Inland barge services and container transport: the case of the ports of Le Havre and Marseille in the European context

Abstract: La compétitivité des ports dépend en grande partie des chaînes de transport terrestre et des économies d'échelle qu'elles permettent de réaliser. La rapide expansion du transport combiné fleuve-route depuis les ports français, Le Havre et Marseille, nous conduit à proposer une analyse théorique et empirique des causes et des conditions de ce développement. La desserte fluviale de ces deux ports a été comparée à celle des ports d'Anvers et de Rotterdam pour mieux comprendre la dynamique à l'oeuvre dans les port… Show more

“…In this process maritime companies are seen to be taking responsibility for inland transport using the railways and barges, a strategy that has been implemented to achieve better control of the movement of containers and meet demand from shippers for door-to-door services (Gouvernal, 2003;Frémont et al, 2009). However, analysis of the results of the ECHO survey does not confirm this trend.…”

“…A first type of contract with risk-bearing commitment can be concluded between a SL and a combined transport operator. Since 2004 for MSC and 2006 for Maersk, both SLs have contractual agreements with the road-barge operator LogiSeine assuming commercialization and exploitation of waterway services from/to Le Havre (Fremont et al, 2009). However a contract with risk-bearing commitment can also be signed between a SL and a rail and/or barge company.…”

“…Seaports are connected to a large set of overseas seaports, while inland port systems are typically fed by only a few large gateway ports. For example, the Rhine river in Europe is highly dependent on the main container ports Rotterdam and Antwerp (see Notteboom and Konings, 2004), the Seine river ports in France rely primarily on maritime container flows transshipped in Le Havre and the ports in the Rhône/Saône basin such as Lyon and Dijon are highly dependent on the Mediterranean seaport of Marseille (see Frémont et al, 2009). Similarly the Yangtze River port system relies mainly on Shanghai and to a lesser extent also on Ningbo and the connections of the lower reach ports (Taicang, Nanjing, Ziangjiagang, among others), with nearby countries such as South Korea and Japan, for containerized cargo volumes.…”

“…Little is known about these ports, as compared to the Chinese seaports, that have been studied by various authors (see, for instance, Liu et al, 2006;Cullinane et al, 2005), and inland ports in other parts of China and the world, see Wang and Slack (2000) on the Pearl River Delta, Notteboom and Konings (2004) for river ports on the Rhine and Frémont et al (2009) for river ports in France. Lammie (2008) contains much in terms of descriptive information on the Yangtze River Ports, but very little analysis has been presented to date.…”
