Overview

Background & policy context:

Short sea and inland waterway transport are not sufficiently accepted by shippers and forwarders even if the price for transport is much lower than with other modes. Improved exchange of information between parties in the market would improve the integration of short sea and inland waterways into intermodal transport chains and enhance the quality and reliability required for their acceptance in the market.

Objectives:

The project had two main objectives:

  • the application and installation of the Interconnectivity Manager (IM) developed in the BOPCOM project to support automated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between several internal and external partners with and without their own Electronic Data Processing (EDP) system;
  • the development and demonstration of a set of tools enabling the electronic, dynamic and interactive support of business decisions.
