  1. Integrating the Transsiberian Mainlineinto the European and global transport systems Gennady Bessonov Coordinating Council on Transsiberian Transportation Secretary General Global Rail Freight Conference New Delhi March22-23, 2007

  2. International transportation of cargo: an overview • Globalization of industries • International, interregional and intercontinental trade growth • Harder competition for the new markets • Faster movement of capital • Growing need of maximum reliable “door-to-door” delivery of cargo in shortest time and for minimum costs • Search for optimal delivery routes

  3. Cargo transportation via the International transport corridors going through Russia • Russia: three Pan-European transport corridors (#1, #2, and #9) • Main transit directions: - West-East (Transsiberian mainline) - North-South (the Caspian sea – the Persian Gulf – South/South-East Asia) Percentage of cargo volumes transported via the International transport corridors in 2006 • Transsiberian mainline: 55% • Russian section of Corridor #9: 31% • Russian section of Corridor #2: 8% • Russian section of Corridor “North-South”: 6%

  4. 20 778 K tons 21 326 K tons 8 493 K tons 12 383 K tons Volumes of container cargo transportation – an overview Container cargo transportation volumes on Russian railway network

  5. 424 K TEU 393 K TEU 208 K TEU 176 K TEU 40 K TEU Volumes of container cargo transportation – an overview Growth of trade volumes between Asia-Pacific and European countries: 25-30% per year Volumes of multi-tonnage containers transportation in international traffic via the Transsiberian mainline

  6. Transsiberian transportation: the potential Length of the Transsiberian Mainline: 9892 km Transit potential of the Transsiberian Mainline 300,000 TEUper year + The Baikal-Amur Mainline = 1,000,000 TEUper year

  7. TSR vs. deep-sea transportation: Short transit time 16 days 47 days

  8. Transsiberian transportation: the advantages • Short transit time • Powerful railway infrastructure • Regular transportation • Advanced IT infrastructure

  9. The Coordinating Council on Transsiberian Transportation: the consolidation of efforts 137members 25countries 16railway administrations 8shipping companies 15ports 5associations of freight forwarders 60freight forwarding companies 6regional & municipal administrations

  10. Transsiberian service: steps to integration • Establishing through intermodal services • Creating an international integrated operator with an extended agent network • Cutting down transaction expenses and time losses • Costs optimization of all components of the through service • Ensuring balanced development of all components of the transport chain • Creating common legal and informational space

  11. JSC “Russian Railways”: ensuring the Transsiberian transportation • The fundamental link for all TSR transit cargo carriers • Ensuring the powerful infrastructure of the Transsiberian route • Constantly working on improving the conditions for cargo transportation

  12. JSC “Russian Railways” and Indian Railways: the cooperation • August/October 2006: visits of Indian experts to Moscow for getting acquainted with the activities and technologies of the JSC “Russian Railways” • March 2006: the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Ministry of Railways of India and the JSC “Russian Railways” • North-South International transport corridor: 15 406 multi-tonnage containers (TEU) transported by railway in 2006 between Russia and India

  13. North-South International transport corridor development • Transport connection between Middle East, Asia and Europe • An alternative to the Suez Canal, reducing time and cost of delivery • North-South International transport corridor and Pan-European transport corridor #2: creation of an effective multimodal transport system connecting Europe, Persian Gulf countries, and India

  14. Opportunities of cooperation within the UIC • New perspectives of adapting to the integration processes in Europe • Participation in the development of the common European market of transport services • More opportunities for Russian transport services companies on the European market

  15. CCTT and N.E.W. Corridor • Active cooperation between the CCTT and the N.E.W. Corridor AS • N.E.W. Corridor AS to become a Member of the Coordinating Council on Transsiberian Transportation in 2007
