continuing− Attitude towards public transportation is poor
− Local public transport companies are trying to improve their image
Interview findings (FIN & EST)
− Price level of supply chain costs is the most important factor− Should be comparable with road and sea transport− ”No one want to use rail transport if it costs more” –Interviewee
− Time is important factor− In Finland from 20 to 48 hours (Helsinki - Berlin)− In Estonia from 10 to 24 hours (Tallinn - Berlin)
− Frequency should be at average level (1-4 times a day at least)− Easiness is very important for some clients of freight transport− Most global companies stress the importance of good connections forward
from Warsaw and Berlin− Connection between Tallinn-Warsaw-Berlin is not enough, especially on
freight side− Many logistics service providers have need for good connections to
South from Warsaw
Interview findings (FIN & EST)
− Rail Baltica is seen mostly as positive− More positive attitude in Finland− Estonians are a little bit sceptical whether the actual investment project
will ever start− Rail Baltica is not seen as threat for logistics providers and freight transport
companies− Rail Baltica will be success only, if it co-operates with other transport
modes and companies− Logical to extend to Helsinki and St. Petersburg− ”Is there enough volume?” –some interviewees− IMO sulphur regulations are seen as a great threat for Finnish transportation
and whole economy− Rail Baltica is seen as a great alternative for sea transport
