Short Description: This indicator is defined as the percentage share of each mode of transport in total inland transport expressed in tonne-kilometres (tkm). It includes transport by road, rail and inland waterways (IWW). Road transport is based on all movements of vehicles registered in the reporting country. Rail and Inland waterways transport is generally based on movements on national territory, regardless of the nationality of the vehicle or vessel, but there are some variations in definitions from country to country.

Major losses in the share of rail freight transports between 2000 and 2012.

Development of rail freight transport – summary & conclusions

� After fall of the iron curtain, and during the „accession period“ quick wins could be realised by road transport which was often more flexible, open to entrepreneurship and promoted by truck and construction industry.

� Further drop-down in rail freight transport between 2008 and 2009 due to economic crisis. In contrast to road transport no recovery of rail transport since then.

� In contrast to road transport the rail sector lacks coherent infra-structure investments, both in maintenance, refurbishment and new builds - which can be exploited fully only after their entire imple-mentation - while improved roads can be used on sections, already.

� Old and general poor state or repair of rolling stock.

� General mind-set towards road.

Development of intermodal transport – summary & conclusions

� Despite population and economic centre of Sofia, two “own” seaports and ongoing attention to rail freight transport,intermodal transport from/to/within Bulgaria is almost not existing (volume equals to 1-2 train-pairs per day);

� In recent years, main intermodal transport volumes were related to transit traffic from/to Turkey;

� Substantial loss in transit volumes with relation Turkey (since 2013);

� Volatile volumes depending on single train connections;

� No “sustainable” development, yet.

� Continuation of Pan-European, Trans-European and Rail Freight Corridor lines on Bulgarian territory;

� RFC7 implementation plan as a good starting point requiring more orientation to the users and transparent monitoring of realisation;

� Loading gauge analysis to be updated, especially with regard to not yet analysed lines : from/to Burgas/Varna and via Danube bridge Vidin/Calafat + enlargements if necessary;

� Accept (limited) weight class “C3” as stipulated in the RFC7;

� Facilitate 700m (wagon) train length in coordination with neighbouring IM and RU;

� Improve border crossing procedures in close cooperation with customs/border police, IM and RU;

� Seek to obtain cheaper network access charges for block trains until full objectives as regards length, weight, speed are met.

� Small number of private terminals in:− Sofia-Yana (temporarily closed)− Stara Zagora− Ruse (in the border freight station)

� Numerous terminals planned:Sofia, Plovdiv, Svilengrad, Dragoman, Vidin, Lom

� Seaport hinterland services, competing with relatively low road transport costs, may require a minimum distance of about 500 km to be economically viable on rail, thus only Varna-Sofia is worth for block train operations.

� Priorisation recommended with a proven market analysis, underlaying economic train production concepts and realisation in phases

Status February 2014:� Only intermodal train connections from/to Turkey:

Wien – Tekirdag/Cerkezköy (IFB), 5 round trips per weekRuhr area – Tekirdag/Cerkezköy (Rail Cargo Group), 3 round trips

� Additional road/rail services supplied in single wagon load traffic, e.g. TRANS EXPRESS rail terminal Voluyak, Sofia

page 66


� TRANS EXPRESS multimodal service− Door-to-door service shifting freight from road to rail

− Transport of paper in reels from several paper plantsin Europe to end customers in Bulgaria.

− The freight is Single Wagon Loads to run fromEurope to Voluyak terminal, where the paper reelsare unloaded and reloaded on trucks for distributionin about 200km to end customers, by trucks.

− Service is supported by the European Commissionwithin the Marco Polo programme (“TransX.com”)

� Voluyak terminal− Operated by TRANS EXPRESS

− Located in Sofia-West

− Very good connection to rail network, with a directaccess to transport corridors IV, VIII and X

− Available facilities and equipment for rail-road cross-docking operations

− Available sheltered rail siding inside storage for use for special products, sensitive to humidity (such as paper)

� Despite several attempts to establish regular block-train services with high quality to/from and via Bulgaria and the moderate success that could be achieved, with the financial crisis, the breakdown of economy and the re-routing of Turkish trade only one regular service (of IFB) is transiting Bulgaria.

� The other logistics parties, intermodal operators and railway undertakings are “on hold” offering “spot traffic” or “on demand”;

� These loads are supplied in single wagon load traffic with its challenges with respect to monitoring, punctuality and reliability which does often not meet the customer’s demand.

� Although the terminal Sofia “Yana” was built in accordance with customer’s needs, and the “chicken-and-egg” situation was solved no additional volume appeared and the terminal is temporarily closed.

Availability of CT services


A priorisation of actions involving industrial stakeholders (shippers), shipping lines to change the “wait-and-see”-attitude and create small “success stories” would be required at national level.

