ChemLog - the Project for Logistics of Chemical Industry


ChemLog
 

ZCHFP SR has taken part in the project for chemical logistics ChemLog. the Project is co-financed from EU funds.

ChemLog is a European cooperation project between regional authorities, chemical industry associations and scientific institutions from Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Italy with the objective to strengthen competitiveness of the chemical industry by improving framework conditions for supply chain management in Central and Eastern Europe.

Project Partners:

  • Ministry of Economy and Labour of Saxony-Anhalt (DE) - the Leading Partner
  • Ministry of Regional Development and Transport Saxony-Anhalt (DE)
  • Institute for Structural Policy and Economic Development, Halle (DE)
  • Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PL)
  • Association of Chemical Industry of the Czech Republic (CZ)
  • Usti nad Labem Region (CZ)
  • Logistikum Competence Centre GmbH, Wels (AT)
  • Association of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry of the Slovak Republic (SK)
  • Province Novara (IT)
  • Regional Development Holding Ltd., Budapest (HU).

 

The Main objective of the project: Strengthening railway and waterway transport for chemical goods in comparison to road to improve safety and environmental protection, reduction of costs and increased speed and flexibility for chemical logistics.

The Project arises from the idea of a competence disadvantage of chemical industry of Central Europe in comparison with the western one, which has the possibility to use cheaper and more safety transport by water ways, mainly in the Rhine. What is more, some of the Central European countries have not direct connection to the sea. As to the basic chemical raw materials there is still significant dependence on the deliveries by pipelines from Russia.

With respect to the fact that the road net is highly overloaded there is necessary to look for a more effective and more safety means of transport. One of the solutions should be the substitution of the road transport of liquefied gases (ethylene, propylene) by pipelines. the project corresponds to the transport policy of the European Union summarized in the respective White Paper of the European Commission. the main aim is a more ecological, more effective and more safety ways of transport. the main principles of ChemLog also corresponds to the aims of the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic embraced in the Programme of the support of combined transport, adopted by the Government as the Proposal of measurements for the support of the development of intermodal transport in the Slovak Republic. the Project will be in accordance with the Conception of water transport in the Slovak Republic.

Within ZCHFP SR the Project is co-ordinated by Mr. Jaroslav Čermák, the head of the Work group for logistics. Representatives of Slovak chemical companies, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Economy, Universities, and other institutions are the members of the ChemLog team.
