duisport expands its handling capacities

press release 03.02.2014

Capacity expansion to 5 million TEU by 2015 /

Additional gantry cranes on logport I and logport III
Duisburg, February 3, 2014 The duisport Group is expanding its
terminal capacities in the container terminals in logport I and logport III
on the left bank of the Rhine. A build-up in rail infrastructure is also
associated with the expansion from six gantry cranes currently to a total
of ten. In addition, the handling and depot area is being expanded by 13
hectares. Through the targeted build-up and new construction of
terminal capacities we are creating the conditions for further growth. We
will have capacities to handle 5 million standard containers as early as
January 2015, explains Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of
Duisburger Hafen AG.

Advantages of a hub concept

A hub system is a precondition for an efficient multimodal network.
A direct connection is not necessarily the cheapest and fastest choice!
Our position: A creative and intelligent hub management saves time and money.
reduction of costs due to

aggregation of transport volumes

economies of scale
faster delivery on basis of a total intermodal chain perspective
reduction of total intermodal transport time due to

higher frequency of connections (e.g. every 8 hours instead of every 2 days)

therefore best quality performance in just in time or sequence delivery
highest flexibility and short reaction times
A hub attracts customers of specific branches (e.g. automotive sector or chemical industry in Duisburg)

Best practice example: Rail concept

Status Quo

In the current situation the customer operates 17 direct connections a week from Rotterdam to
6 destinations in the hinterland.

Thereby each destination is supplied by a maximum of 1 time daily.

Plan

The rail operator is changing his rail concept and will use Duisburg as central
hub with beginning in April 2014

With the new concept our customer aggregates these volumes by using Duisburg as central hub.

This enables him to offer his clients a minimum of 3 departures from Rotterdam daily and offer
via the duisport network a significant increase of destinations in the hinterland.

Using Duisburg as transport hub enables the rail operators to offer its clients
high-frequent transport solutions with best quality.
