LHOFT - Liverpool - Humber Optimisation of Freight Transport

LHOFT项目-利物浦-亨伯货运优化独特地汇集了主要货主的综合实力（联合利华）M62走廊两端的两个主要港口运营商（亨伯港和默西河皮尔港的ABP）与铁路行业的专家联合收割机一起，为船体大学物流研究所领导的一项研究提供投入，这是一种最终旅程模式，促进贸易从南北长途公路路线转向该国东部和西部的港口。这些货运行程可以通过使用铁路进一步优化，并有可能大幅减少英国道路系统的货运里程数。该大学将开发的技术将使多个货主能够通过北方港口集中运输量，以降低新的海上和铁路服务的风险，从而消除阻止更多货物使用北方港口的风险障碍。所针对的流量包括前往非洲大陆的轮渡服务以及货物始发地或目的地位于M62走廊的所有集装箱服务。

The LHOFT Project - Liverpool - Humber Optimisation of Freight Transport uniquely brings together the combined strength of a major cargo owner (Unilever) the two key port operators at each end of the M62 corridor (ABP on the Humber and Peel Ports on the Mersey) to combine with experts from the rail industry to input into a study lead by the University of Hull's Logisitics Institute to develop an end-to-end journey model that promotes the diversion of trade from long distance North-South road routes to ports on the East and West of the country. These freight journey's could be further optimised by the use of rail and offers the potential for a huge reduction in the number of freight miles on the UK road system. Technology to be developed by the University will enable multiple cargo owners to pool volumes to de-risk new sea and rail services through northern ports so removing risk barrier that prevents more cargo using northern ports today. Flows to be targetted include ferry services to the continent and all container services where the origin or destination of the cargo is on the M62 corridor.
