9. SWOT ANALYSIS
III- IWT
SYSTEM

10. I- STRENGTH

11. Rail : 0.00756 liter/ton km
1. Saving in Fuel Consumption
Barges : 0.012 liter/ton km
Trucks : 0.038 liter/ton km

12. 2. Saving on Investment (capital)
- Capital cost/ton capacity
- Less Demand on foreign)
L.E 30.000 for trucks
L.E 8000 – 10000 for barges
Currency (about 20%)
Imported parts : Only engine
Hull/Body Locally built
- Longer time life)
Barges : 20 – 30 years
Trucks : 12 years

13. 3. Saving in Operating Cost:
Depreciation Cost
Fuel Cost
Spare Parts and Maintenance Cost
Labor Cost

14. - Navigable path available free of charge
4. Less Demand on Infrastructure
- Higher capacity : Load capacity of
one unit 900T
- Navigable path available free of charge
1.1 (Push + Push) 900 T
1 Truck 30 T
i.e. 30 times (about 1.5 km of one lane Rd.)

15. 5. Environment Friendly
Less CO2
Less Accident

16. II- WEAKNESS

17. A. Limitation On Operation
1- Speed
Operating Speed : (@12km/hr.)
2- Delays at Locks
3- Dependence on availability Enough
Water for safe and Economic Operation
4- Restriction
Operating during daylight

18. C. Limited Market
Subsiding : Bulk Commodities for
Long Distance
B. Dependence on Other Mode
To Complete Door/Door Transport

19. III- OPPURTINITY

20. A. Commodity : Bulk (Dry/Liquid)
i- Foreign Trade Handled at Alex. And
Damietta Ports.
Grains
Sulpher
Coal
Cement
Sugar
Maize

21. ii – Intercity Transport
Petrol
Cement
Clays
Stones
Gravel
Sand
Moaleses
Phosphate

22. B. Quantities : Large Quantity
Over Hundred Thousands
Cairo/Alex - Damietta
C. Distances : Large Distances
Over 200km
Menya – Assuit - Sohag
Qena/Aswan

23. IV- THREATS

24. UNFAIR COMPETION WITH OTHER MODES:
A- Road Transport
a. Subsidy Policy:
Fuel/Infrastructure
b. Overloading
Legal 30 T. Actual 50-70T
c. Aging of the Fleet
Int. 12 years – local 20 years
d. Organizational
One man operation dominates the industry
(Less Administrative Cost/Difficult to
organize and/or to regulate)

25. B- Rail Transport
Very heavy governmental subsidy
Capital investment/Maintenance
Requirements

26. PRESENT PYSICAL
BOTTLE NECKS FACING
DEVELOPMENT OF IWT
SYSTEM IN EGYPT

27. Along the Navigable Paths
1- Variation of Water Depths
Change of NavigableWater Depth
Less Than 1.6m

28. RESULTS

32. B- Development of River Ports
RTA
NEW APPROACH
RTA will assume the following RESPONSBILITIES

33. 1- Define Potential Demand on IWT
Along Main Corridors of Navigable Channels
2- Identify Appropriate Locations
3- Co-operate with Local Authorities
To A quire Land
4- Contact Feasibility Studies for the
Technical and Financial Violability for
The Selected Land

34. 5- Prepare Draft Contract Documents
With the Developer
6- Assume Responsibilities with Other Agencies:
i
7- Announcement of Tender
- Connecting Location to Road Network
ii - Providing Public Utilities to Location
iii - Securing Required Licenses for Location
