THE PHILOSOPHY OF OPTIMED
REQUIREMENTS : To increase reliability and performance of maritime mode To decrease times and costs of maritime mode respect to road mode All ports of origin/destination have to be covered Social and environmental sustainability
HOW TO DO IT?BY TRANSFORMING THE LOGIC OF DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS BY SEA
SPOT CONNECTIONS
NEW NETWORK SYSTEM CHARACTERIZED BY
REGULAR AND RELIABLE FREQUENCIES AND
MORE COMPETITIVE TRAVEL TIMES

1.1 Collection of the trade volumes exchanged between the involved countries
1.2 Collection of the technical and organisational characteristics of the involved ports
1.3 Collection of the information on the trading goods of several manufacturing
companies between the selected areas
THE OPTIMED PROJECT IS DIVIDED 6 PHASES
Collection of the import/export volumes between areas and ports
OUTPUT: O/D matricesTrade relationships goods between the three EU countries with the seven Middle
East countries generate 21 O/D matrices
Trade volumes will be collected in terms of:
tons of freight; financial value (US $).
Data will be divided and examined by:
product category; transportation mode.
Selected period
five-year period 2008-2012.
1.1 COLLECTION OF THE IMPORT/EXPORT CARGO FLOWS
1.2 COLLECTION OF SUPPLY DATA
PORT NODES
CONSTRAINTS - Technical loading/unloading times (calculated using different handling systems) - Average travel distances in the port YARD CAPACITY - Number of the available slots in the yard - Average dwell time of goods in the yard EFFICIENCY - Inland connections COST - Port charges/handling charges
LINKS
LINE FREQUENCY LINE CAPACITY - Load Factor LINE TRAVEL TIME - Sailing speed for different vessels COST OF THE GOODS CARRIED ENVIRONMENTAL COST - Knowledge on the naval fleet - Engine performance
DATA WILL BE COLLECTED THROUGH INTERVIEWS INVOLVING THE VARIOUS PORTS SELECTED
DATA WILL BE COLLECTED THROUGH INTERVIEWS INVOLVING A NUMBER OF VESSEL OPERATORS THAT OPERATE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA
