Freight using road transport:
• Without any additional vignette or toll cost in Finland, Estonia and Latvia
• In Lithuania vignette system costs 20 € per day (if purchased one day), 6 € per day (if purchased one month), and approx. 5 € (annual)
• In Poland new viaTOLL system charges approx. 0.04-0.1 € per km driven (3rd of July onwards)
Additional costs of 5-6 € + 0.05 €/km × 320 km = 21-22 € per semi-trailer truck
Freight using sea transport (Gdynia):
• Low Sulphur Surcharge/MARPOL (2007, convention, 73/78): 10-20 € per semi-trailer
• Polish new viaTOLL system: 0.05 €/km × 374 km = 18.7 € per semi-trailer
Additional costs: 28.7-38.7 € per semi-trailer
Freight using railway transport (960 Gross Ton Freight Train):
• Finland: 2.1 € per km (~15 %, if 100 % then 14 € per km)
• Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: 6.5 € per km (100 %)
• Poland: 3.5 € per km (~90 %)
Additional costs of 859 km × 6.5 € /km + 367 km × 3.5 €/km= 6868 € for the whole train (corresponds to 230 € per semi-trailer, if whole train is having 100 % fillrate, 30 semi-trailers)

Freight using road transport:
• Maybe Latvia and Estonia start to use similar system with Lithuania (Vignette): additional costs 5-6 € per semi-trailer × 2 = 10-12 € per semi-trailer
• Road is eligble to pay from CO2 emissions (25-45 € per ton): 60-120 €
Total costs of the future: 91-154 € per semi-trailer
Freight using sea transport (Gdynia):
• Low Sulphur Surcharge/MARPOL, 2015 (convention, 73/78): 100-150 € per semi-trailer
• Polish new viaTOLL system: 0.05 €/km × 374 km = 18.7 € per semi-trailer
Additional costs: 118.7-168.7 € per semi-trailer

Ratio of 960 Gross ton Freight Train and 590 Gross Ton Intercity Passenger Train in Access Charges

Freight using railway transport (960 Gross Ton Freight Train):
• Finland: ~15 % (2.1 € per km) is covered with access fees, then 100 % results to 14 € per train km
• Sweden: ~5 % (0.3 € per km) with 100 % it is 6 € per km
New total costs (with Swedish prices, lower): 7356 € (245 € per semi-trailer)
Railways also cause CO2 emissions (20 % with electricity as compared to trucks): 18-30 € per semi-trailer
Total costs of the future: 260-280 € per semi-trailer
What if real price of access fee is 10 € per km?

Stevedoring Strike in Finland (4.March-22.March.2010)
Is this our future after MARPOL sulphur surcharge implementation during year 2015?
...and will we act in retrospect to the forthcoming major changes?
How we could lower access fee for freight in railway network and simultaneously improve current ”old alignment” readiness and state to serve freight flows?
Russian Dimension:Trans-Siberian Railway Pricing Change (...and collapse of Finnish volume)
Year 2008: 643 TEU
Year 2009: 1459 TEU
Year 2010: 1536 TEU

...if Additional Transportation CostsIncrease, We Need to Incorporate Rail Baltica in These Four Themes
Rail Baltica Investment
Emerging Countries
RussiaBelarussia
China
Cities and Regions
Tourism
High tech.industry growth
Sure aboutrailwaydemand Lack of Fast
Passenger TransportAlternatives
Tallinn airport between Helsinki and Riga
North-East Poland does not have any airports
Private car use trend in the Baltic States
Marketing Tool
Alignment is not big issue
Place on the map
Like additional sea port or airport
Airports located mostly in capitals
Logistics sector (transit)
Should be connected to eastern markets
