Freight transport by rail has been battling a strong headwind for a number of years, but finally things seemed to be turning in 2015. While CargoNet managed to turn around several years of losses, Bring/Posten succeeded in increasing the volume of freight they trans- ported by rail by no less than 13 per cent. “I would like to commend Jernbaneverket, which has sided with freight over the past two years,” says Stein Børre Johnsen. He is the head of Bring Linehaul, the Posten/Bring division that deals with long-distance freight. In his view, this small breakthrough is due to the fact that people are now thinking along more commercial lines. “If we are to get freight onto the railways, meas- ures have to be controlled by business, not by politicians. Our job is to meet needs in the flow of goods. When it comes to logistics, perfor- mance is measured in terms of costs. We have enjoyed so much success because we work with the entire value chain. We work very closely with our customers’ businesses. A number of them work in-house with our own people,” explains Johnsen. “Major volumes will be transported by rail when customers are capable of seeing opportunities CargoNet at Saltfjellet for savings in their own part of the flow of goods as well and adding up the effects from 4 5 “Annual freight transport by rail is expected to increase by 10 million tonnes by 2030.

CargoNet last made a profit in 2007. The year after heralded the start of the financial crisis, and the years which followed presented an ever-increasing flow of cheap, foreign trailers. But now the tide has turned, from a deficit of NOK 90 million in 2014 to a profit of NOK 89 million in 2015. This restructuring initiative cost the jobs of one in five employees at CargoNet and its subsidiary Stein Børre Johnsen, Bring Linehaul AS Roger Kormeseth RailCombi.

Klagen fra Green Cargo av 31. mars 20161 gjelder Bane NORs beslutning av 8. mars 2016 om tildeling av ruteleier som ble tilgjengelige som følge av Cargolink AS (Cargolink) sin markedsuttreden i mars samme år. Klagen retter seg spesifikt mot Bane NORs tildeling av det ene av to tilgjengeliggjorte ruteleier på strekningen Alnabru-Trondheim (det omstridte ruteleiet) til CargoNet AS (CargoNet) fremfor Green Cargo. Tilsynet beklager at det har tatt lang tid å behandle saken. Green Cargo har i klagen anført to grunnlag for hvorfor det omstridte ruteleiet skulle ha vært tildelt Green Cargo. For det første mener Green Cargo at tildelingen «ikke er foretatt i henhold til gjeldende fordelingskriterier».2 For det andre mener Green Cargo at beslutningen medfører en «klar forverring av konkurransesituasjonen» på strekningen Alnabru – Trondheim.3 Klagen er fremsatt i medhold av den tidligere gjeldende fordelingsforskriften § 9-4, som etter første ledd oppstilte adgang til å klage til tilsynet over blant annet tildeling av infrastrukturkapasitet.

  • Measuring the Inaccurate: Causes and Consequences of Train Delays
    Summary: Measuring the inaccurate: Causes and consequences of train delays TØI Report 1459/2015 Author(s): Askill Harkjerr Halse, Vegard Østli and Marit Killi Oslo 2015, 71 pages Norwegian language In this report, we argue that the rich available data on train performance and railway infrastructure should be used to get precise measurements of economic relationships in railway management. As one such exercise, we first show how temporary speed reductions on railway links caused by low infrastructure quality affects running time and delays for Norwegian freight trains. Even though each speed reduction only adds about 44-50 seconds to running time, speed reductions still contribute to delay at the destination. Secondly, we show that delays has a negative effect on demand for passenger and freight trains services. The corresponding demand elasticity is lower than the one implied by willingness-to-pay studies, consistent with evidence from Great Britain. In is widely acknowledged in the transportation economics literature that more reliable transport time constitutes an economic benefit. In the presence of unreliability, individuals and firms adjust by taking costly measures like departing early or keeping a safety stock of goods. The ‘cost’ of train delays is therefore the foregone benefits that could have been achieved if all trains were running on time. Much of the existing literature on railway punctuality is based on optimization and/or simulation, calling for more empirical studies. In the innovation project PRESIS, funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian National Rail Administration, we have developed methods to survey reliability in the Norwegian rail sector.

This applies both when carrying out renewals and in the construction of new infrastructure. The challenges imply a need for a general technology strategy that clarifies goals and guides for technological choices. In this context, the central approaches to problems may include: • The choice of the technological platforms of the future and performance requirements for central facilities and systems • Management of the ageing stock of facilities, in terms of maintenance, prioritisation and pace of renewal • International standardisation and requirements for interoperability • Accelerating development and use of ICT-based railway engineering facilities and systems The strategy has been drawn up primarily for internal use, and shall be used mainly as a basis for investigations and principal plans where alternative technological choices and solutions are to be evaluated, and in the procurement of technical systems and facilities. We assume that the strategy can also be useful in other contexts, such as in conjunction with technical discussions with railway undertakings, suppliers and railway administrations.

Our mission is to ensure accessible railway infra- structure and efficient and user-friendly ser- vices, including the development of hubs and goods terminals. The company’s main responsible are: • Planning, development, administration, operation and maintenance of the national railway network • Traffic management • Administration and development of railway property Bane NOR has approximately 4,500 employees and the head office is based in Oslo, Norway. All plans and figures in this folder are preliminary and may be subject for change. 3 Never has more money been invested in Norwegian railway infrastructure. The InterCity rollout as described in this folder consists of several projects. These investments create great value for all travelers. In the coming years, departures will be more frequent, with reduced travel time within the InterCity operating area. We are living in an exciting and changing infrastructure environment, with a high activity level. Over the next three years Bane NOR plans to introduce contracts relating to a large number of mega projects to the market. Investment will continue until the InterCity rollout is completed as planned in 2034. Additionally, Bane NOR plans together with The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, to build a safer and faster rail and road system between Arna and Stanghelle on the Bergen Line (western part of Norway).
