ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT

The reporting phase encompasses the first six months of the project implementation from late April 2011 till November 2011. Continuation of stakeholder dialogue and ownership driven implementation were pointed out as a basis for future assignment. The coordination with the European Commission took part throughout the overall project implementation. The project had a dynamic start on 27 April 2011 to ensure a proper follow up and continuity of the previous technical assistance projects on logistics centres and motorways of the sea. The key expert team took over the outputs of the MoS I project, at their final event for the Black Sea in Brussels on 28 April 2011. The kickoff meeting at European Commission was held Brussels on 29 April 2011. The office in Kiev was made operational after the start of the project in the beginning of May 2011. The key experts were mobilised on site after the meetings in Brussels. The core team of short-term experts was gradually mobilised. The project moved its activities from West to the East during the first progress reporting period. All countries of TRACECA were approached during either in missions, or at regional events and TRACECA meetings. The PS was involved in coordination work. The project synopsis was approved by the EC on 18 May 2011. The document streamlined the assignment for LOGMOS to fit it to current situation based on the TOR. The approved version was distributed to beneficiaries and the stakeholders. The EU Delegations in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan were informed. The EU Delegation in Ukraine was involved in project registration process. Several regional events and missions to eight out of ten were carried out in the first six months of the project (See Annexes 2 List of Meeting of the Inception and Progress reports I). Team Leader reported on all project activities on a monthly basis to the Project Manager at DEVCO.

3.1

Relevant Project Context

The LOGMOS project is a follow up of three previous TRACECA interlinked projects: Motorways of the Seas in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and International Logistic Centres in the Western NIS and the Caucasus and for Central Asia. These projects identified five MoS pilotprojects and eleven logistics centres approved by the beneficiaries. The previously identified pilot projects vary in terms of scope, relevance for TRACECA corridor, degree of maturity or promotional support in the beneficiary countries. The LOGMOS is to follow-up these pilot projects in terms of updating priorities for project implementation. In the reporting period the project team has identified, discussed and revised action plans for each of the pilot initiatives. The action plans are deemed to be stakeholder owned and serve as a framework for implementation. The dedicated working groups and task forces were formed to implement the action plans. During the reporting period the LOGMOS team started to develop country profiles for all of the beneficiary countries, summarising the current status of the transport sector, transport flows relevant to the project, the process of legal reforms in this sector and existing bottlenecks as a basis for further project activities. The pilot projects may be reassessed and combined with each other in case this increases their efficiency, improves attractiveness for investors or eliminates a missing corridor link. The LOGMOS team encouraged the countries to submit their proposals in logistics and multimodal sectors for evaluation till April 2012 in view of defining the new pilot projects. The

assessment will be organised by means of Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) at regional and project levels. The individual projects should contribute to the cohesion of the TRACECA network and hinterland connections needed for optimisation of cargo flows. The MCA will take into account in the provisions of the TEN-T policy review. The LOGMOS TOR charges the project with development of the comprehensive TRACECA motorways of the sea master plan in accordance with the term of reference. The analysis of the beneficiary countries however revealed necessity to include hinterland connections and nodal hubs of landlocked countries in the master plan. Therefore, a LOGMOS master plan is proposed to include both maritime and logistics dimensions.

3.2

Implementation approach

The implementation approach is based on defined activities and implementation phases. Activities have been designed for each defined project result area. Each main activity includes a number of related tasks (1A-1D, 2A-2B, 3A-3C and 4A-4C + 5) which were streamlined in consultations with the beneficiaries and the European Commission. The result of the work program is indicated in the approved project synopsis. In this process the current project context has been analysed taking into account recent developments in the beneficiary countries and the EU TEN-T policy review with an objective to target technical assistance to the beneficiary needs. This process has been implemented in coordination with TRACECA counterparts The tasks which basically lead to achievement of the common performance indicators were streamlined and consolidated. The overall approach is schematically presented in the figure below. Figure 1: Project Approach

3.3

Additional tasks and deviations

For the activities of the Component 1: Implementation of the Motorways of the Sea and Component 2: Development and promotion of the concept of regional networks of Logistics

