INLAND/INTERMODAL NEWS TE plans to build pan- Africa locomotive Kazakhstan, traditionally heavily dependent on engine and railcar imports, is set to produce freight rolling stock for its own and export markets. It is estimated Central Asia’s largest country needs up to 53,000 freight wagons by 2020 due to substantial write-downs and retirement of available railcars. Askar Mamin, president of Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ, Kazakhstan Railways) stated that the government has Pretoria (South Africa)-based Transnet Engineering (TE), an operating unit of state-controlled rail freight, ports and pipelines group Transnet, is hoping that a new locomotive it is designing will boost its sales across the African subcontinent and in South America. It is understood that the company has been working on a prototype of the locomotive for more than two years and that it should be ready early in 2014. TE has been building up its design expertise with the project since being commissioned by Chicago-headquartered General Electric to manufacture more than 140 locomotives for which it had received orders from TE’s sister company Trans Freight Rail. The new locomotive features a design that enables it to use a propulsion system different from normal practice, where traction motors are fitted underneath the engine and attached to each axle. According to Richard Vallihu, CEO of TE, the locomotive is “better able to withstand the jarring and bumping that comes from travelling over uneven railway lines.” In Africa many rail tracks are in poor condition and funds are extremely limited to upgrade them. At the same time the demand for rail services is increasing as exports of bulk commodities rise along with the need to use alternatives to roads, which are also in poor condition, as imports for landlocked Africa are also increasing. Thoba Majoka, general manager of strategy and marketing at TE, added: “For African rail conditions, you need something that is rugged and strong. We will use a hydro-dynamic box system manufactured by German engineering and technology firm Voith to provide the hauling power.” As part of Transnet’s seven-year strategic plan, TE has been tasked with generating additional revenues from sales outside of South Africa with ZAR6B the target figure by 2019. This compares with current sales of around ZAR865M and the pan-African locomotive is one of the projects designed to help achieve this fiscal goal. TE is also looking beyond Africa and sees opportunities for its planned locomotive and also its rolling stock modules on narrow gauge rail systems elsewhere in the world, particularly in Chile and Colombia. settled on a plan to reduce the country’s dependence on rolling stock imports and develop its own production facilities, not least because traditional sources (mainly Russia) are concentrating on their own networks. Last year 1978 wagons were built in Kazakhstan, and of those 85% were produced by the Kazakhstan Car Manufacturing Company (KVK). This plant was set up in 2008 on the basis of wagon ADIF’s Murcia award Spain’s rail track authority, ADIF, has awarded a concession to operate a freight terminal in Murcia to a joint venture consisting of MacAndrews, the CMA- CGM affiliate specialising in short sea shipping, and Spain’s Continental Rail. The contract is for five years. A second contract, also for five years, covering the Rail Logistics Centre at Badajoz, was declared deserted. Three other freight yards are to be put out to tender, these being Granollers (four years), Zaragoza-Plaza (five years) and Mérida (five years). For these latter three, a new type of contract involving more risk and reward is to be offered. Since Gonzalo Ferre was appointed as the new president of ADIF (Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias) in January this year, the organisation has Continental Rail SA is one of Spain’s new competitors to RENFE Kazakhstan to export rolling stock repair workshops, when rolling stock depreciation reached 70%. Astana has also managed to create conditions for global industry leaders such as General Electric and Talgo to localise production in Kazakhstan, and last December France’s Alstom and Russia’s TransMashHolding (TMH) launched production of freight (KZ8A) and passenger (KZ4AT) locomotives in Astana, with the aim of producing up to 100 tried to adopt a more flexible approach to concessions, to attract a wider range of bidders on the basis of different business models for them to pursue according to preference. Progeco Vigo SA has requested an 8000 m 2 area on the Arenal del Puerto quay at the north-western Spanish port of Vigo to build a terminal to handle containers and other cargo. Progeco Vigo was set up in 1994 and operates a CFS in the port, and it also provides project cargo lashing services, second-hand container sales and related services. Vigo is “back on the agenda” for a second “motorway of the sea” link with France. Spanish and French officials are working on a tender for a Montoir (St Nazaire)-Vigo link. Currently Louis Dreyfus Armateurs operates a Montoir-Gijón link. units of each type per annum by 2015. The 50M project is aimed at covering the domestic market (up to 200 freight and 95 passenger locomotives a year) and exporting the balance. Kazakhstan’s president Nursultan Nazarbayev has declared his country’s preparedness to be able to supply the other Tax Union markets (Russia and Belarus) with Kazakhstan-made locomotives. Taking into account more sophisticated technologies and lower costs of local production, Kazakh engines could provide lively competition for their Russian-made peers. CEVA into Eurasian landbridge CEVA Logistics recently announced the launch of a new daily China-Europe intermodal rail service, connecting Suzhou, located west of Shanghai, with the Netherlands. Total transit time for the whole journey is around 28 days, following an 11,000 kms northerly route across Russia. This new routing follows a successful trial service that CEVA conducted for a customer in the technology sector during a traditional “busy time” for China’s rail net. CEVA says it brought significant cost savings to the customer compared to air freight, along with a shorter transit time of 13-15 days compared to sea freight. This is the classic “sell” for the Trans-Siberian landbridge. The service is more expensive than sea freight, but door-to-door transit time is much shorter; air freight is the quickest but is too expensive. In the trial shipment, the container travelled across Russia at temperatures as low as -38 degC. CEVA provided GPS tracking and “visibility” throughout the journey, along with specially insulated packaging materials to protect the shipment. Suitable packaging will be provided to keep products cool in hot summer temperatures. Martin Thaysen, CEVA Logistics’ EVP, China said: “This new service provides more options for customers to optimise their supply chain by integrating different transportation modes. It is a good example of where we combine our experience of China’s domestic network with our international freight solutions to support our customers’ supply chains...we developed this new railway route to allow our customers the flexibility of daily departures from Shanghai and Suzhou.” QUALITY ON TIME Cassettes Depending of your needs Novatech ApS can offer you standard and customized cassettes: Flexmaster Novatech is more than standard – We are your Flexible Partner!
