EFIP
The European Federation of Inland Ports (EFIP)
• Was created in 1994
• Represents around 200 inland ports in 19 countries of the European Union, Switzerland and Ukraine
• Represents public and private inland ports
• Represents some seaports with an important inland port function

EFIP
EFIP’s triple role:
• The unique voice of inland ports in Europe
• An important information network for and about inland ports
• A “promoter” of inland ports

Challenges ahead
Challenges – by 2050:
• EU population living in urban areas expected to grow from 74% to 85%
• 80% increase of freight transport
• Cost of congestion would rise by 50%
EU aims to have CO2-free city logistics by 2030
Big city agglomerations will need to find solutions for a more sustainable and efficient delivery of goods and services

Role of Ports
• Inland waterways transport as a sustanaible and efficient distribution mode of transport within the city
• Inland port as efficient multi-modal interconnection point and gateway to the Trans-European Transport Network
Balance between logistics, housing and leisure:
Some space needs to be safeguarded for logistics activities
Good access to the port area needs to be guaranteed

2.3 bn tons of waste generated in the EU every year
60% of this amount is transported by trucks
Lille:
216.000 containers/year by barge
(20.000 trucks)

Projects
Connecting Citizen Ports 21 (CCP21)
• Participating ports: Brussels, Lille, Paris, Liege, Utrecht, Switzerland,
Rheinports Basel-Mulhouse-Weil
Aims:
• Optimising the organisation of freight logistics and sustainable spatial
development of inland ports.
• Increase the awareness and acceptability of inland ports
• Promote cohabitation through innovative multipurpose land use
• Promote sustainable city distribution

Projects
Connecting with Waterways: A Capital Choice
• Initiators: five waterborne European capitals
and their inland ports: Brussels, Berlin, Budapest,
Paris and Vienna. Pisa joined in 2012
Engagements:
• “Activate” the connection with the waterway flowing through their city
• Work towards CO2 free logistics by making more use of the waterway
• Strengthened dialogue with inland port authorities
• Tackle the growing challenges in terms of urban freight supply and
distribution

Conclusion
![Page 18: Ports in the City - canal.brusselscanal.brussels/sites/default/files/documents/colloques/Canal Days... · EFIP The European Federation of Inland Ports (EFIP) • Was created in 1994](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021901/5b91298509d3f2f1278d68fb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is needed?
• Intensive dialogue to find compromises between different users of surfaces in the city o But even then not all forms of use can always be combined with each other
o Some uses like economic activity and leisure are probably easier to combine than for example the more sensitive use as habitation
• Spatial planning that leaves some room for the logistics activities of inland ports
• Integration of inland waterway transport in urban mobility plans
• Good infrastructure, in particular good multi-modal connections
• Active engagement with potential customers
• Reliable framework conditions for investments, reliable political support
