Georgia, Tbilisi
General Information
A Motorway of the Sea (MoS) is a door-to-door intermodal freight transport chain using a maritime segment with sea-land (rail, road and possibly inland waterway) connections and interfaces.
The aim of this project is to increase modal shift or cohesion by means of traffic concentration on sea-based routes in improving existing maritime links or establishing new viable, regular and frequent maritime links.
Project history The Project was launched in January 2009 with the objective to
facilitate trade and transport along the corridor Europe – Black Sea Region – Caucasus – Central Asia
(TRACECA).
More specifically, the
Project is to promote the "Motorways of the Sea" concept
.
2 MOS Pilot Projects of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea
Outputs of TRACECA MoS I Project/Extract from ToR
Four main outputs will have to be achieved within the project duration:
1. Extensive review and analysis of transport systems in beneficiary countries (“pre-MoS” conditions in beneficiary countries and in other Black Sea/ Regional countries) 2. Awareness rising to promote economic potential of intermodal logistics chain (case demonstrations, exchange of best practices, training) and related recommendations.
3. Short and Medium term Road Map: Pilot projects to be identified and selected with beneficiary countries : • according to MoS standards and conditions • based on transport policies and market requirements 4. Pre-feasibility or feasibility studies for selected projects: • impact assessment (socio-economic, environmental, market benefits, obstacles, solutions, national and regional dimension) • coordination with international financing institutions • promotion/ communication 3 MOS Pilot Projects of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea

MoS Pilot Projects
In the scope of the Motorways of the Sea for the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea the following Feasibility studies of Pilot projects were developed:
POTI – BAKU Container Block Train
VARNA – ILYICHEVSK – POTI
ILYICHEVSK-SAMSUN-POTI
5 MOS Pilot Projects of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea
Pilot Project POTI – BAKU Container Block Train
Pilot-project key objective:
Interconnecting Black Sea and Caspian Sea with Block train service.
In general, block trains are preferred to containerized conventional freight trains because of:
attractive tariffs prompt delivery of goods from the original station to the destination station safety easy border crossing and customs procedures environment–friendly transportation high level communication system.

Investment Needs
Lack of fitting platforms for container transportation 100 fitting platform (with capacity of three TEU) for three block train is needed for the successful implementation of Container train project.
The Cost of the one fitting: 80 000 USD
Lack of LPG Tank container 100 of each or by combination for Georgian R/W, due to planned construction of LPG (LNG) terminals in Aktau port, Constansa and Batumi ports.
Today Georgia have capacity of 3000 MT storage in Batumi port (Terminal 1)
The Cost of one 20 t LPG tank container is about 35 000-40 000 USD

Investment Needs
The Varna-Ilyichevsk-(Kerch)-Poti-Batumi pilot project implies: five (5) (container handling) toploaders (1 per vessel) are purchased and placed all at once on board of the vessels
In this respect it is suggested to consider “Mobicon Flexible Container Handling System”.
about 150-200 rail wagons of 918 type owned by Georgian railways and/or Ukrzalisnytsia are modernized and put in operation at the rate of 10 units per month,
Indicative cost of the project - 2.000.000 euro

Possible framework of new TRACECA MoS II project
The possibility of creating a circular shipping container line on the Black Sea is in process, using the Lo-Lo vessel which may offer cheaper port disbursement costs than railferry and cheaper transportation costs as a result; It is suggested to establish a Lo-Lo/pax circular container line on the following route: Constanta-Ilyichevsk/Odessa-Poti/Batumi-Istanbul/Derinje; 28 MOS Pilot Projects of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea
Legal Environment in Georgia
The World Bank 2010 “Doing Business Report” upgraded the Country rank 45 to rank 11.
The Georgian Maritime Administration cooperates with a number of international organizations (IMO, BS MoU, NATO PBOS, BSPA, Istanbul Commission, IACS etc.) Port Public Private partnerships were concluded in 2007 – 2008; Legal instruments regulate trade transport.

Conclusion
The Presentation demonstrates the key features of the TRACECA MoS project makes clear for evaluators the basic information about the need of such new alternative routes and the chances to make real this project; The project will support the efficient interoperability and further development of logistic processes between EU Countries, Caucasus and middle Asia countries; The project will improve the trade relationships and multimodal transport system. The Service in TRACECA corridor will be more competitive in which will have direct effects to trade and transport development in Black Sea and Caspian sea Region.
