Logistics is more sustainable than it appears at first glance

Under the motto “Design Sustainably”, speakers and participants exchanged digital experiences, among other things, on sustainability in the logistics sector. And one thing became clear there: the logistics want! A historic age for sustainability - this is how Dr. Sigrid Nikutta, Board Member for Freight Transport at Deutsche Bahn AG, explains the situation of today's logistics. The players in the logistics sector use this potential. There are many efforts and tangible measures for a responsible handling of economy, the environment and people, especially in this economic area. This was made clear by the experts at the German Logistics Congress, which took place for the first time in a purely digital form.

103/5000 The Mukran Port significantly expanded its transport links on the New Silk Road in October.

In addition to a direct container train between Mukran and Rotterdam, weekly short sea transports to Scandinavia (Karlshamn, Sweden) and Lithuania (Klaipeda) are now supplementing the timetable of the Baltic Sea port. Mukran is also adding the ElbePort Wittenberge to its network of German hinterland hubs. Another ship now ensures four departures in each direction on the Mukran-Baltijsk route. The new traffic connections serve the European pre- and post-carriage of containers on the "Baltic Sea Bridge" - a traffic corridor between Mukran and Xian in central China, which has meanwhile established itself as an integral part of the New Silk Road. The Mukran Port can thus further strengthen its hub function in international freight traffic with China.

New waterways and shipping office for the Baltic Sea started!

As part of the WSV and official reform, the twelfth, newly structured Waterways and Shipping Office will start.

You are now responsible for over 2,000 km of coastline, around 160 km of inland waterways, over 300 fixed navigation signs, including 27 lighthouses, two traffic control centers and 15 ships. What a huge task, but one that you will surely master excellently with your expertise. "

Shore power should become cheaper for ocean-going vessels

This is clear from the draft bill to amend the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG 2021), which limits the EEG levy for electricity to 20 percent. This is to apply to ocean-going vessels that use the electricity for their own operation. According to the ZDS, the background to this is that even during berthing times in ports, ships sometimes require considerable amounts of electricity, which they usually generate themselves with the help of their ship's own auxiliary diesels or generators using fossil fuels. The exhaust gases produced in the process would contribute significantly to the impairment of air quality in port cities. An alternative shore power supply for ships makes it possible to switch off the ship's own generators while in port, but is considerably more expensive than the electricity generated by the ships themselves.

Logistics in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern – more than transportation from one place to another

More than 250 billion € were generated by a workforce of almost 3.0 million people within the logistics industry in Germany during the year of 2015. This makes the sector the third strongest branch after the automotive production and domestic trade [Fraunhofer SCS / Top 100 der Logistik 2016-2017], even though this part of industry is not individually mentioned within the National Accounts. Logistics nowadays go far beyond the pure transport services and warehousing by a continual improvement of the foci and objectives. Logistics includes the integral planning, control and realisation of all information and goods flows of a company. As a result it is a substantial element to achieve economic success. [Helmut Baumgarten / Logistik-Management – Strategien - Konzepte - Praxisbeispiele].

The success of logistics is primarily defined by the ability to provide

the right product
in the right condition
at the right time
in the right place
the right amount
to the right costs and
with the right information.

There is no need to say that it is also important to consider the right packaging as No. 8.

Alike for the federal republic logistics industry with its different disciplines is very important for the business location of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV), serving as a logistics junction of the Baltic Sea Region and the Tans-European Transport Network. The transportation and logistics sector counts more than 40,000 employees in the year of 2014. This corresponds to a share of 7.4 % of the total employment in MV and is dominated by

professions in the field of transportation and delivery (41 %)
professions in the field of warehousing and transfer (40 %) as well as
professions in the field of administration and commercials (19 %) [Fraunhofer SCS / Logistikbeschäftigung in Deutschland – Vermessung, Bedeutung und Struktur].

The range of capabilities and innovative capacity of the logistics service providers and logistics-related companies, measured by the status quo as well as the latest developments, has not tapped its full potential. With this tool providing information on logistics in MV you have got the chance to convince yourself of the regional expertise and to benefit from it.
