e-IMPACT

 
Most important challenges

Adaptation and pilot implementation of the eFreight standard for information exchange in European ports, including the application of the eFreight standard for information exchange in three TEN-T network corridors: the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Baltic/Adriatic one.
 
Results

The pilot application of the eFreight standard will involve various IT solutions, including:

• an IT system to enable/improve multimodal transport and logistic planning as well as logistics management integrated with transport management systems,
• multimodal route planning for freight transport,
• tracking and tracing tools,
• smart cargo applications,
• tools for the implementation of transport documents,
• IT infrastructure for information exchange, user authorisation and authentication: eFreight connectivity infrastructure,
• support for interoperability between the standards.

 
Benefits

The pilot use of the eFreight standard will be applied in TEN-T ports, their logistics environment and between multimodal nodes of the three TEN-T transport corridors. The ports involved in the project are: Trieste (Italy), Leixoes and Lisbon (Portugal), Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin and Świnoujście (Poland). The tasks of the Polish “pilot” are carried out jointly by Łukasiewicz – the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing, the Baltic Container Terminal in Gdynia and technological partner – Qmak.
