Preservation and development of an efficient hinterland connection is compulsory assumption for this growth

Preservation and development of an efficient hinterland connection

Ports Inland terminalsInfrastructure DB

� Validation dimensioning of port infrastructure

� Strategic positioning to particular ports

� Mutual development of master plans with ports and terminal operators

� Development of measures to avoid bottlenecks that affect the quality

� Building new and upgrading existing lines

� Intensify marketing approach in cooperation with ports and railway undertakings

� Review of forecast + dimensioning of terminals

� Review of the terminal access to routes and marshalling yards

� Dimensioning of buffer capacity in terminals and in the front end of them

6DB Netze Fahrweg

The key challenges are to provide capacity building and investment funds - European policy as an additional driver

Greatest challenges from the perspective of DB Netz

Market development Investment fundsEuropean rail freight policy

� Overlay of traffic in main corridors and knots

� Reurbanization with increase in transport demand in the knots

� Strong increase of railway traffic, but projected market share decline of rail freight due to capacity constraints in routes / knots and assets

� Routes & terminals connect major economic regions within Europe

� Advisory groups for RUs & terminals

� “Corridor OSS”: Single Point of Contact

� “Improved” catalogue paths up from Jan. 2013 – seamless transport for our customers

� Profound market expertise due to regular market studies

2013

2011 190 Mio. EUR

300 Mio. EUR

� Investment short-term measures seaport hinterland traffic by 2013: 300 Mio. EUR

� Investment until the end of 2011: 190 Mio. EUR

� Quickly implementable, upward compatible, also funded interim solutions for freight / long distance / local transport

� Use regulation as opportunity - Develop a common perspective with corridor partners and neighboring IMs

� Use RNE as facilitator for transforming methods and tools

� Available investment funds must be used optimally

� Develop a network design with a focus in 2030 required (“Netzkonzeption 2030”)

Short-term measures seaport hinterland traffic

Brief description Customer benefits

About 50 measures to incorporate the additional traffic from the seaports and to increase the capacity of the main corridors

Picture: aboutpixel.de / Container © chhmz

� Creation of adequate track capacity for additional traffic approximately by 2015

� With implementation of these measures we develop goods transport capacityup to 140 bn. ton-kilometers

The Development Program (“Wachstumsprogramm”) …

� Achieves high capacity effects by bundeling on corridors

� Creates promptly capacity gains to the amount of 20m train-path-kilometers

� Enables an increase of traffic volumeby 10 bn. ton-kilometers

� Admits a fast realization at reasonable costs

� Is upward compatible and enhances other investment programs by demand

� Creates continuous, alternative traffic corridors

Development Program – Approach and elements

11DB Netze Fahrweg

Masterplan Program:

Sales measures to increase the proportion of Rail in the port hinterland traffic

Use of strong acceleration vehicles (Rail passenger transport)

�Reduction of minimum headway�Increase of capacity

Use of residual capacity of the route Hamburg / Hanover

�Utilizing less used routes in outlying areas

Alternative routing of freight traffic from Lübeck in the direction of Southern Germany(via East-Corridor = Bad Kleinen)

�Disburden the knot Hamburg

Alternative routing on demand of freight traffic from Hamburg in the direction of Southern Germany (utilization of OHE**-routes)

�Disburden the route Hamburg/ Hannover

Pricing of time-uncritical freight traffic on secondary lines to increase capacity on the main routes (Discount on alternative routing)

Examples for new measures: Mutual projects with German ports, (e.g. Hamburg 62+. Project-aim: Increasing the share of rail from currently 62% in and out of the state of Bavaria)

� Measures for hinterland traffic and additionally corresponding new and upgrading measures („Bedarfsplan“**) (e.g. Stelle - Lüneburg)

� Stimulating and speeding up of new and upgrading measures („Bedarfsplan“)

� Alternative routes, additionally corresponding new and upgrading measures („Bedarfsplan“)

� Node measures

� Progress to target state with focus 2030

� Focus freight traffic: Karlsruhe – Basel

� Focus passenger traffic: Rhein/Main –Rhein/Neckar
