The problem of increasing the transportation capacity of the railway actively discussed within the framework of the 8th Annual Summit "Coal Russia and the CIS in 2013."
East port increases its coal processing
Panel members, including the leaders of the leading coal producers, consumers of coal products, stevedoring business representatives and researchers of the coal market have come to the conclusion that the lack of development of transport infrastructure is one of the main constraints to the development of the coal industry.
"The pace of increase in rail capacity will not keep pace with the growth of the economy" - a forecast for the coming years in the framework of the summit gave Vladimir Savchuk, research director of the Institute of Railway Transport of Natural Monopolies (IPEM). According to the expert of the Russian Federation transport strategy up to 2030 involves "living within our means," because instead of the required 4000 kilometers of rail lines planned construction of 500 kilometers, the strategy focuses on the development of passenger transport.
Transportation, in terms of revenue, has always been more beneficial to the state treasury. The volume of traffic revenue for export today is 2 times higher than the income from the domestic market. The development of the railway infrastructure and the "grouting" so-called "bottleneck" is necessary to increase the export flows of Russian coal. This is confirmed by the port operators. Managing Director of "East Port," said the construction of a new terminal at Primorsky Krai . Its implementation company started in 2012. And already in 2019 the turnover of the company will reach 35 million tons.
"Existing in the eastern port projects operating in the stevedores, given the terminal under construction - the third stage of the Coal complex of" East Port ", will provide a full load of Nakhodka East with the 2nd District sorting Park.
It will be built in the framework of the Federal Target Program "Modernization of transport system of Russia", calculated for the period from 2010 to 2015.
This is not the only problem faced by maritime operators. According to the director of operations of "Rosterminalugol" Arthur Sedov information base Railways does not meet the requirements of modern cargo handling terminals. Stevedoring companies often receive information on suitable formulations of shippers. Such information may reduce the time of shipment for export.
According to the participants of the summit, the implementation of national programs for the development of transport infrastructure slowed down due to lack of development of the modalities of financing - VestiRegion.ru reported the press service of "East Port."
