Identifying needs of terminals

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As part of the CLYMA project, to identify service needs and terminals for development of the Corridor, we have prepared a catalogue with the terminals and services associated to this axis. We have put together some detailed fact sheets containing the infrastructure features and services of each terminal. As a result of this work, we have performed a comparative analysis of the terminals and identified the main shortcomings to be corrected.

STUDY CONDUCTED BY: TEIRLOG Ingeniería with the collaboration of Robert Claraco (2015)

2 Identification of shortcomings and deficiencies in the intermodal terminals

INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES There is no large terminal in Catalonia, as there is in Madrid or Zaragoza, but a whole series, some of which are very small n and fairly close together, which prevents the generation of economies of scale and concentration of cargo & flows n Usage of the terminals (per surface or per L/U tracks) is much higher in the smaller terminals than in the larger ones n UIC gauge tracks are not available in the Spanish terminals, except in Barcelona Morrot and Port of Barcelona. 750-metre long loading/unloading tracks are not available in the Spanish and French terminals, except in Barcelona n Morrot (mixed-gauge tracks only) in Spain, and Miramas, Perpignan and Fos XXL in France. Trains therefore have to be cut. In most of the Spanish terminals, and all of the French ones, the tracks are not continuous, but “dead end of line”, n entailing more manoeuvres. Rail accessibility to the terminals of Coslada and Bertschi is insufficient. To access the terminal, trains have to be cut if n longer than 420 m and 225 m respectively. Difficulties in rail accessibility to the Fos XXL terminal. Difficulties in both rail and road access to the Lyon, Marseille and Avignon terminals owing to their location in their n urban areas and the design of the network, and heavy traffic. n Most of the small, private terminals need to be supported by an ADIF technical installation located nearby. Several Spanish and French terminals (Azuqueca, Portbou, Granollers, Abroñigal and Coslada in Spain, and Lyon- Vénissieux, Avignon and Marseille Le Canet in France) cannot be enlarged because they are located in urban areas or for n other reasons. In some of these, the problem will be solved by moving them to new planned terminals (Far d’Empordá, La Llagosta, Vicálvaro). n Difficulties in rail access to the terminals of the ports of Barcelona and Tarragona.

SERVICES ISSUES

n French terminals provide only the few indispensable services needed for changing modes. n Controlled temperature ITUs service for perishable goods is not provided in any of the Spanish terminals (except in the Port of Barcelona). There are no facilities able to provide this service in any of the Spanish terminals. n None of the Spanish terminals in this study have specialised facilities for dangerous goods, ITU storage (except the Bayer/Bertschi Terminal), and many of them are unable to provide services to these (R/D, L/U and storage of the ITUs), except PLAZA, Azuqueca Dry Port, Barcelona-Morrot, Granollers, TCB, Best, Tarragona Port and Bayer Terminals. n Very few terminals have services for cleaning ITUs (PLAZA, tmZ, Monzon and Azuqueca Dry Port) and maintenance (PLAZA and Azuqueca Dry Port). n In general, the Spanish terminals provide no services to goods: storage, consolidation/deconsolidation, etc., except tmZ, Azuqueca Dry Port and Abroñigal (Granollers, Bertschi, Coslada and Tarragona Port provide cargo storage and handling services). No French terminal provides services to goods. n Few terminals offer Custom and inspection services (PLAZA, Portbou, Bertschi, Abroñigal, TCB, Coslada, Tarragona Port). Others provide only Customs services (tmZ, Azuqueca and BEST). n Most of the Spanish terminals provide no services to haulage trucks (only tmZ, Monzón, Granollers, Abroñigal and Azuqueca). n Most of the French terminals lack additional services to ITUs. Several terminals do not even provide an ITU storage service. n Many of the Spanish terminals are associated or very close to a Logistics Platform, with the consequent advantages, but this is not the case for the French ones, except those associated with a port and the Miramas terminal.

Type of shortcoming: Critical n Significantly restrictive n Restrictive n 3 Summary tables and maps

Summary tables and maps have been prepared to evaluate and compare the current state of the intermodal terminals studied. These summary tables and maps include the main characteristics that define the functionality of intermodal terminals, and a system of colours to indicate the current state of the terminal in each aspect.

The features selected to evaluate and compare The colour system developed to assess the the intermodal terminals are: current state of the intermodal terminals in each feature is: . Total area Very good condition or high value . Road accessibility Medium condition or value (improbable) . Rail accessibility Deficient condition or low value . Technical characteristics: If no information is available for a feature, it will be Receipt/Dispatch tracks, white, since it cannot be assessed. Loading/Unloading tracks and Loading/Unloading & Storage yards . Current Activity: 2012 or 2013

10 Main findings from the infrastructure and services analysis of certain key The performance of the reference terminals analysed is greater, both in terms of area productivity and track European terminals: Busto, DELTA 3, productivity, than most Spanish terminals. But there are TRICON & KTL Kombi Terminal notable exceptions like TCB in terms of area performance, Ludwidgshafen and tmZ and Coslada Dry Port in terms of tracks. Constantí, Granollers, Monzón or Lyon-Vénissieux High traffic levels, in no case corresponding terminals also show good performance levels. to the size of the terminal . The Kombi Terminal Ludwidgshafen is the smallest The conclusion is that some of the terminals in the Lyon- (13 ha), handling 350,000 TEUs, but TriCon (17 ha) Madrid section are among the best in Europe in terms of handles 530,000 TEUs. Busto (24 ha) handles performance, but most of them have low productivity 420,000 TEUs, and the largest, DELTA 3, handles ratios. 250,000 TEUs

Obtaining synergies by concentrating with inland waterway mode . The search for synergies by joining the location of Delta 3 and Tricon shows clear results.

Key provision of track infrastructure . All terminals show a significant provision of rail infrastructure: 10 tracks in TriCon, 11 in Busto, and 13 in Kombi Terminal Ludwidgshafen, also in DELTA 3. In almost every case the length of the tracks allows trains of at least 700 m.

Key provision of gantry cranes . All terminals have large handling capacity, mainly obtained with a significant provision of gantry cranes: 12 in Busto, 8 in Kombi Terminal Ludwidgshafen, 5 in DELTA 3, and 4 in TriCon.

Relevant combined transport operators involved in the terminal management . In the case of Busto, the terminal is owned and managed by HUPAC, the Swiss Rail-Road Combined operator; in Kombi Terminal Ludwidgshafen, HUPAC and Kombiverkehr, the German Rail-Road Combined operator, both are shareholders of the terminal management company. In TriCon, Kombiverkehr is also a shareholder, and in DELTA 3 Naviland and Novatrans, both combined transport operators, are also shareholders of the terminal operator. That is one way of ensuring traffic volumes.
