Similarly unfavorable trends can be noticed in the construction industry. The slowdown in the performance of the road and highway construction program is most unsettling to the company, as it influences the decline of the amount of shipments of aggregate and other construction materials. Furthermore, the economic cooldown resulted in reduced energy demand, which translates to smaller shipments of bituminous coal, which makes up half of the total number of shipments serviced by PKP Cargo. In Q1 of this year, the company noted a nearly 1/3 fall in the number of shipments in comparison to a similar period from 2008. 2) Last year, before the manifestation of any symptoms of the economic crisis, the Board of PKP Cargo decided to perform necessary and thorough changes to company operations, especially in the area of cost optimization. These changes aimed to transform the Company into a fully-functional and competitive player on the domestic and international railway shipping markets. In the course of the restructuring process, over 5.5 thousand of employees and a part of rolling stock of PKP Cargo were re-allocated to companies handling passenger traffic within the PKP Group. The number of facilities was reduced from 42 to 16, as the Company consolidated previously separated tasks of trading and maintenance in the remaining centers. Efforts to boost comprehensive introduction of computer systems within the Company were increased as well; and the Company had reduced its reserves and rationalized its purchases. A number of employees were transferred to newly-created companies within the PKP Cargo Group, which are now handling rolling stock repairs, thus allowing for the performance of repairs in the Group’s own supplementary facilities. Employment restructuring processes have been initiated in agreement with trade unions, in effort to reduce the number of employees by over 15 thousand people within the year. All of these actions have undoubtedly limited any negative effects of the economic crisis on the PKP Cargo. However, the Company does not intend to focus on cost-cutting measures. Even in the face of recession, PKP Cargo is determined to acquire new customers and conclude new contracts. These actions are aided by new, flexible and pro-business policies, which were created to simplify the Company‘s procedures in this scope and facilitate negotiations with our customers. In addition, the Company is entering into new fields of business, which were previously left reserved for its private competitors, including comprehensive handling of railway sidings near mines and power stations. 3) Although signs of economic enlivenment in Poland are now visible, the segments PKP Cargo is most concerned with remain without any significant improvement. Although an increase in the number of shipments performed by the Company is a trend that had been maintained for a few months now, this is not a result of acquiring a new cargo stream, and is owed instead to the Company‘s market expansion and takeover of cargo from its competition. Furthermore, there are limitations hampering the development of the railway market that continue to exist in Poland. These limitations, such as high rates for rail access and the generally bad condition of the railway infrastructure, effectively discourage the use of rail. This, in consequence, decreases the competitiveness of rail in comparison to road transportation. With a less than optimal economic demand and the shrinking volume of available cargo mass, the sharp increase in competiveness between carriers and struggles for each cargo load is not surprising. Furthermore, one should note that the Polish market sees the introduction of new, international cargo carriers, who enjoy a large transportation potential and broad capabilities for financing their operations, as well as easier access to European cargo operators. The Polish industry of railway cargo transportation has its chance for development in the investments concerning construction and expansion of container and transhipments terminals. These terminals will allow the carrier to provide a comprehensive and quality offering, enable further development of intermodal shipments, and facilitate cooperation with road carriers so as to provide a comprehensive „house to house“ service. One should also expect further alliances between the largest railway operators, as strong equity is necessary to survive on the market and successfully compete with road transport. Imre Kovács CEO MÁV CARGO Zrt., Maďarsko / Hungary 1) Tak ako ostatní nákladní železniční operátori, aj MÁV Cargo pocítilo silné dopady hospodárskej krízy. Našťastie niektoré tovary ako poľnohospodárske produkty alebo drevo už vykazujú nárast produkcie a my sa tomuto pomalému rastu ekonomiky prispôsobujeme. 2) Samozrejme. Nepretržite monitorujeme zmeny na trhu tak, aby sme boli schopní promptne reagovať. Mimo toho je nevyhnutné sledovať našich konkurentov a vykonávať konkurencieschopné ponuky a nepoľavovať v akvizičnej činnosti. Akvizičná činnosť spočíva najmä v rozvíjaní a rozširovaní produktového portfólia a optimalizácii služieb. Navyše bolo oveľa jednoduchšie zvládnuť problémy na strane nákladov vďaka našim zamestnancom, ktorí akceptovali manažmentom navrhnuté dočasné zníženie mzdy na 5 mesiacov. 3) Vzhľadom na sezónnosť by mal byť druhý polrok už lepší. Počítame s pozitívnym vývojom ekonomiky už budúci rok a od roku 2011 predpokladáme, že nákladný železničný trh by mal tento vývoj ekonomiky nasledovať. 1) Similar to all the other rail freight operators, MÁV Cargo Zrt. has also been heavily affected by the economic crisis. Luckily certain fields such as agriculture or timber are already showing improvement, so our colleagues are already catching up with the slow upturn of the economy taking into consideration good production and the extended delivery period. 2) Naturally. We are continuously monitoring market changes to be able to react prompt. Besides, it is inevitable to follow our competitors to keep our competitive offers and one should never stop new acquisitions. For this latter, continuous development and extension of the service palette with optimalisation of the services is essential. Moreover, thanks to our employees, on the cost side the difficulties were very much easied by them when they accepted temporary wage reduction that the management proposed for 5 months. 3) Because of seasonality, the second half should be already better. We calculate with a positive economic upturn already next year, and from 2011 we forecast the rail freight market to follow the economic upturn.

