Investing for Growth in Forestry Deployment of new DL class locomotives into EBOP trains Proposed longer trains 55 wagons Kawerau-Mt Maunganui 45 wagons Murupara Kawerau Wagon coupler upgrade New 3 bunk log wagons Increased wagon payloads Increased number of trains Terminal and Infrastructure developments New high tensile steel log bolsters Infrastructure Improvements in eastern Bay of Plenty 15,000 new sleepers 25km track de-stressed 2km new rail signalling upgrades level crossing upgrades (4) bridge upgrades 6
Metroport Offering Current capacity: 2,000T DL Locomotive 6MP trains / day 1260 round trip TEU per day 31 IM plus 6 UK/UKV (105 TEU) Per Train 8820 TEU per week round trip AKL- TGA AKL Total maximum capacity is determined by combination of: Train Weight Train Length Train Density Wagon Consist Other factors: Container Terminal capacity Rail terminal infrastructure Port terminal infrastructure Line haul assets (Wagons / Locomotives / Drivers) To move to a MP 9 service would be circa 3-6 months with existing rail infrastructure Capacity Scenario s Current Track Note, assumes 7 days. Likely will need an 8-10 hour BOL once per week for track maintenance 7
AKL TGA Infrastructure Improvements Significant investment continues to be made on the East Coast Main Trunk to facilitate future growth Key element to increasing train density through both creating new and extending existing crossing loops; New Crossing loop Lengths: Ruakura 900 (COMPLETED 2011 ) Eureka 900 (Completed August 2012) NEW Motomaho 900 (COMPLETED 2011) Morrinsville 779 Kereone 856 Tamihana 900 (Commissioning November 2012) NEW Hemopo 863 Whatakao 870 Apata 900 (December 2012) current 474m Te Puna 917 Current length = 779m (1DL+40IM = 120 TEU max) From early 2013 all major infrastructure constraints for growth on the ECMT will have been removed Increased Capacity and Train Configuration Note, assumes 7 days. Likely will need an 8-10 hour BOL once per week for track maintenance 8
Headwinds and Opportunities Larger HPV trucks and growing road capable network Eastern Tauranga SH2 corridor Norske Skog PM2 closure early 2013 Increasing pressure from urbanisation of rail corridor Growing log volume Increased demand for hub Port in NZ Improving rail productivity Investment in rail infrastructure and rolling stock Investment in rail infrastructure from our partners to cater for growth Summary We see Rail in the Bay of Plenty as a success story for KiwiRail Our strategic partnership with our key customers in the region provide both the platform and confidence for future growth We are investing heavily in our business and network to cater for this growth From new investment we will increase overall capability, reliability and on time performance We thank you for your continued support 9
