Chris WelshDirector, Global & European Policy
Water & mode shiftpolicy agenda
• Sulphur regulation-avoid reverse mode shift• Grants-respond to the grants review-place water on par with
rail grants regime (Water Freight Grant-Mode Shift Revenue Support)
• Planning & noise abatement-Urban logistics- Water and rail-side access to be preserved to allow alternative mode deliveries where possible-take urban freight agenda to local authorities
• Short-sea shipping/motorways of the sea-Focal Point meetings• Short sea promotion centre meeting on behalf of DfT• The Blue belt initiative• Load matching initiative with retailers-Marco Polo-DG move
targets for mode shift from road to water/rail• EU ports package-ports not fulfilling their true potential
(dredging, mooring, pilotage and towing)