EUROKOMBI – INTERMODAL 2009 Dopravno – politickými, technicko – technologickými a ekonomickými aspektami rozvoja intemodálnej prepravy v podmienkach európskeho prepravného trhu sa venoval 12. ročník medzinárodnej vedeckej konferencie EUROKOMBI – INTERMODAL 2009 v Žiline. Konferencia sa už tradične konala na pôde Žilinskej univerzity v dňoch 9. a 10. júna 2009 a v tomto ročníku dostala prívlastok vedecká. Zvyšovanie konkurencieschopnosti intermodálnej prepravy v rámci medzinárodného obchodu bola hlavná téma prvého dňa. Z prezentácií jasne vyplynulo, že budúcnosť prepráv tovarov je v kombinovanej doprave. - Slovensko je typickým príkladom rastu kombinovaných prepráv vďaka svojej výhodnej geografickej polohe. Jeho potenciál je jednoznačne v zachytení prepráv tovarov po moriach smerom do vnútrozemia, ale aj z východnej Ázie, - povedal vo svojej prednáške riaditeľ nemeckej spoločnosti K+P Transport Consultants Hans-Paul Kienzler. Dôležité sú podľa neho investície, ktoré prinesú ovocie v budúcnosti. Za ministerstvo dopravy, pôšt a telekomunikácii vystúpil Ing. Peter Kačala, ktorý informoval o vplyvoch globalizácie svetovej ekonomiky na dopravnú politiku SR v oblasti intermodálnej prepravy. V prezentácii poukázal na fakt, že prepravy tovarov z Ázie po železnici nie sú hudbou budúcnosti. - Pilotné prepravy dokázali, že Transsibírska magistrála má veľký potenciál. Ruské železnice plánujú veľké investície do jej rekonštrukcie z dôvodov skrátenia prepravného času, - podotkol Ing. Peter Kačala. Železničná doprava mala v roku 2008 24-percentný podiel prepravných výkonov (čtkm) na celkovom dopravnom trhu Slovenskej republiky, z toho až 97 percent zabezpečovala ZSSK CARGO. Riaditeľ sekcie marketingu ZSSK CARGO Ing. Václav Wicher na konferencii prezentoval výkony spoločnosti, kapacity mobilného parku, investície, IT nástroje, certifikované produkty i ponúkané služby. - Prudký pokles výkonov v tomto roku bol zapríčinený okrem iných vplyvov skladbou prepravovaného tovaru. Vyše 60 percent prepráv sa týka hutníckeho priemyslu, ktorý bol najviac postihnutý hospodárskou krízou, - priblížil Ing. V. Wicher fakt, prečo konkurencia v cestnej doprave a iní železniční dopravcovia stratili percentuálne menej. Do minulého roka intermodálna preprava nepretržite rástla, v roku 2008 v porovnaní s rokom 2003 to bolo o 166 percent, v porovnaní s rokom 2007 o 26 percent. Aj v tejto komodite sa však prejavuje vplyv globálnej krízy. - V medziročnom porovnaní v januári až apríli sme v roku 2009 zaznamenali pokles celkovo o 7,6 percent a to v režime tranzit a dovoz. Vývoz, a prekvapivo vnútro, narástli, - zhodnotil vývoj intermodálnej prepravy Ing. V. Wicher. ZSSK CARGO zabezpečuje spojenia s nemeckými prístavmi Hamburg a Bremenhaven, holandským prístavom Rotterdam, slovinským Koperom a terminálmi v Českej republike, Rakúsku a pre automobilky Kia a VW v Rusku. Vlaky intermodálnej prepravy sú certifikované, čo znamená záruku kvality. V súčasnosti má ZSSK CARGO k dispozícii 872 vozňov vhodných pre intermodálne prepravy, do roku 2012 je plánovaný nákup vozňov radu Sggmmrss (90-stopový vozeň) v počte 50 vozňov ročne. - Automobilový a elektrotechnický priemysel, prepojenie na Rusko s využitím Transsibírskej magistrály, kapacity Terminálu kombinovanej dopravy Dobrá, prístavy Severného mora a severného Jadranu, to sú hlavné príležitostí rastu kombinovanej dopravy na území Slovenska, - uviedol ďalej marketingový riaditeľ ZSSK CARGO Ing. V. Wicher. Ďalší rozvoj intermodálnej dopravy je závislý aj od štátnej dopravnej politiky, budovania terminálov v perspektívnych lokalitách pre vznik nových relácií. Monika SCHMIDTOVÁ oddelenie komunikácie a medzinárodných vzťahov The issues of transport - political, technical - technological and economic aspects of intermodal transport development under conditions of the European transport market were dealt with at the 12th annual international scientific conference EUROKOMBI - Intermodal 2009 in Žilina. The conference was traditionally held in the premises of Žilina University on 9 and 10 June 2009 and this year received the characteristics - scientific. Improving the competitiveness of intermodal transport within the frame of international trade was the main topic of the first day. The presentations made clear that transportation of goods held a key to its future in combined transport. - Slovakia is a typical example of growth in combined transport due to its favourable geographical location. Its potential is clearly in to seizing goods transportations by sea directed to inland, but also from the East Asia, - said in his presentation the director of German company K + P Transport Consultants Hans-Paul Kienzler. The investments, that will bear fruit in the future, are important. Mr. Peter Kačala delivered his presentation on behalf of the Ministry of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications. He reported on the effects of the world economy globalization on the transport policy of the Slovak Republic in the field of intermodal transport. The presentation highlighted the fact that the transportation of goods from Asia by rail is not an impossible future prospect.
