Development of Transport Volume

Development of transport volume between Austria and the CEECs (in 1,000 t)

The increase in foreign trade in the Danube region denotes an intensification of economic ties between the Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) and Western Europe.

interim Current situation of container transport I

•

The situation on the Danube with respect to container transport is not very bright.

•

The development of the past few years contrasts starkly to the success stories in Western Europe (Rhine, Seine, Rhone, Belgium waterways), specifically, it has plunged.

•

In 2005, the volume transported on the Austrian Danube was merely 3,000 container units, which is around 5,000 TEU.

•

This corresponds to around 1 % of Austria’s imports and exports via sea ports.

•

Currently, only exports of cut timber in the direction of Antwerp (BE) as well as empty containers from Hungary and Germany to Austria are shipped via the Danube. Source: COLD study

INtegration in the intermodal goods Transport of non EU states: Rail, Inland/coastal waterway Modes

interim Current situation of container transport II

•

There are many reasons for the decline in container shipments on the Danube.

•

The massive impediments by the two crises in former Yugoslavia must be mentioned, and the nautical and economic difficulties for inland navigation in the western direction (long transport times to ARA-ports passing through more than 60 locks as well as very competitive shuttle train connections).

•

In contrast to the Rhine, the development of container inland navigation was not bolstered by sea ports, i.e., the transport of overseas containers in the hinterland as the basis for scheduled services was lacking.

interim 4. Conclusion I

• Today, bulk cargo is dominating the Danube river and its transport flows, transport operators and services • Pure container liner services on Danube are primarily operating on Lower and Middle Danube • Few intermodal Danube liner operators work on the Upper Danube • Essential need for new intermodal (container) Danube liner services on the Upper Danube towards SEEC and the Black sea region (towards overseas)
