Smart cities and regions need intelligent ports. Luís Valente de Oliveira, European Coordinator for Motorways of the Sea P 4

Foreword Ports are more than ever on the European maps. The new policy framework for the Trans-European Transport Networks does this in the most literal sense, both as comprehensive and core network. Ports are generally expected to play a key role in meeting the ambitious objectives of the European Commission s Transport Policy White Paper. And, yes, a new ports package is in the making, which will revive some of the well-known regulatory issues we dealt with a few years ago. We have quite a few challenges ahead therefore and I am happy that we have with ESPO a strong organisation that will be able to provide a clear response on behalf of the sector. The time and resources we invested in the past years in developing our network and know-how, be it in the field of port performance, governance or sustainability, will now come in very handy. We owe a lot of this to the efforts of our Technical Committees, which form the backbone of the ESPO structure. They constitute a formidable network of port professionals that all contribute on a voluntary basis to our work, despite the very busy schedules they have in their own ports. I would like to thank them, and the Committee chairmen, for the sense of community they relentlessly demonstrate. The foundations of any organisation are its members, and I think we should do even more in ESPO to reach out to all those individual ports out there. A daunting task given the sheer number of them, but one we should not shy away from. It is essential if we want to continue taking a united, credible and constructive stance on behalf of that great community of European ports that we represent. Victor Schoenmakers Chairman of ESPO P 5

Most European port authorities have renaissance ambitions, but the diversity in governance frameworks either limits or enables those. ESPO Port Governance Fact-Finding Report

1. Port Governance The European Commission s new Transport Policy White Paper announced a review of European ports policy, with a particular focus on restrictions existing in the market of port services. In September this year, Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas confirmed the aim to design a new ports package by the beginning of 2013 which would essentially look at administrative simplification, market access and financial transparency. The preparation of the package would be accompanied by a consultation of stakeholders. In its initial response, ESPO first of all expressed its willingness to constructively contribute to the process. For ESPO, the Ports Policy Communication that followed the withdrawal of the Port Services Directive still forms a good framework for action. The main added value of a new ports package would lie in elaborating certain parts of that Communication, notably where it concerns enhancing the level playing field, creating greater transparency and striking a balance between investment continuity and market openness. In that respect, ESPO continues to favour non-legislative measures and instruments. These match better with the diversity of European ports and would be proportional to the already competitive nature of the ports industry. Clear guidance will help responsible governments, port authorities and service providers to function within the European framework. Meanwhile, the Commission has already started a number of preparatory studies, notably on dock labour, technical-nautical services (in particular pilotage exemption certificates) and State aid. The latter study is being carried out on behalf of DG Competition. The results of these studies are expected for spring 2012. Finally, the long-announced social dialogue on ports is also expected to take off in the near future. The formal request to set up the sectoral dialogue has been sent to the European Commission early 2011 and the Commission responded with a request for information to verify the representativeness of the parties concerned. During the past year, ESPO had a number of consultative meetings with the services of DG Markt on their initiative to create a new horizontal instrument on service concessions and its application to the port sector. It is a fact that contractual relationships between port authorities and terminal operators in Europe are varied in nature. Rather than getting in a legalistic dispute about the definition of concessions, ESPO prefers to follow the principle that fairness and transparency obligations must always apply when port authorities decide to entrust a third party with a portion of port land for the provision of cargo-handling services. In this context, ESPO believes first of all that the pragmatic approach taken in the Ports Policy Communication should continue to prevail. It recognises the discretionary powers of port authorities in setting selection criteria and specifies that transparency obligations must only apply where they matter, i.e. in case there is a sufficient connection with the functioning of the internal market. Secondly, ESPO agrees that incumbent terminal operators should not have an unconditional and automatic right of prolongation. Contract durations have to be limited and proportional to depreciation, allowing a reasonable return on investment, but maintaining at the same time a risk inherent in exploitation. However, ESPO believes that if an incumbent operator is performing well and commits itself to continued investments, there should be scope for prolonging its agreement with the port authority. ESPO concretely recommends that prolongation options should be anticipated in the original agreement and that arbitrary modifications should be avoided. In May this year, ESPO published a new version of its Fact-Finding Report on port governance. The report was based on an extensive survey among port authorities and was presented during the ESPO Annual Conference in Cyprus. The Fact-Finding Report provides an overview of the objectives and functions of European port authorities, their institutional frameworks and financial capabilities. The report clearly demonstrates that most port authorities in Europe essentially see themselves as facilitators, both towards the business community and societal stakeholders. The institutional framework is crucial in enabling port authorities to play this role to the fullest extent. Differences in this respect are mainly regionally determined, with port authorities in southern Europe being typically more limited in their autonomy. Finally, in November 2010, the second ESPO Award on Societal Integration of Ports was given to the Port of Helsinki for its project Port as Part of the City. The port authority was awarded thanks to its determination to maintain port activities in the city centre, thus sustaining the maritime identity of Helsinki. The Jury was also impressed by the port s continuous interactive dialogue with local community stakeholders to achieve this goal and the port authority s investments in shore-side electricity, waste reception facilities and other ways to integrate port activities sustainably within the urban environment. P 7

