Many European seaports have merged over the past 20 years. What drove their decision to do so, and what obstacles were there along the way? LOGISTICS PILOT was on the case.<\/h2>\n

It does not seem to be particularly specific yet, and whether this follow-up paper to the 2015 National Port Concept will also include stronger cooperation between German seaports is currently unclear. What is clear, though, is that closer cooperation is already a reality in more and more European ports. Five examples from across Europe show how each one got off the ground and which approaches have proven successful each time. <\/p>\n

CMP: Bridge not a problem<\/h2>\n

The ports of Copenhagen (Denmark) and Malm\u00f6 (Sweden) kicked things off in 2001. Copenhagen Malm\u00f6 Port (CMP) was founded exactly one year after the opening of the \u00d8resund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden. \u201cEveryone saw the bridge as a great opportunity,\u201d reported Ulrika Prytz Rugfelt, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer at CMP.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_7″ show_border=”off” admin_label=”Werbung Startseite \/ Artikel” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_9″ show_border=”off” admin_label=”Werbung Artikel” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CMP_flaggor-@-Copenhagen-Malmoe-Port_800.jpg” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”300px||300px||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Zeile” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]However, no one knew at the time how short sea shipping, the flow of goods and the ports in Copenhagen and Malm\u00f6 would fare once the new bridge was built. Therefore, instead of competing, the two cities decided to join forces to face this new, unknown market together. This was much more than simple cooperation between the two ports, as CMP was created to consolidate all the port activities from two cities in two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were hardly any doubts at all,\u201d explained the CMP board member. \u201cThis was because many saw the merger as both a good example of cross-border cooperation and an opportunity for the ports to adapt to a new market.\u201d The company was nevertheless granted a three-year trial period, but the business was already in full swing after only 18 months. \u201cThe biggest advantage is that the ports operate efficiently,\u201d emphasised Ms Prytz Rugfelt.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/OVI5322_netti_c-Port-of-HaminaKotka-Ltd_800_2.jpg” title_text=”_OVI5322_netti_c-Port-of-HaminaKotka-Ltd_800_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Port of Hamina-Kotka: extreme resistance, then shared happiness<\/h2>\n

In contrast, achieving the 2011 merger of Finland\u2019s Hamina and Kotka ports was a longer process. \u201cTalks about cooperation between the two ports had been going on for 40 years, but one or the other was always against it \u2013 sometimes Kotka, sometimes Hamina again,\u201d reported CEO Kimmo Naski. <\/p>\n

How come? Both ports are only about 20 kilometres apart and had the same profile \u2013 containers, RoRo, general cargo and liquid and dry bulk. Moreover, they were both owned by local authorities and were also important for local politics \u2013 among other things because of their impact on employment. Investment was hotly competitive and, since it was feared that both locations would cease to develop, they merged.<\/p>\n

The mood only changed during the financial crisis of 2008\/2009, when both ports lost about a third of their respective total traffic. \u201cThe local elections were happening at the same time and many of the elected politicians were in favour of cooperation, including a port merger,\u201d Naski recalled. <\/p>\n

Customers welcomed the merger from the get-go, and capital expenditure has steadily decreased over the past years. There are also many operational synergies. \u201cTraffic is handled where it\u2019s best for the customers. All eight sections of the port now have their own profile,\u201d reported the CEO.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Logistics Pilot” url=”mailto:marketing@bremenports.de?subject=Logistics%20Pilot%20Printausgabe%20bestellen” image=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Logistics-Pilot-1-2023-EN.jpg” icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#002e5b” header_font_size=”21px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.4em” animation=”off” link_option_url=”mailto:marketing@bremenports.de?subject=Logistics%20Pilot%20Printausgabe%20bestellen” link_option_url_new_window=”on” custom_css_blurb_image=”width:100px;||transform: rotate(-10deg);” custom_css_blurb_title=”padding-top:15px;||margin-bottom:-5px;” box_shadow_style_image=”preset1″ box_shadow_color_image=”rgba(0,46,91,0.3)” global_module=”50941″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

North Sea Port: Dutch-Flemish port alliance aims high<\/h2>\n

Already connected by a canal, the Dutch Zeeland Seaports (Vlissingen and Terneuzen) and the Port of Ghent in Flanders, Belgium, only merged to form the North Sea Port in early 2018.<\/p>\n

Last April, the 60-kilometre-long North Sea Port and the Port of Gothenburg signed an agreement on closer cooperation, focussing on building a network of medium-sized European ports and working on energy management within them. In working together, the ports also aim to strengthen their commercial interests and promote cargo flows between them.<\/p>\n

Port of Antwerp-Bruges: aspiring to become a global port of the future<\/h2>\n

here had been repeated speculation about a possible cooperation between the Belgian ports of Antwerp and Bruges. After years of discussions and negotiations, the cities agreed to merge their two ports, under the name Port of Antwerp-Bruges, in February 2021. Their goal is to strengthen both ports\u2019 position in the global supply chain and achieve sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

Advantageous is that both complement each other considerably. Antwerp\u2019s strength, for example, lies in transporting and storing containers, general cargo and chemical products, while Zeebrugge is a major port for RoRo traffic, container handling and the transshipment of liquefied natural gas. <\/p>\n

This creates a number of synergies. \u201cContainers that could not be handled in Antwerp were diverted to Zeebrugge, where capacity was available,\u201d reported Lennart Verstappen, Corporate Communication Advisor at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. In terms of liquid bulk, Zeebrugge handled a great deal of LNG, while the handling of chemicals in Antwerp was slightly down. \u201cAt total turnover level,\u201d he continued, \u201cthe decline in containers is compensated by the good results in other sectors.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Most read” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”25px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_blurb_title=”display: inline-block!important;||background: #002754!important;||padding: 5px 13px 3px 13px!important;||position: relative!important;” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#002754″ global_colors_info=”{}” header_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” header_text_color__hover=”rgba(255,255,255,0.71)” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||0px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” border_color_right=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CSP-Zeebrugge-Terminal_2020_c-Port-of-Antwerp-Bruges_800.jpg” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”200px||300px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” bottom_divider_style=”arrow2″ bottom_divider_color=”#DFE6EE” bottom_divider_height=”120px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Haropa Port: Seine axis logistics corridor for goods from across the world<\/h2>\n

A national port strategy was the deciding factor in France. In June 2021, the three French ports on the Seine axis, Le Havre, Rouen and Paris, merged into a single public institution, having already founded Haropa, an economic interest grouping, in 2012.<\/p>\n

The aim was, among other things, to change the size dimension, become more resilient to economic changes and external influences, regain market share throughout the river corridor and unify governance. It also aimed to provide Paris with a maritime outlet and promote the energy transition through sustainable transport to the hinterland.<\/p>\n

Even though the three ports had not been in competition with each other before and each had their specialities, strengths and weaknesses (containers for Le Havre, grain and agro-industry for Rouen, inland waterway transport of building materials and city deliveries for Paris), many fears that were more historical-cultural than economic nonetheless existed. None of the sites wanted to lose their respective specificities, their own identity and organisation. This situation was solved by introducing a new corporate governance that involved all stakeholders.
