CREAM Project
Project objectives
 Achieve competitive rail freight and intermodal rail/road
services on CREAM corridor by:
 Catching new freight markets such as temperature-controlled
cargo for intermodal services by applying innovate technology
 Improving border crossing processes and enabling
interoperable operations
 Developing quality management system(s)
 Enhancing data exchange and information flow
 Implementing efficient and customer-oriented rail operation
schemes such as gateway/hub systems
 Upgrade intermodal terminals and management

Intermodal Traffic In Germany
Why doubled intermodal traffic volume?
 Domestic traffic in Germany: implementation of block train
systems shifting responsibility for service profiling and
economic risks from railways to intermodal operators
 International traffic: extension of block train systems to
virtually all corridors:




Catching new European markets
Faster, road-competitive services
Cost-effective rail production: shuttle and gateway services
Synchronized time-schedules
 Multiple daily departures
 Building European networks
 Improvement in rail infrastructure: loading gauge etc.

Chart 6
Intermodal Traffic In Germany
Why doubled intermodal traffic volume?
 Competition on rail traction services on domestic network
since 2000, and on important international lanes such as the
Brenner as of 2001:
 Cost control
 Service quality improvement
 Competition on intermodal operator level:
 Innovations in services, technologies and business models
 Tapping new freight market potentials
 Booming economy
 Growth of global container flows

Chart 7
Intermodal Traffic In Germany
Why doubled intermodal traffic volume?
 EU enlargement driving especially marine container traffic
 Improved cost competitiveness with road:
 Fuel cost increase
 Saturated truck capacities
 Limitations on truck drivers
 Restrictions on truck drivers’ working hours
 Massive enlargement of intermodal terminal capacities
(not only) in Germany

Since 1998 the overwhelming majority of investments has
been implemented under the FKV funding regime.

Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals
General information on Directive “FKV”
 First coming into effect: March 1998
 Currently, the 4th edition is being applied due to expire on
31 Dec 2011.
 Prerequisites for every renewal:
 Evaluation study (carried out by Hacon and KombiConsult)
 Notification by European Commission
 Germany is committed to promoting intermodal traffic only
through the funding of the construction of terminals. There
are no other instruments such as operational subsidies;
discounts on fuel or infrastructure access fees; funding of
intermodal equipment or information technology.

Chart 10
Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals
Principles of funding
 Eligible beneficiaries: only private companies
 Terminal categories: rail/road; barge/road; trimodal facilities
 Measures: new terminals and enlargement measures
 Purpose: ensuring handling rate in line with market
 What’s funded: all items and facilities required for enabling
the transhipment of intermodal units.
 Max. funding rate: 85% of eligible costs

Chart 11
Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals
Principles of funding
 Prerequisites for funding:




Private capital doesn’t ensure viability (10y business plan)
Ensuring non-discriminatory access (public terminal)
No cannibalization of existing terminals, also cross-border
Public tendering of terminal management (investor may not hold
more than 50% of shares of operating company)
 Public tendering of all investments
 Bank guarantee corresponding to funding amount
 Commitment to operate facility for 10/20 years
 Procedure:
 Application at any time (no call!)
 Formal application to federal authorities