When a container is transported from Gdansk to Antwerp by lorry, then that container remains within the EU and the goods do not have to be customs-cleared on arrival or departure. However, when you ship the same container from Gdansk to Antwerp, you first have to clear the goods on departure and then again on arrival, as if that container has left the EU. That is to the detriment of coastal transport and I think the Commission is right in wanting to rectify this disadvantage. Dirk Sterckx, former MEP

2. Intermodal Transport and Logistics The beginning of 2011 was marked by the publication of the Commission s Transport Policy White Paper. It consists of a roadmap of 40 concrete initiatives for the next decade to build a competitive transport system that will increase mobility, remove major barriers and stimulate growth and employment. At the same time, the proposals aim to dramatically reduce Europe s dependence on imported oil and cut transport carbon emissions with 60% by 2050. To meet this goal, the Commission wants to achieve a ban on conventionally-fuelled cars in cities, 40% use of sustainable low carbon fuels in aviation, at least 40% cut in shipping emissions and a 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport. For seaports, the White Paper announces initiatives in the field of infrastructure, services, financing, safety and security. Initiatives for infrastructure concern the integration of ports into the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T). The Commission expects that the multimodal TEN-T core network will be fully functional by 2030, with a high quality and capacity network by 2050 and a corresponding set of information services. By that time all core seaports should be sufficiently connected to the rail freight network and, where possible, to the inland waterway system. On infrastructure generally, the Commission wants to streamline procedures for projects of overriding European interest in order to ensure reasonable time limits to complete the whole cycle of procedures, to ensure a communication framework that is in line with the project implementation and to foresee integrated planning which takes environmental issues into account in early stages of the planning procedure. As regards modal share, the Commission expects that, for distances over 300 km, 30% of road freight shifts to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050. To facilitate this, the Commission confirmed its ambition to complete the internal market for shipping through the development of a Blue Belt and corresponding Blue Lanes in ports. The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) launched a Blue Belt pilot project in May with the overall objective to facilitate vessel operations on intra-eu trading routes. The pilot project provides local customs authorities with vessel voyage information supplied by the EMSA-operated SafeSeaNet. Upon successful assessment of the pilot project, due at the beginning of 2012, existing procedures may be reviewed and adjusted in favour of a permanent blue belt reporting system. ESPO called for the involvement of port authorities in the project and is contributing to the evaluation of the pilot impact. ESPO expects that the Blue Belt pilot will bring changes to procedures in order to ease administrative burdens for intra-eu trade. The White Paper also outlines a timetable for the internalisation of external costs. In particular, in the longer term (2016 to 2020), the Commission plans measures to internalise costs for local pollution and noise in ports. ESPO believes that a policy framework ensuring that prices applied by service providers reflect all costs, both internal and external, would theoretically favour more environmentally-friendly transport modes such as short-sea shipping, rail and inland navigation. However, pricing is far from being the only factor which determines the choice of a transport mode. A cost-recovery system for externalities for all modes of transport should therefore be integrated in a broader approach, together with the creation of an integrated transport network, administrative simplification and harmonisation and the earmarking of revenues for investment in sustainable infrastructure projects. For ESPO, any initiative leading to increased transport costs should be approached with care and ensure that the result is in the end not counterproductive to Europe s overall competitiveness and more in particular to environmentally friendly transport modes such as waterborne transport. P 9

