2013

scope of services: For the Project CONTRAST der Kuehne + Nagel (AG & Co.) KG created the LUB Consulting GmbH a Marco Polo grant application of the EU. The project includes a "Modal Shift Action" in a single wagon load traffic between Scandinavia and South-Eastern Europe. It should be an optimized solution for single wagon traffic along the shortest path. The corridor connects Rostock Wustermark (LVN West Berlin) and Dresden-Friedrichstadt (FV Dresden) with Bad Schandau / Czech border. From there, the corridor leads to Breclav (CZE) and Vienna (AUT) and to Sopron (HUN). From here, the goods are transported in block trains to the destinations in the Balkans and Turkey. The innovative approach of the corridor is mainly that the train does not operate between marshalling yards, but between so-called Railports. In this context, a market survey along the corridor was developed, which was the basis for the application process. On the basis of the market survey and inventory amounts of Kuehne and Nagel, a comprehensive business plan for the entire duration of the project was created. Based on the forecast transport volume displaced over the project period, the amount of funding was calculated and applied in the 3rd quarter of 2013.
