EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ENGLISH VERSION

The Arab Region is characterized by a plurality of political systems and economic structures. Likewise, the rail
industry shows a high degree of heterogeneity, ranging from the complete absence of railways to the
existence of a developed network with traffic levels of primary magnitude.
Nevertheless, the increasing trend of integration / cooperation processes progressing within the Arab Region is
evident. Such a trend involves a variety of matters (development of regional infrastructure projects, common
trade agreements) at different political levels (from the neighbour countries level to the Arab League level)
and shows the ambitious and long run perspective of a unique economic market.
In the specific transport sector, due to the inclination of Arab countries to establish local and regional railway
networks, and in view of the economic and social benefits of the railway transport as a reliable and safe
transport alternative, it has become crucial the outline of a comprehensive scheme of the Arab railway
network, incorporating both existing and planned rail networks, allowing:
i)

the connection of these networks in major axes,

ii)

the definition of its elements, specifications and operating procedures and

iii)

the lay down of the groundwork to link the Arab region with neighboring countries.

The Project of the Arab Rail Network aims therefore at the creation of an interoperable, complete and modern
regional railway system.
As a consequence, the implementation of a future Arab Core Railway Network is one of the largest and most
ambitious Projects of the world in the 21st century. It translates the vision of the League of Arab States,
represented by the Arab Transport Ministers Council, who identified the completion of inland linkages (both
road and rail) between all member States, as high priority for the development of its territories.
This infrastructural work, involving a territory 13, 3 million km2 wide which includes North Africa and a large
part of Middle East, represents one of the milestones of a larger general plan finalized to the economic
development and improvement of living conditions for about 360 millions of Arab Citizens.
The Project involves all the Countries members of the League of Arab States, with the exception of the Comoro
Islands, which are: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia,
Kuwait, Algeria, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Mauritania, Somalia, Palestine, Djibouti.
Looking at the current situation of the transport connections within the Arab countries, the magnitude of the
effort of the Project on the technical side is noticeable. On the other hand, it's important to note that not only
engineering and technical issues, but also institutional and legal requirements, have to be identified and put in

place in order to make the Network act as one of the pillars of the economic and social development of the
Arab Region.
In fact, the key success factor of the Arab Railway Network Project will be a tangible development of
international railway services, both freight and passengers. The strong increase of international traffic, far
beyond the actual low level, will foster the economical and financial sustainability of the Project in the long
run. In other words, a crucial point of the Project is to ensure not only the construction of a standalone
infrastructure but also to make it act effectively as a strong traffic backbone.
The complexity of this project is also manifested in the associated technical-operative features related to the
large geographical extension of the work which brings to consider a very high number of railway projects
theoretically interesting, the parallel development of national projects driven by different factors and the need
to offer a technical framework enabling balanced political choices involving environmental, institutional and
socio-economic aspects.
AFESD (Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development) was committed to finance the Arab Railway Network
Study for the implementation of this Project, with the scope to define, on the basis of the existing studies and
plans, the main rail axes of the network and to analyze its overall feasibility from technical, environmental and
economic-financial points of view, in compliance with the time horizon and with the local and international
regulation.
In particular, the wider project objectives are:
 To provide a comprehensive vision for the integration and linkage of the Arab railway networks,
suggesting the necessary time schedule and conditions for its implementation.
 To highlight missing sections and corridor locations of the major regional axes linking the Arab
countries, in addition to drawing their technical specifications.
 To propose a ranking of the railway projects of regional relevance through assessments on transport,
engineering, environmental and economic aspects, and to plan their implementation according to
strategic importance and expected return on investment.
 To design the guidelines for an effective implementation of the Project from a regulatory perspective.
 In the end, to provide to the Client (AFESD) a valid instrument for project funding appraisal in the rail
sector across the Arab Region and to the various Project Beneficiaries important elements for further
development within each countrys National Plan.

The Study has been conducted in seven subsequent Phases, further aggregated into three Macro Stages,
whose results are recalled in the present Final Report

The present Final Report recalls the entire Study development and incoroporates the comments received by
different Beneficiaries after the Draft Final Report Submission submitted in June 2012.

