ChemLog - the Project for Logistics of Chemical Industry
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)

- 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.

Project Chemlog T&T
Association of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry of the Slovak Republic (ACFI SR) joined the project ChemLog T&T, which is part of the Operational Programme Central Europe. We began to work on the project on 01.07.2012 and are expected to finish on 31.12.2014.
The project follows on the good experience and results of project ChemLog, which was subsequently extended by 6 months.
The project will also address the search for a safer and more environmentally friendly mode of transport for the chemical industry. Priority will be given to transport in the direction east to west and back, using a special technology for monitoring dangerous goods according to the ADR (The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). In addition to the original partners from Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy and Hungary, Slovenia and representatives of seaports in Italy also joined the project.
Thus the project covers all modes of transport and our aim is to contribute to the unification of systems for identification and monitoring of shipments - Tracking and Tracing. In the future the systems will use the navigation system Galileo, GSM data transmission networks and identify vehicles and shipments by RFID systems.
The project will involve not only member businesses of ACFI SR but also road, rail and river carriers as well as operators of combined transport. Together we will work to build lines of continental combined transport through Slovakia using our position in Central Europe.
