Major increase of Rail Transportation Tariffs
published: cw 26, 2005 in Logistics & ShippingProrail, the railway infrastructure manager in the Netherlands, will increase the tariffs for rail transportation dramatically. For the most heaviest trains (coal and iron transports) the tariffs will increase from 0,89 /km to approx. 3,20 /km. The increased tariffs will have it’s impact to European transport prices, due to the fact that the Dutch Railway Network connects the main port Rotterdam to the other European countries. It is expected that the new prices will create 15-25% lesser demand for rail transportation.