Progress Report I

Page 15 of 68

Logistics Processes and Motorways of the Sea ll

Centres the project team proposed to tackle the achievement of the respective goals through existing and future pilot projects adding their hinterland dimensions. For Component 3 dealing with MoS master plan, the project team proposed to develop a LOGMOS Master Plan in line with directions on the TEN-T policy review applicable for TRACECA. This allows to include the landlocked countries of TRACECA in both core and comprehensive networks capitalising on their hinterland potential. Thus, expanding the MoS master plan to landlocked countries under the LOGMOS umbrella constitutes an additional domain of activities for achievement of result 3. The terms of reference include a Component 4 on national and regional regulatory reforms in the maritime and intermodal sectors. The implementation of this component implies consideration of several factors: First, currently in TRACECA these issues are addressed by various initiatives of national governments, membership in dedicated international organisations like IMO, IRU, IRF, UIC, OSZD or dedicated projects of EU under twinning or national programmes. Donor institutions and international organisations (e.g. UNECE, WCO) promote these issues using their regional mandate. Second, several previous EU TRACECA projects were developing recommendations in this respect. Their implementation is still on-going and put onto the agenda of TRACECA and individual governments. Third, the recommendations on legal basis related to maritime and intermodal sector may require the changes in the national legislation. This process requires a mandate for law making initiative, and is associated with a lengthy process related to law drafting and negotiation with stakeholders involved. At the same time an intensive follow up and promotion of such initiatives is needed, and has to be organised in each beneficiary country concerned.

Adapting similar global approach under into the project mandate will lead to distortion of limited resources. The achievement of tangible results on global issues seems unrealistic during three year of implementation. Therefore, the practical approach of addressing implementable issues on maritime and intermodal issues was opted for. Namely, the project team proposed to address legal change within respective action plans involving task forces of each project. The specific steps and recommendations that do not require the change in primary legislation will be identified and their implementation will be promoted. This component will be implemented as technical assistance to stakeholders to remove specific hindrances to trade related to each pilot project. The pilot project task forces will act as regional trade facilitation working groups given the cross-border nature of MoS and Logistics projects. The overall process will be implemented with the involvement of PS IGC TRACECA. In addition, the project will cooperate with major trade facilitation organisations active in TRACECA region on similar issues to organise information exchange, involve them in the working groups and training measures. The contractor will work closely with the PS on this subject. The overall approach of project implementation will follow the principles of interactive participation of stakeholders and ownership over implementation of the action plans. Progress will be measured in accordance with key performance indications identified and set by the task forces in the framework of action plans. The project team put emphasis on Component 5 Communication, Visibility and Information as a tool to reach the technical results. All events of the project are devoted to specific technical components. Beyond the Progress reports issued every 6 months, the results

Page 16 of 68

Progress Report I

Logistics Processes and Motorways of the Sea ll

of day-to-day work of the project (Newsletters, Updated Action plans, Country profiles and Conclusions of Regional meetings) will be published in the LOGMOS section of the TRACECA web page. In addition, several supplementary tasks mandated to the project team upon the request of the beneficiaries and identified in the inception phase are listed below: 1. Preparation of the MCA analysis based on the updated EU TEN-T policy review criteria relevant to TRACECA. 2. Extended presentation of the MoS Master Plan as a LOGMOS master plan to allow for inclusion of landlocked counties connections. 3. Collection of trade and transport data for 2010 for the master plan preparation. As of October 2011 the TRACECA database contained data only for 2008 and partly 2009. 4. Co-financing of the PS meetings and PS operative costs from the incidental budget of the LOGMOS team that were not foreseen under the contract of the LOGMOS project. 5. Specific proposals addressed by the beneficiaries and approved by the European Commission as additional tasks of the team. In the inception phase these included supplementary tasks on design and cost estimation of the transport access to the ILC in Yerevan to allow for complete project presentation at the TRACECA investment forum, following the inclusion of this project into the priority programme; and elaboration of specific recommendations on overcoming problems faced by Armenia as a landlocked country. In order to fulfil the principles of targeted and responsive technical assistance, following the approval of the European Commission, additional inputs and budgets for implementation of newly emerged tasks will be determined. At the future stages of the contract implementation, the Contractor shall discuss with the EC and apply for compensation of these resources diverted to additional tasks following the established addendum procedure.

3.4

Cooperation with the TRACECA, EU Projects and sectoral stakeholders

The important local stakeholders for LOGMOS project are the National Secretaries in each direct and indirect beneficiary country and the PS. The project team perceives TRACECA structures as its main agents and partners to promote the LOGMOS tasks and activities. The project partners are the donor community, logistics platforms, promoters of similar initiatives in the regions, as well as other EU projects. Representatives of IFIs and private and international companies have been approached and invited to the first regional seminar. Cooperation has also been established with relevant EU financed projects at regional and national level. They include: "Transport dialogue and networks interoperability between the EU and its neighbouring countries and Central Asian countries" "Development of security management and maritime safety and ship pollution prevention for the Black Sea and Caspian Sea" "Support to the integration of Ukraine in the Trans European Network TEN T "Ukraine port development feasibility study All TRACECA stakeholders have been informed about the start of the project. Several Bilateral meetings were held with NS or their representatives. All beneficiary countries and the SG of PS IGC TRACECA has been regularly informed about the projects activities. The project team organised the work with TRACECA counterparts and stakeholders:

