  2. Contents • Present state: • Introduction • Infrastructure • Operators • Present data • Opportunities and challenges • Conclusion

  3. IntroductionGeographical position • crossroad of the pan-European Transport Corridors V and X • good inland and maritime connections to all destinations

  4. Introduction Infrastructure • AGTC network in Slovenia • Terminals: • Koper, • Ljubljana, • Maribor, • Celje

  5. InfrastructurePort of Koper • Basic data: • total area 4,743,000 m2 • total quay length 2,636 m • number of piers 3 • number of berths 24 • maximum sea depth 18 m • length of railway tracks28,000 m • closed warehouses 230,000 m2 • covered warehouses 66,000 m2 • open storage areas 820,000 m2 • shore tanks 49,000 m3 • silo-storage capacity 81,000 t

  6. Infrastructure Ljubljana terminal • Basic data: • total area 99,250 m2 • open storage area 21,500 m2 • park places for trucks 15,000 m2 • additional park place 10,000 m2 • railway tracks 4 x 500 m • Equipment • frigo container connectors 40 • gantry crane capacity 400 kN • reach stackers 2 x 400 kN • fork lift trucks

  7. Operators • operates all logistics and transport services within maritime transport, • offers maritime links all over the world, • transhipment in 2003 11,036,457 t http://www.luka-kp.si/ • operates railway services in Slovenia, • operates railway terminals, • offers CT services, • in 2003 goods transported 17,239,000 t, of which 15 % by CT (2,568,000 t) http://www.slo-zeleznice.si/ • leading company in the field of intermodal transport in Slovenia, • organises all forms of intermodal transport services in co-operation with domestic and international IT companies http://www.adriakombi.si/

  8. Present data Goods transport by different modes Source: 2003 Statistical yearbook and Slovenian railways Annual report [1]share of combined transport performed by rails [2]percentage of total goods transport

  9. Present data Combined transport of goods performed by rails Source:Slovenian railways Annual report 2003

  10. Opportunities and challenges • the share of intermodal transport compared to road is rather low, • whole national road network is crowded by heavy trucks Opportunity • Implementation of special wide plan based on international co-operation for switching goods to intermodal transport Challenge • how to do that without harming anyone, • how to do it to satisfy everyone involved in transport chain, • to do that as quick and efficient as possible

  11. Conclusion Problems • gap between the wish of switching goods from roads to intermodal transport and reality • insufficient measures implemented • resistance within road transport organisations Possible solutions • definition of goods that should be transported by different modes • achievement of general agreement of switching to intermodal transport • new measures for promoting intermodal transport

  12. Conclusion WRONG Switching trucks to rails and ships RIGHT Switching goods to intermodal transport units
