  1. MUltimodal Ro-Ro TrANsport on the Danube River- Project MUTAND - Prof. Dr. Dejan Radojčić University of Belgrade (Dept. of Naval Architecture, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering) Second Meeting of the SECI Working Group on Danube Transport

  2. European Development Centre for Inland and Coastal Navigation Duisburg Project Partners Danube Transport Development Agency Vienna Danube Project Centre Belgrade

  3. The Problem # 1 SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES (SEEC) - Have undeveloped transport infrastructure (railway and roadway) - Have inadequate number of trucks and railway carriages which comply to EU stand. THIS CANNOT BE IMPROVED IN THE NEAR FUTURE without huge investments THIS PROBLEM WILL BECOME MORE STRIKING with political and economical integration of the SEEC into EU

  4. The Problem # 2 IN THE COUNTRIES WITH WELL DEVELOPED INFRASTRUCTURE (I, CH and A today, H and SLO tomorrow) CAPACITY BOTTLENECKS In the road and railway network in the context of transport volume expressed through: Limited trucks quotas Bans on weekend driving Additional taxes 200.000 TRUCKS . . . per year from Bulgaria and Reasons for embargoes: surrounding countries to EU Safety (five years ago) Environmental considerations . . . Obsolete data!

  5. The SolutionShifting Cargo to Inland Waterways The facts: River transportation is by far the most economical (per t·km) It is safe, reliable and economically clean Has enormous possibilities concerning multimodal tr. chains Has huge free capacities . . . Several obstacles: The density of waterway network Time requirement Transshipment charges Characteristics of transported goods . . .

  6. State of the art of the Multimodal Ro-Ro Transport on the Danube • Favorable long distances • Low developed road and railway infrastr. • Numerous border crossings OPOSITE THAN ON THE RHINE ! CONCLUSION A well conceived Ro-Ro concept becomes very attractive

  7. The Objective of the MUTAND Project • Establishment of regular Ro-Ro shipping line between SEEC and D, A, H • Ports of call (Ro-Ro Terminals) to be in Yugoslavia (amongst others)

  8. The Proposal The financial support for the execution of the Phases I and II FINANCING IS CONCEIVED TO BE DONE SUCCESIVELY, STEP-BY-STEP, AFTER ASSESSMENTS OF PRECEDING STEP MODIFICATIONS ACCORDING TO THE INTERIM RESULTS

  9. The Budget • Phase I (0.120 mil EUR) • Phase II (0.325 mil EUR) • Phase III (cca 1 mil EUR) • Phase IV (cca 100 mil EUR)

  10. Foundation of the DPC • DPC should be the national coordinator for the Danube and transport technology related projects • DPC should lobby in the Danube waterway • DPC should support the inland waterway transport • DPC should develop and implement the new technologies . . .

  11. Initiation of the COMPRIS & YURIS Projects Intelligent transport infrastructure • Dramatically enhance the safety and efficiency of the Danube navigation • Improve fairway information (electronic charts, traffic signs, water levels info, standardize communication etc.) • Guarantee seamless cross border transportation on the Danube . . .

  12. Letter of Intent between the DPC and VSL (Association of Transport and Logistics of the Northern Rhine Area) Intention to set up logistic transport chain from the ARA ports to the Black Sea aiming to build up a united continental transport and logistic network in Europe. Impact on investment projects such as: Reconstruction of Bgd/Pa Ports Building of Danube Combi Ships Reconstruction of shipyards

  13. The Pontoon Bridge in Novi Sad • Opening once per week (new equipment will increase the frequency in the near future) • Positive expectations the new bridge will be finished in two years time

  14. The term MODAL SHIFT - from roadway to waterway - means a perfect symbiosis between two transport modalitiesShip & Truck

  15. The Facts (2000)Origin and Number of tracks (with goods)

  16. Transporting Charges Belgrade - Frankfurt 1200 EUR Frankfurt - Belgrade 1650 EUR (±100 EUR) TOTAL (both ways) cca 2850 EUR (per truck) Taxes for passing through Yugoslavia: Roads 0.0039 $/t km, Formalities 25 EUR, Parking 50 EUR, Toll fee 130 EUR,Visas 25 EUR TOTAL taxes cca 320 EUR (per truck)

  17. More than 600.000 trucks crossed the YU border; out of this, 260.000 entered and 230.000 left YU with goods, (difference make empty trucks) Transit (one way, with goods) 90.000 No. of trucks entering YU from The Facts(2000)

  18. Road Permissions(FOR YU TRUCKS) Main transport route from YU to Germany and viceversa. Number of permissions for passing through: Austria - 6.000, Germany - 25.000, Hungary - 22.000, Croatia - 2.500. Desperately needed approximately 15.000 passes through Austria ! The ways how to overcome the problem: Bar-Bari, HR-SLO-I, H-SK-CZ and Road-Rail combined transport Szeged-Wels - next slide

  19. Road-Rail Combined Transport(ROLA Trains Szeged-Wels) - ROLA trains carry the entire truck and its driver. Driver has the opportunity to relax during the travel. - The train travels in accordance with the timetable, the border passing is short (no customs at the border). - Accompanied or unaccompanied traffic.

  20. Road-Rail Combined Transport(ROLA Trains Szeged-Wels) • The users of ROLA trains can travel without road permission, and can load and unload within 70 km zone from ROLA terminals. • 3000 YU trucks use this commodity per year. • Transporting charges - return ticket, cca 900 EUR (250 EUR subvention). • Present: two entrance permissions to A (on wheels). ------------------------------ An absurd - the train’s name is Danube-Elbe Express
