THE PORT
balance 2011
Record growth in goods handling of 18 per cent
duisport Group: positive balance 2011
Erich Staake, CEO and President of the duisport Group in discussion.
Total handling in the Port of Duisburg, including the private works ports, gained 10 per cent to 125.6 million in 2011. Of this 64
Million t was accounted for by duisport Group ports, which reached a new record with a plus of 18 per cent and a share of over
50 per cent for the first time. With total output of around 149 million euros, a slight rise on the previous year, the result before
taxes on income improved by 20 per cent to 10.5 million euros. “The good total output and the above average increase in goods
handling impressively prove the dynamic development of the location. In 2011 we were able to realize the best result in the history of the Port of Duisburg,” said Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of Duisburger Hafen AG, at the annual press conference
on March 22, 2012.
(dü) Revenue relevant ship and rail handling in the duisport Group’s ports also
achieved an excellent result of 33 Million
t. The increase of ship handling by 20 per
cent to 17 Million t is particularly pleasing. Rail handling grew by 14 per cent to
16 million t. Coal, iron and steel as well as
chemicals developed disproportionately
positively. Containers, the most important
goods segment, achieved very pleasing
growth with a plus of 10 per cent to reach
2.5 million TEU. “Reaching this new
record in 2012 is our goal, of course.
However, the overall economic situation
and global weakening tendencies will not
make it easy,” said Erich Staake.
This extremely positive development is
being taken into account by the further
development and new construction of
important infra- and suprastructure projects
in the Port of Duisburg. In addition to a
new KV terminal, which the duisport
Group will complete in Hohenbudberg in
the south of the logport site by the end of
the year, the DB Schenker subsidiary RBH
will significantly expand its capacities on
the Kohleinsel in the Port of Duisburg by
2014. Furthermore, Deutsche Bahn is
building the first of two mega hubs in Germany for combined transport in the north
of the Port of Duisburg. “These strategic
course settings are creating excellent condi-
tions for future growth in goods transport,”
said Erich Staake.
The intermodal logistics turntable Duisburg
also impressively proved its attractiveness
for companies wishing to relocate last year.
Thus the duisport Group built a further
logistics complex for Kühne + Nagel on
one of the last undeveloped plots in logport
I, where up to three halls and an office
building with a total of 22,000 m² hall
space will emerge by the end of July 2012.
Thus Kühne + Nagel is expanding its location in the Port of Duisburg to 190,000 m²
of hall space and is developing Duisburg
into its most important location worldwide.
balance 2011
“The variety of customers is continually
growing,” enthused Erich Staake. “With
the location of the subsidiary of an important corporation from Saudi Arabia on the
Mercatorinsel we are intensifying our customer connections in the Arab world.”
Regional activities have ever stronger
effects
With growth of 10 per cent in containers
and 18 per cent overall, duisport was well
over the planned figures for the first time
with a plus of 5 to 6 per cent for 2011,
enthused Staake. However, Europe’s most
important hinterland hub is also growing
much quicker than the seaports Rotterdam
and Antwerp in the current year. Staake
sees the reasons for this well above average
expansion to be organic growth among the
companies located in the port, additional
quantities from businesses that have relocated there and the duisport Group’s own
activities in packing logistics, heavy cargo
and project logistics and organizing new
train connections in combined transport.
“The proportion of maritime goods in total
volumes is only 50 per cent today, so that
the strong growth of regionally related
activities has correspondingly larger
effects,” said Staake, explaining the background.
He continued that it was also pleasing that
at 20 per cent the ship area had grown
stronger than rail transport for the first
time. Staake sees the causes for this to be
firstly, stronger growth in mineral oil products, chemicals, imported coal, ores and
steel products and secondly, in the new
transport quantities for inland waterways
from packing logistics as well as heavy
cargo and project logistics. “duisport packing logistics new logistics centre is humming and we have almost daily departures
to the seaports – transport quantities that
have mainly been taken off both the roads
and rails onto ships. It is a similar story in
heavy cargo and project loading, which is
handled in the Heavylift Terminal Duisburg,” said Staake.
Most important German inland coal hub
“As what was once Germany’s largest coal
export port, Duisburg has also completed a

