and consistently.

bilityan interview with Dr. Johannes Reidel from KWI in Essen

(frön) The logistician initially founded his company in Düsseldorf in 1992 – as a purely forwarding business without its own trucks. It was a customer wish that their partner should also offer logistics ser-vices that led to a first reorientation. Topal and his team, according to the order, could also store, mix and refill the magne-sium products carried. And in view of the special requirements made by the project that could not be met at the Düsseldorf location, the 51 year old manager initially found a site in Ratingen in his search for a new place of business. The freight, mostly originating from the Far East, was brought here by container from Rotterdam and the other sea ports, unloaded, customs cleared and filled into silos to finally be delivered within Germany according to the customer's specification as a forwarder with chartered trucks.

“At that time we had assumed we would handle 100 to 120 tonnes a month,” remembers the Chief Executive Officer. But traffic quickly rose to four times the expected quantity. And other customers also noticed what was on offer.

Convincing infrastructureAt the end of 2003 Topal got to know some employees of the Port of Duisburg, who drew his attention to the logport location. This not only offered sufficient free space: “We took a closer look at the area then and found out that the infra-structure in the port and particularly on logport was and is very good.” And in par-ticular it was offering transport of overseas containers from the ZARA ports by rail or barge instead of by truck, as before. But the outstanding road connections for final deliveries to the various customers

throughout the country convinced. ”That saves the customer money and is a gain for the environment,” is the simple and convincing calculation.

And also a win-win-win situation for the young company: “We're in the best neigh-borhood with other forwarding companies on the logport site as well as with some large logistics chains. Not only orders could come from this, we hoped, we're also in the best neighborhood.”

From the various possibilities Topal decided on an area of 6,000 m² on which a 2,000 m² warehouse with high bay racking and additionally a 400 m² hall spe-cially equipped for magnesium products stand. Construction work began in Sep-tember 2004 and the forwarder moved in as early as the following May. The high

A move with positive results

The move to the logport site in 2005 was the key to success for Mates Speditions GmbH: The nine strong team around Chief Exe-cutive Officer Ilhan Topal offers national and international logistics services and truck transports at Marseiller Strasse 18. With growing success: the new Duisburgers now have branches in Turkey and the Netherlands, where more than 20 further emplo-yees meet customer wishes.

expectations were quickly met and within the shortest time it was possible to expand the customer base. Thus the team stored packaging materials for food for a compa-ny from Bavaria for two years: plastic dish-es. The customer has since expanded its production so much and has found addi-tional purchasers so that the storage capacity and possibilities of the Duisburgers were no longer sufficient. ”But they stayed in the city and also in the port. And they took the first step through us,” reported the Chief Executive Officer proudly. In the new storage areas it is also possible to han-dle sophisticated and correspondingly val-uable goods or heavy goods. For example copper cathodes. One load measures 1 meter by 1 meter and is exactly 60 cen-timeters high – but at 4,500 kilos it is enormously heavy.

Cooperation is also writ large in the portSimultaneously the range of services in logport was also expanded: decoration arti-cles have been received, checked, stored, re-picked and prepared for punctual onward transport to various department

store chains for a new client in the past three months. Because while other Duis-burgers sweated in the summer heat, the staff of Mates Spedition stood among high bay racking overwhelmingly filled with red and white Christmas decorations.

Another client commissioned Topal with a range of 360 dental technology articles: spare parts and accessories from gloves up to setting paste. They are sent in cartons throughout Germany by courier or express services. But the forwarder's loads also reg-ularly leave going toward the Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland, France, Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy plus Spain. The decisive destination in 1992, Turkey, which also led to the foundation of the company, now “only” makes up a share of 30 per cent.

And the staff make the seemingly impossi-ble possible: at the beginning of the year a customer 20,000 irons from the Far East. But due to a production flaw they had stains on the bases. “So for seven weeks long we unpacked the 20,000 irons one by one, connected them to the electricity mains, heated them up, cleaned with with a damp cloth, let them cool down and repacked them again.” After all, a logisti-cian rises to the size of the challenge.

An important partner for Mates Spedition when organizing hinterland transports are the experts from duisport agency, said Topal, emphasizing the further successful cooperation with the Port of Duisburg and also after the successful move. “It was right and important for us in every respect to come to the port in Duisburg.”

