Overview Case Documents

Introduction

On 19 July 2021 we launched our market study into freight logistics. Our draft report was published for consultation on 17 February 2022 and we released our final report on 27 July 2022.

Findings

Our findings in respect of the potential competition issues were:

Lack of space in the port limits new entrants, constrains growth and introduces potential inefficiencies in operations;
Warehousing capacity at the port is a specific constraint, in particular in the context of temperature-controlled business; and
Competition in freight logistics is also affected by wider policy matters, for example road accessibility and vehicle restrictions, which reduce the scope for handling freight outside the port. Further, the Condor Operating Agreement makes it difficult to set up new Roll-on, Roll-off freight services (RoRo).

Our findings in respect of market resilience were:

Jersey is heavily dependent on one Roll-on, Roll-off operator/ one large freight logistics provider/ trade with UK. This could be a potential market resilience risk;
Lift-on, Lift-off traffic in Jersey remains high relative to other locations and, for some good, offers an alternative to RoRo; and
Proximity to France creates an opportunity to diversify and increase supply resilience.

Our findings with respect to the market are described below:

There is scope to improve efficiency within the current port constraints, through a better understanding of how freight logistics is operating in Jersey;
A greater focus on the environment and carbon emissions offers both challenges and opportunities for freight logistics.

Based on the findings, we made the following recommendations:

Recommendation 1

Ports of Jersey to review the use of facilities and leasing arrangements at the port of St Helier.

Recommendation 2

Government/ DVS to review traffic/accessibility issues on Jersey to create temporary and targeted 'freight corridors'.

Recommendation 3

Ports of Jersey to support initiatives to drive improvements in operational efficiency within current costraints at the Port of St Helier.

Recommendation 4

The freight industry should establish a Freight Trade Association, to drive efficiency and support innovation in the sector.

Recommendation 5

Government should develop a policy framework to support effective competition in the freight logistics sector, including a Ports Policy.

Recommendation 6

The Ports of Jersey should ensure the Ports Masterplan will support effective competition in freight logistics sector.

Recommendation 7

Government to support the development of existing and new freight routes to France.