reported Staake. Eight handling businesses

with this fuel, which is primarily imported
from South Africa, Poland, Columbia, Australia and China today. “Thus Duisburg is
the most important inland hub in Germany,
which is why further investments are being
made in its development,” enthused Staake.
In Staake’s opinion chemicals will create
further growth impulses in future: “The
chemical industry is building new locations
worldwide whose products are later refined
in Germany. With the location of the most
important European chemical forwarders at
locations in Duisburg in the past few years,
the region has become a leading service
centre for chemical companies based on
the Lower Rhine and in the Ruhr region.”
The Port of Duisburg Group is planning to
invest around 100 million euros in developing its business in the period 2012 to 2014.
“As before we see very positive perspectives in our logistics business fields and
want to grow faster than the market, as we
have up to now,” concluded Erich Staake.
New start in the Ruhr region:
industry and logistics take stock
The Ruhr region, Germany’s largest industrial region, has accomplished a structural change away from mining and steel to the
modern. More and more companies are joining the beacons with the illustrious names and great traditions. They are convinced
by the advantages of a location in the Ruhr metropolis in the middle of the heart of Europe. The Initiativkreis Ruhr is taking this
opportunity to hold an event with top class attendees in Düsseldorf at the beginning of September.
(krum) “NRW location advantage: industry and logistics – partners with perspectives“ is the subject of the congress, which
the Initiativkreis is organizing together
with the business newspaper “Handelsblatt” in the hotel “Maritim” at Düsseldorf
Airport on September 5 and 6. The speakers and discussion participants will
include top managers such as Dr. Johannes
Teyssen (E.ON), Dr. Klaus Engel (Evonik),
Karl Gernandt (Kühne + Nagel) and Bernd
Tönjes (RAG). The leading politicians
whose agreement to attend is still hoped
for by the organizers include the re-elected
NRW Premier Hannelore Kraft (SPD).
“With this event we want to document
how industry, logistics service providers
and science have created an expert, creative mechanism in the Ruhr metropolis
that offers the best conditions for corporate success in a globalized world,”
explained Erich Staake, head of the Executive Board of Duisburger Hafen AG and
Chairman of the Logistics Working Group
in the Initiativkreis Ruhr.
Cost effective efficiency, flexible reactions
to changes, absolute safety for people and
cargo, optimized ecology despite rising
transport output – these, according to
Staake, are the challenges of the new start
in the Ruhr region. He added that precisely the industrial heart of the Federal State
NRW offered optimal conditions for the
successful interplay of industrial processes
and logistics services with its outstanding
infrastructure, the waterways and tracks
in particular.
The congress participants, who are expected from throughout Germany, will deal
with aspects such as division of labor, globalization, sustainability and digitalization
in various discussion rounds. First hand
experiences and assessments will be presented. To start, the Swiss scientist Dr.
Bertrand Piccard will present his vision of
flying using only the power of the sun. His
aircraft prototype has not only been in the
air for hours but day and night too.

THE PORT
São Paulo-Santos logistics corridor

duisport prepares concept for the São Paulo
Handover of the Management Summary to Brazilian President Rousseff
In March 2011 an agreement was signed between Duisburger Hafen AG and the Brazilian ports ministry to support the government to prepare a logistics concept for the São Paulo-Santos logistics corridor. This logistics corridor connects the port city
Santos with the Serra do Mar plateau and the mega city São Paulo. Prior to signing the agreement mutual consultations were
held over a long period in Duisburg and Brazil.
(jfr) With nearly 420,000 inhabitants the
city of Santos is the most important port
city in Latin America and the administrative centre of the metropolitan region
Baixada Santista. In goods handling terms
the port is the largest port in Brazil and in
Latin America. In 2010 the port was able
to post container traffic of 2.72 million
TEU and total handling of 96 million t. In
comparison, duisport recorded container
handling of 2.25 million TEU and total
handling of 54 million t in 2010.
The São Paulo-Santos logistics corridor is
traversed by two highways and two railway routes, which connect the port city
Santos with the plateau. Capacity bottlenecks already occur today on the road and
rail infrastructure. Thus, for example, one
of the highway connections toward Santos
is closed to truck traffic due to the steep
incline. The rail infrastructure is capable of
development because there are some onetrack sections that prevent efficient flows
of goods. The future development of container and tonnage traffic will further
intensify the problems. An optimistic scenario foresees that the number of contain-
ers and general tonnage will treble in the
next 12 years. Under these conditions an
optimization of the processes within the
port and efficient provision of the port of
Santos and the hinterland is necessary.

duisport was therefore commissioned as a
central consultant and overall coordinator
of the “São Paulo-Santos Logistics Corridor
Program”. The task was to develop a central logistics and infrastructure concept for
the heavily utilized transport corridor São
Paulo-Santos. The main focus here was
the connection between the port of Santos
and the Serra do Mar plateau as well as
the processes in the port of Santos itself.
duisport coordinated numerous individual
studies and projects on behalf of the Brazilian government and evaluated the optimization potential for efficient transport
and goods flows between the port of Santos and the São Paulo metropolitan area in
the hinterland. The aim of the concept
developed was ensuring effective supply to
and from the port of Santos and the São

duisport was able to contribute its expertise in planning and building ports and terminals here as well as in developing a
logistics hub for the hinterland.
addition, the networking of the terminals
and facilities of the port is not currently
sufficient. An additional challenge for the
port of Santos is optimizing passenger and
goods transport on the roads. Reducing
high logistics costs is an additional challenge for the port in order to be able to
compete with other ports.
Supplying the mega city São Paulo, which
is at an elevation of 800 m above sea
level, and the hinterland set a great challenge for the port’s infra- and suprastructure and for the transport infrastructure of

three central solution proposals. To optimize the São Paulo-Santos logistics corridor extensive investments in the existing
infrastructure are necessary. Assuming the
expected container and tonnage traffic,
sea capacity will be increased through
state and private investments. Thus by
implementing measures such as building
and expanding the terminal, deepening
the navigation channel and increasing the
number of berths extra capacity will be
made available in the port. In order to be
able to master this rise in capacity investments will also be made in the road and
rail infrastructure. Extensive investments
by the state of São Paulo and by infrastructure operators and logistics stakeholders
are foreseen. However, these will not be
enough to remove the bottlenecks. By
extending and building, if necessary,
capacities in the road and rail infrastructure can be decisively increased. Because
development and new construction is only
possible to a highly limited extent due to
the geographical conditions it is necessary
to optimize the existing systems. This can
be made possible by using a dynamic traffic guidance system. To relieve the port of
Santos logistics activities should be relocated to the hinterland by building logistics
centers.
The Management Summary was handed
over to the President of Brazil, Dilma
Rousseff, by the Chief Executive of Duisburger Hafen AG, Erich Staake, on March
6, 2012. The handover took place on the
occasion of a reception of the Executive
Committee of the BDI Brazil Board at
CeBIT in Hanover.

