Venice Port Authority: ACTIVITY 2.: UPGRADING AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS OF PORT-RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE Coordinator: Port of Koper Venice Port Authority: Upgrading of the infrastructure of the port railway system in order to: - avoid bottlenecks; - stimulate development and operating efficiency

ACTIVITY 4: FOSTERING INLAND WATERWAYS CONNECTIONS Coordinator: Venice Port Authority Preparation of study (operational model) for the Design of the hinterland connections of the offshore terminal with the comprehensive seaports/inland ports of Chioggia, Porto Levante, and the core inland port of Mantua identification of the operational model of the nautical transfer system of containers to and from the Venice offshore platform.

ACTIVITY 5: ICT ACTIONS TO IMPROVE INTEROPERABILITY AND CORRIDOR INTEGRATION Coordinator: Venice Port Authority Preliminary analysis and definition of technical and functional specifications, design and deployment of interoperable solutions enabling an efficient information exchange between the port of Venice and Trieste and the inland terminal and logistics operator involved in the multimodal and rail freight Corridors crossing the North Adriatic Region. Venice Port Authority Design and development a software prototype application for the management of the rail freight processes and shunting in order improve rail interoperability in the port of Venice;

ACTIVITY 1 RAIL LAYOUT IN PORT Trieste is a Core Port in the Trans European Transport Network. NAPA Studies output – a new port rail layout where 750m-long trains can operate – is essential to prepare Trieste port to comply with the functional and structural rules for the establishment and organisation of rail corridors given by EU Regulation No. 913/2010 - concerning a Competitive European Rail Freight Network – starting in 2015.

ACTIVITY 1 RAIL LAYOUT IN PORT Preliminary analysis is concluded. All feasible solutions for the yard re-qualification have been internally discussed and assessed with regard to operators indications. In fact solutions have to be shared and agreed upon, as they concern and involve infrastructure managers and operators. All actors agree that this NAPA Studies action can increase railway capacity, railway services and CO2 emission reduction.

ACTIVITY 2 ICT SOLUTION Thanks to the Port Community System – PCS, SINFOMAR – Trieste Port Authority is able to guarantee a complete automation of the processes inside the port. NAPA Studies goal is to further develop the PCS for rail freight operations management in the port area, enabling a standardized information exchange among the central systems of the Customs, Maritime administrations, port operators, taking into account all the customs aspects related to the peculiar situation of the Free Port of Trieste.
