Motivation Bottlenecks in European deep sea ports and hinterland connections Complex logistics chains with multiple actors Information gaps along the chain New security regulations (ISPS, EU-COM 2003-0229, 2004-0076, US CSI, US C- TPAT) 4
Requirements by Customs Information on integrity of the Container and its way Information on all parties involved in the chain, integration of AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) concept Information on consignment level Minimum data requirement for Customs is Annex 30A, maximum is the complete WCO dataset Push data to Customs Risk Assessment System Data to be provided to Customs 24hrs in advance to loading (answer within 12 hours as Load or No Load) 5
Requirements by Industry Tony Webster, Director Logistics of A.S. Watson Benelux and Sander Roldanus, A.S. Watson Supply Chain Manager: For lots of companies, the logistics chain is still a black hole. Because of that, they can only respond to deviations from schedule at a late stage. And that kind of last minute work always costs money. Robin Smith, Director BAP Logistics: 20 % of containers have arrived in Felixstowe on a different vessel to the one originally planned and advised. Need to achieve a method to detect deviations and inform the transport operator as early as possible 6

INTEGRITY Corridor From: China (Shenzhen) - to: Rotterdam/Felixstowe - to: European Hinterland (Door-to-door) Monitoring of several thousand containers Demonstration started in September 2009 First monitored container arrived Europe on 16 Oct 2009 Demonstration is ongoing process until project end 10
INTEGRITY - Key points Development of Shared Intermodal Container Information System Improving the visibility of supply chains More security and predictability Industry driven research based solution Cooperation with Customs Serves both Industry and Administration/Customs 11
INTEGRITY Achievements & Next steps Achievements Shared Intermodal Container Information System (developed in stages) Vessel tracking (since April 2010) Tracked several hundred containers Tracked containers with / without CSDs Satisfied industry partner (e.g. Robin Smith BAP): At the moment, the only movements we can guarantee accuracy on are those in SICIS. For us SICIS is proving to be a lifeline Next steps Consignment tracking 12
