| description |
IWT is more energy efficient that modes
like road or rail. The bigger capacity of IWT units means
that the sector is able to ship more tons per kilometer per
unit of fuel than what is possible with other modes. This
benefits the climate and makes the sector relatively
cost-efficient. Even so, few countries fully exploit the
potential benefits of IWT and in many countries the share of
road transport is increasing at the cost of IWT. There are
various possible reasons for this trend. Among the main
reasons given by shippers to avoid IWT are advantages of
road transport such as speed of delivery and flexibility,
limitations imposed by IWT infrastructure (water levels,
bridge clearances, port access) and underdeveloped
intermodal facilities (transshipment from IWT to truck for
pre- and end-haulage). For shippers these arguments are more
important than the potential reduction of transport costs
and CO2 emissions. Chapter two compares the global
energy-efficiency of IWT with that of other transport modes.
It also discusses the reasons for differences between modes
and the implications of each for CO2 emissions. Chapter
three deal with the varying energy-performance of IWT
vessels in various regions in the world. Chapter four
explores several energy efficiency benchmarking methods. The
conclusions of part A are presented in chapter five. |
