Introduction

• The presented activity is supported by the eLOGMAR-M project (Web-based and Mobile Solutions for Collaborative Work Environment with Logistics and Maritime Applications)

• The major idea from logistics point of view is to calculate a start-to-finish rate of cargo transportation and to estimate the most suitable cargo carrier and supply chain by using Web-based solutions

• To create a Web-portal for information providing to transport services’ consumers’

The Maritime Freight Route

• The maritime freight route “Baltic Sea feeder ports - Western Europe hub port (Hamburg) - Mediterranean port (Thessaloniki) - Chinese ports” is selected as the subject of investigation and demonstration.

Major Goal

• Create a dynamic, collaborative partner pool uniting organisations from one Asian and eight different European countries.

• Incorporate the different partners operating along the selected maritime freight route by the way of uniting their information management systems, databases, Internet Web-sites and portals

• Provide services and new work methods for the mobile actors (traders, shippers, brokers, consignees, forwarders, railways, etc.)

Work plan – general structure

The CA consists of three stages

Identification Integration Demonstration

Internet-based interactive Web-site as supporting tool eLOGMAR-M outcome

Study and analysis of

logistics and maritime transport

processes

Study and analysis of m-services, e-

work, information

and simulation systems

Study and analysis of

legislation and regulations

Creating the opportunities

for the training of specialists Identification

Generalisation of studies and analysis of results, assessment criteria and customers requirements by using an Interactive Web-site of a

dynamic, collaborative, virtual societyIntegration

Setting up of demonstrators of an Internet based Collaborative

Work Environment Demonstration

Setting up of demonstrators of mobile access to Collaborative

Work Environment


Project’s Consortium

The 17 partner organisations complement each other at different levels:

Industrial Enterprises, Universities and Research Institutes, Transport Logistics, It-Solutions Companies:

• Fraunhofer IFF(Germany); Warszaw University of Technology (Poland), Riga Technical University (Latvia);

• KSSA(Lithuania), PKA(Finland), RTSB(Germany), HHM(Germany), ThPA (Greece), IB (Estonia)

• IDC Information Technologies, Latvian Intelligent Systems (LV); Sonex (LT); HOPE (China)

• M&SS (UK), TRD (GR), CHD (CN), LTR (EE)

Different geographical regions along the selected freight route:

• China• Mediterrania (Greece)• Western Europe (Germany, U.K)• Baltic Sea (Finland, Poland, Lithuania,Latvia, Estonia)


Two Major Target Groups

Cargo group (K2)Transportation group (K1)

1) Transportation group:· Shipping lines (deep sea and feeder lines, ship-owners);

Container terminal operators;Block train operators;Forwarding companies;Multimodal transportation operators.

Freight brokers

2) Cargo group:Cargo owners; Forwarding companies as representatives of goods’ owners (manufacturers or buyers); Traders.


Decision Making Flowchart

1.Actors from K1 prepare and provide access to initial information regarding their services promotion among actors from K2

2.Actor from K2 distributes inquiry in accordance with terms of a Contract of sale and purchase among different actors from K1

3.Actors from K1 process inquiry and prepare information for actor from K2 in accordance with his inquiry

4.Actor from K2 receives and analyses replies to his inquiry

5.Actor from K2 makes a decision for further contacting with the selected

actors from K1

NO

7.END

YES

6. Actor from K2 and selected actors from K1 establish

contacts regarding further procedures of cargo transportation


Basic Components of Web-based Portal

in Transport Logistics

• General information (overview of IT and Communication Solutions with transport logistics and maritime applications, overview of EU regulations, international standards and national laws, overview of opportunities and computer-based courses for training).

• Information regarding solutions in transport logistics (initial information and algorithm of decision making). Initial information contains: sailing schedules of ocean and feeder lines, schedules of block-train services, characteristics of port and railway terminals, terms of freight delivery and transportation etc.).


Benefits from Web-portal Applications

Both target groups will benefit from Web-portal Applications:

Actors from transportation group by promotion of their servicesand increasing cargoes flows.

Actors from cargo group by calculating and estimation a start-to-finish transportation tariffs and choosing better cargo carrier, whomeets the required criteria.
