SWOT ANALYSIS

III- IWT

SYSTEM

I- STRENGTH

Rail : 0.00756 liter/ton km

1. Saving in Fuel Consumption

Barges : 0.012 liter/ton km

Trucks : 0.038 liter/ton km

2. Saving on Investment (capital)

- Capital cost/ton capacity

- Less Demand on foreign)

L.E 30.000 for trucks

L.E 8000 – 10000 for barges

Currency (about 20%)

Imported parts : Only engine

Hull/Body Locally built

- Longer time life)

Barges : 20 – 30 years

Trucks : 12 years

3. Saving in Operating Cost:

Depreciation Cost

Fuel Cost

Spare Parts and Maintenance Cost

Labor Cost

- Navigable path available free of charge

4. Less Demand on Infrastructure

- Higher capacity : Load capacity of one unit 900T

- Navigable path available free of charge

1.1 (Push + Push) 900 T

1 Truck 30 T

i.e. 30 times (about 1.5 km of one lane Rd.)

5. Environment Friendly

Less CO2

Less Accident

II- WEAKNESS

A. Limitation On Operation

1- Speed

Operating Speed : (@12km/hr.)

2- Delays at Locks

3- Dependence on availability Enough

Water for safe and Economic Operation

4- Restriction Operating during daylight

C. Limited Market

Subsiding : Bulk Commodities for

Long Distance

B. Dependence on Other Mode

To Complete Door/Door Transport

III- OPPURTINITY

A. Commodity : Bulk (Dry/Liquid)

i- Foreign Trade Handled at Alex. And

Damietta Ports.

ii – Intercity Transport

Moaleses

B. Quantities : Large Quantity

Over Hundred Thousands

Cairo/Alex - Damietta

C. Distances : Large Distances

Over 200km

Menya – Assuit - Sohag

Qena/Aswan

IV- THREATS

UNFAIR COMPETION WITH OTHER MODES:

A- Road Transport

a. Subsidy Policy:

Fuel/Infrastructure

b. Overloading

Legal 30 T. Actual 50-70T

c. Aging of the Fleet

Int. 12 years – local 20 years

d. Organizational

One man operation dominates the industry

(Less Administrative Cost/Difficult to

organize and/or to regulate)

B- Rail Transport

Very heavy governmental subsidy

Capital investment/Maintenance Requirements

B- Development of River Ports

RTA

NEW APPROACH

RTA will assume the following RESPONSBILITIES

1- Define Potential Demand on IWT

Along Main Corridors of Navigable Channels

2- Identify Appropriate Locations

3- Co-operate with Local Authorities

To A quire Land

4- Contact Feasibility Studies for the

Technical and Financial Violability for

The Selected Land

5- Prepare Draft Contract Documents

With the Developer

6- Assume Responsibilities with Other Agencies:

i

7- Announcement of Tender

- Connecting Location to Road Network

ii - Providing Public Utilities to Location

iii - Securing Required Licenses for Location
