Railway in Poland: Polish freight market results in Q1-Q3 2006
According to the data collected by Rynek Kolejowy and Railway Market - CEE Review the rail transport volumes in Q1-Q3 of 2006 are better in comparison to the analogical period in 2005.
The December issue of Rynek Kolejowy focuses around the topic of providing rail passenger and freight services in Poland. In Rynek Kolejowy you will find all the necessary info about the companies providing rail transport services on 1435mm tracks.
Currently in Poland the number of licences for providing rail transport services reached 80. Still the number of companies actually being rail operators circulates around 25. And what is interesting, more and more companies express their interest in possessing the operating licence, even though the Office for Rail Transport threatens to take the licences away from those who aren’t using it.
Polish rail market is being scanned by foreign companies like Freightliner, who . Also several everal successful private Polish operators already applied for passenger licences and even organised pilot runs of passenger trains under their logo.
In October 2006 PTKiGK Rybnik organised a trial reactivation of Silesia – Podbeskidzie connection. The train consisted of 1st class passenger cars provided by PKP Intercity hauled by Siemens 1822 two system locomotive.
PCC Rail organised two pilot runs of passenger trains. For the first time it was in January when the company rented a rail bus and made a 330 km tour over the network supervised by private Silesia companies. In September 2006 PCC Rail made a run of ET21 passenger locomotive hauling two passenger cars from Wrocław to Brzeg. PCC is currently competing with PKP Regional Services in the tender for providing passenger services on te route Bytom – Gliwice.
The analysis of the increasing number of licences is bringing experts to a conclusion that the Polish Railway Market is getting better. Operators complain that they had to cut their prices by 10% to survive in the business. PKP Cargo complains that the current transport policy in Poland does not support competition between different modes of transport, railways are loosing their business and the only thing that changes is the name of the company on the locomotive.
But according to the data collected by Rynek Kolejowy the transport volumes in Q1-Q3 of 2006 are better in comparison to the analogical period in 2005.
The current increase of transport volumes by rail is directly related to the economic growth Poland is witnessing, partly due to the prolonged autumn time. The trend is not of permanent nature (in 2005 the mass of loads in freight fell by 4.4m tonnes).
In 2006 the number of tonnes carried increased by 8%. PKP Cargo noticed 0.5% increase and still cannot dinamise its performance. Private operators managed to keep up the good results and currently have 16.33% share in the market in tone kilometers.
In total rail freight carriers lifted 213.57m tonnes, 107.87% in comparison to the same period of 2005, 107.33% tone-kilometres in comparison to the same period of 2005).
After three quarters of 2006 the leaders among private operators are:
CTL Logistics - 34,4% (share in the performance of private operators).
PCC Rail Szczakowa - 15,5%
PTKiGK Zabrze - 12,7%
Lotos Kolej - 11,6%
PTKiGK Rybnik - 9,1%.
Passenger operators carried 196.23m passengers, which is almost 4% more than in Q1-Q3 2005. All operators, besides the debt driven PKP Regional Services, noted passenger number increase.