THE PORT
IHK congress
Congress at the Zollverein in Essen
NRW logistics providers sound the alarm du
Around 280 participants in discussion at the IHK NRW Transport Congress in Essen.
Logistics offers great opportunities and has now become the third most important sector in Germany with enormous growth
potential. However, the pre-condition for realizing this is infrastructure that works and not only NRW is a long way from this.
This was the unanimous warning from experts from business, science, administration and politics at a recent congress of the
Association of the North Rhine Wesphalian Chamber of Trades and Industry. Unanimity that did not bring the experts a single
step closer toward answering the event’s motto: “More transport, less money? – Who will pay for tomorrow’s transport routes?”
(frön) While the economy is currently
growing despite all the inconveniences
and transport is increasing, logistics is
already breaching new limits every day
now. Growth of 60 per cent and more
until 2025 could bring about the collapse
of not just the roads, as the transport route
with the highest proportion.
For this reason developing infrastructure,
particularly in NRW, the strongest federal
state economically and thus in transport
too, is urgently required, warned Paul
Bauwens-Adenauer, President of the IHK
NRW, Düsseldorf. “Mobility is increasingly becoming a bottleneck factor although
it is the basis of prosperity, jobs and the
industrial location.” In addition to the
lack of funds, increasing resistance in
society to infrastructure measures posed
another problem. In this connection he
criticized the partly decades long planning periods as “no longer acceptable“,
because it jeopardized acceptance among
the population.
As a solution the President proposed
changing the allocation formula for public
funds, selecting efficiency and benefits
instead of a justice formula as the basis.
Analogous to the EU he proposed that a
core network is defined. “But even without a redesign of the allocation formula it
is the task of the federal states to make
things ready for construction. There is still
much to be done here in NRW too.”
Priorities have to be set
“We want merchandise and goods to
move quickly from A to B and not get
stuck in traffic jams. At the same time it is
our aim to consolidate the budget and
maintain budgetary rigor. Somehow that
does not go together. Therefore we have
to set priorities. Not everything that seems
desirable is realizable,“ said Rainer Bomba,
State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of
Transport. Accordingly Minister Ramsauer
had made it clear that maintenance had
priority over new construction and development. In addition, combining the various modes of transport was necessary.
The wishes of the federal states with costbenefit factors had been harmonized in

the ministry on the revision of the investment framework plan. The upcoming federal transport routes plan also had to meet
challenges, prioritize, and prepare corresponding cost-benefit accounts. "But one
thing is clear. Without raising expenditure
it definitely will not happen," admitted the
State Secretary. "We have to follow new
paths for this, paths that are currently
being intensively created."
He could also envisage PPP models and an
extension of road tolls. Working groups
were already busy with the latter issue.
But research and development will also be
improved. "Germany is staying transport
and transit country number 1“, said Bombas Conclusion: “We will not only maintain infrastructure, but also expand and
develop it in a targeted manner, we will
develop new financing models and we
will look for new methods in research and
development.”
Maintenance before development
NRW’s transport minister Harry K. Voigtsberger emphasized that the roads were in
different areas of responsibility. “Funding
for this purpose is very different. The leeway for action is correspondingly different
as well. Road users have very little understanding for this because they only perceive the road."
Participants in the podium discussion from left: Rainer Bomba, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of
Transport, Building and Urban Development, Ekhart Maatz, Head of the Road Infrastructure and Road
Transport Department in the Ministry of Economics, Energy, Building, Living and Transport of the federal
state of NRW, Jens Fiege, member of the board of Fiege Stiftung & Co. KG, Greven, Ocke Hamann, transport expert of the Lower Rhine IHK and Transport Spokesman for the IHKs in NRW, Andreas Scharf, director of Verkehrsinfrastrukturfinanzierungsgesellschaft mbH, Berlin.
For the federal state the priority was also
retaining the existing substance. “Important issues such as development or closing
gaps can only come afterwards.” Accordingly, at the discussion of the federal
transport routes plan the federal state had
reported that the federal state with the
highest population needed a large share of
the funds. He described the looming
reduction in overall funds in this connection as dramatic.
Jens Fiege, member of the board of Fiege
Stiftung & Co. KG, Greven, reported very
insistently what traffic loads mean for
logistics companies. He set a figure of
around two million euros a year as the
additional costs caused by the lack of an
autobahn connection at the goods transport centre in Bremen for his company
alone.
NRW IHK transport expert Ocke Hamann,
from the Lower Rhine IHK, Duisburg
(which organized the congress), made
clear how close the existing system
already was to its limits. “If we see that a
slight increase in traffic from 2009 to
2011 had the effect of raising traffic jams
by 35 per cent, it shows that the road system is operating very close to its capacity
limits. And we have the same effect on
the rails." But at the same time you had to
make a realistic estimate of the costs to
avoid the partly immense increases.
The experts are unanimous: combining modes of transport and thus the ports will be more important in
future to avoid a possible collapse.

