NAPA Studies: Enhancing North Adriatic Ports Multimodal Connections

1. Development of North Adriatic ports multimodal connectionsand their efficient integration into the Core NetworkProject: NAPA STUDIESTrans-European Transport NetworkMr. Tvrtko TomljenovićMunich – May 6th 2015

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION • Coordinator:Port of Rijeka Authority (supported by Venice Port Authority) • Priority :“Development of North Adriatic ports multimodal connections” • Goal:studies and designs preparing major investments for the development of theNorth Adriatic ports hinterland connections (specifically railway and inland waterways) and port-sea access,specified in 4 main technical activities: • Railway links • Maritime access • Inland waterways connections • ICT • Duration: 1 July 2013. – 31 December 2015. • Budget:5.630.000 € /TEN-T Co-financing (50% study): 2.815.000 € Institute of Traffic and Transport – Ljubljana

3. ACTIVITY 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION Coordinator: Rijeka Port Authority • Includes: • Preliminary meetings for the development of the proposal 2) Fulfillment of the administrative tasks 3) Coordination of the consortium 4) Proper financial flow allocation 5) Timely and effective Communication within the consortium as well as between the consortium and theEC and INEA The specific milestones for the Activity 1. are focused on the organizational andreporting process: SAP, ASR and Final Report; Kick-off meeting organization; Set up of Steering Committee, Working Groups and Stakeholder Group

4. ACTIVITY 2: Port of Rijeka • preparation of Main designdocumentation • issuing ofConstructionpermit • Main design documentation will include three phases of construction provided by Preliminary design: • Phase 1.a – Construction of AGCT Intermodal Yard • Phase 1.b – Reconstruction of Railway Station Rijeka-Brajdica: • Phase 1.b.1. –Reconstruction of railway station Rijeka-Brajdica rail tracks; • Phase 1.b.2. – Execution of contact grid inreconstructed railway station Rijeka-Brajdica; • Phase 1.b.3. – Installation of signal-safety and telecommunication devices). • Phase 2. – Construction a new pullout tunnel Railway Container terminaland Railway StationRijekaone project which will be performed in two phases for which it is necessary to produce designdocumentation and obtain permits: Phase 1 – reconstruction of cargo section of Rijeka railway station, Phase2 – construction of railway section of new Zagreb Pier container terminal.

6. ACTIVITY 2.: UPGRADING AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS OF PORT-RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE Coordinator: Port of Koper Venice Port Authority: Upgrading of the infrastructure of the port railway system in order to: - avoid bottlenecks; - stimulate development and operating efficiency

7. ACTIVITY 4: FOSTERING INLAND WATERWAYS CONNECTIONSCoordinator: Venice Port Authority Venice Port Authority • Preparation ofstudy (operational model) for the Design of the hinterland connections of theoffshoreterminal with the comprehensive seaports/inland ports of Chioggia, Porto Levante, and thecore inland port of Mantua • identification of the operational model of the nautical transfer systemof containers to and from the Venice offshore platform.

8. ACTIVITY 5:ICT ACTIONS TO IMPROVE INTEROPERABILITY AND CORRIDOR INTEGRATIONCoordinator: Venice Port Authority Preliminary analysis and definition of technical and functional specifications, design and deployment of interoperable solutions enabling an efficient information exchange between the port of Venice and Trieste and the inland terminal and logistics operator involved in the multimodal and rail freight Corridors crossing the North Adriatic Region. • Venice Port Authority Design and development a software prototype application for the management of the rail freight processes and shunting in order improve rail interoperability in the port of Venice;

10. Basis for implementing key port development projects activities on differentlocations / interactionwithother EU projects3(coordinantingActivity 2 andActivity 3)

11. ACTIVITY 2: PORT-RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE 2) upgrading of industrial sidings in the port of Koper. 1) additional railway tracks within theport area in Koper: Project design for a railway solution on Pier I / cnt Project design for a railway solution at the backyard of Basin III / Ro-Ro Studies to be performed: Feasibility study for elimination ofbottlenecks at the railway sidings in the port.

12. ACTIVITY 3: PORT MARITIME ACCESSES • Basin I: Studying the navigability regime Assessment in basin I (for container vessels) containers tankers • Basin II: Studying and designing the arrangement of new berthing capacities in basin II (fordifferent cargo specialized vessels / oil, general cargo, livestock, dry bulk etc.) multipurpose use live-stock

14. ACTIVITY 1 RAIL LAYOUT IN PORT Trieste is a Core Port in the Trans European Transport Network. NAPA Studies output – a new port rail layout where 750m-long trains can operate – is essential to prepare Trieste port to comply with the functional and structural rules for the establishment and organisation of railcorridorsgiven by EU Regulation No. 913/2010 - concerning a Competitive European Rail Freight Network – starting in 2015.

15. ACTIVITY 1 RAIL LAYOUT IN PORT Preliminary analysis is concluded. All feasible solutions for the yard re-qualification have been internally discussed and assessed with regard to operators indications. In fact solutions have to be shared and agreed upon, as they concern and involve infrastructure managers and operators. All actors agree that this NAPA Studies action can increase railway capacity, railway services and CO2 emission reduction.

16. ACTIVITY2 ICT SOLUTION Thanks to the Port Community System –PCS, SINFOMAR – Trieste Port Authority isable to guarantee a complete automation of the processes inside the port. NAPA Studies goal is to further develop the PCS for rail freight operations management in the port area, enabling a standardized information exchangeamong the central systems of the Customs, Maritime administrations, port operators, taking into account all the customs aspects related to the peculiar situation of the Free Port of Trieste.
