The document summarizes a workshop on maritime networks in North-West Europe held in Paris from June 16-18, 2014. It discusses the Weastflows project, which created a GIS database of over 250,000 freight infrastructure objects in North-West Europe. It then describes the methodology for a spatial analysis of freight interactions between 76 zones within and outside the region using distance, tonnage and ton-kilometers transported by road, rail, inland waterways and sea. The analysis identified the major interaction routes and maritime flows within North-West Europe.

The Weastflows project
•An Interreg IVB North West Europe (NWE) project (2011-2014)
•Strategic initiative
•Aims: improve and enhance freight logistics toward sustainability in NWE
•Budget: 9 million €
•12 actions split in 5 WorkPackages
•22 partners and more than 30 observers
The Weastflows project is managed by CRITT TL (France) and IFS (London).

GIS database
(Data repository on freight infrastructures in NWE)
A GIS database : a starting point
•A web-mapping platform http://geo.weastflows.eu
•Deliverable 01 of AURH
•Mapping of major North- West European freight infrastructures
•Deliverable 02 of AURH
•Quantitative and qualitative analysis of freight infrastructures
•Analysis of the interactions between regions of North West Europe

Objectives of the spatial analysis of freight interactions
•To identify the main area in North-West Europe which are transmitter / receiver of goods
•To show the interactions between the different region of North-West Europe
•To be able to qualify the main interactions by type of transport used (railway, maritime, waterways, roads…) and to be able to quantify the interactions

Methodology : the matrix
All goods interactions with North- West Europe are considered
76 x 76 zones
> For the NWE each country has its own geo zone
•France : NUTS2
•Irland is the most detailed
•Germany the less detailed > Outside NWE
•Rest of Europe is splitted into group of countries
•Outside, it is only « continent »

Conclusion
•First work / First Exploration
•Tons-kilometers to be used
•Re-use these data as freight demande to identify major freight routes
•Maritime routes : can you help us?
•To go further for Seine Gateway (NUTS 3 or better, good types)
