Tetraplan thinks in chains Sea carriage will be crucial in the transport picture of the future, says Senior Consultant, Michael Henriques.
There is congestion on the highways, so sea carriage will have wind in their sales and become crucial to the transport of goods in the future – not only internationally, but also nationally between the Danish harbours. This is Senior Consultant, Michael Henriques’ evaluation who, in his job at Tetraplan A/S in Copenhagen, is participating in finding new models for goods transportation. “Our strength is that we can present whole solutions to the client. We think in transport chains and include the entire connection according to the door-to-door principle. We can find the optimal solutions as to how we best can transport goods to the quayside and onboard – and later from a new quayside and onwards to the client. We don’t get involved in how this is handled on the ships. When the container is hanging from the crane and is on its way onboard, others take over,” points out Michael Henriques. Tetraplan is a good at transport centres and terminals, at consulting about whether one should choose road or rail transport and about the organisation of sea carriage and the collaboration between sea and land transport. Tetraplan also has a close cooperation with the University of Southern Denmark, which has a great deal of competences around environmentally-correct sustainability in relation to transport. A good example of this is when Esbjerg Harbour and the harbour in the Belgian city Zeebrügge were recently allocated approx. DKK 40 M from the EU Commission’s Motorways of the Sea Project (MOS), which will invest partly in the last length of highway to Esbjerg Harbour and partly Tetraplan is also involved in a project that will provide a new ferry route to Hanstholm Harbour, just as analyses of terminals and other infrastructures in the hinterland have been prepared.
- Søtransport bliver afgørende i fremtidens transportbillede, siger chefrådgiver Michael Henriques. Der er trængsel på landevejene, så søtransporten får vind i sejlene og bliver afgørende for fremtidens godstransport – ikke kun internationalt, men også nationalt mellem de danske havne. Det vurderer chefrådgiver Michael Henriques, der i sit job hos Tetraplan A/S i København er med til at finde nye modeller til godstransport. - Vores styrke er, at vi kan præsentere kunden for hele løsninger. Vi tænker i transportkæder og har hele sammenhængen med efter dør til dør-princippet. Vi kan finde de optimale løsninger på, hvordan man bedst bringer gods til kajkanten og om bord – og senere fra en ny kajkant videre ud til kunden. Hvordan det håndteres på skibene, blander vi os ikke i. Når først containeren hænger i kranen og er på vej om bord, tager andre over, påpeger Michael Henriques. Tetraplan er god på transportcentre og terminaler, til rådgivning om man skal vælge landevejs- eller jernbanetransport og om søtransportens organisation og samspillet mellem sø- og landtransport. Tetraplan har desuden et nært samarbejde med Syddansk Universitet (SDU), som kan en hel masse omkring miljørigtig bæredygtighed i forholdet til transport. Et godt eksempel herpå er, at Esbjerg Havn og havnen i den belgiske by Zeebrügge for nylig fik tildelt ca. 40 mio. danske kroner fra EU-Kommissionens Motorways of the Sea-projekt (MOS), der Tetraplan er desuden involveret i et projekt, der skal skaffe en ny færgerute til Hanstholm Havn, ligesom man har udarbejdet analyser af terminaler og anden infrastruktur i baglandet.