PROJECT PLANNING Introduction

The overall plan of operation is presented in Table 1 of the present report. The quick start and intensive follow up helped assure a smooth continuity of activities between the former ILC and MoS projects and the LOGMOS project. The plan of operations was adjusted to current requirements of the beneficiaries to allow for a certain degree of flexibility in delivery of the technical assistance in line with the TOR. Any activities that result in deviations or supplementary tasks were and will be provided for consideration of the European Commission to define a modus operandi. The project will be implemented in three years with six month sequence of reporting. The reports will reflect major milestones achieved by the project. Some technical components of the projects are implemented in parallel from the beginning of the project. This includes a follow-up to Component 1 dealing with MoS projects and Component 2 on ILCs. With growing maturity and implementation of the most promising pilot projects, and with identification of new initiatives on the missing links in the second year of implementation, the project team will proceed with the LOGMOS master plan envisaged under Component 3. The technical assistance for regulatory changes will be in the project teams focus in the second reporting phase, once the relevant country profiles are updated and action plans are agreed. Component 5 will accompany all technical work packages of the LOGMOS project. Tentatively the project is split into three phases corresponding to each year of implementation.

Georgia

1: Pilot projects

In order follow up the previous meetings, a Team Leader mission was conducted to Georgia in August 2011 to discuss further action of the beneficiary and of the LOGMOS project concerning the identified projects in Georgia (ILC at the TAM/Veli site, Block container train BCT - Poti-Baku) and a possible combination of these two projects for the TIF 2012. During meetings the representatives of the beneficiary stated that the land use issue for the TAM land plot would be officially solved within the near future as a result of negotiations with the Ministry of Defence. At the Tbilisi seminar in October 2011, the representatives of the Ministry of Defence confirmed their positive attitude towards development of the ILC at their site. A tender is being prepared to find an operator for the TAM/Veli site. The draft ToR would be transmitted to the LOGMOS project for review and comment. At the same time, negotiation went on with Georgian railways concerning their participation in the project. An IPO was planned (for a minor share of Georgian Railways) for the end 2011 beginning 2012. The LOGMOS project confirmed its readiness to provide a CBA for the Block train Poti Baku and handed over a data request of the project for this purpose. In August 2011, Georgian railways Transcontainer (GRTC) initially expressed its readiness to cooperate with the LOGMOS project. Furthermore, GRTC expressed no objection position to consider in principle a relocation of its container handling operation in to Veli, market demand provided. In October 2011, GRTC explained the company would look at other facilities as well, and no committed position towards Veli could be confirmed. Thus, no confirmation concerning an operational combination of the proposed BCT and the ILC at TAM/Veli could be achieved. In addition, the decision on TAM / Veli is pending, according to the beneficiary in Georgia, till the end of the year. The provision of the clear position on the development of TAM / Veli plot till the end of November is essential to enable the project team prepare supportive documents for the TRACECA investment forum 2012.

SHORT INTRODUCTION OF THE COUNTRY PROFILES

During the reporting period the LOGMOS team started to elaborate country profiles for the 10 direct beneficiary countries. These documents are developing the Country Profiles, which have been initially prepared for TRACECA Motorways of the Sea for the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea project in order to support the preparation of MoS Pilot Projects. Now the Country Profiles are updated (or newly elaborated for the countries not covered by the MoS 1 project) to incorporate information about recent developments in multimodal transport along TRACECA routes, but also extended to incorporate logistical processes, which link MoS through inland transport modes to International Logistics Centers and other significant nodes and transport hubs. The country profiles will contain an overview of the national transport policy, the legal environment in the field of transport, the national policy and legislation in trade and transit and investment in the transport and logistics sectors. Further, strategic challenges for the transport sector are analyzed based on the development and structure of relevant national trade, export and import flows, including the proportion related to regional TRACECA transport flows. Existing infrastructure port systems, road and railway network, intermodal capabilities - are described on the background of their relevance to TRACECA regional trade and transit, including the current situation in the field of trade and transit facilitation (border crossing procedures, tariff policy, non-physical barriers). Bottlenecks of physical and non-physical nature are identified and a SWAT analysis of the transport sector is provided. Finally, the role and potential of the existing LOGMOS pilot projects is shown for the development of national and regional trade and transit. These country profiles will serve as a basis for the further work of the LOGMOS project on the LOGMOS master-plan for the TRACECA corridor, the development of proposals for the improvement of the legal environment for intermodal transport through the region. They give the national background for the work on the project-related Action plans. Draft Country profiles have been developed or are under consideration for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. For Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan the work will be started in the next reporting period. As part of the analysis shall rely on current traffic data, the publication of the Country profiles is being delayed due to the fact that the TRACECA data base can provide traffic data for 2008, only, and has not been updated as planned initially. The LOGMOS team will update the traffic data using its own resources in the coming weeks and refine the trade flow analysis accordingly. As soon as the draft Country profiles are updated, they will be transmitted to the TRACECA Permanent Secretariat and the respective TRACECA National secretaries for comment, discussion and approval. Finally, the Country profiles will be published in a dedicated area of the LOGMOS section at the TRACECA web page and updated regularly as new developments occur.