In February this year, the Commission presented a methodology paper for the planning and implementation of the new TEN-T policy. The paper sets out the basic principles for the development of the comprehensive and core network. In its response to the methodology paper, ESPO reiterated its support for the dual layer approach that the Commission proposed earlier. This approach consists of the priority development of a core infrastructure network that is based on a broad underlying comprehensive network. The core network would be based on a selection of nodal points, of which seaports form an essential component. For ESPO, the selection criteria for ports should allow the core network to be futureoriented and be sufficiently robust to anticipate future needs and trends for the next 10 to 20 years. Ports in the core network should have potential for decarbonisation and limitation of external costs. They should also have a gateway function linking the main EU markets with the rest of the world, connect between maritime and land-based networks, be responsive to market needs and be reliable. There needs to be a good spread of core network ports around Europe but, on the other hand, a degree of consolidation is necessary to collect positive economies of scale, also in terms of sustainability. The key challenge in the design of the core network is to find an appropriate balance between these two principles. ESPO sees the review of the TEN-T guidelines also as a good opportunity to review the position of Motorways of the Sea, integrating it as the maritime section of the core network. Motorways of the Sea should no longer be seen as port-to-port connections but as services connecting hinterlands. The actual proposal for the guidelines is expected for October 2011, together with the proposal for the financial framework. Earlier this year, ESPO and EFIP developed a common position paper on EU rail policy, concentrating mainly on the recast of the First Railway Package. The paper identifies the main challenges and concerns European maritime and inland ports are facing today regarding the functioning of European railways. Among these features the improvement of rail links to and from port areas, which should be optimised to guarantee a non discriminatory access for all railway undertakings to the port area. Improving these links is an important element in completing the TEN-T network. Other challenges that need to be addressed relate to the national focus of railways, the lack of demand-driven investments in rail freight infrastructure, the preferential treatment of incumbent undertakings, opaque and unfair pricing regimes and the low reliability levels for non-prescheduled rail freight trains. For ports, there is a clear sense of urgency in achieving a single European railway network which will help guaranteeing an efficient use of existing railway capacity. ESPO and EFIP call for the removal of remaining legal, technical and political barriers without further delay. Prior to the autumn meeting of the Intermodal and Logistics Committee, ESPO organised an internal workshop on EU customs policy. The aim was to identify which role, if any, port authorities can take on the development of E-Customs, the Modernized Customs Code and its implementing provisions and on administrative simplification in general. The workshop also compared views of terminal operators, port community system operators and ship owners. P 10