(frön) It was the Internatio nal Building Exhibition Emscher Park (IBA) under the direction of Prof. Karl Ganser that looked for industrial monuments for ten years and developed them for cultural use. However, after the end of the widely respected and very successful project, questions were posed about the future perspectives of these locations. Simultaneously the State government was working on plans to raise NRW's profile internationally with special consideration given to economic, social and cultural structural change. An impor-tant suggestion of the IBA to create a decentralized art festival for the Ruhr region opened up a one-off chance: halls, closed mines and power stations proved themselves to be predestined for new forms of artistic discussion. Founding Director Gerard Mortier put the creations in the center from 2002 to 2004 – pro-ductions that seek cross discipline dialog with their performance locations: theater, opera and dance combined with innova-

The “Ruhrrevier”, as the locals call it, has long stood for more than just coal, steel and darks skies lit up at night by blast furna-ce tapping. After the Second World War the emerging metropolitan region also changed into a place of culture, with a density of museums, cinemas, theaters and playhouses only exceeded worldwide by that in New York. An important part of this cultural creativity and work, which is now respected worldwide, is the Ruhrtriennale. And this is based on the Duisburg Nord Lands-cape Park.

tiative against the demolition of the old Duisburg-Meiderich smelting works. With the support of the IBA, an area of around 180 hectares of industrial culture, nature and culture emerged. The closed smelting works with its amazing atmosphere is in the center – its old industrial facilities have been converted to a variety of uses today: for example, the former works halls are set up for cultural and company events, Europe's largest artificial diving sport center has emerged in an old gasometer, in ore storage bunkers Alpine climbing gardens have been created, a high rope course has been set up in a former foundry building and an extinguished blast furnace has been developed into a viewing tower.

Hiking, cycling, playing, running around and relaxing in the beer garden or restau-rant are just a few of the possibilities offered during a visit. Even a biological sta-tion and “touching farm”, the Ingen-hammshof, are offered by the site. And at night the light installation by Jonathan Park shines over the city's houses – which has long been a Duisburg landmark visible for miles around.

After an extremely successful 2012, 2013 should seamlessly carry on in the same way In the first year under the direction of the composer and theater producer Heiner Goebbels the Ruhrtriennale from August 17 to September 30, 2012 brought around 900 international artists to the Ruhr metropolis. Over 30 productions, including around 20 first performances, new productions and German premieres as well as numerous concerts and guest performances transformed the industrial monuments of the region into spectacular performance locations for music, visual art, theater, dance and performance. Audi-ences of around 50,000 saw the produc-tions this year, of whom around 7,000 saw the live art exhibition 12 Rooms. In total 85 per cent of capacity was used. Furthermore, about 13,000 visitors fed their heartbeat into the light installation Pulse Park.

Presentation and venue enter a unique symbiosisThe Duisburg Nord Landscape Park took a special place in the Festival calendar from the beginning: 2002 was rung in with Schubert's lieder cycle “Winterreise”, per-formed in a boxing ring in the Ruhrtrien-nale power station. A few days later the premiere of Visconti's “The Damned” fol-lowed in the blasting hall spectacularly upgraded into a playhouse. Accordingly, since the first season the blasting halls, the power station and, since the second sea-son, the foundry building too, have been venues of the Ruhrtriennale. With a total of six productions the Park – alongside the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum – was already the Festival's most important venue then and has remained so up to today.

But not only the Ruhrtriennale uses the Landscape Park: in addition to many

portant venues for the “Ruhrtriennale” since the beginning

And for the second year of his director-ship, lasting three years as ever, Goebbels had also thought of something really spe-cial: the Ruhrtriennale will open its 2013 season with the key work Delusion of the Fury (1965 – 66) by the American com-poser Harry Partch (1901 – 1974), one of the most original artists and musicians of the 20th century, as its first performance in Europe. The whole range of instru-

closed events, a variety of cultural happe- nings, large events and exhibitions are continually organized as well, attracting thousands of visitors again and again. With pleasing side effects: a total of 300 people have already found employment again in the Landscape Park.

(jb) The TEN-T is a key element of the revived Lisbon Strategy for competitive-ness and employment in Europe and will play a central role in reaching the targets of the new EU strategy “Europe 2020”. Through a complete and integrated trans-port network, which encompasses the rails, roads, sea and air transport as well as inland waterways, the mobility and trans-port needs of all regions in the EU will be covered. The infrastructure development of the TEN-T will produce the interopera-bility of transport networks, which will ensure the optimal connection of all modes of transport, as well as removing bottlenecks and creating missing connec-tions. A modernized, multi-modal Trans European Transport Network will not only guarantee the resource-efficient mobility of

people and goods. It will also promote the creation of jobs, economic growth and ter-ritorial and social cohesion throughout the EU.

