3. RAIL SCENARIOS<br />
43<br />
MIST Working Group, version 2001<br />
The scenario 3.1. details the use of a Railway carrier who is requested by the consignor, to<br />
execute the physical delivery of the goods from the consignor to the consignee. This<br />
scenario covers national and international transports by rail. The only difference between<br />
national and international is that more than one Railway carrier participates in the transport.<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e previous agreements among Railway community has been established to handle<br />
such a co-operation. In this way each Railway company in<strong>for</strong>ms the next one in the<br />
transport chain, by passing in<strong>for</strong>mation via EDI messages or through documents<br />
accompanying the consignment. A wider description of how the in<strong>for</strong>mation is transmitted<br />
among the various railway companies is presented in appendix 1.<br />
3.1. Delivery Consignor to Consignee – the Railway transport is ordered by<br />
the consignor<br />
This scenario details the use of a Railway carrier (carrier or freight <strong>for</strong>warder) who is<br />
requested by the consignor, to execute the physical delivery of the goods from the consignor<br />
to the consignee.<br />
This scenario concentrates on the consignor arranging the transport service provided by the<br />
freight <strong>for</strong>warder/carrier. The consignor pays <strong>for</strong> the transport.<br />
In the case of pre-carriage, main-carriage and on-carriage, the approach <strong>for</strong> these steps is<br />
similar to the one described in Road scenario 2.<br />
Our basic assumption is that the consignor is the payer but there are several other cases<br />
when the consignee or both of them are financially involved.<br />
3.1.1. Roles of Parties Involved<br />
Consignor<br />
In this scenario the consignor has the responsibility and the concern with arranging<br />
transport. He must also notify the consignee that the goods are despatched and to provide<br />
documentation about the despatch ant the goods ordered.<br />
Consignee<br />
The Consignee has in this scenario a minimal responsibility and no concern with arranging<br />
transport. He can notify the consignor about the goods received.<br />
Freight <strong>for</strong>warder/Railway carrier<br />
The Freight <strong>for</strong>warder/Railway carrier will act on instructions given by the Consignor with<br />
regard to collection, transport and delivery of the goods.<br />
3.1.2. Contractual Obligations agreed be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
Contract <strong>for</strong> Carriage between Carrier and Consignor<br />
- Freight Rate Negotiation<br />
