At the Far Eastern railway situation worsened with the trucks - as of August 29 addressed to the ports of Primorye and Khabarovsk Krai idle 72 freight trains, the report said Branch Railways - Far Eastern.
The situation began to get complicated in the second quarter of 2009, when the volume of traffic has increased dramatically in the direction of the port areas of the Far East. The main goods are unloaded from a problem, are coal, petroleum, metal - only about 4500 cars. In the address of the Vladivostok Commercial Port awaiting unloading of 1,272 cars with metal, crab - 909 cars with oil, Pos'eta - 600 cars of coal. Dynamics remains negative.
The main cause of this problem is the unwillingness of the infrastructure of coastal ports receive and process sharply increased flow of goods from the Far East and other regions of the country, the statement says. In the ports there is a shortage of working staff and a severe shortage of crane capacity for receiving and handling. In addition, there are problems with documentation during unloading of rolling stock owned by various transport companies and the empty return. The consequence is an increase in time spent for unloading of wagons, reduced productivity of rolling stock, a sharp decrease in the total volume of discharge to the harbor stations. When you save this situation, OAO RZD will be forced to take unpopular measures - to introduce a ban on conventional cargo transportation by main nomenclatures.
An important factor is the technological and infrastructural gaps between the levels of development of rail and port facilities. Since the founding of JSC RZD in the Far East conducted a targeted investment policy, special importance being given to increase the capacity of railway stations in the direction of port areas and integrated production and transportation hubs. During this time, increase capacity at the Port number of sites developed and applied technology pass-through (without separation) driving freight trains weighing 6300 tons, upgraded locomotives. Today, the Far Eastern Railway is able to fully provide the necessary needs of the domestic economy for the freight volume in compliance with all quality indicators. At the same time, the infrastructure and technical level of all ports in the Far East region remains at the same level.
Guidelines Far Eastern Railways every effort to avoid the introduction of the Convention's prohibitions: seven port stations to increase the amount of discharge into operation additional shunting locomotives are regularly held workshops and meetings with the management of ports, where the options are processed to eliminate freight congestion. To improve control of Khabarovsk in a number of ports off the heads of the road, reported the office of Public Relations Far Eastern.
