  1. Tallinn-Warsaw Freight Corridor: Railway, Road and Sea Transport Comparison Prof. Olli-Pekka Hilmola Lappeenranta University of Technology, Kouvola Unit Prikaatintie 9, FIN-45100 Kouvola, Finland E-mail: olli-pekka.hilmola@lut.fi

  2. Current Situation with Infra and Environmental Payments: Tallinn-Warsaw

  3. Freight using road transport: • Without any additional vignette or toll cost in Finland, Estonia and Latvia • In Lithuania vignette system costs 20 € per day (if purchased one day), 6 € per day (if purchased one month), and approx. 5 € (annual) • In Poland new viaTOLL system charges approx. 0.04-0.1 € per km driven (3rd of July onwards) • Additional costs of 5-6 € + 0.05 €/km × 320 km = 21-22 € per semi-trailer truck

  4. Freight using sea transport (Gdynia): • Low Sulphur Surcharge/MARPOL (2007, convention, 73/78): 10-20 € per semi-trailer • Polish new viaTOLL system: 0.05 €/km × 374 km = 18.7 € per semi-trailer • Additional costs: 28.7-38.7 € per semi-trailer

  5. Freight using railway transport (960 Gross Ton Freight Train): • Finland: 2.1 € per km (~15 %, if 100 % then 14 € per km) • Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: 6.5 € per km (100 %) • Poland: 3.5 € per km (~90 %) • Additional costs of 859 km × 6.5 € /km + 367 km × 3.5 €/km= 6868 € for the whole train (corresponds to 230 € per semi-trailer, if whole train is having 100 % fillrate, 30 semi-trailers) Source (access fees): Thompson, Loius S. (2008). Railway Access Charges in the EU: Current Status and Developments Since 2004. OECD / International Trasport Forum.

  6. Near Future of Infra and Environmental Payments: Tallinn-Warsaw

  7. Freight using road transport: • Maybe Latvia and Estonia start to use similar system with Lithuania (Vignette): additional costs 5-6 € per semi-trailer × 2 = 10-12 € per semi-trailer • Road is eligble to pay from CO2 emissions (25-45 € per ton): 60-120 € • Total costs of the future: • 91-154 € per semi-trailer

  8. Freight using sea transport (Gdynia): • Low Sulphur Surcharge/MARPOL, 2015 (convention, 73/78): 100-150 € per semi-trailer • Polish new viaTOLL system: 0.05 €/km × 374 km = 18.7 € per semi-trailer • Additional costs: 118.7-168.7 € per semi-trailer

  10. Ratio of 960 Gross ton Freight Train and 590 Gross Ton Intercity Passenger Train in Access Charges Source (access fees): Thompson, Loius S. (2008). Railway Access Charges in the EU: Current Status and Developments Since 2004. OECD / International Trasport Forum.

  11. Freight using railway transport (960 Gross Ton Freight Train): • Finland: ~15 % (2.1 € per km) is covered with access fees, then 100 % results to 14 € per train km • Sweden: ~5 % (0.3 € per km) with 100 % it is 6 € per km • New total costs (with Swedish prices, lower): 7356 € (245 € per semi-trailer) • Railways also cause CO2 emissions (20 % with electricity as compared to trucks): 18-30 € per semi-trailer • Total costs of the future: 260-280 € per semi-trailer • What if real price of access fee is 10 € per km?

  12. Stevedoring Strike in Finland (4.March-22.March.2010) Is this our future after MARPOL sulphur surcharge implementation during year 2015? ...and will we act in retrospect to the forthcoming major changes?  How we could lower access fee for freight in railway network and simultaneously improve current ”old alignment” readiness and state to serve freight flows?

  13. Russian Dimension:Trans-Siberian Railway Pricing Change (...and collapse of Finnish volume) Source (access fees): Tsuji, Hisako (2007). International Container Transport on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 2005-2006: The End of Finland Transit and Expectations Regarding Japanese Use. Erina Report, Vol. 73, May, pp. 20-30.

  14. Japan Experienced Similar Shoot-and-Collapse Two Decades Earlier (at TSR, reasons the same)

  15. ...if Additional Transportation CostsIncrease, We Need to Incorporate Rail Baltica in These Four Themes
