  7. Marco Polo call 2009- Maritime projects results

  8. Marco Polo difficulties with Maritime projects • Increasing trends of competition complaints from companies against each other  effect of the crisis? • Formal complaints about 20% of on-going projects since 10 months !  MP becomes the indirect battle field between maritime competitors ! (most of the time not justified and duly proved  enormous burden for EACI!) • General complains via pro associations. Complaints need to come from concerned operational companies.

  9. Marco Polo difficulties with Maritime projects (2) • Low modal shift achievements vs contract objectives (poor operational results …even before crisis!!) For MP I only 41% of objectives achieved  > 60% contractual under spending and loss of programme funds. • Low Perennity of maritime projects after Marco Polo grant has terminated…(viability = award condition!) • More and more difficult to find maritime links not yet exploited to avoid competition issues ! • National MoS priorities (routes)  most of the identified axis already operated by existing lines and companies  Risk for impossibility to allocate Marco Polo funds in the future.

  10. State of play of the Ro-Ro Past France project • Start of service: 26/09/2007 for 51 months • Modal shift planned: 8,4 billion tkm • Modal shift achieved after 27 months: 680 Mtkm (8,1%) • Difficulties to reach financial break-even. • Very important financial losses but: • Company is courageous and continue towards its targets • Started with 2 vessels and 3 roundtrips per week • Instead of reducing the number of voyages and ships available they increase as foreseen the frequencies. A 3rd ship has been added in 2009  5 roundtrips per week. • EACI will extend their contract to reach the maximum of 60 months .