THE PORT
ISPS facilities
Duisburg, more than just a port in the hinterland
ISPS facilities – an essential component in s
If the supply chain is considered to be a global transport chain – sea or air freight – then the word security inevitably comes up.
duisport, the largest inland port in the world, currently has 38 ISPS facilities, which can interact with up to 2,000 sea-going
ships p.a. Almost all types of freight that are intended for international transport are processed securely and efficiently in these
facilities. Of course this also includes goods carried on other modes of transport. ISPS certification of the port complex is a
condition for handling ISPS certified ships; such ships would lose their entitlement to enter overseas ports if they called at
non-ISPS code certified facilities. The first certification for a sea-going ship waiting area on the Rhine was received by
duisport at the beginning of 2008 – without statutory or any other requirements!
(mf) The most important challenge for
operators of ISPS facilities and the port is
meeting the extensive requirements of
ISPS certification while taking efficient
process design into account. duisport
holds investments in terminals that successfully implement this, such as the HTD
Heavylift Terminal, a trimodal terminal in
the Außenhafen with heavy cargo handling capacities of up to 500 t. Handling,
storage and final assembly of individual
components or packing and shipping complete plants are all part of the service portfolio.
There are also trimodal ISPS terminals on
logport. Container transports, accelerated
truck processing through an innovative
tour management system etc. are carried
out reliably, quickly and securely.
The ISPS code INTERNATIONAL SHIP
AND PORT FACILITY SECURITY CODE
consists of an extensive package of measures to prevent dangers to sea-going
ships, port facilities and ports. In this manner internationally uniform preventative
measures to increase danger prevention
on sea-going ships in international transport are installed as well as in the ports
that handle them to prevent terrorist
attacks. In 2002 the IMO (International
Maritime Organization) adopted Appendix
IX-2 (ISPS-Code) as a supplement to the
SOLAS international convention for the
SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA). The scope was
extended to land facilities in order to prevent dangers of unauthorized access to
sea-going ships and their freight coming
from the land. In 2005 EU Directive
2005/65/EC to increase danger prevention on sea-going ships, port facilities and
ports came into effect.
SAFETY went on land and became

ISPS facility operators have to make considerable investments in security to satisfy

ecuring the supply chain
plan certified on the basis of a risk analysis. Depending on the number of sea-going
ships processed extensive measures to
attain and maintain this status have to be
implemented (both structural and also
monitoring and access control measures).
In every case the certification of the port
facility requires a trained Port Facility
Security Officer (PFSO), who implements
and supports security regulations and
serves as an interface between sea-going
ships, ISPS facilities and government
authorities, including six duisport employees who among others support tenants in
certification. The security of the port, its
employees and the goods entrusted to it
have the highest priority.
The security standards set, such as changing the infrastructure and staff utilization,
are intended to guarantee the protection
and monitoring of sea-going ships and the
interfaces affected (terminals, sea-going
ships, other ships). Port facilities, previously freely accessible to practically everyone,
have to be hermetically sealed.
The implementation of security measures
has fortunately led to a decline in property
theft and increased protection of goods –
to the benefit of all logistics stakeholders.
Elaborate control measures are no longer
necessary in every step of the supply
chain. Effort is restricted to measures that
maintain security status i.e. lower friction

government authorities under some circumstances – are necessary in cases of suspicion (manipulation, broken seals etc.)
the flow of goods is not held up unnecessarily.
A transport chain can only be as secure
as its weakest link!
Because the structure of transport chains
in international trade is a complex network of logistics stakeholders, port facility
operators, especially those of ISPS facilities
(as well as duisport as a logistics turntable
in Europe) make a number of demands.
They keep handling and storage as secure
as necessary using as little effort as possible. Here too duisport expertly makes an
outstanding contribution to the security
and efficiency of the supply chain and
strengthens the NRW location in international competition.

An interview with Heiko Rumfeld, Member of the Management Board of duisport agency GmbH, the transport logistics subsidiary of the duisport Group.
Mr Rumfeld, last year the duisport Group
was at the Logitrans trade fair (December
8 to 10) in Istanbul for the first time.
What caused you to do this?
Turkey is a growth market of the future,
the door to the Middle East and Asia so to
speak. As one of the largest logistics turntables in Central Europe, the Port of Duisburg simply has to be present there and
position itself in Turkey. Therefore we

It arrives at the DIT Container Terminal in
the port. The operator of the train link is
Inter Ferry Boats (IFB), a subsidiary of
SNCB Logistics and thus Belgian Railways,
which uses the brand IFB East.
So how did the train start off and how
has it gone from there?
What was the response like?
Very good! Our new, public rail connection between the Port of Duisburg and
Halkali near Istanbul was a central issue of
the discussions on the stand above all.
So what are you offering there that’s new?
Heiko Rumfeld shows the way.
Alongside an existing rail connection via
Ljubljana to Halkali that has already existed for a long time, since 2011 there has
been a direct connection between the Port
of Duisburg to Halkali via Sopron in Hun-
The train is very well utilized. Primarily
continental and less maritime loads are
transported, especially everyday consumer
goods and electronic products. So we
want to develop and intensify the connection. Above all we want to raise the frequency and offer more departures per day.
Why does the train go to Duisburg of all
places?
Because the journey is not yet over in

come by train from Turkey currently continue toward the western ports. In Duisburg we offer a connection to an international logistics network, so to speak.
What makes you so confident?
In the face of the dynamic economic
development on the Bosporus there is
enormous potential for growth in intermodal transport. Many Turkish forwarders
that visited us on the stand want to send a
large part of their loads by rail in future.
The talk is of over 20 per cent.
tics branch sales are rather low measured
against the potential of the sector. About
400,000 people work in the sector and
with over 40,000 vehicles the Turkish
truck fleet is the largest in the whole of
Europe. As before, the most important
engines of the Turkish economy are the
textiles and automotive industries.

