Definitions Shortsea EU Shortsea shipping means the movement of cargo and passengers by sea between ports situated in geographical Europe or between those ports and ports situated in non European countries having a coastline on the enclosed seas Bordering Europe. Shortsea shipping includes domestic and international maritime transport, including feeder services, along the coast, to and from the islands, rivers and lakes. The concept of short sea shipping also extends to maritime transport between the Member States of the Union and Norway and Iceland and other States on the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

Shortsea in perspective  Major part is non-liner services  dry and wet bulk  neo bulk  in Europe more than 60% is dry or liquid bulk  More than 50% of total transhipment in all Dutch ports is shortsea  Shortsea tonnes in containers, all Dutch ports is about 16%  Mix of feeder and intra European containers

14. Types of shortsea cargo 

15. Shortsea containers  Feeder containers  Schedule follows deepsea carrier  Intra- European containers  Schedule according to market demand  Competing with road transport Often on the same vessels !
