High Capacity, Medium Speed Seaborne Transport of Seafood a R&D-project to promote environment friendly, fast and cost efficient transport of seafood from Norway to the European continent Torgeir Edvardsen SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture Aquaculture 2006 Firenze 9-13 May 2006 1
Background Almost all transport of fresh fish from Norway to Europe goes on truck more than 22.000 trailers a year. energy use environmental impact commercial sustainability With an export volume of more than 400.000 tonnes of fresh fish from Norway to Europe, other transport corridors must be created 2
Background Road capacity - Transport policies: "from road to sea and rail" Cargo owners: inexpensive, reliable and quality enhancing transport New skip design concepts, cargo handling concepts; transport economics Structural change in the aquaculture industry 3
ALTERNATIVE: Waterborne transport to the Continent!.. and lorry/rail/plane further on 4
The Project High Capacity, Medium Speed Seaborne Transport of Seafood will demonstrate that fast seaborne transport of fresh fish from Norway to the European continent is possible with competitive transport costs & transport time 5
Setting Fresh seafood southbound Fresh food (eg vegetables) northbound Logistics Feeding in Norway Sea leg Routing on the Continent Technology Dedicated ships Cargo carriers and handling systems Product enhancement (eg. superchilling) 6
The Project is financed by the Norwegian Research council, the Norwegian Shipowners Association and a consortium of industrial companies 7
The Consortium Partners Cargo Owners Technology Suppliers Transport/Shipping Finance & RTD Fjord Seafood ASA SalMar AS Pan Fish Sales AS Sekkingstad AS Alsaker Fjordbruk AS Lerøy Seafood Group ASA Sea Star International AS Vartdal Plastindustri AS Rolls Royce Marine AS TTS Ships Equipment AS Det Norske Veritas AS, DNV Research Ugelstad Management AS Green Management AS Olympic Shipping AS United European Car Carriers AS Johs Lunde Transport Spedisjon AS Norges forskningsråd Norges Rederiforbund SINTEF Gruppen 8
Challenges to a waterborne logistics solution Reliability and regularity (==> large skips) Enough cargo for cost efficiency Cooperation among cargo owners for sufficient cargo volume Transport time must be better than with truck Efficiency in the whole logistics chain A solution which gives an environmental gain 9
Some results from the project Technology Logistics Economics 10
Analytical concept sketch 2 ships (130m), one roundtrip/week/ship Container based system, 45 feet multimodal eurocontainer 9 port calls (hubs) in Norway 1-2 port calls on the Continent Service speed ca 22 knots Out distribution: lorry/plane/rail On average same transport time as truck 30% cost savings relative to truck at 50% capacity utilization (incl. return cargo) 11

Concluding remarks 27
Recommended solution 2 ships (Loa = 136m), one round trip a week/ship; 2 departures/week from Trondheim, Hitra, Kristiansund, Eggesbønes, Florø, Bergen, Sunnhordaland og Hjelmeland to Vlissingen Service speed ca 22 knop Loading at slaughterhouse (large; feeding from smaller) 45 Eurocontainers (on flatbeds) Loading/unloading without shore assistance Unloading to flatbeds for distribution 28
Final design Ship investment 22 mill per ship Total system investment 58 mill Sw opper / Norw egian Fresh Seafood Rolls Royce Marine AS 29
Conclusion The system is profitable relative to trucking with 34% capacity utilization southbound and 100% capacity utilization northbound Transport time: same or better than truck Realization of the system dependent on sufficient southbound cargo commitment 30