GENERAL PERSPECTIVE FOR EXPLOTING TRACECA INLAND WATERWAYS

The international importance of the Ukrainian inland waterways is attributed to such rivers as the Danube (Reni, Izmail and Ust-Dunaisk) and the Dnepr. While the potential of Danube is well covered by various technical studies as part of the greater Danube shipping market, the Dnepr role remains not so well investigated. The purpose of this report is to highlight the role of the Dnepr in the transport system of Ukraine in particular and for TRACECA in general taking into account the European experience and current trends in the region. On national level, the Dnepr River may play an important role in connecting the central part of the country including Kiev to the Black Sea. For TRACECA the inland waterways of Ukraine constitute a major part of its inland waterway network in the former CIS countries. The Dnepr is international inland waterway of category E open for call to foreign vessels. The factor allows Dnepr to contribute to improved distribution of traffic flows from the Central and Northern Europe via the Black Sea ports, provided adequate logistics infrastructure is developed and navigation conditions are improved, Dnepr may play a role in logistics chains connected to Danube, Black and Mediterranean seas. With lines to the Sea of Azov, the Don and the Volga-Don channel vessels may reach ports on the Volga as well as on Caspian and Baltic seas. The European experience demonstrates the following factors that need to be considered in view of successful development of the inland waterway potential: Reduction in Landside Transportation Costs: container river ports located upriver close to the hinterland markets have potential of gaining market share from those ports located at the coast. This trend is a result of shippers intention to minimize landside transport costs by choo sing ports located farther inland. Targeting in Modal Market Shares: Despite inland waterways are an absolutely vital part of the multi-modal system, specifically in the case of bulk/liquid commodities, the global trend is that they losing market share versus the road mode. Therefore, the inland waterway system should seek its place in international container and domestic intermodal markets by providing the services required by the supply chains. Container-on-barge Services are Viable: Container-on-barge services in Europe have become an essential link in the transport of containers between hinterland markets and coastal ports. This solution could be also considered for TRACECA as well, of course bearing in mind existing technical barriers along its waterways. This is also connected to the overall containerisation situation in TRACECA. Since container-on-barge services require significant existing or potential volumes of international maritime containers moving between the requisite international gateway port and inland regional markets. Reliable Scheduled Services: The conditions provided by waterway system should be regular, rapid and reliable. These include proper navigation, container facilities and manageable distances. The experience in Europe shows that frequency and level of service is the most important factor to for competing with road transport. Mode Shift Policies and Mechanisms: It is the policy of the European Union to affect a modal shift from trucks to rail and waterways. For instance such traditionally external costs emissions and traffic congestion were converted into market based subsidies designed to take traffic off the highways and on to the waterways. Policies, incentives and subsidies would be become an

important tool for development of the integral logistics in TRACECA, including utilisation of the inland waterway potential in the supply chains. Marketing, Linkage with Shippers, Carriers and Ports: Marketing measures promoting certain segments of the network may be useful in targeted relationships with shippers seeking reliable mode options. Innovations and Technology: The use, reliability and efficiency of the waterway system are enhanced through application of modern technologies and innovations. Certainly these lessons learned cannot be put in place overnight, but they provide a vision for exploiting potential of the inland waterway system, and sketch the steps need to be taken.

Logistics Processes and Motorways of the Sea II

Communication between vessels, directors of ports and locks is performed by means of obsolete radio equipment (VHF radios of the KAMA type). Maritime radio stations that are available on almost any vessel and that ensure much higher quality communication are not used. Passing of bridges with limiting dimensions (Dnepropetrovsk two-tier and Kremenchuk) involves vessel idleness and unreasonable expenditures of ship owners. It would be possible to change the financial structure of bridge lifting (including both ship owners and cargo owners who are interested in vessel passage like with ice dues) and develop more convenient and flexible schedule of lifts. Currently the schedule is compiled by the railway management at the beginning of the year for the year ahead (while it is hardly possible to compile a schedule for the year ahead for vessels). The cost of lifting of Dnepropetrovsk bridge ranges from 850 USD to 2500 USD (by request of railway management); Service of vessels in ports (discarding of oil-contaminated and waste water and garbage) in accordance with MARPOL requirements is virtually absent, there are no collector vessels (except for Dnepropetrovsk which still lacks facilities for elimination of waste); Compliance with provisions of the "Instruction on the procedures of collection and jettisoning of water load in water areas of internal river water routes of Ukraine No. 461" is impossible because of the absence of technical means.

Mandatory pilotage

Mandatory pilotage in the Black Sea basin in general and Dnepr-Bug estuary channel and Kherson seaway channel in particular is monopolized by the state enterprise "Delta-lotsman". Delays of vessels because of absence of free pilots are said to be frequent.

