Intermodal Global Door-To-Door Container Supply Chain Visibility

Intermodal Global Door-to-door Container Supply
Chain Visibility
Funded by the European Commission, DG Research
Duration: 06/2008 – 10/2011
VISION STATEMENTS FROM THE COORDINATOR

INTEGRITY – Results (very briefly)
 Development of Shared Intermodal Container

Information System (SICIS)
 Improving the visibility of supply chains
 More security and predictability
 Industry driven research based solution
 Serves both Industry and Administration/Customs
 Successful demonstration with more than 5400
containers on 17 tradelanes
 Benefit analysis shows possible savings up to
several hundreds € per container (prevention of
demurrage/detention costs)
31 Jan 2012, Brussels Workshop on R&D Logistic and Supply Chain Security 2
SICIS - Shared Intermodal Container Information System
 Collect information • RFIDs

• E-seals
Access to relevant • Container Security Devices
• Satellites, AIS (Automatic
information for Identification System)
• Radiation portals

SICIS
• Port Community Systems
• Tracking and Tracing portals
(e.g. ICSO)
Aim:
 Supply Chain Visibility • Port Authorities
• Customs Authorities
 Enhanced Security

SICIS Demonstration results
 Demonstrations from September 2009 until May 2011

 Ports/Terminals involved:
 Shenzhen, Hong Kong
 Felixstowe, Rotterdam, Southampton
 Statistics
 17 trade lanes
 More than 5400 containers
 from which about 534 trips with CSDs
 Agreement with China Customs for the temporary
import of CSDs has finally been achieved in summer
2010
 CSDs used: Savi Networks, CIMC, LongSun
 Besides CSDs successful tests with RFID (eSeals,
container tags) were performed (EU-Project CHINOS)
 Successful joint demonstration with SmartCM
Vision for future additional R&D
Concepts &
Technology
Data
Harmonisation
accessability
Vision - Concepts & Technology
Security concepts and Technology are existing (data bases,

interfaces, CSDs, …) - but hardly used in real life
 Develop methods to achieve acceptance and adoption of
concepts and technologies by the industry – create
awareness
 Develop measures for sustainable integration of industry
partners, especially SMEs (reduce administrative burdens!)
 Achieve agreements between industry and Customs on
quantifyable benefits (win-win situations)
 Research on new concepts for risk assessment for industry
and Customs
 Analyse legal implications of change from push- to pull-
principle
 Achieve multi-national agreements for import of security
equipment
Vision - Data accessability
Access to reliable data is still a problem

 Develop access to further data sources, e.g. for
consignment information
 Develop methods to improve the reliability of data sources
 Address legal issues, e.g. data ownership and data sharing
agreements (e.g. AIS data, border crossing information
exchange)
 Develop methods to improve willingness for data sharing
Vision - Harmonisation
Harmonisation is a must, but reality tells another story

 Develop concepts to map existing practices to standards in
order to harmonize the different approaches
 Networking and integration with existing initiatives
(security, single window, standardisation etc.)
 Address eCustoms, eMaritime, eFreight initiatives
