Review feasibility of LWL concept

- Impact study of reduced handling costs on LWL concept [M24]
- Final overall feasibility assessment [M24]

In WP2 and WP3 an automated pallet loading system for wagons will be design and a prototype will be
build. If the outcome of these work packages demonstrate that there is a potential cost decrease by using
an automated wagon loading system, the costs of LWL will further decrease. The impact of this cost
decrease will be assesed on the LWL concept.

Meeting reports of one-on-one meetings with chemical industry

The target is to meet with at least 20 companies that could benefit from the new services. These meetings
will be hold by different members of the consortium and the representatives of the chemical industry. This
interaction with a large part of the industry is necessary to create the necessary support for these services
and to capture their feedback and integrate their suggestions.

Data management plan

We want to participate in the Pilot of Open Research Data to maximise the re-use of our non-confidential data.
We will make sure the data are FAIR:
• Findable: with a simple search functionality
• Accessible: via a API or a download button
• Interoperable: data of different sources must be comparable.
• Reproducible: data must be reproducible for the reliability of answers to research questions

Technical specifications and legal conditions that the wagon parking need to fulfil

List the technical specifications that are required (duration, length of the rail tracks, accessibility, etc).
Combine this with a review of the legal barriers and rules linked to this kind of parking area. Based on this
summary, it should be possible to match it with some areas in the MainHub area that could be appropriate.
As we solve technical specifications of wagon parking, we have to solve handling and storage of dangerous
goods in the wagons to. The wagons and the load should be stored and suitably secured to prevent
displacement. It is forbidden to open and handle the dangerous goods during transportation.

Market report on existing LTL volumes and solutions in Antwerp cluster and in selected industrial area’s in Europe

This task consists of desk research and interviews with industry experts to identify the existing type of
groupage and other LTL volumes, the different type of customers and their requirements. In this task also
the existing products, shipment flows and added value services will be clarified. This is an as-is analysis to
understand the specific needs of LTL truck transport. This desk research will be performed by TransCare,
using its extensive experience in European logistics. They will be supported by other partners in the
consortium for different industrial area’s in Europe.

Report on the recycling and re-use of waste waters

One of the mayor issues with a cleaning service are the waste waters. Due to that fact, our main goal is to
reduce dramatically the amount and grade of effluent by:
• 100% removal of rest residue left in the railcars and ISO-containers before commencing the
cleaning process. Residue will affect the final grade and amount of effluent
• Reducing the level of injected cleaning chemistry into the cleaning process
• Reducing significantly the volume of used fresh tap clean water in the cleaning process
• Reducing the level of effluent waste water generated by the cleaning process itself
• Re-use treaded water in the cleaning process

Presentation of the pro & contra’s of the different technological options and the selected technology

There are five standardized types of systems for automated (un)loading. The following table provides an
overview of the types of systems and applications.The different technologies will be assessed on their suitability for application on the quay and in the
wagons. This will be done by bringing together the Ancra experts in loading systems, wagon specialists from
BLOG and ZOS and mechanical engineers from Technical University of Kosice. The most suited system will
be selected, taking into account the specifications from Task 2.1.

Report on capacity of improvement of actual services

For each element of each site, three key factors will be investigated : energy efficiency, energy mix and load
factor. The energy mix could have a huge impact on the greenhouse gas emissions, but it could have an
adverse effect on the energy consumption. It is often hard or nearly impossible to win more than 20 or 30%
in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution (not just one indicator). In that case it
might be better to radically change the service. The aim of this part is to identify the limits of improvement
on the actual situation.

Conceptual design of Truck Hub with a description of the main functions

In the past some initial drawings have been made on the potential layout of this new area for trucks. This
Truck Hub is necessary to support the other logistical services in the area and to attract additional volumes
to this new multimodal logistical center.

Assessment to connect Main Hub with Avantida Container Re-Use system

This existing application allows transporters to request the Re-Use of containers in order to optimize
container moves from import to export. This saves empty container trips to the depots and provides
transporters with lower costs and carriers with a new income. This system is currently pure for trucking, but
by providing temporary container depot, close to the MainHub, it could become connected with rail.

Report on environmental assessment for each cluster

To identify the environmental benefit of “less than wagon load”, it is essential to have a reference. A first
assessment of each site will be done. Three indicators will be established: energy consumption (kWh),
greenhouse gas emissions (CO2), and air pollution (fines particles, nitrous oxide). For this last indicators, the
localisation of the pollution will be analysed (it will be relevant for the energy switch road/fuel –
rail/electricity). An additional indicator, not environmental, but very relevant to include: the injuries of the
truck traffic. All the indicators will be measured in a relative way per ton and per tonkilometer.

Report on potential innovative cleaning techniques

We will analyse the
market to apply state-of-the-art cleaning techniques to have the most advanced, efficient, innovative and
environmental friendly techniques to manage the cleaning services. The new cleaning services shall be
performed according to the applicable Hygiene and EFTCO (European Federation of Tank Cleaning
Organisations) codes and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standards.

Functions specifications of the requested AWLS

The lead partner Ancra will organize a kick off meeting and follow-up meetings with different partners in
the consortium. During these meetings the business and technical requirements of this AWLS will be
discussed and aligned. These specifications will include: flexibility in type of wagons, flexibility in pallet type
(EURO, IND, etc), required loading and unloading speed, optimal volumes to be loaded, maximum CAPEX,
etc. These parameters will set the boundary conditions for the best AWLS.

Project management and quality plan (PMQP)

The main objective is to set up a governance and management structure that will ensure that Less than Wagon
Load is a well-managed, efficient and financially transparent project. This ensures that all knowledge created
is managed and disseminated (WP12) in a co-ordinated manner, along with technical activities, finance, legal
and other issues.