CONTAINER TRAFFIC POTENTIAL ON THE DNEPR

The Transport Strategy of Ukraine till Year 2020 sets implementation of a state programme of the development of inland waterways. This programme is described in detail in documents of the EU "Support to the Integration of Ukraine in the Trans-European Transport Network TEN-T". The programme sets the systemic packages of reforms and measures including: legislative reforms; administrative reforms; operating reforms; infrastructural reforms and human-resource provision. According to forecasts made by the TEN-T Project, the following indicators are attainable in case of the implementation of reforms (Table 1).

A potential market niche for the container traffic on the Dnepr is associated with cargo flows in the regions which could be shifted from landside transport to the river. The TEN-T project assessment suggest the river traffic share to attain the level of 411,800 TEU (including 188,800 TEU as imports and 223,000 TEU as exports), mainly via Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhe River Ports (Table 2).

EXISTING EXAMPLES OF CONCEPTS AND BUSINESS SOLUTIONS: Kherson

Location: 15-25 km from the estuary of the river Dnepr Kherson is the main port on the major inland waterway (Dnepr) with the largest industrial and agrarian regions of Ukraine situated on its banks. Trade from and to Eastern and Central Europe, as well as from and to the Black and Mediterranean Seas can be carried directly by riverand-sea vessels, while exports to more distant countries is possible by means of direct transhipment from river barges to sea-going vessels. Eight regions on the Dnepr, including Kherson, produce almost half of the total grain crop of Ukraine: their yearly average production exceeds 18 million tonnes or 46% of the total for Ukraine. Kherson Region State Administration started working on the development of a feasibility study for dredging of the navigable part of the Dnepr Delta and the establishment of Kherson Intermodal Transport Logistics Centre in view of the presidential and governmental initiatives on resumption of the navigation on inland waterways. This explains why there is a great deal of proposals for the development of the river traffic, as well as solutions, designs and concepts of cargo container terminals. Some of the most significant initiatives are described below.

5.1.1 JSC Kherson Shipyard

It is operating now and handles the container traffic of TAVRIA-LINE.

JSC Kherson Shipyard provides round the year services for the handling of various types of cargoes, including containers, oversized cargoes, arriving by waterway, railway and road. Its 365m long jetty is equipped with two gantry cranes, 100/16 T l.c. each and 10 T l.c. crane. It can receive vessels with a maximum length of 200 m and draft of 6.6m. The adjacent railways can accommodate 100 railway carriages. The jetty includes an open storage yard of 19,000 sq. m, and covered storehouses over an area of 1,700 sq. m

5.1.2 State Enterprise Kherson Commercial Sea Port

The Sea Port contemplates a development on its own (seven investment projects) on both banks of the Dnepr. One of these projects is a container terminal on the south side of the backwater No.2 on the left bank of the Dnepr, opposite its existing facilities: The projected capacity is 22,000 TEUs at a cost of 15 m USD + 122 m USD for the necessary railway track with a length of 12.5 km. The plan includes:

1. Carrying out of bottom deepening works for a volume of 20 000m3. 2. Construction of a berthing wall of 150 m long. 3. Formation of the warehouse areas 2500 sq. m. 4. Creation of structure of engineering constructions and networks.

5.1.3 Kherson Shipyard, Ukrrichflot

Kherson Shipyard is located along the same tributary as the River Port (the Kosheva), but on the other bank. Since operation at the shipyard is currently very limited Ukrrichflot intends to turn it into a container terminal. However, the existing facilities do not offer any real berth (only short quay sections). In addition, it would be necessary to knock down numerous buildings and

constructions first, such as workshops, outdoor gantries, warehouses etc. Besides, the area is locked by the city and does not offer efficient connection to regional road/rail networks. Project parameters of the terminal are: Length 575 m Width 105 m Depth at the berth - 7.6 m Development area 6 ha Annual capacity 60.000 TEUs

5.1.4 Kherson River Terminal (freight village)

The Government of the Kherson Region is promoting a large project of new port hub to be located on the right bank of the Dnepr river a few kilometres upstream Kherson city, on a greenfield territory of 200ha. The Project envisages the use of the Public-Private Partnership model and thus all business plans should be elaborated by a private investor for a specific private operator, built-to-suit its involvement. The project has been designed for coping with the following annual cargo throughputs: 250,000 TEUs on the short term (1.1 MTEUs on the long term). 50,000 ro-ro units. 1 M T of metals and general cargo. 1 M T of grain. 1.5 M T of vegetable oil. It also includes a large industrial park and business area. It has a direct connection to the highway network east of Kherson, next to the bridge giving access to Crimea, and is close to the railway (there is an existing railroad branch line entering the site). The site fronts motor roads E-97 (M-24) and E-58 (M-14) going around the city of Kherson. Railroad and highway (Antonivsky) bridges across the Dnepr are located nearby.

