At the end of March, CMA-CGM followed in the footsteps of the two other P3 members by confirming the long-expected upgrade of six new buildings to 18,000 teu. Maersk had previously ordered 20 Triple-E class vessels with a similar capacity, of which seven have already been delivered.
One of the most noticeable projects of the last few years is the Marmay tunnel under the Bosphorus.
But the Turkish railway system wasn’t always so innovative. When Süleyman Karaman, current President and Director General of TCDD, took up his post, the sector was deep in crisis. In his interview Mr Karaman talks about his experience and further ambitious infrastructure projects.
If we talk about railway system in general not years, but decades matters here. Work should be done in advance and global projects should be started now to have reliable transportation in the future. Christian Kern, CEO of Austrian Federal Railways, talks about priorities and the road to success.
It’s always a challenge for a foreigner to start a business in Russia.
Alexander Rogan, CEO at Russia Supply Chain, shares his opinion about common fears, and how the current political situation can influence the market.
Russian Railways have their own digital communication network and specialised IT systems. This allows combining space and terrestrial computer technologies to achieve a wide range of objectives. Simultaneously, the strategic directions of RZD’s data streams are closely connected with the federal programme of the development
of the GLONASS/GPS navigation systems.
The North Siberian Railway (Sevsib) is a projected railway line, with a length of about 2000 km. It should connect the railway
of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area - Yugra with the Baikal-Amur Mainline. But this project requires major investment, not only from RZD.
Last summer, it became known that the total investment in the development of the BAM and the Transsib till 2018 would amount to RUB 562 billion.
Of that, RUB 300 billion can be attracted through the investment programme of RZD, and RUB 260 billion must be found from public sources.
Why is this project so important now?
Regular piggyback transportation via the Russian-Finnish border has not been launched yet, but the experiment showed that such transportation can be profitable from the viewpoint of the state, because it will reduce the burden on motorways linking the two countries and provide cargo owners with services of higher quality.
The system of international border crossings has been dynamically developing for two years, new projects are being carried out in all spheres of transport. In particular, railways are working to improve border crossing procedures.
Agreement on the inclusion of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol into Russia will influence not only transportation processes on the peninsula, but the future of transport communication with Ukraine. Despite businessmen’s fears about the possible collapse of interstate rail transportation, the facts show that it is likely to continue after some adjustment, because it is profitable both for Russia and Ukraine.
