Esteemed company,
Železnice Slovenskej republiky Bratislava (hereinafter referred to as “ŽSR“) within the Operational Programme Transport 2007-2013, Priority axis no. 3 – Intermodal transport infrastructure, implemented the construction: “ŽSR Intermodal Transport Terminal Žilina, Construction stage 1“.
The terminal is situated in the district of Žilina, in the cadastral territory of the municipality Teplička nad Váhom, in the vicinity of the Žilina Dam and in the precinct of Žilina – Teplička marshalling yard. The terminal is connected to rail and road infrastructure. The Intermodal Transport Terminal Žilina is designed to ensure the most effective unloading, loading, transhipment and storage of intermodal loading units (hereinafter referred to as “ILU“). The terminal features two 750 m handling tracks under cranes and two gantry cranes with carrying capacity 46 tonnes. Length of crane runway is 750 m.
Truck DAF CF85 DUO is available, which enables a swift change in deployment for road and rail operations (road/rail vehicle). In winter period it can be used for snow shovelling and in the summer period for sweeping and cleaning of storage and handling areas and premises.
The terminal allows storage of ILUs over the area of 10,000 m2. The area is all within a reach of gantry cranes.The terminal areas are arranged to allow parking for 20 trucks on entry to the terminal, 21 trucks on exit from the terminal, 22 parking slots for passenger vehicles before the entrance to the terminal and area for placement of swap bodies.
There are 35 electric sockets available for connection of ILUs to thermoregulation. Spaces for ILUs storage are located directly under the gantry cranes. Stacking of ILUs under the cranes is possible at maximum in three layers.
The area comprise an office building which serves as traffic control on inbound and outbound from the terminal, and provides control of container terminal. The building features premises to be used by truck drivers. Effective control of unloading, loading, storage and monitoring the economy of operation of the terminal is ensured by IS KONTI information system.The area is fenced, lighted with lighting towers and secured with CCTV camera system.
The terminal is in the ownership of the Slovak Republic and in the administration of Železnice Slovenskej republiky Bratislava with registered seat at Klemensova 8, 813 61 Bratislava, Reg.no. 31364501 incorporated in the Business Register of District Court Bratislava I, Section: Po, Insert no.: 312/B.
On 17 July 2013 the European Commission (hereinafter referred to as “EC“) published Commission Decision on measure/aid scheme/State aid SA.34369 (13/C), which the Slovak Republic is planning to implement.
EC decision stipulated that:
- the terminal will be publicly accessible intermodal transport terminal,
- the terminal will remain in the ownership of the State. The national railway infrastructure manager, ŽSR will execute the ownership rights for the State. In particular, ŽSR will be tasked with collecting the concession fees from the operator of the terminal,
- the operation of the terminal will be contracted out for a period of 30 years to an operator selected on the basis of a non-discriminatory and transparent tendering procedure. So as to ensure non-discriminatory access to the terminal and to prevent a conflict of interests arising between the selected terminal operator and the transport undertakings, the operator of the terminal may not be a transport undertaking using the terminal, so as not to compete with the transport undertakings and combined transport operators which will be making use of the terminal. If the selected operator fails to fulfil the conditions agreed to under the concession agreement, the State may withdraw the concession and put it out to tender again.
- the beneficiary of the measure is the operator of the terminal, since it will benefit from an infrastructure for which it will pay concession fees that cover only a minor part of the total construction costs of the terminal.
- the distortion of competition is minimalised by the condition that the operator of the new terminals will have to pay 15 % of the total investment costs in the form of concession fees, while the prices for its services will be regulated and controlled.
