Inland and coastal shipping - What's on?
How can inland and coastal shipping be used to a greater extent? How can a logistics concept be designed that could be realized? What is required and in what way do different actors need to take the initiative? These questions will be discussed during a seminar in Gothenburg, Sweden on 15 October. The seminar is organised as part of Interreg North Sea region IWTS 2.0 project by SSPA in collaboration with Lighthouse.
The seminar is aimed at industry, academia and the public sector interested in the area. Different stakeholders’ perspectives will be discussed, and several initiatives and examples will be presented. The seminar is divided into three themes; “Regions and ports perspective”, “Applying new logistics solutions in practice” and “Using waterways in urban areas”.
When: 15 October 2019, 09:30 till 16:00 hrs.
Where: Lindholmen Science Park, Gothenburg, Sweden

Welcome!

SSPA’s contribution in research project IWTS 2.0 is to develop innovative logistics concepts for coastal and inland shipping in Sweden that looks beyond concurrent limitations of existing business models, legislation, goods flow characteristics and vessel concepts.
Research project IWTS 2.0
Inland waterway transport offers relatively slow, cheap, climate friendly hinterland transport alternatives for commodities transported in large quantities or bulk. Many waterways in Europe remain widely un-/underused in the past decades. By piloting eight small waterway modal shifts, the project will showcase proven concepts that can be adopted by the market.
Developing innovative waterway solutions
SSPA are working with projects on the development of innovative logistics solutions and energy efficient vessel concepts for increased use of sea transportation in general and inland waterway transportation in particular. Within this area, SSPA has a large role in two large collaborative Interreg projects, NÖKS II and IWTS - Inland Waterway Transport Solutions.