The new cooperation between Messe
München and the Turkish trade fair
organizer Eko Fair has already paid off. In
comparison with the previous year the
number of exhibitors almost doubled to
207. More international exhibitors came
in particular, their proportion increasing
to over 50 per cent. Companies from 24
(13 in the previous year) countries presented themselves in two halls on the
Expo trade fair site in Istanbul over three
days (from December 8 to 10, 2011).
Nearly 12,000 visitors or 2300 more
than in the previous year were counted.
Around a fifth of them came from
abroad. Most exhibitors came from Turkey, Italy, Germany, Latvia and Austria.
The next Logitrans is taking place in
Istanbul from November 15 to 17, 2012.

For this you have to know that Turkey is
traditionally a truck market. Up to now
Turkey traffic has rolled on the roads
almost exclusively, either directly or via
Italian ports such as Triest – with the well
known consequences for the environment
and traffic. With the new train connection
we will offer a reliable and highly frequent
alternative to truck and feeder traffic in
future. This alone is already an innovation
in Turkey traffic. There too changing to
environmentally friendly modes of transport is an ever stronger sales argument.
Does the train also help to attract new
investors from Turkey to Duisburg?
That’s what we assume. The direct connection to Turkey will make the Duisburg
location and the Ruhr region even more
interesting to investors.
How many companies have already located in the port?
Up to now in Gökbora and Mates there
are two Turkish forwarders in the Port of
Duisburg. Mates is already a customer of
the new train. We are still in discussions
with Gökbora.
What was your personal impression of
Turkey?
Unfortunately I wasn't able to see much of
Istanbul. But I was very impressed. You
feel how lively and active life is there. Up
to now I have only had such a feeling on a
visit to China. But that was 20 years ago.
Mr Rumfeld, thank for your time.

DIALOGistik Duisburg started operations in the Freihafen in April 2012. The concept of this dialogue center was developed from
three projects of the EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr, the largest European logistics research project as part of the German
government’s high tech strategy. duisport is a practical partner in the projects “Scientific further education in logistics”, “Organizational innovations with good governance in logistics networks”, “Integrated corporate social responsibility management in
logistics networks” and supports the implementation of DIALOGistik Duisburg in harmony with the wishes of customer on site.
(wen) DIALOGistik is a central contact
point in the port intended to intensify
existing cooperation in the port, make
new contacts and strengthen the qualifications of personnel. The focus here is on
the transfer between science and business,
e.g. by networking companies with
research institutions. On the one hand
DIALOGistik provides committed students
with business practice and on the other,
companies’ needs for innovation are discussed with research partners. The perception of logistics as a career will be intensified in cooperation with Duisburg
companies and regional schools, public
authorities and organizations. In addition
to developing a “Duisburg Port Community”, using synergy effects will be at the
center of activities. For example, a survey
was carried out by the University Duis-
burg-Essen on the qualification needs at
the Port of Duisburg. One result is the
pilot implementation of a further education program for “multi-modal logistics”
specialists for commercial and trade
employees. Additional training needs will
be realized after consultation with companies in cooperation with existing education institutions.

In addition to planned working groups
(including personnel in logistics), increasingly value oriented corporate responsibility and efficiently shaping logistic processes
make up a further focal point of DIALOGistik. Small and medium sized enterprises
in particular will be given help to act sustainably here, e.g. through sustainability
checks, guidelines for analyzing stakeholder groups and training measures.

Simulation of the current characteristics of the newly developed pushing units
The research and development project RUHRCARGO has been put together to develop an efficient and cost effective system to
transport containers with inland waterway ships between the ports of Duisburg and Dortmund. The partners here are the DST Entwicklungszentrum für Schiffstechnik und Transportsysteme e.V. as the project leader, Duisburger Hafen AG, Dortmunder
Hafen AG, the shipping line H&S Container Line GmbH and Meidericher Schiffswerft as the shipyard. The project was selected
as part of the Logistik.NRW innovation competition in 2009 with a runtime until 2012. The most important results can already be
presented shortly before the conclusion of the project.
(gues) A barge train was developed to
transport the containers, which optimally
uses the inland waterway possibilities
between Duisburg and Dortmund. The
tug barges are relatively small and box
shaped and their construction is as simple
as possible. More barges can be coupled to
form a barge train with a maximum length
of 185 m. This results in a large transport
capacity of up to 160 TEU when stacking
two layers. The train is moved by two specially designed tugboats, one each at the
rear and the head of the barge train. The
barge train can maneuver perfectly in this
configuration and the helmsman in the
front tugboat has a field of vision that is
not impaired by containers.
Apart from the technical development
organizational aspects will also decisively
improve the efficiency of the system. In
contrast to motorboats the tugboat does
not have to wait in the port while the
barges are loaded or unloaded but posi-
tions the barges for unloading and can
directly collect those that have already
been dispatched. The barge train can also
split in the Duisburg area so that each tugboat can head for the different terminals
with some of the barges. What is impor-

