Maritime logistics

Today, maritime transportation is of decisive importance for the essential flow of raw materials and finished products to all parts of the world. This aspect of transportation is becoming ever more highly integrated into the total logistics chain that stretches from supplier to customer. This offers new possibilities for improved logistics solutions. At the same time, however, it makes new demands of the participants in this sector, who need to develop new areas of competence and new services. Maritime-based logistics solutions that make efficient use of inland waterways are capable of offering important environmental gains and reducing traffic problems throughout Europe. Such an outcome will require the development of logistics systems with respect to their organisation, control and technological solutions.
