OPTIMED’S GOALS
to optimise the trade network between the northern shores of the High Tyrrhenian arc and the eastern-southern shores of the Mediterranean sea
to promote new opportunities, facilities, tools and skills that lead to the improvement of commercial connections and relationships between public and private operators in maritime transport and logistics sector of Lebanon, Italy, Spain and France
to identify new opportunities of the maritime trade network and the potentialities of a supporting tool like a virtual logistics platform among economic operators from EU and Mediterranean Partner countries
to give an answer to the need of more efficiency and sustainability of trade relations between the two shores of Mediterranean basin, and in particular among involved territories

WHAT OPTIMED DOES
OPTIMED tests new and alternative hub-based network layouts in order to verify the efficiency of the new system from several points of view:
Costs borne by the various operators (firms, forwarders, shipping companies, …)
Travel and total delivery times and their reliability
Environmental impacts in terms of air pollutant emissions
Energy saving

THE OPTIMED PROJECT
LIMITS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM OF TRANSPORT BY SEA
Not scheduled boarding times (in the majority of existing maritime services)
Uncertainty and very low reliability of delivery times
High costs
High delivery times
Congestion of the Ro-Ro yards, because of the high number of waiting trucks
Use of large port areas as parking areas for trucks
ADVANTAGES OF THE ROAD MODE
Reliability of the door to door service
Temporal continuity of the links
LIMITS AND ADVANTAGES OF THE EXISTING TRANSPORT OPTIONS
8th MEDA Ports Summit – Barcelona, 10 June 2015 Paolo Fadda, CIREM 7
THE OPTIMED PROJECT
REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW SYSTEM
Greater reliability of delivery times
More competitive times with respect to the existing transport options
More competitive costs
All ports of origin/destination must be covered (considerable reduction of land routes)
Social and environmental sustainability
All ports maintain and increase their market shares through modal shift (from road to sea)
HOW TO DO IT?By transforming the logic of distribution of goods by sea
SPOT CONNECTIONS
NEW NETWORK SYSTEM CHARACTERISED BY SCHEDULED, REGULAR AND RELIABLE FREQUENCIES
AND MORE COMPETITIVE DELIVERY TIMES
OPTIMED PROPOSES A 2-HUB-BASED NETWORK SYSTEMTO REDUCE LIMITS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

THE OPTIMED PROJECT
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE TWO HUB PORTS:
All ro–ro units from different origin ports are unloaded from feeder vessels and then loaded on a bigger mother vessel for all the destinations
All ro-ro units unloaded from a mother vessel are loaded on the various feeder vessels serving the different ports of destination
A LOGIC OF SYSTEMIC DISTRIBUTION:
Origin ports should mantain as direct links only those serving significant shares of traffic, while minor ports should plan the transfer of goods by working as a system
Origin and destination ports are linked to the hub of reference by frequent and regular feeder services
All the origin and final destinations are covered thanks to the systemic logic of distribution
In order to have an efficient system the 2 hubs need to be conceived as free-trade areas8th MEDA Ports Summit – Barcelona, 10 June 2015 Paolo Fadda, CIREM 11
THE OPTIMED PROJECT
EXPECTED RESULTS
Increased vessels load factor
Increased storage capacity of the port areas
Higher efficiency of the system due to scheduled, frequent and reliable services
Reduced transport costs both for the end-customer and the shipping line
Lower levels of air pollution (significantly lower in populated areas)
Improved road safety as a consequence of the lower freight volumes transported by road