3. Sustainable Development Since 1 January 2011, EcoPorts officially integrated within the ESPO structure. As from that moment, ESPO has been the party responsible for the management of the EcoPorts network of ports and the dissemination of the well established EcoPorts tools Self Diagnosis Methodology (SDM) and Port Environmental Review System (PERS) within Europe and in neighbouring countries. As a result, the EcoPorts tools are now available to the whole ESPO membership and the trends to date clearly demonstrate an increased interest of ports in joining EcoPorts and using the tools through the new online gateway at www.ecoports.com. The integration of EcoPorts within ESPO aims towards extending the progress achieved by the sector on port environmental management through the guiding principles of ports sharing experiences and voluntary self regulation. In line with the same principles, ESPO is working on updating its Environmental Code of Practice which was last reviewed back in 2003. The new ESPO Green Guide will be re-establishing the vision on sustainability and will be identifying common ways for implementing environmental ambitions. The Guide will be examining the instruments that are commonly available in the disposition of port authorities. The aim is to develop a common approach towards responsible action, without losing sight of the diversity of ports, their competences and their abilities. The main environmental issues that will be addressed within the Guide are: air quality, energy consumption and climate change, noise, waste and water management. The first outcomes of the work were presented by representatives of the ESPO Sustainable Development Committee during the Greenport Congress in Hamburg, which was held in September this year. They were very well received by the participants. The ESPO Green Guide is expected to be published mid 2012. Further in relation to port sector voluntary initiatives, substantial progress has been achieved this year with the Environmental Ship Index (ESI), which is one of the major projects under the World Port Climate Initiative (WPCI) umbrella. Designed by a group of major European ports, and under the coordination of the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH), the index addresses the environmental performance of ships in terms of the emission of major air pollutants (NOx and SOx) and CO2. Ships voluntarily provide their performance data to the ESI website while port authorities voluntarily provide incentives to reward the cleaner ships based on their ESI score. ESPO continues its support and facilitation towards the WPCI projects, endorsing all technical developments and having an informative and disseminative role. Ship exhaust emissions have been high on the political agenda during the course of the year. On 15 July, the European Commission adopted a proposal for amending Directive 1999/32/EC on the sulphur content of marine fuels. The amendment mainly aligns the Directive with the latest IMO provisions, incorporating those in EU law. Under the proposals, the maximum permissible sulphur content of maritime fuels used in sensitive areas (Sulphur Emission Control Areas) will fall from the previous level of 1.5 % to 0.1 %, as of 1 January 2015. Other areas are to achieve a cut from 4.5 % down to 0.5 % by 1 January 2020. Recognising the challenging nature of the new limits and in order to foster sustainable and competitive shipping, the Commission will develop, in 2012, a series of medium and long-term measures within the framework of a Sustainable Waterborne Transport Toolbox. ESPO is following closely the developments in this field and the ongoing political process. P 11

Air pollution does not stop at borders. Land sources have been subject to the attention of regulators for a while, and the time has now come for the maritime sector to deliver its fair share, all the more so as the impacts on air quality are felt far beyond coastal areas. Environment Commissioner Janez PotoČčnik

Also in July, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) adopted mandatory measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from international shipping. The agreement represented the first ever mandatory global GHG reduction regime for an international industry sector. The European Commission congratulated IMO on the adoption of the Energy Efficiency Design Index, however it is not certain whether this may stop unilateral EU action altogether. The Commission has for a while been assessing the impact of regional measures such as mandatory slow steaming through the application of speed limits, the introduction of a bunkering levy, and the introduction of an emission trading scheme in view of fulfilling its international commitments for carbon emissions reduction. The Commission is expected to make a formal recommendation by the end of 2011. In addition, the European Commission presented in April this year a proposal to amend its Directive on taxation of energy products and electricity. ESPO particularly welcomed the provision to exempt shoreside electricity from taxation. Together with the European Shipowners Association ECSA, ESPO had lobbied for such a tax exemption. Finally, in the field of sustainable port development, the Commission s guidelines on the implementation of Birds and Habitats Directives in estuaries and coastal zones were published on 15 March this year. The guidelines make particular reference to port development and dredging and are accompanied by a Commission working paper which places the recommendations in a policy context. ESPO welcomed the publication of the guidelines and the accompanying working paper. In particular, ESPO expressed its satisfaction about the preparatory process, which was based on a constructive dialogue with EC services and stakeholders. P 13

The simplification of administrative procedures for maritime transport is an important step, not only because it will reduce the costs of maritime transport, which is used to deliver almost 40% of goods within the Internal Market, but also because maritime transport is a cleaner and safer form of transport Siim Kallas, Commission Vice-President responsible for transport

