Comparison of hub port costs per vessel call (T/C, Port Costs, Bunker) Costs per vessel St. Petersburg Lisbon Stockholm Helsinki Riga Bilbao Gdansk Oslo Aarhus Average Costs per Vessel via Hamburg ( PW 1400 ) 200 500 800 1.100 1.400 Distance in nm Average Costs per Vessel via Rotterdam ( PW 1400 )
3b. Cost Structure of Baltic Feeder Services 3. Impact on Slot Costs with Changing Bunker Prices Bunker price increase: If the average bunker price for one ton of bunker oil (380 cst) in Hamburg increases by 16 % from December 2011 to March 2012. Impact: The average slot costs for a St. Petersburg round voyage of a 1.400 TEU vessel increases by 7 %.

5. Conclusion Future Challanges Hub Port Locations More than Meets the Eye. Development of Port Costs, T/C, Bunker Future Bunker Prices, New regulation Terminal Efficiency Influenced by Multiple Aspects Productivity, Congestions, Hinterland- and Feeder-Connectivity etc. TEAM LINES Response : Focus on one Primary Hub Location (Hamburg/Bremerhaven). Deploying the largest Ships Available And Suitable for Individual Trades. Share the Benefits but also the Burdens (Cost). 18
