Barge Traffic System

Barge Traffic System
What?
• Free web application developed by Port of Antwerp in close cooperation with the container barge sector
• Slot demand system for container barges
- Resulting in scheduled terminal visits for each barge operator
- Implying efficient container barge handling
• Target group
- Barge operators
- Terminal operators
“Taking into account that a container barge calls 8 container terminals on an
average port stay, there was a clear necessity to develop a coordinated approach in
order to harmonise barge handling in the port.”
Barge Traffic System
Why?
SINCE BTS
SIMPLIFIED process of container barge handling
One working method
One central communication
platform Transparency
Harmonised approach
BEFORE BTS
COMPLEX process of container barge handling
Multiple working methods
Poor communication
No transparency No coordinated
approach
• 6 innovative barge projects
in the port with the aim to:
– Raise the efficiency and
reduce the transit times of
inland navigation
– Promote the use of this
mode
• In close cooperation with
the different stakeholders
