„Barriers / Difficulties“ in organising railway transports between Central Europe and Turkey



Different standards and understandings of service requirements by the railways:

Technical standards

Quality and availability of wagon equipment

Services requirements

Transparency (Tracking & Tracing)

Competition & Pricing

Forwarders resp. Rail Logistics Providers

Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link!

„Barriers / Difficulties“

RailwayStation


Railports in South-East-Europe


Short term requirements for a successful development of railway transports to and from Turkey

Competitive prices especially for Block Trains

Availability of suitable wagons – as required

Higher flexibility for pricing South/North

Reliable and transparent transit times

Tracking & Tracing

Rail/road terminals (Rail Ports)

Example of a working train concept to TurkeyBalcan Train 1997 - 2009

Reasons for the success of the Balcan Train:

Competitive Block Train freight tariffs for forwarders

Forwarders undertake large Block Train commitments

…. and utilisation risks

Utilisation of forwarder`s rail/road terminals for transhipment

300 rail sales specialists sell rail services „Door to Door“

„One Stop Shopping“ for Industry & Trade


Visions

The pressure on road traffic will continue to increase

Non-stop Block Train concepts without interruption of the transport at borders …. between multifunctional Rail Ports

„Classic Railways“ have to take on new roles

Private train operators become increasingly important

Increasing importance of multimodal concepts & solutions

What do we need in order to realise these visions:

Railways ready to work constructively on new concepts across national borders

Otherwise: there will be no alternative to private rail operators A complete new multifunctional and multimodal terminal infrastructure at the transport interfaces

Specialised „Rail Logistics Providers“ with a pan-European network – as partner of the railways

Requirements for the Future


The megatrends within the automotive logistics sector – A challenge for the railways

Strong competition between Short sea, Truck and Rail

Competitive pricing, based on market prices Flexibility to follow the marked

“Just in time” and “Just in sequence” production also over 3.000 kilometres distance

Quality as a matter of course Reliable train shuttles Punctuality before speed

Continuous trend to Mega-Trailer or Jumbo-Swapbodies

Specialised infrastructure in the terminals Special wagons with higher costs

Megatrends as a challengefor the railways

Needed guidelines to capture the market

Automotive RailQuelle: SAR GmbH Deutschland / Herr Baerbock, 02/2010


To achieve this, certain specific prerequisites must be fulfilled

1. Development of “Intermodal stations / Rail ports / Rail villages” To be competitive to a direct truck transport a short pre- / on-carriage is a must Multi functional intermodal terminals, including

Rail crane for all types of equipment (also Mega-Swap bodies, Megatrailers and so on)

Capacity for a temporary storage / parking of swap-bodies, trailers, etc. Customs office Security Expandability

2. Reliable resources Infrastructure (tracks, shunting yards) Locomotives (quality and quantity) Wagons Staff

3. Communication and information Permanent information flow (7 days / week – 24 hours / day) Interfaces to connect the different data systems Standardised tracking and tracings tools

Intermodal (Swap bodies and trailers) – a growing trend within the railways

Flexibility (switch between rail and road) Same equipment on road and rail– Capital commitment – Labour costs– Special wagon necessary – Wagon is not multifunctional

Capital commitment Labour costs Multifunctional wagon (Containers, Swap bodies)– Less flexibility (special equipment needed)– Not same equipment on road and rail Capital commitment Labour costs Multifunctional wagon (Containers, Swap bodies, trailers ) Flexibility (switch between rail and road) Same equipment on road and rail– Less payload – Wagon costs
