Optimisation vs. Automation in South African PortsTristan Wiggill
This document discusses optimisation versus automation strategies in South African ports. It provides context about Transnet SOC Ltd, which operates South Africa's ports and rail network. The document explores the differences between automation and optimisation approaches, noting that the best strategy incorporates both. Transnet Port Terminals' IntelliPort initiative is presented as a way to optimise ports through an integrated digital system that collects and analyzes data from across terminal operations. Benefits of the IntelliPort approach include improved decision making, operational performance, and safety through a unified software platform.
Port terminal operations cost contribution to the supply chain Tristan Wiggill
Transnet Port Terminals' contribution to supply chain costs is relatively low. The World Bank report found that Transnet's port charges and terminal handling fees combined make up only 15.6% of the total cost of exporting a container from Johannesburg to Rotterdam. Inland transportation and handling costs are much higher, accounting for 60% of total supply chain costs. Compared to other countries, South Africa's port charges are around 12% lower than the global average. While it is expensive to trade from South Africa due to its distance from major markets, Transnet's fees are competitive internationally and not a primary contributor to high supply chain costs from South Africa.

The document outlines the major waterways in Europe and factors for the successful development of container-on-barge services, such as reliable schedules and a large international gateway port.
The ports as logistics platforms - the current metamorphosis of maritime portsParadigma Consulting
The document discusses trends affecting ports and how ports are transforming in response. Key trends include volatility in global trade, larger vessels and slower sailing times, and increasing intermodality and environmental concerns. Ports are transforming into multimodal logistics hubs, improving hinterland connections like rail, and coordinating their communities through performance indicators and systems. Ports are focusing on specific cargo types and markets, and providing efficient, sustainable services to enhance supply chain performance and competitiveness.
Role and means of river transportation in EuropeEugene Tkachenko
Inland waterways play an important role in transporting goods across Europe. Over 37,000 kilometers of waterways connect hundreds of cities and industrial regions across 13 European countries. Inland waterway transport accounts for around 7% of total transport modes in Europe. Countries with the highest density of inland waterways networks are the Netherlands and Belgium. The Rhine river accounts for 68% of total inland waterway transport across Europe and moves goods like metals, chemicals, and fuels between countries. Inland waterway transport is most competitive for distances of 200-300 km or over 400 km due to its low variable costs over large transport volumes. Reliable infrastructure, sufficient transport volumes and distances, and integrated transport services are necessary for further development
Inland waterways provide an efficient mode of transport in Europe, with over 40,000 km of navigable rivers and canals. Inland ships emit far less carbon dioxide and use less fuel per tonne-km than trucks. Waterborne transport plays an important economic role, creating over 40,000 jobs and carrying around 500,000 tonnes of goods annually in the EU. Investments are being made to further develop waterway infrastructure and integrate inland shipping into multimodal transport networks to realize its potential for reducing emissions and congestion.
The Port of Antwerp is one of the largest ports in Europe, located in the heart of the European trade network. It handles a large volume of cargo annually, especially containers.

To maintain its leading position, the port continues investing in infrastructure like deepening waterways and adding terminal capacity. These investments aim to improve access and handle future growth in trade volumes through the port.

This document discusses the importance of inland waterway transport (IWT) systems for international trade and national economies. Some key points:
- An IWT system consists of an interconnected network of waterways, seaports, inland ports, specialized vessels, and coordination between these components.
- IWT offers cost, reliability, safety, and sustainability advantages over road and rail transport for certain cargo types like dry and liquid bulk goods.
- Well-developed IWT systems are important for seaports to access large hinterland markets, and can account for a significant portion of cargo transport within a country beyond just seaport hinterlands.
- Developing an effective IWT system requires coordinated

This document summarizes key findings from a report on developing ports in Wales. It discusses relevant EU and UK freight and port policies, international trends affecting ports, freight market analysis, and emerging issues. Case studies analyze the ports of Milford Haven, Swansea, Cardiff, and Holyhead. The document concludes that marketing efforts and pricing options need improvement to develop short sea shipping through Welsh ports. Infrastructure should develop based on market needs rather than speculation. Overall, the report aims to identify options for further developing business and encouraging modal shifts to short sea routes through Welsh ports.
Port Development, Review of Maritime Transport 2014Manas Tripathy
Container ports saw growth of 5.6% in 2013 with developing countries increasing their share. The top 20 ports accounted for 46% of throughput and all top 10 ports are in Asia. Terminal operations are still fragmented but the top 10 control 37% of throughput. Port development is important for developing countries' revenue but less so for developed countries. The Panama Canal expansion was completed in 2016 to accommodate larger ships. Future vessels will be bigger, requiring ports to deepen channels and strengthen infrastructure to handle increased cargo volumes while minimizing environmental impacts.

This document discusses various topics related to intermodal transport in Europe, including:
1) A panel discussion was held on expanding intermodality and "synchromodality" in Europe. Issues discussed include developing alternative fuel infrastructure, smarter use of existing infrastructure, and strategic alliances.
2) Statistics on freight transport in Europe show that 11% of tonnes and 56% of tonne-kilometers are transported over 300km, suggesting potential for shifting more to rail and waterborne transport.
3) New legislation will require installation of alternative fueling stations for natural gas, hydrogen and electric vehicles along major transport corridors in Europe to enable use of lower-emissions fuels.

This document provides an evaluation of Mississippi's ports and waterways to develop container-on-barge (COB) operations on the scale of major rail and highway corridors. It finds that COB services are viable and sustainable if there is an international gateway port, significant upstream economic activity, and reliable scheduled services. The most sustainable COB services on the Mississippi are integrated into larger bulk barge operations, benefiting from economies of scale. The report analyzes the state's ports and waterways systems and the roles of individual ports in supporting COB development. It maintains the Mississippi has the potential to develop full-scale COB operations comparable to major trade corridors.
MergeGlobal - 2009 Containerized demand in main markets presentation final3GIntermodal
This document provides an analysis of global containerized sea freight demand drivers and outlook. It finds that containerized freight flows are concentrated in Asia, North America, and Europe. Demand is primarily driven by consumer spending in North America and Europe ("demand-pull"). The document forecasts a slow recovery in global container volumes from 2009 to 2014, with peak pre-recession volumes restored by 2012. Volumes are expected to rebound in key trade lanes like Asia-North America and Asia-Europe as underlying economic growth returns.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
