‘without co-operation and understanding
amongst stakeholders it is not possible
to implement long term solutions to
urban logistics problems’
European Commission (2013) A call to action on urban
logistics, EC working document SWD(2013) 524 Final
Multi-stakeholder platforms
(MSPs) for city logistics
4 main drivers:
1)Enhancement of understanding: the stakeholders will express their
needs, priorities and views to the local authorities.
2) Knowledge increase: fill in the knowledge gaps of the local authorities
on urban issues.
3)Best practices exchange
4)Efficiency: a mean of levering in new resources and making better use of
existing ones.

Hence a Consensus Building Tool!
Consensus building through a web-
based platform
To facilitate the interaction and consensus building among the
various stakeholders of Urban Freight Transport (UFT) in:
• identifying key influencing factors of their UFT environment
• assessing the current and exploring the future state of their UFT
• identifying the main factors that influence certain UFT city characteristics
But more importantly, to serve as an ongoing participatory platform
on UFT issues.

Multi/syncromodal Transport
• Thessaloniki-Balkans & central Europe via rail/road
• Gothenburg-Hamburg, Bratislava load control centre,
Trieste to three TEN-T corridors (Scandinavian-
Mediterranean, Mediterranean, Baltic-Adriatic)
• Urban Bordeaux & Atlantic Corridor
• UK - Continental EU - China logistics
• Bucharest-Vienna: Inland waterway
Intelligent Hubs
• Sea ports: Hamburg, Gothenburg, Bordeaux, Trieste
• Railway hubs: Hamburg ,Trieste Northamptonshire
• Inland waterway (barge) terminals:
Bucharest Vienna
• Cities: Bordeaux, Gothenburg
• Virtual freight centres: Thessaloniki Industrial Area
Network Optimisation
• The whole logistics network, incl. ports, inland transportSource: ERTICO, AEOLIX KO meeting
(road, train, barge) in The Netherlands, Germany and
Spain
• All sites that will cover multi/ synchromodal transport
Thessaloniki LL Objectives
• To streamline the inefficient use of road and rail freight transport modes in
Northern Greece and Southeastern Europe, promoting co-modal transport
operations and increasing the share of railway transport (Case 1).
• Focus on modal shift to rail, through the improved awareness of rail capacity
and dynamic reconfiguration of block trains and trucks from Thessaloniki
towards hubs in the Balkans and Central Europe, by combining transit
containers with export demand of local producers.
• To develop a Virtual Freight Centre (VFC) in the Thessaloniki Industrial
Area, providing warehouse sharing capabilities and increasing awareness
for new logistics options, strategic opportunities, new sound business
models and effective group action (Case 2).
• Testing of collaboration methods among stakeholders in the industrial zone of
Thessaloniki, creating new business models and opportunities through new
logistics services, opportunities and the development of a local ecosystem of
LSPs.
Thessaloniki LL Expected Impact
• Traffic avoidance /congestion reduction through modal shift
• Reduced vehicle-kms
• Increased Load Factor
• Reduced CO2 emissions (due to increased load factor and improved
decision making for routing)
• Financial benefits (due to increased load factors and shared cost of
transport and warehousing)
• Increased Levels of service
• Through Stakeholder Cooperation
Thessaloniki LL Partners
• CERTH-HIT (Overall LL Coordination)
• Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) (Stakeholders
engagement in VFC and VFC concept validation)
• Greek International Business Association of Northern Greece (SEVE)
(Stakeholders engagement and integration of existing marketplace tools)