4. Marine Affairs and Security The long pending process of reviewing Directive 2000/59/EC which regulates the provision and use of port reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues got a new boost in spring this year. As part of the ongoing impact assessment, the Commission launched a stakeholder consultation that ran from July till September. The aim of the impact assessment is to identify possible improvements in the implementation of the Directive. The main options include minor amendments to the Directive with parallel provision of guidance or a broader legislative reform. ESPO favours the first option. It feels that better implementation of the Directive s provisions can be achieved through better monitoring and enforcing and through the provision of guidance in certain key areas. ESPO is very willing to contribute to the development of specific guidance, liaising with the European Commission, Member States and other stakeholders. The Commission s new Transport Policy White Paper also outlines actions in the field of marine affairs and security. On port services, the Commission plans to review general restrictions for pilotage and establish a framework for the granting of Pilot Exemption Certificates (PECs) in EU ports. The process started this year already. A consultation meeting has been organised and a study from the European Commission is about to be assigned, aiming to demonstrate the different applied frameworks for granting PECs in Europe and to analyse the pros and cons of pilotage services and PECs frameworks in terms of safety, environment and cost. ESPO closely follows the developments in this field and will be contributing to the study. In addition, within the White Paper the Commission announced the development of SafeSeaNet as the core system for all relevant maritime information tools needed to support maritime safety and security and the protection of the marine environment from ship-source pollution. The issue of electronic data exchange remains high on the agenda also in relation to the implementation of Directive 2010/65/EU on ship reporting formalities. The Directive requires Member States to transpose it into national regulations by May 2012, while as of June 2015 a single window has to be operational. In the beginning of this year an expert group, bringing together specialists from Member States, was established in order to address challenges related to the single window and also to work towards the implementation of the FAL forms in an appropriate electronic format. ESPO participates as observer in the expert group and will continue following up the progress made in this field. Finally, spring 2011 was marked by the Fukushima nuclear power station accident in Japan. The arrival of the first ships from Japan to European ports raised alarming discussions regarding the safe handling of those ships due to the potential danger of high radioactivity levels. A regulation imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 26 March. In addition, in several European ports inspections were held on board of arriving ships. P 15

The idea of publicly comparing performance of ports is still something of a taboo. In other sectors, for instance aviation and railways, it is quite accepted already to publish performance indicators in an open and transparent manner. Also ports in other parts of the world seem to be embracing a culture of benchmarking. Victor Schoenmakers, Chairman of ESPO

5. Economic Analysis and Statistics The PPRISM project, which is developing a series of performance indicators for the European port system, continued its progress during the past working year. The second Work Package, during which internal and external stakeholders assessed the academic pre-selection of indicators, started already in September 2010. In a first stage, internal stakeholders (port authorities) were consulted through four PPRISM workshops, combined with the Technical Committee meetings of ESPO. This resulted in a short-list of 39 indicators. As part of the project methodology, a second round of internal assessment of the indicators took place in November and December. In the following phase, launched in January 2011, external stakeholders assessed the proposed indicators. To that end, PPRISM partners prepared an easy-to-use online survey through which external stakeholders could assess those indicators within their own field of expertise or interest. The exercise received numerous responses from business and societal stakeholders. To complete the picture, a meeting with the relevant European stakeholder organisations was held in Brussels on 27 April to gather their views on the project and on the concrete indicators that were currently being assessed. At the annual ESPO Conference in Cyprus, PPRISM was also on top of the agenda. The PPRISM project partners presented the interim results and outlined the development of what is expected to be the outcome of the project, a European dashboard on port performance. With PPRISM, ESPO intends to create a culture of performance measurement and reporting in the sector which today is far from being general practice. As a first step in this learning process, PPRISM is not looking at the performance of individual ports and terminals, but focuses mainly on the performance of the port system as a whole. Work Package 2 resulted in a shortlist of fourteen indicators. Work Package 3, which started in May, aims to test practical implementation requirements for the shortlist of indicators through a European-wide pilot project. Around 400 port authorities associated with ESPO received end of July a user-friendly form with data requirements for the selected indicators, to be completed by 15 September. The pilot was conceived as a crucial test for the actual feasibility of the selected indicators and for data collection at European level. The process is expected to identify data comparability issues and it will allow to further refine calculation methods, data collection procedures and analysis of the indicators. Addressing such problems at this preliminary stage will enable the smooth set-up of a European Port Sector Dashboard once PPRISM is concluded. The last Work Package, which started in September, will indeed provide a concrete proposal on how to set up and articulate the Dashboard, presenting recommendations on its organisational, process-related and financial characteristics. On 19 September, a workshop on port performance measurement was organised by PPRISM partners in cooperation with the Commission to present the project s progress to the Commission services and Member States representations. PPRISM received good appraisal and gained support for its continuation. P 17

