Network dynamics in container transport by barge

In a time span of twenty years, container transport by barge has acquired a significant share in the hinterland modal split for containers of the load centres Rotterdam and Antwerp. In other European load centres, barge container transport as yet plays a modest role, but the interest in the barge op...

Depuis les vingt dernières années, le transport conteneurisé par barges a connu une augmentation de part modale significative, des centres logistiques de Rotterdam et Anvers vers leurs arrière-pays. Malgré un intérêt croissant, la part du transport conteneurisé par barge demeure modeste dans les autres centres logistiques européens. L’augmentation du volume conteneurisé transporté par barges, ainsi que le nombre croissant de ports et terminaux intérieurs vont de pair avec les transformations spatiales fondamentales du réseau portuaire intérieur européen. Cet article aborde les changements organisationnels qui ont cours depuis les vingt dernières années dans l’industrie du transport conteneurisé par barges et leurs impacts sur les dynamiques spatiales dans les réseaux maritimes intérieurs européens. L’article analyse les changements structuraux dans les horaires des transporteurs par barges ainsi que les interdépendances fonctionnelles entre les réseaux de terminaux intérieurs européens et les changements organisationnels de l’industrie maritime. L’article conclut par une discussion sur les perspectives futures du développement spatial du réseau de transport maritime intérieur européen par barges.

Network dynamics in container transport by barge
description In a time span of twenty years, container transport by barge has acquired a significant share in the hinterland modal split for containers of the load centres Rotterdam and Antwerp. In other European load centres, barge container transport as yet plays a modest role, but the interest in the barge option is growing. The growth in container volumes by barge and the increase of the number of seaports and inland terminals involved go hand in hand with fundamental spatial developments in the European inland terminal network.This paper addresses the organisational changes in the European barging industry that have taken place in the last twenty years and its impact on the spatial dynamics in the European container barge network. The paper analyses structural changes in liner service schedules by barge and the changing functional interdependencies between inland terminals in the network and organizational changes in the industry. The paper will conclude by discussing future perspectives for the spatial development of the barging network.