Analysis of current CT: Continental Services

Continental intermodal services – loading units

Source: COSMOS project website




page 69


� For continental trade lanes and corresponding logistics services a variety of loading units have been developed in order to supply loading capabilities similar to road transport.

� These are available for sale or lease from the producers or specialised leasing companies and maybe hired from forwarders for start-up of intermodal services.

� Despite a few exceptions it is expected that the forwarders or transport operators provide for the loading units at shippers premises and bring them to the intermodal terminal for transshipment onto wagon as their part of the joint commitment to intermodal transport.

Continental intermodal services – loading units


These types of loading units were said to be hardly available in Bulgaria where classical truck/trailer combinations are utilized or ISO containers are used during their “idle” time for domestics transports; The mindset towards “intermodal” transport should therefore be implemented in the education and training of staff already.

� Since several years alternative land routings via the Pan-European Corridors IV (Hungary - Romania - Bulgaria) and X (West Balkans) to and from Turkey were used for road and rail services with;

� Expectation on a considerable improvement of the transit time, punctuality and reliability were disappointing and not competitive with road-only services;

� Thus Turkish forwarders, such as EKOL or MARS, developed bypasses suing the ferry connections to Trieste and continued rail-road services to mayor Western European destinations;

� These turned to be competitive in times of transit time, quality and price and are further challenging the land routings

� In different European countries a couple of incentive schemes in favour of intermodal transport rail/road/(waterways) were experienced at different times.

� The previous table provides a snapshot of these.� In Bulgaria none of these incentives is currently available.� Bulgarian stakeholders should therefore investigate very carefully

the “new” instruments” which the Regulation EU 1316/2013 “Connecting Europe Facility” brings to them, develop appropriate proposals and apply for the respective funds (see next page).

� Due to the applicability of Cohesion funds the instrument is even more interesting for Bulgaria.

Evaluation of CT: SWOT-Analysis

SWOT Analysis

Strengths Weaknesses

� Integration into European trade lanes via corridors

� Not competitive railway network (outdated and worn railway means)

� Central position with respect to transit traffic from/to Turkey: pan-European corridors 4 (via RO) and 10 (via RS) cross Bulgaria; now replaced by two TEN-T corridors

� Low reliability of rail services due to infrastructure deficits and bordercrossing procedures (non Schengen regime); especially border crossing BG-TR is problematic

� Deep-sea access via the Port of Varna/Burgas on own territory

� Low number of industrial sites;low number of exports goods

� Trade-oriented economy with skilled workforce

� Only small increase of GDP per capita does not yet allow import of consumer goods

� Some competent international and national companies in the rail and logistics sector

� Lack of prioritisation of investments and coordination with commercial stakeholders

Source: KombiConsult/HaCon analysis, 2014

page 86

Evaluation of CT: SWOT-Analysis

SWOT Analysis

Opportunities Threats

� Geographical position with respect toimportant European development axis

� Redirection of transit flows to parallel networks due to slow development of public rail infrastructure

� Further stabilisation of Eastern Balkans and Turkey / European integration will bring increase of transport flows, incl. rail in transit

� Redirection of port handling to Western ports due to lack of efficient rail connections to/from Burgas/Varna

� Transfer of less demanding production to Asia and imports of goods via Black-Sea/Aegean/Adriatic ports

� Increase of number of bottlenecks in rail network due to slow improvement

� Growth poles of industrial sites, agglomeration, logistics facilities and access to networks

� Lack of confidence in implementing originally agreed “plans” and absorption of available EU funds

Source: KombiConsult/HaCon analysis, 2014




page 87

Conclusions

� Bulgaria is strategically located on the cross roads of European/Asian trade lanes with direct access to the black sea by own ports, Aegean sea via Thessaloniki;

� Potential cargo flows which could be modally shifted from road to intermodal rail / road services are operated by a variety of small road hauliers which show only little attempts to share their revenues with intermodal/rail operators;

� The “chicken-and-egg” situation between appropriate infrastructure and intermodal services is still existing although intermodal terminals Stara Zagora is operational, Sofia “Yana” was built and in Plovdiv building is said to start soon;

� Rail infrastructure along the Rail Freight Corridor (RFC) 7 needs to be completed at highest priority to supply harmonised operation conditions across border

Summary of Conclusions (1/2)

Source: KombiConsult/HaCon analysis, 2014; COSMOS Round Table Bulgaria 2014

page 88

Conclusions

� European funds supporting these “multimodal” corridors are generally available and need to be requested in the framework of the “Operational Programmes” (OP) Transport at national level;

� The concertation with stakeholders, such as ports, rail-road terminals, railway undertakings, and other users of the infrastructure are carried out in the framework of the “Trans-European Core Network Corridors”;

� Already at national level the transport sector stakeholders should join their forces to provide a coherent set of projects which will deliver an added value for the shippers and transport operators with respect to efficient, fast and reliable transport by intermodal rail road services;

Summary of Conclusions (2/2)