Cruise lines obviously want premium berthing locations near the city centre. On the one hand this helps in re-establishing a maritime atmosphere in port cities, but on the other hand it creates challenges on air quality, noise, congestion and security. Eeva Hietanen, Chairman of the ESPO Passenger Committee P 18

6. Passengers During its first year of operation, ESPO s newly established Passenger Committee focused on the implementation of the ship passenger rights Regulation, which was published in December last year and which will take effect by the end of 2012. The Regulation covers the rights of passengers when travelling by sea and inland waterway. Among these rights is the right to information or compensation in case of delay or cancellation of a journey. In addition, the new rules also offer people with a disability or reduced mobility protection when travelling by water. ESPO is concretely monitoring the implementation process in Member States and may develop further guidance to its cruise and ferry ports. The Committee is furthermore developing a policy on the city-port interface. This is particularly crucial for ferry and cruise activities, which are often located close to city centers. The main emphasis will be on operational aspects, such as berth allocation systems, and externalities, mainly emissions, noise and waste. These are being developed in close relation with the Sustainable Development Committee. Other topics on the agenda include administrative procedures and border controls. The Committee maintains a close relation with the cruise port organisations MedCruise and Cruise Europe, as well as with the European Cruise Council (ECC). ESPO was instrumental in setting up the first ECC Port Summit, which was held in Brussels in June this year. The event focused both on operational and strategic aspects, addressing ship-shore interface issues, including berthing requirements and the use of waste reception facilities.

8. ESPO Structure and Membership ESPO membership consists of the port authorities, port administrations and port associations of the seaports of the European Union. The organisation is furthermore open to observer members from countries neighbouring the EU. The membership structure is organised on national level and finds its reflection in the General Assembly of the organisation where each EU member country has three official delegates (and in some instance official proxies or alternates) with voting right. Non-EU countries have one observer delegate each. The General Assembly sets the overall policy of the organisation and meets twice a year. It elects the Chairman and two Vice-Chairmen of ESPO. For the period 2010-2012, ESPO is chaired by Victor Schoenmakers (The Netherlands), assisted by Vice-Chairmen Manuel Gómez Martín (Spain) and Julian Skelnik (Poland). The General Assembly mandates the daily policy-making of the organisation to the Executive Committee which consists of one representative per EU member country and a number of observers. It meets about five times a year. A series of Technical Committees provide technical recommendations to the Executive Committee on specific subjects which fall within their scope of competence. There are seven standing committees, dealing with port governance, intermodality and logistics, sustainable development, marine affairs and security, economic analysis and statistics, passengers and labour and operations. In addition, a horizontal advisory committee for legal matters works on an ad-hoc basis. The ESPO Secretariat is responsible for the overall coordination of the organisation s activities, including policy advice, communication, representation and administrative management. The Secretariat is based in Brussels and consists of Patrick Verhoeven (Secretary General), Isabelle Ryckbost (Senior Advisor), Martina Fontanet and Antonis Michail (Policy Advisors), Cécile Overlau (Events and Office Manager, PA), Ombeline d Hollander (Office Assistant), Daniëlla Arbyn (Communications Assistant) and Jeanette Voosen (Consulting Accountant). ESPO also runs the secretariat of EcoPorts and is holding a joint office with the European Federation of Inland Ports (EFIP). P 21