er vessels. It is possible to use specialised vessels with the capacity ranging from 200 to 470 TEU on the basis of the European experience. The Kherson Intermodal Terminal will set an example and provide the necessary experience for the establishment of a network of small river container terminals on a stage-by-stage basis along the Dnepr between Zaporozhe and Kiev; it will encourage the development of the necessary infrastructure and the creation of a large number of jobs in these regions. The Kherson Intermodal Terminal will catalyse the resumption of the navigation on the Dnepr and provide Ukraine with an opportunity for the full-fledged participation in the European NAIADES and MARCO POLO 2 programmes.

It is the only enterprise in Ukraine having the complete cycle of passenger cars' production. It is the main consignee of goods in containers in Zaporozhe region. Customs Complex of CJSC "ZAZ" offers the services of customs broker, cargo-handling operations and provision of temporary storage warehouse (for non-food products). Cargo Customs Complex - a permanent subdivision of Zaporozhe Customs - carries out customs clearance of goods in a "single window" and as a result in the shortest possible time. Total area - 1.4 hectares, terminal's zone of customs control area 15,400 sq. m, bonded warehouse - 859.4 sq. m. The prospects of development of the Customs Complex of CJSC "ZAZ" include: increasing the terminal area; installation of electronic truck scales; installation of the unified electronic registration system for goods and vehicles; services of temporary storage warehouse - enclosed premises for food products; service of customs bonded warehouse. The prospects of development include road and railway connections only.

5.2.2 Port of Zaporozhe, Ukrrichflot

Area: 39,7 ha Districts: 2 cargo handling areas (13 berths) and 1 passenger area (2 berths) Technical equipment: 37 gantry cranes (CC 20 tons, 16 tons, 10 tons, 5 tons), 3 floating cranes (CC 16 tons), 2 wheel-mounted cranes (CC 36 tons), 1 crane-logger. The Port of Zaporozhe handles a wide range of cargo including ore, coke, coal, metal scrap, metal products, fertilizers, clay, sand, ferroalloys, and bauxites. Its capacity is 6 million T annually. An investment project of grain silo construction with the storage capacity of about 30,000 tons (6 bins of 5,000 tons) is implemented in the Port. The Port accepts "river-sea" vessels with a length of up to 180 meters and draft up to 4 m. Cargo areas planning to work with containers: 1st cargo area: 1-6 berths, with present access roads (railway and road), already geared-up area for the start of work on 6-th berth. 7-th berth, close to the area of prospective building of grain terminal. 2nd cargo area:

Cargo operations with containers in Dnepropetrovsk River Port, JSSC Ukrrichflot

The port of Dnepropetrovsk handled some containers but stopped the operation - at the moment containers are being handled by another terminal to the North of the river port territory, also on the left bank. Handling rates: Loaded containers 100-110 TEU/day Empty containers 150-170 TEU/day Lifting of railway bridge 1 time per day which is enough for operating the vessel belonging to TAVRIA-LINE, which carries a maximum of 112 TEU on-board. The productivity is however low for the bigger sea-river vessels belonging to Ukrrichflot (DESNA Class 168 TEU BUG Class 331TEU ). River ports are handling containers by pairing conventional cranes, which is inadequate and unsafe and may result in container breakage. However the river port (Ukrrichflot) plans a redevelopment of container business, on the same area, which is well connected to road and rail networks. Development area 3.21 ha Length of the berth 211 m Depth at the berth 3,5 m Transportation: the railway track is connected to the railway node of Dnepropetrovsk River Port there is a direct access to the intercity highway

Location: 856 km from the estuary of the river Dnepr Kiev Development Strategy till Year 2025 does not foresee the establishment of a river multimodal facility. Ukrrichflot, on their side, contemplates the future of container transportation along the Dnepr as follows: Their prospective investment projects are intended to cover 20% of the segment (about 100,000TEUs per year) through Dnepropetrovsk (20,000TEUs per year), Zaporozhe (20,000TEUs per year), Kherson (60,000TEUs per year), using their current fleet of river-sea vessels Desna and Bug. Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhe terminals are able to provide efficient logistics servicing to Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporozhe, Poltava, Kirovograd, Sumy, Chernigov, Cherkassy and Kharkov regions. Kherson container terminal is able to provide the same to Kherson, Nikolayev and Crimea. This gives an opportunity to cover about 33% of the regional container market (including regions close to Kherson, Zaporozhe and Dnepropetrovsk). Based on volumes which they consider commercially achievable, Ukrrichflot favours the idea of comparatively small terminals.

