  17. Freight Transport in Romania

  18. Intermodal Transport at CFR MARFA - 2003 - 2.6%

  19. Intermodal Transport at CFR MARFA First semester of 2004/2003

  20. 4. INTERMODAL TRANSPORT TERMINALS IN ROMANIA

  21. Existing terminals Number of terminals CFR MARFA 24 CONSTANTA PORT 4 INTERCONTAINER-INTERFRIGO (ICF) 1 FRATTI & DAEWOO 2 TOTAL 31

  22. New terminals in short time Number of terminals VAN d. VLIST 1 ROMTRANS 2 CFR MARFA (RO-LA) 2 TOTAL 5

  23. Constanta Port – The turntable of European and Euro - Asian Transport • The biggest commercial port of the Black Sea • Total surface: > 3.000 ha • Loading and unloading capacities: > 200 mil. Tons/year • Connection with Rotterdam through: Black Sea-Danube Canal, Danube, Main-Rhine • God opportunities for intermodal transport (4 intermodal terminals)

  24. 5. INTERMODAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN ROMANIA

  25. Existing systems • Unaccompanied intermodal railway–road transport, that grants the “door to door“ transport using the two transport modalities, without affecting the freight when changing the type of transport • Accompanied intermodal transport (RO-LA), that offers the transport of road tractors accompanied by the drivers, technology that grants the elimination of congestion of traffic and less pollution of the environment • Accompanied and unaccompaniedrailway and/or road- maritime intermodal transport, by using the ferry-boat vessels from the patrimony of the national freight operator CFR MARFA

  26. Transport RO - LA at CFR MARFA Special wagons (Saadkkms) 10 axels with low platform Number of wagons: 160 Operating trains: 12 weeklyon both directions Traveling time: 20 hours Connection: Arad-Glogovăţ (Romania) –Wels (Austria)

  27. Using ferryboats of CFR MARFA (1) Connection of Romania with: Middle East Caucasian Area Central Asia Transports in ferry-boat offers a wide range of advantages for freight transportation in wagons or trucks: reduced distance, reduced traveling time, reduced numbers of borders, good accommodations for truck drivers

  28. Using ferryboats of CFR MARFA (2)

  29. 6. INTERMODAL TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES

  30. Increase Transport between Europe and Asia next 30 years Transport of oil and other natural resources from Asia to Europe Transport of manufactured products in both directions Development of Eastern Europe (Enlargement of European Union) As a result: Increase of Intermodal Transport

  31. Increase Intermodal Transport in Romania Transport of goods from Asia to Europe Transport of manufactured products in both directions Development of logistic centers in Romania: The most appropriate locations: Constanta, Bucharest, Timisoara, Oradea, Brasov, Bacau and Craiova As a result: Increase of Intermodal Transport

  32. 7. CONCLUSIONS

  33. CONCLUSIONS • An important path of transport between Europe and Asia passed through ROMANIA. • It is necessary to develop international legislation for increase intermodal transport, inclusively between EUROPE and ASIA. ROMANIA can participate at this process. • Number of intermodal transport terminals from ROMANIA have increase. • It is a big potential for intermodal transport in ROMANIA. • ROMANIA intends to develop next years, logistic center for intermodal transport that will be used for increase the intermodal transport between EUROPE and ASIA.