land
tant here is smooth integration into the
working processes of the container terminal. In the opinion of terminal operators
what is decisive here is that the barges
made available can be dealt with in order
without the tight deadlines that are typical
for dealing with rail goods transport, for
example. Here too a schedule with regular
timing is considered to be necessary.
The aim of the scheduling is to offer two
complete round trips a week. For this purpose a round trip will take place on set
weekdays within 48 hours. The tugboats
will then be underway almost 24/7, but
with changing crews. In contrast to large
tugboats, on which there is complete
accommodation on board, the crew at
RUHRCARGO will leave the boat when
shifts change and go home again. This
should not be difficult to organize with the
relatively short distances within the Ruhr
region.
With the system outlined here a small
fleet of two tugboats and a corresponding
number of barges will be in a position to
transport approximately 10,000 containers
a year between the Duisburg and Dortmund terminal. If the handling facilities
there allow, it will also connect ports on
the canal route. Approximately 50 boxes
Test-drive of the pushing unit in a simulator
per trip will be carried and distributed at
this transport output so that with the right
stowing empty containers and high-cube
containers will be able to pass beneath the
partly low canal bridges. It is also conceivable to offer container transport between
the numerous Duisburg terminals.
What will be decisive for the feasibility of
RUHRCARGO is the costs situation of
course. The costs of container transport
currently calculated with RUHRCARGO
are somewhat lower than the comparable
costs of trucks or trains. Here around 25
per cent of the costs are incurred by the
actual transport by ship, plus the advance
carriage by truck and the handling costs.
Additional benefits of RUHRCARGO are
the considerable relief of the existing
transport infrastructure and the verifiable
reduction of emissions, particularly CO2.
This concept has technically and organizationally proved the advantages inland
waterways are in a position to provide. As
soon as market demand emerges sustainable cost savings and traffic relief can be
realized.

Organic growth success story continues
UnionStahl has been successful in logport I

“We’re bringing steel back to Rheinhausen,” a newspaper once wrote about UnionStahl. Ten years ago the company formed at
the logport I location. At exactly the same place where the steelworks had ended production nine years earlier in 1993. And
back then it promised what the team around the management board has honored. What’s more they have created about 200 new
jobs in the past ten years. And the success story is continuing.
(frön) Oliver Hillekamp, one of three
directors, is aware of the location’s tradition. A Krupp rolling mill was once located in exactly the same place where the
company halls stand today. “Former rolling mill workers turn up here all the time
and ask if they can come in and take a
quick look around,” reports the board
member. A request that the 48 year old
very rarely turns down.
What the visitors then see amazes many
of them. Today UnionStahl is an established steel plate warehouser with wide
ranging prefabrication and processing for
special plate applications. Now in eight
halls on a site of around 75,000 m² the
experts store and process plates with
thicknesses from three to 450 mm. Over
40,000 tonnes of steel are available at the
Duisburg location to be prefabricated precisely in accordance with the requirements of the company’s customers and
then subsequently delivered.

for ten years and has created
UnionStahl mainly supplies the plates and
the ready-to-install parts to purchasers
from industrial customers ranging from
plant and apparatus constructors, to
mechanical engineers, up to crane and
pipeline construction businesses. They
partly come from the region but a not
inconsiderable part of production goes
abroad both within and outside Europe.
This includes countries in Asia, South
America and Africa. “This is related to the
fact that we have an exceptionally, large
warehouse with almost all specialties in
the area of plate steel available,” says
Hillekamp, revealing one of the secrets of
the success of the Rheinhauseners. “But
the main business as warehousers will
classically always be in Germany.”
Using the advantages of the location
A business in which logistics plays a central role: “logport is an attractive location.
We have a railroad connection and most
deliveries are made on the tracks. Also the
Rhine isn’t far away. In addition the majority of our clientele are in the Rhine-Ruhr
region,” explains the director further.
“From our central warehouse and prefabrication operation right here in Rheinhausen and also in Koprivnice we are in a
position to offer a multi-facetted program
of construction steel and boiler plate goods
as well as consumable and highly durable
goods in a complete range with short
routes throughout Europe,” summarizes
Hillekamp. “And with extensive stock levels UnionStahl is one of the few full range
providers in the plate steel sector, with
close connections to all European steel
plate manufacturers.”
tenth birthday it is intended to begin production in Halls 9 and 10. “We think it’s
really charming to hand these halls over to
use too in the 10th year,” smiles the director. “This wasn’t planned intentionally, it
just happened. But we think it’s really nice
anyway.”
When the founders were looking for a
suitable location they found a lunar landscape in Rheinhausen that was still almost
deserted. An area with perspectives, however. Alongside the track connection
already mentioned the necessary areas for
possible future expansion were also available here. And these were urgently
required – as quickly became clear.
Because the original three hall bays have

Continual staff qualification and further
education
Around 200 people now work on the
Europaallee, all new jobs as Hillekamp
reports with justifiable pride. “We weren’t
a relocation but a new start up. These jobs
didn’t exist before.” As many as 500 people work for the group worldwide. These
include a second service center, strategically positioned for the East European market
where three countries meet in Koprivnice
near Ostrava and also various sales locations and representatives in most European countries and other important countries outside Europe.
Part of the secret of their success is also
that from the beginning UnionStahl has
continually trained young talents in commercial and technical disciplines every
year and takes these trainees on where
possible. This is the only way to secure the
quality we and our customers expect long
term, which is a further secret of UnionStahl’s success. Accordingly the continual
qualification and further education of staff
also plays an important role.

