Support for the greening of maritime container transport
Objectives
The Ligne Verte (Green Line) is a collaborative change management initiative aimed at optimising the post-carriage of maritime containers between the Port of Marseille and the Lyon region.
A change management approach
- Understanding and removing the obstacles to the use of alternatives to diesel road transport
A collaborative approach involving all stakeholders
- Shippers, Freight forwarders, Transport operators, Infrastructure managers, Local authorities
- Alternate work periods between players and between links
Achievements
- 2020: Understanding the context and challenges
Mapping and mobilisation of players, production and presentation of a flow study, identification of 5 challenges (knowledge of the different transport organisations and their complementarity, a volatile market controlled by the shipping lines, education to rehabilitate bulk modes, helping shippers to change). - 2021 : Structuring and creation of a collective
Mobilising and networking all the players involved, by organising collaborative business workshops and group days to share expertise, identify needs and draw up a shared diagnosis. - 2022: Deployment, experimentation and transformation
Prioritisation of the 3 workstreams :- Project 1: Facilitate collaboration by sharing data between players in the supply chain (functional specifications with a view to proposing a tool)
- Project 2: Modelling the full cost, including the carbon cost of transport
- Project 3 : Studying the feasibility of a combined transport project
- 2023: Capitalisation, assessment and outlook
Produce deliverables, promote the approach, ensure it can be reproduced and define the conditions for its sustainability
Results
Flow study
- Qualification of existing flows, identification of the determinants of modal choice and decision chains, consolidation of the range of alternative offers, +15 qualitative interviews
Installation of the collective
- More than 10 meetings (collaborative trade workshops, theme days and visits) with all the players in the industry (importers, operators, organisers, infrastructure, etc.)
Removing obstacles and promoting
- Raising awareness of the use of the noria, local partnerships being forged (training and awareness-raising for players at other players’ sites), better knowledge of the noria, etc.
Business profits
- Supply Chain players join the Logistics Intelligence Cluster and become members of the network that federates the logistics and transport ecosystem in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
- Through La Ligne Verte, the cluster is consolidating its role as a trusted third party and its expertise in facilitating and supporting change in a local industry.
Not measured to date
- New business relationships are being forged
- Between committed players, specific support for the transformation of flows is being organised and networks are being set up.
Follow-up
2022 – 2023 :
- Continuing to recruit players from the various links, scheduling meetings of the 3 workstreams once a month until April 2023, identifying objectives, deliverables and success indicators.
2023 – 20XX :
- Finalising the deliverables, closing the project and putting forward proposals to perpetuate the work on removing organisational barriers to the use of the infrastructures and services available in the area.
