PROJET
TERMINÉ
The Lietmajärvi–Kotskoma railway has been constructed in several phases since the era of the Soviet Union. Th e new track will shorten the railroad distance to northwest Russia by over fi ve hundred (500) kilometres and will speed up transport. Along with the new transport route, freight traffi c will be able to be transported cost-effi ciently to Central Europe and other commercial ports of the world using the Northlink ports located in the Bay of Bothnia, and, naturally, vice versa. Th e goal of the project was to create a co-operative team from the ports of the Bay of Bothnia and VR Cargo in order to promote the transition gateway through the ports of the Bay of Bothnia to the Russian Arkhangelsk and Komi and the associated opportunities it would present as a new transport route between the East and the West. Th e project aimed to develop co-operation and information exchange with Russian transport companies and other businesses that provide logistic services, to develop data system co-operation with the tracking of transports and goods, and to make transport fl ows more effi cient both technically and fi nancially between Northwest Russia and Central Europe. Th e goal of the project was to create permanent co-operation relationships and operational practices between the Finnish and Russian entities for the development of transport and storage of goods via sea, road and railway. A further goal was, together with other entities, to ensure that border crossings, customs operations and other formal border activities would be easier and would take less time. Th e route was to be made well-known among international forwarding and freight companies. Achievements: A shared logistics committee was created by Northlink and the State Provincial Office of Oulu in order to monitor and co-ordinate the development of the transport route. The committee had a large group of participants both from Russia and Finland, and its work promoted the creation of co-operation relationships between Finnish and Russian companies and government representatives and officials. The visits to Finnish and Russian companies have made the new Karelia gateway and the services offered by the ports of the Bay of Bothnia and VR Cargo well known. The project received publicity in the Finnish media. A few articles were also published in foreign logistics magazines. The marketing efforts, visits, seminars and presentations by Northlink have effectively created general awareness of the project and the opportunities it presents. The project can be seen as a success in terms of developing co-operation between entities and increasing awareness regarding the transport gateway. In addition, a freight transport study was conducted regarding Northwest Russia as well as a study regarding potential customer companies in the Vologda province, the Republic of Komi and Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions. Throughout its history, however, the project was tied to the use of the Lietmajrvi Kotskoma connection and its construction, which began in 1992. The track was completed during 2002; however, commercial transport on the track has not yet begun. As a result, future concrete collective marketing efforts have been postponed and the objectives of the project have not been competed in full. Additional information: www.northlink.fi
