After the very first transportations, dating back to 2008, more and<br />
more container block trains from Southeast Asia transit across the<br />
territory of Slovakia.<br />
Last year, the Russian company TransContainer, as a renter, entered<br />
the combined transport terminal in Dobrá. <strong>ZSSK</strong> <strong>CARGO</strong> and the<br />
strategic partner signed a contract on lease of combined transport<br />
terminal for the period of 15 years. The objective of this lease is to<br />
attract the new transhipment and transportation performances to the<br />
terminal. The first freight container train, since the terminal in Dobrá<br />
was rented, crossed the Slovak-Ukraine border in Čierna nad Tisou/<br />
Chop on 21.November 2009. Twenty containers of pilot train from<br />
Inchon (Korea) through Yingkou (China), Zabajkalsk (Russia), and<br />
Chop (Ukraine) to combined transport terminal in Dobrá (Slovakia)<br />
travelled more than ten thousand kilometres in 17 days.<br />
On this route, containers were transhipped because of different track<br />
gauges in individual countries twice. Even with these technical breaks,<br />
the train ran, on average, almost 600 kilometres a day. Destination<br />
station of the pilot train was in Wroclaw, Poland. Immediately after<br />
the transhipment of the first train, the CEO advisor of company<br />
TransContainer, Mr. Oleg Agafoncev commented on the prospect that<br />
the pilot train would be followed by other trains. And the following<br />
months were a proof of his expectations.<br />
Another train arrived at combined transport terminal in Dobrá on<br />
15.December 2009. Thirty-four containers went to Austria on two<br />
block trains. From January to 9.February, another five container trains<br />
with destination in Poland were transhipped. For the transportation<br />
of containers to early February 2010, 111 wagons were used and 124<br />
containers were transported from East Asia to Europe.<br />
Shunting between Čierna nad Tisou and combined transport terminal<br />
Dobrá as well as shunting from combined transport terminal Dobrá<br />
to the railway station Pribeník, from where the block container trains<br />
were dispatched, were carried out by <strong>ZSSK</strong> <strong>CARGO</strong>. The company also<br />
acted as a carrier of all trains, and containers from wagons of broad<br />
gauge were transhipped to its own normal-gauge wagons.<br />
These were the new hinge-connected Sggmrss 90’ wagons,<br />
suitable for transportation of large-capacity 20, 30, 40 and 45-<br />
foot containers. Their advantage is interoperability, variability of<br />
transported intermodal transport units, variability of container and<br />
swap body loading as well as protection of transported goods. Besides<br />
Sggmrss, the wagons of series Lgs, Kbkks and Sgnss, which are a part<br />
of modernized rolling stocks of company <strong>ZSSK</strong> <strong>CARGO</strong>, are used to<br />
transport containers to the destination station.<br />
Transportation of goods from Asia through the territory of Russia,<br />
Ukraine and Slovakia, using the services of combined transport<br />
terminal in Dobrá will result in shorter transit time and guarantee<br />
quality service for customers. Compared with the traditional<br />
transportation by sea, the period of transportation was reduced<br />
by half. Each of seven trains arrived at the final destination station<br />
within twenty days. This time shows that transportations of goods by<br />
rail in direction east - west by the Trans-Siberian railway are a strong<br />
competitor for sea transport.<br />
The operators must become aware of the strategic contact of two<br />
railway gauges in V. international railway corridor, which is also at the<br />
interface of two different traffic law systems and customs systems.<br />
Positive experiences in provision of container transhipment in<br />
combined transport terminal in Dobrá, as well as services provided by<br />
the carrier <strong>ZSSK</strong> <strong>CARGO</strong> already exist.<br />
