Rail Utilization Drivers Infrastructure,Motive Power, Crews and Operating Strategies
14
RAILROAD Association of South Africa Infrastructure challenges 1. State of Disrepair a.Too many national standards b.Lack of finance co-operation model c.Skill sets are few and scattered 2. Gauge and other Barriers a. Corridor -cape gauge b.New mine to Port Standard gauge c. lack of facility, equipment, standardization e.g loading units
15
RAILROAD Association of South Africa Motive Power challenges 1. State of Disrepair a.Too many in disrepair b.Lack of finance co-operation model c.Skill sets are few and scattered d. fuel efficiency 2. Tools and Axle Loads a. Gauge unable to take heavy locos b. New Locos >20 tons for new lines c. Upgrade or design light loco
16
RAILROAD Association of South Africa 3.Infrastructure Barriers a. Suitability of interchange terminals b. Rail gauges c. Capacity of Terminals d. Limited access roads to terminals e. Standardized layout of facilities f. Non standard rail track equipment 4. Operational, Logistical & service related a. lack of transparency in supply chain. b. limited flexibility for short term orders (Rail) c. Rail priority on mixed lines given to pax. d. lack of intermodal integration ( Inventory)
17
RAILROAD Association of South Africa 5.F inancial & Economic Barriers a. Expensive intermodal equipment b. Cost of terminals c.High pre and end haulage cost d. Cost effective warehousing 6.Political Barriers a. Harmonized cross border conditions b. National pricing c. Processing procedures
18
RAILROAD Association of South Africa The Corridor Operating Plan a. National must be Corridor b. Common standard training c. Single skilled – must be multi Skilled d. fuel efficiency Operating a. Seamless corridor b. Shared Control centers c. Similar Control Systems c. Highest Standard For Safety
19
RAILROAD Association of South Africa Actions to Best Solutions 1. Id e ntify past, present and future constraints. 2. Investigate the market needs to design capacity requirements. 3.Locate best locations for Intermodal terminals 4.Rationalise layout and design based on Common requirements and standards. 5.Improve road access to inland and sea Point. 6. Re-visit priority rules for Rail.
20
RAILROAD Association of South Africa 7. Benchmark Global practises. 8.Revisit Infrastructure gauge, equipment & services 9.Optimise efficiency of existing infrastructure. 10. Incentives to be provided for intermodal shift to Most suitable mode. 11.Improve data collection and easy of doing business 12. Implement regional policies based on corridors 13.Avoid duplication and contradicting projects. 14.Complete the North-South & East- West missing links. Reduce the Cost of Logistics
21
RAILROAD Association of South Africa KEY EXTERNALITIES 1.Infrastructure Costs- both capital and maintenace 2.Enviromental impact-CO2 3.Congestion costs 4.Safety and Security Best Energy Usage = Rail.
