The associations of the railway intermodal transport emphasize the strategicità of the field in order to exceed the emergency



Today thirteen associations of the field of the intermodal and railway transport, the logistics and shipments have introduced an open letter revolt to the Italian and European institutions in which they emphasize the strategicità of the railway intermodal transport in order to help the economy to exceed the current phase of criticality determined from the fast and which extended spread in Italy and Europe of the contagions from COVID-19.

The letter, that we publish below, has been undersigned by ANITA (National Association Enterprises Railway and Intermodal Automotive Transports), Assoferr (Association Operating), Assologistica, Fercargo, Fercargo Maneuver, Fercargo Rotabili, Fercargo Terminal, Logistic Sos (Association for the Sustainable Logistics), UIR (Union To interpose Reunited you), ESC (European Shippers' Council), ERFA (European Rail Freight Association), NEE (Netzwerk Europäischer Eisenbahnen) and UIRR (International Union for Road-Rail Combined Transport).

Crisis coronavirus: to safeguard the railway intermodal transport as strategic asset for the economy

The crisis coronavirus has heavy repercussions on the Italian and European logistic rows. Today Italy is in front line, with restrictions taxes from the government in date 8/9.3.2020 that do not limit the transport directly goods, but however has remarkable effects on the logistics and the economy. Own in these hours, moreover, ulterior actions could be undertaken for the protection of the public health in Italy and other European countries.

Particular attention deserves just the European dimension, considering the industrial interdependence of the companies of our continent and the fast extension of the epidemic in many Countries. The Italian economy closely is connected to the markets of the Europe center-north. If the flows of goods do not work, the collapse is risked to the entire economy.

In this context, the rail shipment, is intermodal that conventional, it plays a strategic role, as enlivens great amounts of goods on long distances, with fixed and trackable distances, and with I use of the limited and easy controlable staff from the sanitary point of view beyond to very known smaller ones environmental impact for transported ton.

The intermodalità in figures

In Italy the volume of goods transported on railroad piles to 97 million annual tons, of which 60 million with the type of the intermodal transport road/track. Particularly important it is the international quota, with 62 million tons in import/export.

The merceologia regards is supplying of private (medicinal ones, alimentary fuels, commodities) that the industrial production (raw materials, semifinished ones).

A sure system

The railway intermodal transport uses the railway modality for the long distances and that street one for the final distribution.

Draft of system a closed, controlable, traceable and easy adjustable making hinge on a limited number of intermodal centers. Until from the beginning of the emergency coronavirus, the several actors of the logistic chain have adopted a series of measures to protect the health and safety of the people involved in the production processes, recependo and often anticipating the indications of the authorities.

Today the companies leader of the logistic field are transferring much goods on railroad in order to diminish mobility of people (drivers) through Europe. This happens especially in the corridor north-south for the traffic da/per Italy. It is considered that on the rail shipment a crew the train (maximum 2 people) enlivens 40 semitowings, while an intermodal terminal that manages 20 couples of trains daily uses 60 railwaymen in order to move goods that otherwise would mobilize 800 drivers.

Intermodal management "contactless"

The measures adopted from the actors of the intermodal transport afford of being compying regarding the new norms. There is a relative certainty that the contagion occasions truly are reduced lessened.