Core network by 2030, overall network by 2050According to information from the Euro-pean Commission the 27 member states of the EU have a total of around 5 million km of roads, of which around 65,100 km are highways. Furthermore, there are more than 212,000 km of rail routes, 110,000 km of which are electrified, as well as more than 42,000 km of inland waterways. With the TEN-T concept these modes of transport will be developed into a ”two level structure” into a uniform, Europe-wide transport network. The over-

all network represents a comprehensive network of all modes of transport and will ensure the accessibility of all regions, e. g. by connecting inland ports to the rail transport infrastructure. By 2050 the over-all network will be completed. The core network, which will be completed by 2030, overlays the overall network and consists of parts that offer the highest stra-tegic European value added. According to the Commission's proposals the core net-work will network 83 European ports and 37 airports with the railway and road transport network. The target is smooth transport within the TEN-T, more efficien-cy through transport management systems and thus a reduction of CO2 emissions.

The smooth functioning of the internal market and strengthening economic and social cohesion in Europe will be achieved through a completely integrated transport network. European institutions are currently negotiating on a revised version of the so-called Trans European Transport Networks (TEN-T). The TEN-T consists of two parts: a priority core network that should be completed by 2030 and a comprehensive network that should cover the whole European Union (EU) and come into being by 2050. The joint resolution is expected in fall 2013.

developing the transport infrastructure for the period from 2014 – 2020 (the EU made 8 billion euros available to imple-ment the TEN-T in the period 2007 – 2013). Around 80 – 85% of the CEF funds should be made available to develop the waterways and rails of the core net-work. These range from cross-border sec-tions and bottlenecks up to “horizontal priorities” such as transport information and guidance systems or the supply infra-structure for alternative fuels to reduce CO2 emissions. The remainder should flow into alternative project financing, which will also benefit the development of the road network. Currently the European Parliament is deliberating on the TEN-T guidelines and the regulation proposal for the CEF. Voting in the session of the Par-liament is foreseen for January 2013. A final agreement between the Council and the European Parliament is expected in fall 2013 at the latest.

TEN-T as a guarantee of European competitivenessA good transport system that equally serves the needs of people, the economy and the environment, represents impor-tant value added in global competition. In this respect Europe is still a worldwide leader. The implementation of the TEN-T core network by 2030 and the overall net-work by 2050 should contribute to Europe growing even more closely together and building on this lead. Linking central transport nodes and multi-modal connections would significantly raise the efficiency of the transport infrastructure, thus creating real European value added.


The so-called “core network corridors”, which also include the Rotterdam-Genoa corridor that Duisburg is part of, should ease the construction of the core network. Individual working groups are being formed for this purpose bringing together member states and participants, such as infrastructure operators and users. The working groups set the general targets of the core network corridors, prepare the measures necessary for implementation and then monitor them. The working groups are headed by a “European Coordi-nator” appointed by the European Com-mission, who will ensure the European value added of the measures and act as a broker between national interests.

Implementing the TEN-T and the Con-necting Europe FacilityAccording to information from the Com-mission, the completion of the TEN-T requires around 500 billion euros by 2020 of which 250 billion euros will be for the core network. Projects of joint interest can be supported by the newly created Con-necting Europe Facility (CEF). This will make 31.7 billion euros available for

Guidelines of the Council of Ministers for the TEN-TOn March 22, 2012 the Council of Euro-pean Transport Ministers agreed on a com-mon road map to a standard European transport network. According to this the proposed regulation for guidelines for the development of the Trans European Trans-port Network will remove bottlenecks, modernize the infrastructure and allow cross border traffic to flow better. The ministers approved the development of a core network by 2030 that includes 30 priority projects related to rail routes, waterways, ports and airports. These projects concern common European interests that have to meet certain pre-conditions, such as removing bottlenecks, or making a contri-bution to sustainable transport develop-ment. Analogous to the Commission's pro-posal the ministers require the introduction of ten corridors to orient transport investments in a more targeted and effi-cient manner.

Ten corridors as the core of the TEN-TThe introduction of ten corridors repre-sents the core of the new TEN-T concept.

(lw) It is nothing new that the Turkish economy is booming and that according to a survey by the Jones Lang LaSalle Insti-tute Turkey is also still Number 1 among the upcoming logistics markets in the next five years. Thus logitrans is seen as an important trade fair for warehousing tech-nology, logistics and transport in the region. As one of the largest logistics turn-tables in Central Europe, the Port of Duis-burg has been committed in Turkey for years and as a result is also represented at logitrans. duisport presented the wide spectrum of logistics and services based at the Duisburg location here.

