DECEMBER 2017 95 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE 96 CONTACT ZSSK CARGO Annual Report for 2017 3 FOREWORD BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS To evaluate the year 2017 at ZSSK CARGO, a few im- portant facts should be stated. In 2017, the company transported 35.665 million tonnes of goods, which represents a one percent increase compared to the plan, and a transport volume which is comparable to that in 2016. The company did not reach the planned transport revenues despite having fulfilled the trans- port volume plan, and the actual amount was only EUR 252.8 million. This was caused by the continued price pressure, where the ambitious increase in unit prices in the plan was not achieved. On the contrary, there was a slight change in the carriage structure in favour of shipments with lower unit prices, and so the average transport distance decreased. A decline in the trans- port revenues was offset by freight wagon operations, higher income from repairs, leases, the operation of siding tracks, and the sale of unnecessary property. Lower volumes of carried goods resulted in a lower consumption of traction diesel and electric power at positively evolving unit prices and, along with lower railway infrastructure charges, largely offset the oth- er kinds of costs which were exceeded. As a result, the company slightly exceeded the planned profit for 2017 and managed to reduce the amount of the in- terest-bearing debt, i.e. bank loans, financial leases, and debts to ŽSR, by EUR 8.1 million on a year-over- year basis. Given a decline in the transport revenues and the situation on the market, this can be seen as a success, although, on the other hand, the investment debt and activities underinvested due to the non-fulfil- ment of the investment plan are growing. Concerning the transport structure itself, it should also be noted that the competitive struggle in the liberalised transport market brings significant year- over-year fluctuations in the ZSSK CARGO volumes of transport of some commodities where the carriage of goods in block trains is predominant. That was the case, for example, of last year’s transit of coal. There- fore, we are pleased that the company succeeded in making new shipments in the commodity of building materials, especially in the export segment. A redirec- tion of goods flows can also be seen in the commodity of timber. Last year container train shipments from 4 ZSSK CARGO Annual Report for 2017 China to Germany and Hungary through Slovakia were Finally, let us take a look at the company’s business launched successfully, which gives us the chance to and tariff policy for 2018.

  • Rail Quality Based Index
    Master Degree Project in Logistics and Transport Management Rail Quality Based Index Shengda Zhu and Linkai Wang Supervisor: Prof. Rickard Bergqvist June 2015 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to establish an integrated rail quality based index to evaluate different freight wagons’ performance. All materials are collected through literature reviews and interviews. The Rail Quality Based Index (RQBI) is established in the form of cost that can represent the main quality aspects associated with freight wagons self-characteristics. The index construction includes four main components, i.e. infrastructure, energy, maintenance and noise. Each component’s cost can be calculated by applying different methods from previous studies. By comparing index value with benchmark, the RQBI can help different parties in rail freight industry to evaluate and compare their freight wagons quality performance. This research concludes costs differentiated by wagons’ characteristics and tries to represent them in an integrated index’s form. Though, due to data deficiency, validation of the index and establishment of relevant benchmarks are not fully discussed in this research, it helps to further understand quality evaluation of freight wagons and points out a new perspective of future relevant researches. Key Words: Rail Freight Quality; Wagon; Benchmarking; RQBI; Differentiated Infrastructure Charges. I Acknowledgements We would like to thank all those who have given support during the completion of the thesis. Firstly, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our supervisor Professor Rickard Bergqvist for all the guidance, advice and comments during the process of the thesis. Secondly, we appreciate all respondents who participated in the interviews and we are grateful for their quick responses, expertise and helpful suggestions.

This locomotive started its second life through a second-hand transaction, 29 years after the manufacturer completed it. Built by Alsthom for Dutch national operator NS in 1982, locomotive 1836 was sold to private rail freight operator LOCON Benelux B.V. in October 2011. Subsequently, the locomotive was repainted and renumbered in 9905. In September 2017, when LOCON Benelux B.V. faced bankruptcy, Rotterdam-based rail fleet management company RailReLease B.V. acquired it. At that time, locomotive 9905 was still going strong at an age of 35 years, showing the potential of second-hand rail vehicles.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.

  • Innovation Challenge for Indian Railways

D. KUTHWAD, 3S. B. VANE, 4K. B. DISALE, 5T. D. ANARASE 1, 2, 3,4,5, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Shree Chattrapati Shivajiraje college of Engineering, Dhangawadi Pune, Maharashtra, India. [email protected] , [email protected] ,, [email protected],[email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT Modern express trains in India face the problem of having a higher floor level than the current platform level. It is also seen in new rakes and coaches that there is a substantial gap in between the train floor and the platform. This proves to be a challenge to some people who needs to climb a set of near vertical exterior steps to reach the train floor level from the platform level. Accidents occur when people misstep and fall down in the gaps too. Simple solutions can eliminate this problem. In India, the floor height of express and long-distance trains is not compatible with the platform height and changes. In most cases, the distance increases beyond comfort limit of the passengers. The problem becomes more prominent when people struggle to climb abroad and get down from trains on to the platforms because of steep exterior steps which often lead to accidents and injuries. This is mostly seen with small kids, women, elderly, people with arthritis and others and also while moving heavy luggage in and out of the train. In all the above cases, a simple construction of platform risers and gap fillers can make a huge difference.

The actual development is not at the moment in line with this. To reach the white paper target, it is necessary to both increase quality and capacity and lower the cost of rail freight. In this report, guidelines and technologies would be proposed for 2030/2050. To achieve this, SP2: New Concepts for Freight, was split into four work packages; WP21 Progress beyond the state of the art, WP22; Novel rail freight vehicles and WP23; Co-modal transhipment and interchange/logistics, culminating in WP24; Catalogue of specifications. This document addresses the following objectives of WP24: • To analyse the potential of newly designed, fully integrated rail freight systems and understand the expected market up take levels; • To produce a catalogue on rail freight systems to contribute to the Commission’s goals for 2030 and 2050 (i.e. achieving modal shift from road to rail) ; Deliverable 24.2 consolidates and builds on the output produced under SP2 so far, to develop the following catalogue for rail freight systems which meets the requirements and expectations of 2030/2050.
