3. Europe Container Terminals (ECT) founded in 1966 3 deep sea terminals in the Port of Rotterdam 2.200 employees (2012) Volume in 2012: 7,7 million TEU Member of Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) 1. Introduction

5. Rotterdam 10.500 ha 40 km length 11 million TEU

6. Delta Terminal Euromax Terminal City Terminal 1. Introduction

11. 2. Supply Chain Trends Port Developments Growing call-sizes due to Ultra Large Container Ships Modal split obligations by Port Authorities Low utilization of European transport systems (road, waterways and railways) European transport system (infrastructure) reached its maximum Competition between ports: overcapacity HLH-range expected Increasing competition within Rotterdam: Maasvlakte 2 Supply Chain Trends Increasing importance of performance requirements Awareness of environment (CO 2 ) and carbon footprint More focus on security (a.o. ISPS, AEO)

12. 3. Synchromodality

13. Synchromodality: making optimal use of all modes of transport and available capacity, at all times, as an integrated transport solution. Key aspects: Mode free booking Dynamic planning and routing Switching modes of transport in real time Information availability and visibility Decision making based on network utilization Combining transport flows Cooperation

14. ECT develops a network of inland terminals (ECT Extended Gate®) and bundles containers on the main corridors from/to its deep sea terminals Daily and dedicated barge and rail connections by EGS and partners Scheduled, planned, operated on both sides of the inland supply chain Developing additional services to support the supply chain 4. European Gateway Services

16. Building blocks Logistics Security Visibility Customs Track & trace as part of EGS web services Integrated secure lane (ISPS level) Document free chain (paperless) Scheduling, planning, transport Emission Supports reduction of CO 2 emission 4. European Gateway Services

17. Postponing the commercial release to a hinterland gate ‘Pushing containers to the hinterland’ using EGS Improved prediction of physical container availability after discharge, allowing for improved hinterland planning. More awareness of the hinterland transport links. Combining container data, EGS-booking data and hinterland transport data. Extended Line Release Discharge Predictor Synchromodal Dashboard 5. COMCIS topics Carrier release + customs release + physical availability  hinterland Paperless service (customs)

18. 5. COMCIS Data Consolidation Data Standardization Data Aggregation Build on top of results of Integrity: aggregate data of terminals, carriers, customs, hinterland operations. Standardize data across ECT and EGS: one booking, one status, one container release, etc. One integrated dashboard, with consolidated data, ready for operational use to manage sea- hinterland operations

19. 5. COMCIS: Results Extended Line Release Carrier release + customs release + physical availability  hinterland Development of company-wide release management as part of IT- architecture Tried & tested; further roll-out beyond COMCIS Interest confirmed by carriers for carrier-haulage containers: Improvement possible for 46% of containers or 12% if paperless customs service is used) Significant reduction in time spent at the terminal -33% for all containers -74% when combined with paperless customs service Attractiveness of Rotterdam as Gateway to Europe confirmed using statistical analysis (TNO World Container Model™) +2,5% increase in volume over competitors ?Further legal and commercial agreements required ?High-impact on IT and operations

20. 5. COMCIS: Results Discharge predictor Carrier release + customs release + physical availability  hinterland Reduction in lead time of up to 42 hours Data aggregation: load plans, crane planning, carrier ETA Tried & tested; further roll-out beyond COMCIS 95%+ accurate predictions 97% accuracy in operations (no removal from load-list) Reduction in administrative effort by operators/planners confirmed Currently being rolled-out as part of the ECT/EGS IT-architecture Used internally; future option: external use in e-services

21. 5. COMCIS: Results Synchromodal dashboard Carrier release + customs release + physical availability  hinterland The synchromodal dashboard consolidates data on carrier release, customs release, availability and planned hinterland transport. Used as an operational tool by European Gateway Services. ?Currently being implemented and evaluated Concept matches ECT expectations

22. 5. Summary European Gateway Services as a strategic development within ECT COMCIS provides enhanced visibility to ‘push’ containers to the hinterland Extended Line Release  take away the commercial release barrier Discharge Predictor  physical availability Synchromodal Dashboard  linking terminal and hinterland operations Concepts proven within COMCIS; further commercial roll-out already started
