1997 – 2007: intentions to sell

2007: privatisation officially announced, several tenders

2011: letter of intent signed by Romanian Government with IMF to sell 20% through Initial Public Offering (IPO) or strategic investor by end of 2011, and total privatisation when market conditions allow it

End of 2012, sale strategy was published, but cancelled again

2013: Strategy was resumed and adopted in February, announced

page 21

in April 2013 for selling shares representing 51% and starting price around 180 Million Euro

Three bids submitted: Grup Feroviar Roman, Omnitrax and consortium of Transferoviar Grup and Donau-Finanz GmbH

All bids rejected (due to incomplete documentation) and participation criteria changed by ministry

After re-launch: Omnimax was disqualified, and the consortium with Transferoviar later decided to withdraw

Railway undertakings - Privatisation of CFR Marfa (II)

Transferoviar later decided to withdraw

20 June 2013, Grup Feroviar Roman announced as new shareholder of 51% for price of 400 Million Euro (for 275 locos, 39.000 rail freight wagons, of which 10.000 not fit to operate)

Still needed the approval of the Competition Council (CC) because of having a 70% market share

The history of CFR Marfa privatisation can not be called a success-story, despite the strategy was to enchain a potential market party and protect the road sector from competition by rail.

Development of rail freight traffic - summary

quick wins could be realised by road transport which was often more flexible, open to entrepreneurship and promoted by truck and construction industry

In contrast to that the rail sector lacks coherent infrastructure investments, both in maintenance, refurbishment and new builds- which can be exploited fully only after their entire implementation -while improved roads can be used on sections, already

Conclusions on accompanied CT „RoLa“

Depending on a couple of factors, e.g.

Transport permissions for international traffic, Visa regulations

Driving bans at night, weekends, holidays, or for specific type of goods or trucks

Subvention by the state to compensate operational losses(real rail costs vs. marginal truck costs)

Hardly impossible to forecast

Accompanied intermodal transport (RoLa), only in 2005 and 2006 (Wels Arad/Oradea) until accession to EU(Wels-Arad/Oradea) until accession to EU

Generally small quantities of freight compared to both road and rail

Volatile development in recent years

Domestic services represent the backbone of intermodal transportation (~60%) with container hinterland transport from and to Constanta being by far biggest part of intermodal transport in Romania

International services (~40%) focusing on Western Europe, in

Growth of intermodal transport is directly depending on the country‘s own economic performance and not generated by transit traffic (like in Switzerland or Austria)

Infrastructure managers (IM) and railways (RU) have accepted the traditional relatively long processing times

Border crossing – challenges discussed in Round Table

traditional, relatively long processing times.

Romania (and Bulgaria) could not enter the Schengen-Area as planned so that border police and customs activities are still required on the – sometimes two – border stations

Due to the relatively long waiting times at the Curtici station (RO-> 25 hours; HU->RO 7 hours) the train parking capacity is limited

Next to the time table slots in particular somewhat „uncoordinated“ works on either side of the border have been experienced and

page 54

should be avoided in future by an improved coordination between IM

The impact of the malfunction was a block of the trains, stop of production site and consideration to close the site and remove it to Western Europe

Border crossing remains on the agenda of infrastructure managers and railway undertakings, in particular when customers needs on fast and reliable international train services are taken into account.

There are about 25 intermodal terminals, owned by CFR Marfa and operated by CFR Transauto (now Rofersped)

Intermodal terminals – “CFR Marfa”

operated by CFR Transauto (now Rofersped)

Mostly built in 1970s, when trucks were not permitted to drive over 100 km

Since then they have not been well maintained or used properly, no big investments were made

Thus terminal infrastructure is in poor condition

Modernising the majority of these facilities does not appear to be a sound investment, currently

Locations should respect the investments and capacity of present terminals and fill gaps, only.Terminal investments should be accompanied by a thorough market analysis and take into account efficient train productions systems to link with other terminals.

Evaluation CT market: Evolution of transport

The Romanian transport sector provides for various forms of logistics concepts including CT Operators for rail/road transport

Evolution of CT: Conclusions (1/3)

logistics concepts including CT-Operators for rail/road transport.

Private sector railway’s increased to gain market share of 53% in 2012, one of the highest in Europe. However, the “competition on rail” has not prevented from a total decrease of rail volumes.

After the 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 industry.

In contrast to that the rail sector lacks coherent infrastructure

Alignment of TEN-T and RFC-Corridor on rail network were achieved by the RFC-Implementation Plan in November 2013, but also highlighting lines with limited capacity.

Improvement measures are (partly) identified but require effective implementation (financing, timing, monitoring).

(Wels-Arad/Oradea) until accession to EU.

Intermodal market dominated by container traffic with a clear importance of domestic (~ 60%, Constanta hinterland) over international transport (~ 40%, focusing on Western Europe).

Growth of intermodal transport is directly depending on the country‘s own economic performance and not generated by transit traffic.

Semi-trailers became standard equipment in international road transport and thus intermodal operation, but all rail loading gauges

are too small for continental CT, mainly due to tunnel profiles.

Intermodal terminals, generally, provide for sufficient handling capacity for the currently (low) handling volumes.

Training of personal engaged with transport decisions on the merits of intermodal transport would be required.






An intermodal strategy is needed at country level to guide public and private investment The intended “dialogue” is appreciated by the


private investment. The intended dialogue is appreciated by the stakeholders but did not take place, yet.

The strategy needs to be revised taking into account the recent market development, terminals developed by the private sector, shortcomings on rail infrastructure and transparent rules for application by market parties including realistic business plan.

The strategy should investigate (re-)activating incentive scheme in favour of intermodal transport such as

Derogation from Directive 96/53/EC governing the weights and dimensions of heavy good vehicles (“44 tonnes”).

Exemption from driving bans for road vehicles, e.g. weekend ban

Vehicle tax exemption of up to 100% for vehicles used exclusively in terminal pick-up and delivery operation

Exemptions from road usage fees or tolls for vehicles in CT
