CONTAINER BLOCK TRAINS IN ROMANIA IN 2005CONTAINER BLOCK TRAINS IN ROMANIA IN 2005--2006 (1)2006 (1)

In the framework of the project ZEUSS (responsible Railion Deutschland AG) which has as the main goal the improvement of the quality of the railway transport services on the railway of South-East Europe, CFR Marfa has surveyed transit of the CFR network by two trains for combined transport.


Namely, the block train (containers, mobile boxes, road semi-trailers)

Distance:- the block train from Koln (Germany) to Kosekoy (Turkey) and the return trip, - the block train from Duisburg – Halkali (Istanbul) and its return trip.

ROMANIA


In 2005 on the south to north relation the train (Kosekoy – Koln) made run 189 times and the other train (Halkali – Duisburg) made it 38 times. On the north to south relation, the first train (Koln - Kosekoy) made the trip 193 times and the other train (Duisburg – Halkali) 39 times.


For these trains, CFR Marfa: (a) offers the priority in the circulation on the CFR network;(b) undertakes measures to reduce duration of the transport by an effective monitoring of

the circulation of trains by the traffic services;(c) analyses and optimizes technological and economic process at the border stations

Ruse and Curtici by efficient cooperation with relevant State bodies (customs, phytosanitary, sanitary, veterinary, border crossing police etc.);

(d) informs the customer (Transfesa/Railog) in case of commercial and technical difficulties occurring at the border crossing stations and suggest the way towards their settlement.

ROMANIA


Also, in 2005 and 2006 Okombi (Austria) and Rail Cargo Austria work on a RO-LA project (road motor-trains embarked on specialized wagons RO-LA) on the relation Halkali (Turkey) – Wels (Austria) and the return way, with transit through Romania.


CFR Marfa performs regular trips with ferryboats on the from Constanta-Derince (Turkey-Derince) with CFR Marfa charged reserved wagons. Two ferryboats Eforie and Mangalia have a capacity of 12,000 tonnes dead weight and can load for every voyage either 70 wagons and 40 TIR lorries, or 107 wagons or 80 TIR lorries.
