In order to shift freight transport to rail and make Carinthia even more attractive as a business location, \u00d6BB, in close cooperation with the state of Carinthia, want to strengthen the Logistics Center Austria S\u00fcd (LCA-S\u00fcd) in F\u00fcrnitz and establish a rail customs corridor between Trieste and F\u00fcrnitz. In addition to increasing the added value for the state of Carinthia and its industry, the LCA-S\u00fcd can thus be expanded into an international logistics hub, which creates new jobs and more added value for the companies at the location. With the rail customs corridor, the busy port of Trieste is to be relieved in the future. Some of the incoming containers are then loaded directly from the ship onto the rails in Trieste and processed from the customs declaration in F\u00fcrnitz and then redistributed nationally and internationally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2018 the SmartLogi project was approved as an Interreg project (Italy-Austria). The aim of the project was to improve administrative and ICT processes in sustainable multimodal transport options. The project partners (including LCA Logistik Center Austria S\u00fcd GmbH, Port of Trieste, Province of Carinthia, Regions Venetia and Friuli-Venezia Giulia) agreed on the implementation of a pilot project to eliminate technical barriers and optimal use of the existing infrastructure and further development of the topic of customs clearance in freight transport. The “Rail Customs Corridor” project started at this point and received strong political support. Right from the start, RCA was heavily involved as a relevant player and transport service provider. After the signing of the MoU on the occasion of the celebration of 300 years of the port of Trieste and the commitment to greater networking between the port and the railways, the topic of the rail customs corridor became a central element in the development of the logistics location in F\u00fcrnitz.<\/p>\n

What is a rail customs corridor<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a customs railway corridor between two bonded warehouses (Port of Trieste and Villach South). Containers can be loaded onto the railroad to Villach S\u00fcd|F\u00fcrnitz directly from the ship without customs procedures and interim storage in the port of Trieste, in order to be cleared for customs in F\u00fcrnitz and inspected if necessary.
\nThe goods can either be unloaded at the terminal, transferred to trucks or transported further by rail.<\/p>\n

Benefits for the customer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 At the customer’s request, containers can be loaded directly from the ship onto the train without going through customs in the port of Trieste
\n\u2022 Customs clearance takes place electronically during transport.
\n\u2022 In the event of capacity bottlenecks in the port of Trieste, containers can be transported quickly and do not have to be stored temporarily to wait for customs clearance.
\n\u2022 The customer decides whether the goods are declared in Trieste or F\u00fcrnitz.
\n\u2022 This results in a price and time advantage. The interim storage in Trieste is more expensive than in F\u00fcrnitz, long storage times in the port and the associated fees are eliminated, since the goods are loaded straight away in the direction of Villach S\u00fcd|F\u00fcrnitz.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Fast loading at the port
\n\u2022 Traffic that can be planned (intermittent traffic) by railway companies
\n\u2022 Short throughput times on the Trieste-Villach S\u00fcd (F\u00fcrnitz) route with the shortest possible stop at the border
\n\u2022 Rapid processing and inspection in Villach S\u00fcd | F\u00fcrnitz
\n\u2022 sufficient space and human resources
\n\u2022 an attractive price policy in F\u00fcrnitz<\/p>\n

Political goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rail customs corridor offers the state of Carinthia, the Friuli region, the LCA-S\u00fcd and the \u00d6BB a unique opportunity, as part of an innovative EU project and as a direct partner of the port of Trieste, to set significant economic impulses for the location and to develop cooperation in the underpin the Alpe-Adria region politically.<\/p>\n
