3 1. Key success Factors of Railway Supply Chains Introduction Railways grew traditionally in conventional business Intermodalism in Europe started not with the first Container arriving in Bremen in the late 50 s Only Eckelmann, the owner of a bulk port area in Hamburg (Eurokai), started investing in port facilities to handle containers in the early 60 s, while anybody around him was smiling: What a crazy guy! Eurokai, today Eurogate, became the largest container terminal operator in Europe Rail started 6 years later in 1967 to transport the first containers The rail share of containers compared to road was far less than 10% overall in Europe Only with the upcoming Liberalization in the central European States in the early 90 s, private activities and competition, the modal split grew in favor of rail There are 4 key factors for success in rail transport: Volume Consolidation Supply chain orientation - Competition 3

4 Content 1. Key success Factors of Railway Supply Chains 2. Volumes and Volume Balance 3. Points of Consolidation 4. Integrated Rail-Roading 5. Impact of Liberalization 6. Summary 4

5 2. Volumes and Volume Balance Rail is competitive transporting tons or >70 TEUs is competitive transporting with regular frequency (5 days a week) needs constant high utilization because of the high share of fixed costs needs outbalanced flows to cover costs and to keep frequency needs more planning activities than road creates higher supply chain complexity needs smart order management JIT should not degenerate to the stupidity to order in time! needs consolidation of volumes to create the necessary mass of transport has plenty of market opportunities (corridors) to gain business Success to gain volumes is a question of consequent management 5

6 Modal Split in Volumes and Volume Balance Dominant role of road in Spain Road got the image to be flexible and cheap Infrastructural limitations (gauge, energy, train length, incline, etc.) Road [%] Rail [%] Waterways [%] Total Source: Eurostat Spain 3,9 0 96,1 3, Germany 65,7 21,9 12, ,4 21,9 65,7 Road Rail Waterways 96,1 Huge potential for rail transport not used at all 6

7 Growth Factor Hinterland Connectivity Bremen/Hamburg port operators started in early 1990 s with private rail operations Open access to all railway companies leads to early competition with German state railway and as consequence increased service quality Drastic reduction of rail prices is one consequence Transport flows strictly concentrated on a few number of Hubs in the Hinterland Strong improvement of rail competitiveness compared to road [TEU] Volumes and Volume Balance Rotterdam Antwerpen Hamburg Hamburg achieves higher and continuous growth in container business because of its attractive hinterland connections 7

8 2. Volumes and Volume Balance Hinterland of Hamburg The development is driven by development of container traffic While container volume doubled, rail volume grew 4 times! Trains per Day Port Hamburg Italy Germany Scandinavia Eastern Europe Trains + 90 % Trains 2005 Trains 2015 Conventional Container Consequent management of rail activities grew the business 8

9 2. Volumes and Volume Balance European Intermodal Network Dominant role of volumes in North/South direction Almost no rail activities of south European ports on rail Except of the Betuwe Line all corridors use existing rail infrastructure Inland Terminals Sea Ports Madrid Source: UIR, Kombiconsult To gain rail volumes is not mainly a question of infrastructure! 9

11 3. Points of Consolidation Corridors need Consolidation Points Container hinterland transportation is the ideal example for rail corridors Corridors needs a high level entrance and exit - terminals Terminals and their surrounding markets are consolidation points along the rail corridors Sea ports with well integrated intermodal terminals Transshipment terminals for rearranging of containers Hinterland hubs and satellites for local supply Corridors are defined as the link between strong economic areas 11

12 Hinterland Terminal Types 3. Points of Consolidation Different terminal functions lead to different requirements to the terminal layouts Inland ports can also provide the move from barge to road/rail (trimodal) Sea Port Satellite Regional Hub / Hinterland Hub Transshipment Terminal Function Serving local shippers Interim storage for surrounding companies Serving local shippers Interim storage for surrounding companies Serving of the region Interim storage Sorting and distribution of containers Short term buffering Focus Move Sea/Rail & Sea/Road Move Rail/Road Move Rail/Road Move Rail/Rail Volume > TEU TEU > TEU > TEU Equipment STS-Cranes RMG Reachstacker RMG / Reachstacker RMG 12

13 3. Points of Consolidation Example of a Sea Terminal as an Entry Gate Guarantee short and flexible delivery from waterside to hinterland Guarantee fast transfer of cargo Enable high train frequency reducing connections to hinterland hubs About 500m back reach 30 m As better rail is integrated in port operations, as more attractive are rail connections compared to Road 13

14 3. Points of Consolidation Eurokombi as Entry Gate to Europe Mayor terminal in Hamburg 140 Ha area 21 STS-cranes at the berth ~3 Mio. TEU in 2008 Provides an integrated rail terminal for hinterland connection 5 Tracks 4 RMG 2 Reach stackers Modern layout, modern infrastructure meets feasible volumes Good connection to the rail net = rail share 20%! 14

15 3. Points of Consolidation Example of a Hinterland Hub Communicating modules Focus on hub function for regional volumes Provides storage area for interim storage Good access for trucks for moves from rail to road 52 m 9m 3 m 12m 7m 9m 3m 9m Module wise layout for a volume oriented development 15

16 3. Points of Consolidation Example of a Transshipment Terminal Transshipment Modul with high number of tracks for rail/rail moves Access Modul to serve from road to rail and v.v. External area for value added services can be served by reachstackers Transshipment-Module 52 m 9m 3 m 12m 7m 9m 3m 9m Can be developed step by step: local terminal hub - transshipment 16

17 3. Points of Consolidation Nuremberg as Gate Way to Eastern Europe Nuremberg is a hinterland hub with additional transshipment shares Ideal consolidation point for volumes from Hamburg/Bremerhaven to move to Austria, Italy and Eastern Europe Success factors Geographical position at the rail corridor to South and East Europe Feasible rail infrastructure in all directions Modern terminal layout with efficient processes Transparent tariff policy an discrimination free access for all rail companies Good management develops a successful terminal from a ideal starting point 17

27 Impact of Liberalization on Rail Transport 5. Impact of Liberalization New players mean alternatives for the industries (for example in cases of strikes) New alliances and structures of cooperation Increased competition leads to increased quality and productivity Horizontal competition increased even vertical competitiveness Competition reduced the costs, pricing more competitive compared to Road Establishing liberalization offers great chances for the Rail industry 27

28 Rail Liberalisation Index Impact of Liberalization In most countries external railway carriers are already licensed and involved in freight transport. The liberalisation is advanced in Great Britain, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. The market opening in Luxembourg, France, Greece and Ireland is delayed.

35 The lack of intermodal Transports in Spain is House-made Ports are not providing integrated rail terminals for intermodal handling Road market is not interested in rail Railways are not really in competition lack of private operators Industry does not care as far as road delivers Nobody is taking consequently the initiative There are great chances for rail transport in Spain! Small share of rail in transportation Reasonable volumes Long distances Huge investments in infrastructure Interest of big European players in Spanish market 6. Summary Significant increase of intermodalism is possible 35
