The port as a hub in the intermodal chain

Objective

EUROBORDER sets out to analyse the processes connected to the vehicles, load units and the related information, within the ports as well as between ports and their different customers (e.g. forwarders and shippers).
EUROBORDER intends to meet the objectives listed in the Work Programme by :
* focusing on the procedures (information flow, organisation, administration) in the port,
* relating these procedures to the interaction with participants of the intermodal transport chain
Analysing the procedures in the ports also means analysing the interacting transport services ; road, rail and sea as well as the funtions of the supporting forwarders and agents. However, the level of detail changes with the "distance" from the port and the sea transport leg.

The main objective of EUROBORDER is :
To estimate how changes and development related to the port will impact on the port's attraction as a node in the intermodal transport chain. Such measures could be changes and improvements of old procedures, but could also incorporate development of new services.

The task of EUROBORDER is :
* to map and model the procedures,
* to define and describe the system (time/costs) to be studied and its boundaries,
* to identify problems and bottlenecks of the system in relation to the user requirements
* to propose a tentative list of measures for improvement (as scenarios if meaningful)
* to assess the potential impact of improvements in the port and the importance of such changes in relation to the whole transport chain
* to propose measures for implementation and/or testing