The STRATEGIC PLANNING STAGE (Phases I and II), described in this Final Report at Chapters 1 to 3, was aimed at

achieving a final definition of the main macro axes of the Arab Core Railway Network;

developing forecasts and projections on the future growth in rail passenger and freight traffic;

defining and preliminarily assessing the infrastructural needs for the realization of the ACRN;

establishing preferred solutions when alternative routes were found along some of the proposed rail
regional connections;

proposing a preliminary ranking of the different projects to the Client and the Beneficiaries.

All the mentioned activities, initially performed considering the network structuring in 18 axes, as introduced
by ESCWA and UAC, were then recalibrated on a smaller and more functional set of 6 conventional MacroAxes (details to be found at Chapter 2.1 of this Final Report), grouped according with the functional roles of
the transportation links included.

FINAL REPORT - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

After having estimated the traffic flows running across a theoretically completed Arab Core Rail Network (see
chapter 2.2), having then estimated the costs associated to all the identified projects (see chapter 2.3), having
finally solved the problem of establishing the right solutions when alternative routes were found along some
of the macro axes of the ACRN (chapter 2.4), all the achieved data were then used to produce a ranking
evaluation of the different projects, making substantial use of the Project Cost-Effectiveness criteria (see
chapter 3.1).
Following this procedure, the Consultant obtained the following substantial results:

the identification of a global ranking of projects for each Macro Axis and for the entire Arab Core
Railway Network;

the identification of three groups of priority projects (subdivided into short term, medium term and
long term) per single Macro Axes and for the entire Arab Core Railway Network, based on logical
assumptions on funds allocation at different time horizons and timeline for practical implementation
of the rail projects;

the corresponding data on lengths and costs associated to each one of the subsequent steps of
realization.

The final map representing the sequence of realization of the entire set of projects identified in the 21
Countries of the Arab League is presented here following

FINAL REPORT - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

At aggregate level (implementation of the entire ACRN) the final figures obtained by this Phase of the Study
were the following:
 total Arab Core Railway Network overall length: about 30,400 km, out of which about 19,000 km of
missing and upgrading links;
 14 independent rail projects (for a total extension of approximately 5,500 km) spread across the entire
Arab region but with a higher concentration in the Middle East area, were considered for a short
period implementation;
 overall investment cost (including civil, technological, land and environmental costs) of almost 89
BUSD, out of which
o

24.6 BUSD for projects of First Priority ranking (29.68 taking into consideration also
engineering phases and first rolling stock investments);

64.1 BUSD for Projects of subsequent priority ranking.

After having completed the Strategic Planning Stage, during the TECHNICAL INSIGHTS STAGE, attention was
focused on the Technical and Economical Insights of the projects included in the first group of priorities, with a
view to achieve the needed inputs for the subsequent Action Plan Stage.

FINAL REPORT - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Phase III (Identification of Route Alignment):


o

a review of the passengers and freights rail demand volumes already evaluated during the Phase II
of the Study, including an analysis of the without project scenario;

a more detailed engineering and alignment study, to obtain the recommended project alignment
and a description of some details (spacing of stations, maintenance workshops and depots, border
crossing installations etc.);

an operating model of the line, based on specific assumptions on rolling stock types, technological
systems and operating systems, aimed at proposing future rail services for both passenger and
freights;

a more accurate evaluation of the capital costs and a new evaluation also of the operating costs of
the line.

Phase IV (Environmental Impact Assessment:


o

a specific environmental analyses dealing with the identified first priority links, including
o

a general description of the corridors from the environmental point of view and of the key
significant (sensitive) components;

an evaluation of the significant impacts and of the mitigation and monitoring strategies
and measures.

Phase V (Economic and Financial Analysis):


o

a revenue, operating, economic and financial model to serve the needs of decision makers aimed
at achieving the typical financial and economic indicators (Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate
of Return (IRR), etc.) within the following analysis:
o

economical;

financial, under the double assumption of i) the entire package of construction + rolling
stock + maintenance of the infrastructure + operation of the line in the hands of one
subject (public or private); ii) only the package of rolling stock + maintenance of the
infrastructure + operation of the line in the hands of a private subject.

