Agenda Today‘s condition in transport and sea cargo handling Comparison of RoRo transport chains Profitability of ConRo services Sustainability of ConRo services Example: Transfennica

Today‘s condition in transport and sea cargo handling ConRo services need to have containerised as well as break bulk cargo Container dominates in North Sea ports, RoRo cargo dominates in southern Baltic Sea ports Container ports have higher departure frequencies but only for Container The low departure frequency of RoRo hinterland transports - in comparison to container transports - cause direct intercontinental road transports

Today‘s condition in transport and sea cargo handling

The potential cargo volumes for a ConRo service between Hamburg and North East Europe consists of: Oversea container with origin/destination North East Baltic Sea Intra European container with origin/destination North East Baltic Sea Trailer and Swaps from/to central Europe from/to North East Baltic Sea Heavy cargo from Western Europe from/to North East Baltic Sea Maximal feeder ship size around TEU ConRo ships could enable Large-Scale-Effect under Consideration of Kiel canal limits

Comparison of RoRo transport chains Considering the German hinterland, the Port of Hamburg has shorter road distances as e.g. Luebeck (80 km) or Kiel (100 km) Truck based pre-/on carriage is faster 8h action radius for trucks increases (HH-Kassel will be possible)

Comparison of RoRo transport chains The Port of Hamburg offers very good pre- and on carriage conditions of RoRo transports and could be an interesting alternative if the sea freight conditions would be the same as in Kiel or Luebeck. Comparison of a trailer transport on the basis on equal sea freight costs: Parameter Kassel- Helsinki via Lübeck Kassel- Helsinki via Hamburg Kassel- Helsinki via Kiel[Dim] Average transport time395641[h] Transport costs road [€/Trailer] RoRo handling in two ports74 [€/Trailer] Transport costs sea400 [€/Trailer] Total costs [€/Trailer]

Profitability of ConRo services Profitability of ConRo Service increases while adding saved road transport costs on sea freight rates: Increase of Trailer freight rates[€] Profitability Hamburg-Helsinki ConRo [%]11,714,41719,722,4 Parameter of service Travemünde Helsinki RoRo Hamburg Helsinki ConRo[Dim] Loops per year12173[ ] Fixed costs [€/a] Bunker costs [€/a] Canal and pilot fees [€/a] Port fees [€/a] Berthing [€/a] Quay tariff [€/a] Total costs [€/a] Earnings [€/a] Annual profability of ship2,611,7[%/a]

Profitability of ConRo services Port and canal charges are higher as for simple container ships New buildings cost are higher as for container ships BUT: ConRo enable nearly double loading capacity in terms of loading units (in different cargo sectors) Bulky Break Bulk Cargo Containerised Cargo Freight income increases Economies of Scale Same crew, same engine,… 160m 205m 1.300TEU 1.300TEU 2.500Lane meter 9.5m 9.5m ca GT ca GT 25m 32m

Sustainability of ConRo services The shift from road to sea would be approximately 128 mill. tkm per year.* CO2 emissions can be lowered by approximately 3.8 mill. kg per year.* Higher action radius within 8h for trucks for on- and pre-carriage. *Average weight of 17.5 t per trailer, dead weight of towing vehicle not included
