The role of Ilfov County Council in planning and implementing the “BIMH” project

• Main Promoter

• Project Coordinator

• Project Applicant, with the support of the following partner

institutions:

• Henri Coandă International Airport

• Romanian Railways Company (CFR)

• Romanian National Company of Motorways and National Roads (CNADNR)

• Local Councils of Otopeni, Tunari, Moara Vlăsiei and Dascălu

• Integrator of feasibility studies already developed by “BIMH” project partner institutions

• Financial contributor

• Beneficiary of the socio-economic impact of the project

PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY

Ilfov County Council, through public consultations, will involve institutional partners signatories of the Agreement, state and private operators and transporters in selecting the optimal technical-financial solution for the realization of the project.

Project funding will be provided by several partners, being open to private operators and transporters.

The operation of “BIMH” will be done by concession / rental by state or private operators, providing users with services at the same rates charged in Europe.

The proposed location for the BIMH project– 114 ha

Moara Vlăsiei commune (Ilfov County), between A2 highway (Bucharest – Constanța)

and A3 highway (Ploiești – Brașov)

and in the proximity of Henri Coandă International Airport - Bucharest

The feasibility study will determine the optimal location, stages of achievement and investment value of the “BIMH” project!

National relevance

National Strategic Framework

▪ Ilfov County Development Strategy – Horizon 2020:

→ existence of a pre-feasibility study

→ Zonal Urban Plan with road connections between Henri Coandă Airport, A3 highway and the new ring road of Bucharest

▪ Intermodal Transport Strategy 2020 in Romania & the General Transport Master Plan draft (The Ministry of Transport)

▪ Airport Infrastructure Development Strategic Program for the Henri Coandă International Airport:

→ ongoing prefeasibility and feasibility, including a multimodal cargo platform and connection with the rail network

▪ NRC Intermodal Strategy

→ development of an intermodal terminal Ploiești - Bucharest - Giurgiu – Oltenița (2014 - 2020)

→ feasibility study for the electrification of Bucharest North Railway Station – Otopeni railway

Objectives / Benefits:

√ Developing an innovation and knowledge-based economy

√ Improving the efficiency of underdeveloped logistics connections

√ Optimal use of transport infrastructure

√ The development of green logistics corridors in Europe

√ Optimal integration of transport modes and reducing the financial disparities affecting intermodal transport

√ Promoting a green economy, more efficient in terms of resources and jobs

√ Reducing bureaucratic issues and costs arising from the use of multimodal transport platforms

European relevance

√ Romania has 2 TEN-T Core Network Corridors: The Orient/East-Med Corridor and The Rhine-Danube Corridor

√ Strengthening Romania as The East Gate Hub of Europe: Romania possesses the geographical ''turntable” position for inter-continental (Asia to Europe) and interregional (Silk Route and Central & Eastern Europe hinterland) transport

√ Improving the competitive global position of Europe

√ EU new policy refocuses transport financing on a tightly defined new core network (setting up of 9 major transport corridors)

√ It will remove bottlenecks, upgrade infrastructure and streamline cross border transport operations for freight, businesses and passengers throughout the EU

√ Safer and less congested travel

√ Smoother and quicker transport (goods, persons)

The project’s relevance in the context of the Trans-European Network for Transportation - TEN-T Programme

√ Helps connect the main national ways of transportation with TEN-T’s Priority Axis, mainly PA 7 (Igoumenitsa/Patras-Atena- Sofia -Budapest - Nădlac - Sibiu - Bucharest/Constanţa), PA 22 (NRC - Athens - Sofia - Budapest - Viena - Prague - Nürenberg/Dresda-Curtici - Braşov - Bucharest/Constanța), Pan-European Corridor IV and Pan -European Corridor IX.

√ Improves the European Market and the economical and social cohesion at European level

√ Assures a sustainable mobility for persons and goods in the best social, environmental and safety conditions integrating all modes of transport

√ Strengthens the Pan European transport network’s capacity, reducing both the transport distances and the bottlenecks created on the main transport ways, and the transport time

√ Creates an integrated European network through the interconnection of various ways of transportation into a multimodal network

Structure

Proposal for the BIMH project’s capacity and functionality

Multimodal railway platform

• A transfer cargo capacity of approx. 800.000 – 1.2 mil tons per year,

approx 90.000-100.000 TEU/year.

• Double access (in both directions) to CFR’s Balotești-Bucharest (North Station)

(a Feasibility Study for electrification already exists, commisioned by CFR).

• 5 electrified railways of 750 meters each are proposed for the interior,

in order to load / unload.

• A train – auto cargo zone will have 2 electrical cranes of 45 tons each.

• A temporary cargo handling / storing area of 12.000/50.000 square meters.

• Storage and handling for all types of cargo and containers, including reefers.


Multimodal Cargo Airport Platform - Located close to the A2 motorway in an area of about 80 ha, it has been the subject of the feasibility study contained in “The Airport Infrastructure Development Strategic Program” Its traffic operating capacity is for about 50 tons/hour (arrivals and departures) and a maximum storage capacity of 400 tons/day (arrivals and departures). For both flows, it will provide a storage capacity for perishable food freight of maximum 200.000 tons/year. Multimodal Cargo Airport Platform Structure: - Multi Aircraft Ramp System (MARS), allowing for simultaneous service to 10 aircraft with

large fuselages (IATA code E) or 20 middle-sized fuselage aircraft (IATA code C).

- Interim storage capacity – extensible platform, 6 modules from 35.000 tons/yearly to maximum 200.000 tons/year (planned for 10 tons/square meters) - semi-automated, efficient ULD/Cargo handling, traceability for location of shipments and containers/pallets. One electrified rail line for freight (750 m) with 2 access points – assuring the connection with the national rail network.