prefer to rely on healthy growth with our
customers on the basis of trust - this offers
the best opportunities long term.” And
finally - an additional success factor – the
employees of the port company have also
accompanied the company’s growth in
partnership for over ten years, which was
extremely important according to Hillekamp. “All our contact partners have
always kept their promises and agreements. You can’t expect any more.”
And continual investments are made in
infrastructure too. New machines have
been added again and again to expand the
spectrum of services for customers in
accordance with technological progress.
Hillekamp places great value on this. “We
have never acquired machines to rationalize. We buy machines and recruit new
employees to carry out even more qualified work and thus not least avoiding
some market volatility.” And he adds,
“Everything standing in Rheinhausen
today has come from organic growth,
generated ourselves and not acquired. We
Always meeting world changes flexibly
The director accordingly weighs things up
with satisfaction on the occasion of the
anniversary. “It’s going well, we left the
growing pains behind us long ago and are
very well positioned. We have created a
good basis with all our staff, our customers
and friends on which we want to grow
further.” This does not mean, he assures at
once, that the 20th hall bay also has to
start operations in 2022. “But we don’t
want to restrict our vision. In our assessment the world is currently changing so
much so we don’t want to make too many
commitments. Instead we believe we
have to be flexible and adjust to new challenges. That’s what we want and we’re
prepared to do it.”
Hillekamp added that UnionStahl was a
medium-sized, owner-managed company,
which he considered to be a great advantage in the market. "Because it keeps us
flexible, because it makes our decisionmaking quicker. And because you can
meet customer wishes better due to the
fact that we can negotiate better and more
freely with both suppliers and customers.
And because we can retain a certain
degree of individuality,” listed the director.
Even if he and his colleagues have chosen
a market that does not offer a particularly
easy environment. An environment that in
his opinion offers one of the most technically interesting and varied products with
many different groups of customers, different degrees of processing and, in the
wide range of specialization in the steel
business, definitely one of the most challenging products.

The Port of Duisburg is becoming the largest location in the worldwide branch network of Kühne + Nagel. A logistics complex
with three halls and an office building is currently being built in logport I. Construction work will be completed at the end of
July 2012.
(lm) The symbolic ground breaking ceremony was performed at the end of January
by Hans-Georg Brinkmann, Chairman of
the Board of the German Kühne + Nagel
organization, and Erich Staake, President
and Chief Executive Officer Duisburger

Hans-Georg Brinkmann: “Our customers
and not least our own network profit from
these infrastructure advantages.” In future
the logistics service provider will have
almost 185,000 square meters of hall
space in the Port of Duisburg. Kühne +
Nagel is using the new building with
22,000 square meters of space on behalf
of a globally operating large customer to
pick and store cleaning and care products
and ship them within Germany and to
Austria. In total around 50 new jobs will
be created.
The company has built up its capacities on
the logport site step by step since 2003.
Now the logistics service provider has
almost 125,000 square meters of hall
space there. In addition, there is a warehouse with floor space of 60,000 square
meters in the Kaßlerfeld part of the port
on the right bank of the Rhine. The new
warehouse is being built on a corner plot
on Gaterweg/Antwerpener Strasse, which

Almost a little hidden away, the “cubus kunsthalle” on the outside of the Kant-Park in Duisburg city centre.
The Lehmbruck Museum, set in the green Kant-Park in the city centre, is a household name in the arts scene. Just a few minutes away towards the main station there is another exhibition location – almost in the shadow of the famous museum building –
that does not need to shy away from comparison with the well-known attraction: the cubus kunsthalle. And here too works primarily by Duisburg artists are shown, as the current exhibition “Goldstück” by Andrea Bender proves.
(frön) Large format works greet visitors.
The mostly bright colors have been
applied to the canvas using a variety of
techniques: watercolors, drawings, painting. “The colors sometimes flow, sometimes impasto, then glazed, and then so
thick again that it creates a relief. Andrea
Bender thus directs the observer’s view to
the essential. Like a film director who lets
his characters act on the screen,” says art
historian Dr. Claudia Schaefer, Head of the
cubus kunsthalle and its friends association, demanding a closer look. And then it
becomes clear that the motives are not
clearly tangible, that other truths are hidden behind the seeming idylls with small
children and cute toy animals, which ini-
tially only surprise, then confuse, sometimes even unsettle.
Drawn deeply into the current exhibition
in this way, the visitor can easily even lose
sight of the rooms. These also explain a
multi-faceted history. They emerged in the
50s as the first new public library built in
the young Federal Republic. When the
public library moved to Düsseldorfer
Strasse the Lower Rhine museum initially
moved to Friedrich-Wilhelm-Strasse 64.
The team wanted to show citizens special
finds from the Lower Rhine here. The
building served the cause of monument
preservation, preparing finds from Duisburg excavations.
The end threatened at the start of the 90s.
As part of the expansion of the WilhelmLehmbruck-Museum the council of the
City of Duisburg resolved to tear the building down. The reason was not only a
lack of funds but also the lack of a concept
for use.
This is where Claudia Schaefer came in.
After a successful start in a small shop in
Moltkestrasse, until then she had run a
studio and gallery rooms in a hall formerly
owned by the company Gebrüder
Scholten in Duisburg-Duissern. Why not

uxury but a necessity
works to Duisburgers? And to bring citizens to modern art in this way?
A friends association helps with
financing
However, in contrast to the convincing
artistic concept the finance plan presented
problems. “Although culture is sustainable
it does not cover costs,” says Claudia
Schaefer, summing up the dilemma. A survey brought the solution: parts of the
rooms could be let to a restaurant and for
other uses, thus laying the foundations for
artistic use.
But how to raise the considerable funds
needed for the renovation now required?
Here too an idea unusual for the times
helped. Initially Claudia Schaefer founded
a GmbH & Co KG (limited liability company). Contributions from the 50 current
limited partners and numerous sponsorship payments made by Duisburg companies helped to finance the extensive conversion. “And this way, which was not
always easy, showed itself to be the right
way. After a six month conversion phase
the building could be brought to the public and culture again in 1995,” explains
the Head.
Since then the model has changed once.

so to speak. One highpoint for the little
ones is the interactive exhibitions for children in summer. “Even today teachers,
parents and also former children come to
us again and again to report what a lasting
impression their visit to us has left.”
In addition, the cubus kunsthalle looks to
cooperate with institutions and independent event organizers. Thus it was possible to initiate a range of concerts
under the slogan cubus culture