THE EU CONTRIBUTION

Since the beginning of the 90s the EU has constantly been supporting Ukraine with regard to redevelopment of inland waterway transportation. The first EU-funded project was entrusted to BCEOM in 1994 under the TACIS programme (Medium-Term Strategy for Inland water Transport in Ukraine) while the most recent one was achieved by Corporate Solutions in 20092010 (Support to the Integration of Ukraine in the Trans-European Transport Network, Waterway Policy Paper). The report issued in 1995 by BCEOM already highlighted some key points such as the need for gearing the inland waterway transport industry to a market economy, the need to make the ports and the fleet more suitable for container traffic, the advantages of developing exchanges between Black Sea ports and Dnepr ports, but unfortunately very few actions were undertaken in this regard. In September 2010 the fully documented Waterway Policy Paper which was issued by Corp orate Solutions in the frame of the European Unions Programme for Ukraine (Integration of Ukraine in the Trans-European Transport Network) proposed an updated action plan aimed at preparing new grounds for re-development of transportation on the Dnepr, consisting of the two following key steps: Improve, strengthen and enforce the draft Law of Ukraine on Inland Waterway Transport. The paper notably foresees introduction in this future Ukrainian law of the legislation of European Union river transport related to marketing systems, access to profession, safety of navigation and river information services. Set up a Directorate for Inland Waterways or River Transport Directorate" within the existing the State Department for Maritime Policy in Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, aimed at 1) providing increased autonomy for the various river transport functions, activities and business lines, 2) re-orienting the role of the Administration by focusing on legislation, coordination and control, 3) modernising river transport through introduction of commercial intent in management of the river and adjacent territories, 4) stimulating innovation in all sectors related to river transport. However it seems that this recent Waterway Policy Paper was not followed by any practical actions, which is regrettable. The Consultant did notice an inland waterway section in the Transport Strategy of Ukraine for the Period of up to 2020 issued in 2011, but the section provides only principles.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The 2010 Waterway Policy Paper forms is a solid ground and effort should now be deployed in order to implement its recommendations, which will require a strong political commitment. With regard to exchanges between Black Sea ports and Dnepr ports the 2010 Waterway Policy Paper lacks ambition. The large number of idle river-sea going vessels should be put in condition for operating on routes between the Black Sea and the hinterland, which will first require improved border-crossing procedures in the river mouth region. Effort is also required to facilitate transhipment operations in Kherson. With regard to container trade a river master plan should be elaborated, sharing out the Dnepr basin into several regions each connected to a river port, taking also into account competition with road and rail. Currently, Ukraine is not a real transit state in spite of its geography. It is either the shipper or the end recipient of the cargo (i.e., one of the ends in the logistical chain). The volume of transit of (for instance, high-tariff) cargo is minimal. The Ukrainian river transport complex still relies on technologies of the 1990s. However, the transportation of cargo (especially high-tariff containerised cargo) has changed a lot since that time. Currently, the cargo is transported within logistical networks and between networks of logistical centres. The availability of logistical networks and centres is a factor determining the transit appeal. In order to become a member of the European Transportation Network, it is necessary to establish logistical centres of the European standard attractive for international investors. The development of logistical centres within the existing river ports is constrained by their location in the centres of the respective cities. There is an example of such a logistical centre on the Dnepr in the form of Aquarelle Ltd. Cargo Terminal in Dnepropetrovsk. It is confirmed by the successful operation of the terminal. Development programmes of private companies are pragmatic. They are not always considered in the prospects of the development of the country and do not encourage the development of cargo flows; they rather support them. However, their very existence and implementation are positive factors. The Kherson River Terminal (KRT) project supported by Kherson City State Administration is the most comprehensive solution both for the city of Kherson and for the traffic on the Dnepr in general. If the project is implemented, KRT will enhance the attractiveness of the TRACECA corridor through Ukraine; it is however advisable to develop terminal in progressive stages matching the development of the traffic and to gradually increase the depths of the approach channel. The construction of modern specialised multimodal terminals (with the possible combination of three modes of transport) being parts of regional logistics and distribution centres adapted to the current transportation requirements and integrated into international intermodal logistical schemes should become one of the first initiatives aimed at the encouragement of the river traffic on the Dnepr. The decision to place intermodal logistical centres along the Dnepr and the placement of state orders for the training of qualified workers for the river transport sector must be made on the basis of the development of a State Concept of the Formation and Development of the Logistical Transportation and Distribution Structure of Regions Adjacent to the Dnepr, and the Human Resource Support thereto. The existing projects and business practices confirm that Dnepropetrovsk is currently the most optimal point on the Dnepr for handling container trade delivery based on distance and cost of the transportation, and its competitiveness versus road and rail transport. Measures should also be taken to avoid conflicting container terminal projects in a given port, such as in Dnepropetrovsk. Since the area, in which Ukrrichflot is planning to develop the container transhipment, is very close to (in fact, it is only separated with a fence from) the Aqua-

