MPPM – to provide a regional planning contextShipping policy - to promote competitive servicesCruise shipping – to explore new opportunitiesPort commercialization/privatization – to enhance efficiencyIWT integration – to improve sustainabilityMultimodal transport and logistics – to promote integration

Maritime Policy Planning Model

Developed by the ESCAP secretariatA set of computer modules covering trade, shipping and ports to provide projection of:

Trade flows and future shipping requirementsPort cargo throughputs and port infrastructure requirements

Integrated Computer Modules

Scenarios on shipping networks

Base network 2011Similar to existing shipping network

Bigger ships up to 12000 TEU but limited role: 8000 TEU or less in major E-W routes

Big ships network 201112000 TEU ships playing dominant role calling very limited number of super hub ports in E-W routes

Strengths of MPPM

Comprehensive view of the system

Regional perspectives

Coherent and internally consistent ‘forecasts’

Every container assigned to a particular shipping service to be carried from one port to other

Limitations of MPPM

Simple trade projection Limitations on port numbers & transshipment nodes Lack of intermodal representation

30

Plan to Upgrade/Expand the Model

2002-2003 Utilize contemporary modeling technologies Cover the whole APEC region Represent intermodal connection

31

New APEC-wide Study

A new study could cover the whole APEC region Cooperation of participating countries will be critical

Provide information and data Feed-back

Enhance collaboration between APEC and ESCAP
