MARQUAL - Demonstration of an integrated management and communication system for door-to-door
Overview
Background & policy context:
The maritime operators of tomorrow face the challenge of providing a quality of service that is attractive to transport users, which is safe and environment friendly, while making a profit justifying investments of financial and human capital. The purpose of the MARQUAL is to better understand, document, and communicate how the modelling of business processes in the maritime sector may contribute to adapting such operations to meet the requirements from users of waterborne transport in door-to-door transport chains and, at the same time, make them profitable ventures for the operators and for the society. In particular, good quality operations will be examined to demonstrate current best practice.
Objectives:
The major objective was to demonstrate how to efficiently organise and manage intermodal door-to-door transport chains, in which shipping plays a major role, by using logistics management and communication systems.
Methodology:
Metodology of the MARQUAL is to better understand, document, and communicate how the modelling of business processes in the maritime sector may contribute to adapting such operations to meet the requirements from users of waterborne transport in door-to-door transport chains and, at the same time, make them profitable ventures for the operators and for the society.
