Bharatbook.com : Demand of North European Containerports

Containerization (or containerisation) in North Europe( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Containerisation-in-North-Europe-to-2015.html ) is a system of intermodal freight transport using standard intermodal containers that are standardised by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These can be loaded and sealed intact onto container ships, railroad cars, planes, and trucks.
North European containerport demand has expanded rapidly over the past decade, despite some slowdown in the pace in 2001. Growth has been driven primarily by trade expansion, further conversion to containerisation and - most importantly by the continuing push for globalisation. The strongest growth has been in the deep-sea sector and this has placed increasing pressure on infrastructure investment, particularly in the port and intermodal sectors.
Despite this expansion there have been major uncertainties. Questions include:
How confident can we he about medium-term demand projections - is globalisation unstoppable or is there a significant downside in demand forecasting? What will be the effect of slower expansion since end-2000?
The pace of capacity additions - how will greater port demand he reconciled with increasingly vociferous environmental opposition?
Terminal productivity has improved sharply - what does this mean for future greenfield port developments?
What will be the role of transshipment - how important is this in securing front-rank port status?
How will competition from Mediterranean hub ports affect the North European market?
How rapidly will demand increase in Eastern Europe and how can deep-sea north-continent ports develop market share?
Ship sizes are still increasing and will continue to do so - what will be the effect on major river ports?
What will be the role of the principal international stevedoring companies in the European market and how will this affect productivity and pricing?
The related search by the major lines for dedicated terminal capacity is another important issue - how will this develop?
The EU is increasing its role in the port sector - what will be the potential effects on the highly efficient container terminal industry?
This major new study examines these issues, and represents essential and informed evaluation of this strategically vital sector.
The study analyses the historical evolution of demand and recent developments for each port. Future demand is forecast to 2015 for direct deep-sea, direct short-sea and transshipment flows. The port regions and countries covered in the study are:
North Continent West: France, Belgium, Netherlands
North Continent East: North Sea Germany
British Isles: UK and Ireland
Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland
Other Baltic: Baltic Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Baltic Germany
On the supply side, current investment projects and plans are evaluated. The resultant prospective development of port capacity is quantified to 2010. Prospective demand and supply are compared to 2010, in order to identify potential under-utilisation or capacity shortfalls.
The modal distribution for each major port - including road, rail, barge and transshipment - is assessed, and intermodal development plans are reviewed. The modal alternatives to the Eastern European markets are examined. Container handling capabilities are also reviewed, and port productivity levels are quantified in terms of berth and crane utilisation levels.
This study examines world containership fleet trends, with particular emphasis on the continuing advance in vessel sizes. The implications for port development are thoroughly examined in light of current port locations and water-depth restrictions. Trends and forecasts for container trade and shipping capacity in the North European trades are also provided.