The trade fair took place in the Istanbul Expo Center and exhibitor focal points were overwhelmingly inland waterways

or sea shipping, forwarding and logistics services. There was very good participa-tion this year too and around 200 exhibi-tors as well as 14,000 trade fair partici-pants could be posted and thus more than in 2011.

The trade fair welcomed exhibitors from India, Sweden and New Zealand for the first time. And regular participants also provided a premiere. In addition to Italy, Austria and Latvia, German exhibitors were also able to welcome their guests to their own, so-called “German Pavillion”, whose exhibitor area was almost doubled in comparison with the previous year.

Due to the difficult economic and political situation caused by the uprisings in the

neighboring country Syria it was difficult to precisely define fair visitors' expecta-tions of the intermodal range in advance. In contrast to 2011, when the direct rail connection between Duisburg and Halka-li/Istanbul was the central issue, in 2012 purely rail transports were a difficult issue due to the various large building sites. But despite all uncertainties, Heiko Rumfeld, Member of the Management Board of duisport agency GmbH, was confirmed in his assumption that combinations of short-sea and rail transports ought to be at the forefront for duisport at the trade fair. He also looked forward to a positive response to the industrial packing range. The visitor figures on the duisport Group's stand accordingly reflected trade fair visitors' interest in the company.

As in 2011 the duisport Group visited the logitrans Transport Logistics Exhibition in Istanbul. This year the trade fair opened its doors from November 15 – 17 and, despite a difficult political situation, was able to consolidate its position as the most impor-tant logistics trade fair in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa).

(jb) Chinese companies are among the most important trading partners of busi-ness in North Rhine Westphalia. The trading volumes between NRW and China amounted to a total of 25.6 billion euros in 2010 – and this amount is rising. Thus the Rhine-Ruhr region is also an attractive business location for Chinese companies too – about 750 have already located here. To distribute their goods Chinese manufacturers and trading companies also use the expertise of German logistics ser-vices providers. The CIHD was founded on April 30, 2002 as an answer to the ever closer economic integration of Ger-many and China with the support of the Chinese embassy in Germany and the Federal Ministry of Economics.

Tasks and targets of the CIHDThe CIHD has made it its task to make and intensify contacts between SMEs and political and business decision makers in the Federal Republic of Germany and the People’s Republic of China. The associa-tion provides its members with current business and cultural information at regu-lar events, business meetings and consul-tancy discussions, as well in its CIHD magazine, contributing to the promotion of friendly relations between the two states.

Network expansion by the CIHDThrough its membership of the CIHD duisport is expanding its international net-work and strengthening cooperation

incentives. The events organized by the CIHD are supported by external lecturers and experts who guarantee a lively exchange of experiences and information. The networking of members with each other is promoted and intensified in this manner. Deepening business to and in China and by exchanging knowledge and expanding networks important synergy effects are created. Synergy effects that are also of great relevance to customers of Duisburger Hafen AG.

38 duisport magazine December 2012 SERVICES The Port

duisport – The Port

The port of Duisburg (duisport), at the

confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr, is the

largest inland port in the world with

handling volumes of 125 million tonnes

(2011) and value creation of 3 billion

euros per year.

The trimodal (water, rails and roads) logis-

tics turntable acts as a hinterland node for

the seaports and as a gateway for goods

transport to Central Europe. In addition

to goods handling (primarily merchandise

in containers, import coal, iron/steel,

mineral oil/chemicals) the logistics loca-

tion offers numerous logistics services.

duisport – the company

Around 300 logistics oriented companies

are based in the Port of Duisburg. In total

over 20,000 jobs in Duisburg depend on

the port, 40,000 in the region. Port

induced investments made by companies

at the location amount to more than 250

million euros a year.

duisport – the port Group

Duisburger Hafen AG is the holding and

management company of the Port of

Duisburg. The duisport Group, which the

subsidiaries of Duisburger Hafen AG also

belong to, offers full service packages in

infra- and suprastructure including reloca-

tion management for the port and logis-

tics location. Logistics services supple-

menting the portfolios of companies based

in the port complete the Group’s service

spectrum. Thus the duisport Group sees

itself as a partner of the logistics sector

and makes its own contributions to opti-

mizing transport chains to deliver to and

from industry and retail.
