1. Port Centric
Logistics
МОРСКОЙ ТОРГОВЫЙ ПОРТ УСТЬ-ЛУГА

2. Case for Port Centric Development
•Proportion of goods consumed imported in Russia has grown
•Optimum location to minimise transport costs for (some) distribution centres may
therefore shift towards the coast
•Current use of inland national distribution consolidation centres can add to the
distance goods moved between supplier to receiver
•Ports already provide excellent multimodal hubs (road/rail/coastal shipping)
•Port centric strategies can therefore offer lower cost and environmentally sustainable
solutions
So what evidence can be brought to bear to make a planning and investment
case?

3. Case for Port Centric Development
• Trade growth means the optimum location for some national distribution centres
worth reconsideration
• Current pattern of warehouse location has been developed to minimise
secondary distribution costs
– Important to factor in savings in primary transport costs in making
investment decisions
• Planning regime needs to be informed of the public interest advantages

4. The idea is simple:
•Leave the container at the port. It is a maritime container, and that is where it belongs.
Take it out of the equation and it is ready to go out on the next ship – giving better use
and faster repositioning of containers.
•Unpack the container within the port limits; that way, you can pack it to capacity for
the shipping leg, without worrying about road weight limits.
•Store, repack and deliver the goods in a far more space and weight-efficient way, in
the combination you really want, via curtainsiders direct from port to regional
distribution centre (RDC), or final location.
WOULD you pay the fuel and driving costs for pointlessly hauling three or
four tonnes of metal hundreds of miles inland – only to have to arrange for its
return at a similar cost?

•Lover road mileage
•Faster repositioning of ‘empties’
•No need to worry about landside weight restrictions on imported containers allowing
containers to be filled to capacity
•Value added services such as bonded warehouses eliminates bonded trucking
•Reduced carbon footprint
