Dry Ports / Logistic Platforms: essential tools for developing combined transport & transcontinental rail freight Bangkok, 18 March 2014 UNESCAP Dr. Miklós Kopp, Director Freight at UIC
Global trade is growing and fuels the need for transportation: global logistics has to fit with local logistics Globalisation fuels economic growth Transportation / Logistics enable globalisation Economic growth requires even stronger growth of transportation
Rail can be used to support the transportation required by globalisation: combined transport is part of the logistics solution Segments Commodities Share of volume Competitive environment Full Train Coal, Steel Construction materials ~ 35 % Traditionally barge Competition Focus of intra-modal rail competition Price decline Single Wagon Load Chemicals Focus of road competition Paper and pulp ~ 50 % Complex production process, high barriers to entry Intermodal Finished goods Strong road competition Containerized goods ~ 15 % Subsidized in several geographies

OVERALL TRENDS Increasing container carriers size: 16000 TEU today Congestion restrains storage and marshalling possibilities Limited inland connections capacity by all modes Delays appear in the supply chains Customer demand according to road Punctuality For many customers punctuality is more important than the actual transit time Reliability Continuous compliance of guaranteed capacities Frequency Increasing reliability by frequently departures 2011 HHLA Intermodal GmbH Flexibility Density Price- Performance Security Information source Ability to respond to varying volumes Dense hinterland network Competitiveness to direct road transport Avoiding damages or theft Seamless bi-directional IT-process of booking, order processing, billing as well as tracking and tracing

TIGER PROJECT The concept is to create an inland dry port linked to the maritime port by efficient shuttle trains The Rail link carries long trains created either in one port or resulting from the bundling of two trains coming from two ports The dry port is a freight village including an intermodal terminal, a marshalling yard or a hub, a conventional terminal and a logitics area. From this dry port trains depart serving the hinterland Demonstrator at Munich Riem for Hamburg and at Rivalta Scrivia for Genova are in progress

Luxembourg: General context in terms of multimodal development Central location Important international transit Attractive frame for creating logistical activities Important neighbor markets Intersection of major rail and road corridors Few industries, Few local volumes Opportunity to stop flows Limited capacity for developing organic huge rail volume Need for Luxembourg specific solutions Need to create value for money solutions answering to the main pains of rail QUALITY FLEXIBILITY CUSTOMER SERVICE COSTS EFFICIENCY Source: CFLMM, GRFC 2012
When East meets West: Global flows need regional distribution For rail to be fully competitive with other transport modes like deep-sea shipping in Asian European transports it is vital to have regional distribution networks at hand. Global supply-chains do not end/begin in a major European hub. There is need for distribution/collection of cargo at the door of our European costumers. This means that a reliable network is needed to feed and de-feed the big international rail hubs. 15
To exploit the huge market potential, Eurasian rail services need to be improved significantly along key levers 16