High and low water on the Rhine
From the land to a partly accessible river
There are more and more media reports about the precarious situation of inland waterways in periods of high or low water. But
what do we actually mean by these terms, how do these conditions come about and what effects are inland waterways confronted with?
(sv) According to DIN 4049 high and low
water conditions occur in a surface body
of water when the water level reaches a
certain threshold and exceeds or falls
below this. However, these thresholds can
vary according to the location and the
measurement approach taken. For example, in Duisburg High Water Mark I (HW
I), is only reached at a level of 9.30 m in
Ruhrort. In contrast, in Cologne Mark II
(HW II) is already exceeded from 8.30 m.
Differing from high water there are no official thresholds for low water on the Rhine,
apart from the stretch between Bingen
and St. Goar. Thus low water is described
as a water level considerably below nor-
mal. The so-called equivalent water level
(GIW) can be considered a reference point
here. Seen from a statistical point of view
the water level only falls below this on
twenty ice free days a year.
The Rhine is mainly supplied with precipitation, melt water and the inflow of neighboring bodies of water. Low water occurs
as a result of reduced source drainage
and/or drought. For example, if no heavy
snowfalls occur in the Alps in winter, the
snow layers that supply the Rhine with
melt water drainage in summer will be
low. This results in low water conditions,
as also happens during a sustained drought
such as that in 2003. In contrast, high
water is caused by heavy precipitation,
often also in combination with snow melt
and eddies caused by ice in a river.
Changes in the water level also change
the navigability of the waterway infrastructure for ships. In the event of high
water, bridge clearance heights are lowered. In combination with the draft of a
ship this can lead to the necessity of
adjusting the number of container layers
accordingly. If the HW I mark is reached,
ship speeds have to be cut to 20 km/h. In
addition, inland waterway sailors have to
sail in the middle third of the channel as

bed
far as possible. From the HW II mark ship
navigation even has to be discontinued on
certain sections, apart from emergency
vessels.
When water levels are low channel depths
and widths are reduced. On December 1,
2011 the channel depth at Duisburg was
only 2.38 m at a level of 1.83 m. Ships
thus had to reduce their draft in order to
maintain the safety margin of water under
the hull of approximately 0.2 to 0.3 m and
avoid grounding. Loading capacity was significantly reduced as a result and the cost
effectiveness of ship transport fell. Thus in
2003, for example, 12 million tonnes of
goods fewer were transported than were
carried by inland waterway ship in 2002
as a result of low water.
As a provider of trimodal transport solutions, in the event of high or low water in
the Port of Duisburg it is possible to divert
cargo onto other modes of transport so
that orders can continually be met, thus
avoiding any delays or bottlenecks.
Parameters relevant for inland waterway transport.
Fluctuations in water levels caused by high and low water are made clear by the hydrograph levels at Duisburg-Ruhrort from 2000 until 2011. The difference
between the highest and lowest water levels ever measured is 11.46 m.

Unbelievable – but IdeenPark
duisport shows TEU-Story in the HafenMeile
all photos:ThyssenKrupp

The IdeenPark is opening its doors again from August 11 – 23, 2012. This unique world of experience, organized by ThyssenKrupp, is making a stop in Essen this year after halts in Gelsenkirchen, Hanover and Stuttgart. During this period Messe Essen
will be turned into a creative city landscape with contributions from numerous partners from research, science, education and
business. A fascinating and extraordinary voyage of discovery through the world of ideas will be waiting for visitors. Different
districts of the city invite you to spend some time, discover and try things out.
(jc) Under this year’s slogan “Unbelievable
– but IdeenPark” ThyssenKrupp is inviting
visitors to be inspired by technology and
innovation in an interactive way, to promote technical creativity and make it possible to experience important technological innovations of the future. For this
purpose children, young people and adults
will be offered the most varied range of
exhibits. This project is being implemented with the support of around 120 partners such as Microsoft, Siemens, Daimler,
Deutsche Telekom and duisport. They are
providing insights into their areas of activity and are making it possible to experience
their know-how. The interactive idea is
IdeenPark
taken further here by the extraordinary
spatial design. Exhibition halls have been
redesigned into a flowing landscape and
districts replace the otherwise usual exhibition stands. For the visitor this means
choosing between the AeroDrom, the
VerkehrsKreisel, the EnergiePark and the
HafenMeile among others. Business interests have deliberately been put in the
background here. The partners are doing
without advertising and the visitor has free
entrance to the IdeenPark for the whole
period.
Everything about containers
This event concept was implemented for
the first time in 2004 and has already met
great interest and enthusiasm among the
public. Many of the partners have been
involved since then, taking up the challenge set them to convey their highly specific know-how and making it possible to
experience this interactively and with a
great deal of motivation. The result speaks
for itself: around 400,000 visitors are also
expected to the IdeenPark in 2012.
Thus there was also no question that duisport would not show its commitment here
and give insights into the world of the
port. In the HafenMeile the visitors are
invited to go on a container’s journey and
to experience interesting facts about these
steel giants among others. But the highlight will definitely be the TEU story. In
cooperation with the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences a unique media
documentary of the work at a container
terminal has emerged. Four monitors
show an innovatively made film that will
transfix the visitor. All this is presented in
a real container specially supplied and converted for the purpose.
In addition, there will be lots of information about the issue of logistics, the effects
of climate change on deep sea shipping,
alternative drive technologies and a presentation of innovative logistics and usage
concepts. So there’s lots for the visitor to
expect.