relle Terminal (Tavria Line), it would be logical for the companies to join their efforts and projects. The same recommendations hold true for development projects in Zaporozhe (Ukrrichflot and CJSC ZAZ), where the latter could import parts and ship out cars via the river. It would also make sense to use Ukrrichflot's vessels in the overall project due to their larger container capacity and, accordingly, the lower cost of the transportation, the better class of vessels and, accordingly, the higher reliability of the transportation. Developing the existing cooperation and synergy between (a) large shipper(s) guaranteeing regular cargo flows and ship-owners is most desirable. The logistical chain does not amount to a berth and transhipment facility only; it is necessary to pay attention as well to logistics infrastructure and software (modern storage and processing areas, electronic records, and control of the cargo at all stages along the chain, multimodal logistics and distribution centres, etc.) As can be seen from the above report, there are several different approaches and concepts of terminals which is normal since there is plenty to choose from and compare. Some projects encompass the traditional berth handling only. Hub-3 modal terminal - logistics centre would certainly better match the goal of generating synergies, maximize the efficiency of the investments while reducing the necessary funding needs. There is a clear need for a systematic governmental approach of the location of the terminals in order to account for the environmental and socio-economic dimensions of the projects and their harmonious integration within the cities and regions, with a minimum negative result for the environment, an optimal financial performance, a clear outlook and opportunity for further development and integration in the logistics chain. This evidently calls for a permanent, active dialogue involving all key players and professionals from the national, regional and municipal public and private sectors under the leadership of the state.

PROTOCOL OF THE MEETING OF THE LOGMOS AZERBAIJAN TRACECA WORKING GROUP ON THE 2ND OF SEPTEMBER, 2011, IN BAKU
The TRACECA National Secretary in Azerbaijan shared his views and approach towards the Logistical Processes and Motorways of the Sea II (LOGMOS) Project, and agreed on the proposal of the project team to establish a dedicated Working Group of Stakeholders to address the issues hampering the implementation of the LOGMOS pilot projects in Azerbaijan. The meeting was attended by the Head of Group of Experts of the PS IGC TRACECA, the LOGMOS project Team Leader and Key Expert II (list of participants is enclosed to this Protocol). The TRACECA National Secretary selected the participants having the best knowledge and experience in the two previous TRACECA projects in order to maximise the efficiency of the Working Group and benefit from the outcomes of those implemented projects. During this first meeting the Project experts had an opportunity to brief the participants on project objectives, as well as the principles and implementation methodology proposed by the team. The approach was welcomed by the TRACECA National Secretary and other participants. The participants discussed the actions to eliminate remaining barriers and obstacles, in particular, improvement of out-dated practices and adoption of state-of-the-art management tools for building new infrastructures. The participants from Azerbaijan also briefed the TA Team about the latest hard and soft plans, the recent achievements and progress in the transport industry in Azerbaijan, particularly: the decree issued by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, regarding the modernization of the Railways with a massive 1,5 Bios USD investment plan which includes capital repair of a large portion of the rail network as well as purchase of new rolling stock and locomotives, the rapid progress of the preparatory works in the new Port and ILC location at Alyat, the introduction of a set of new regulations by the State Customs Committee aiming at trade facilitation, improvement of the risk-management system, reducing costs and administrative hassle and addressing human dignity issues, the adoption by the Milli Mclis (Assembly) of Azerbaijan of the New Customs Code. The open discussion on the existing pilot projects gave the participants an opportunity to address also the issue of the Trans-Caspian shipping services offered by the National Shipping Company of Azerbaijan, CASPAR, in terms of regularity, and capacities of the vessels. The implementation of the Block Container Train Poti-Baku project will become a significant achievement for Azerbaijan in the context of the efficient operation and full use of logistics potential of the Alyat Port. For the purpose of the launch and efficient operation of the block train, additional rail-ferry space will be necessary depending both on the type of vessel deployed and shuttle services following the strict schedule. It was also recognized that CASPAR, in order to retain its leadership in the Caspian Basin, has to meet the growing market demand for TIR-truck / Ro-ro services to Aktau and Turkmenbashi ports. The Project team emphasized as well the necessity of obtaining results in a short run in elimination of delays, increasing cost-efficiency and staff retention, benefitting from best practices and lessons learnt in other TRACECA and ex-Soviet non-TRACECA countries in terms of port management, EDI between Customs Houses, unified transport documentation

(such as those developed for the operation of the Viking Train which Azerbaijan is looking forward to joining soon). The Action Plans prepared by the Project team have been disseminated among the Participants and after this introductory meeting, further sessions will be held with the support of the TRACECA National Secretary in Azerbaijan in order to monitor and assess the level of implementation of recommended actions. The participants from Azerbaijan demonstrated a constructive, result-oriented and friendly spirit highly appreciated by the project team.
