© ÖIR p. 8 Transport Prognosis

© ÖIR p. 9 Introduction

© ÖIR p. 10 Trade Prognosis Trade Growth: Eastern Europe catches up The European integration makes trade growth stronger than GDP (2 - 4% p.a.) Growth in West and Central Europa relations continues High growth with East Europe and Black Sea Region

© ÖIR p. 11 Trade Prognosis Change of commodity structure High value A and B commodities leading Low value C commodities (coal, ores) with a modest development

© ÖIR p. 12 Commodities

© ÖIR p. 13 Trade Prognosis Growth by imports/exports shows direction of trade flow growth East to West direction: higher growth Smaller basis in tons, in year 2000 at Austrian East border 1,9 times more tons were transported from East to West as from West to East)

© ÖIR p. 14 Transport Prognosis

© ÖIR p. 15 Recent transport development

© ÖIR p. 16 Transport markets Transport Volume on River Danube Waterway (year 2000)

© ÖIR p. 17 Transport Prognosis: Results Transport volume by modes Export, Import, Transit - Bavaria and Austria

© ÖIR p. 18 Transport Prognosis: Results Growth rates + Road transport ahead: consequences of liberalised transport markets and shortcomings (infrastructure, funding, transport policies) + modest Growth of Danube Waterway Transports without ALSO solutions

© ÖIR p. 19 Scenarios of Transport Prognosis

© ÖIR p. 20 ALSO Economic Impacts

© ÖIR p. 21 Transport Prognosis: Results ALSO solutions: The Danube gains additional 6 million tons

© ÖIR p. 22 Transport prognosis: impacts

© ÖIR p. 23 Impacts on Road Traffic

© ÖIR p. 24 Impacts on Road Traffic

© ÖIR p. 25 An Example: Impact matrix of CSL.IP

© ÖIR p. 26 Impacts on Society and Environment Calamity abatement on waterway reduces accidents and follow-up consequences Hazardous Goods monitoring Energy saving by more regular driving modus Modal Shift from road to inland navigation reduces global and local emissions NOx reduction (-3 to -4% in Corridor) noise reduction - most important in densely populated urban areas global effects (CO2 reduction) Direct impacts Indirect impacts

© ÖIR p. 27 Impact on Workforce Crew on board: in the framework of a growing workload, ALSO provides assistance and relief to human operator, secures proper reaction to emergency situations Additional labour force Creation of additional labour in follow-up services: ports handling, stevedoring, national control centres, system suppliers Crew on board: minimum number regulated Education and training needs Crew: Cargo and transport management, voyage planning, navigation and calamity abatement Improved working conditions

© ÖIR p. 28 Regional Econmic Impacts Type of regional economic effects Effects from Investment in ALSO logistic solutions Operation of ALSO logistic solutions Tangible direct effects (Anlagen) system implementation, hard- and software, shipbuilding (?) transport time transport cost logistic cost reduction of environmental risk service quality transport safety education and training effects on industrial location (accessibility, competitive transport market) Intangible direct effects (immateriell) effects derived from modal shift (economy, ecology) multiplier effects Indirect effects (2 nd round)

© ÖIR p. 29 Regional Economic Impacts  Modest due to low overall size of investment RIS along Upper Danube: 11 million EUR (administration) private operators: 10 million EUR Indirect Effects  Indirect effects are considerable: ALSO improves the competitiveness of inland navigation versus road transport the competitiveness of industry - thus safeguarding industrial locations (steel) reduction of external cost Direct Effects