By this approach, combining together the contents of the different phases III, IV and V of the study, the
Consultant produced single, self-sustaining Pre-Feasibility Studies of the links at stake, aimed at
o

enabling the Client to produce his specific evaluation in the framework of the overall Arab Rail
Network Study and, at the same,

producing independent and helpful studies, to be possibly used by the involved Beneficiary Country
within a regional or a country strategy.

Even if the projects analysed by Italferr are referred to countries that are very different both in terms of
geographical position and extension and in terms of socio-economic situation, a common thread may be
identified among the different projects. This thread is identified by the results of CBAs that even within
different range of extension follow some common results:

Financial analyses generally give negative results for cases a (including main infrastructure
investment) and differently positive results for cases b (investor exempt from main infrastructure
investment), except for the last considered project (Muscat Sinaw);

Economic analyses generally give positive results.

Results are presented into the following tables that respectively present the values obtained for C/B ratio and
for the IRR (when available)

Marrakech Essaouria (Morocco)

As a general comment, the above results are not far from those encountered by the Consultant during its
previous experience in other project. Negative financial results for railway projects when a full investment
(including infrastructure) is considered are usual. This is generally due to the high initial value of the
investment for the infrastructure: not incidentally, negative results for cases a turn into positive results for
cases b, when the investor is exempted from carrying out the infrastructure investment.
In particular, all the achieved CB Analysis results demonstrated the good economic feasibility of the
investments identified, even under the precautionary hypotheses assumed by the Consultant, who did not
take into account any external benefits (such as safety, environment) of the projects, which would surely
further improve the benefits of the society as a whole.

Even if with different level of details depending on the degree of insight developed, a series of project fiches
was prepared for all the projects needed to be implemented, with the indication of the main results achieved
in the feasibility analysis carried out for the projects 1 to 14 (priority projects, see Chapter 4.3) and during the
Planning Stage for projects 15 to 42 (medium and long term projects, see Chapter 3.4).

ARAB RAILWAY NETWORK STUDY
FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

***
Approaching this large scale, multilateral and multi-regional developmental project necessitated that also
environmental issues were dealt with different levels.
As such, the overall approach used here for identifying environmental benefits, impacts and mitigations was
divided into two levels; namely: (a) a High-Level strategic processes dealing with the complete network as an
integral entity; and (b) a more specific approach dealing with the identified first priority links.
A stepped approach was adopted ensuring that environmental aspects were addressed the whole while. At
the onset, country wide environmental statements were developed providing an overall understanding and
comparison between the state of environment in the different countries comprising the Arab League. This
overall understanding laid the ground for a more detailed environmental vulnerability ranking which
supported the Multi-Criteria Analysis used in three cases to determine the optimal corridor -among several
alternatives- for certain links.
The environmental benefit (sustainability), impact and mitigation were then evaluated at a high-strategic-level
for the entirety of the network.
In particular, in order to quantify the environmental benefits achieved by the future adoption of a TransArab
Railway Scheme, a general estimation was carried out by the Consultant to evaluate the significant major air
pollutants emissions savings obtained considering the assumed diverted freight and passenger traffic volumes
from road to railway.
All of this was further detailed for the 14 priority projects, identifying specific sustainability indicators, possible
impacts, mitigation measurements and monitoring plans for each project. As part of the detailed EIA
environmental sensitivity maps were developed for each project.
See Chapter 5 of this Final Report for a Non Technical Summary of the Environmental Impact Assessment study
carried out for the Arab Railway Network.
***
Based on the technical, environmental and economic framework developed through the previous activities, an
ACTION PLAN STAGE was tackled in the last part of the Study (See Chapter 6 of this Final Report) by the
Consultant, having in mind that not only engineering and technical issues, but also institutional and legal
requirements have to be identified and put in place in order to make the identified regional Arab Core Rail
Network act as one of the pillars of the economic and social development of the Region.
As a matter of fact, to build the infrastructure and to create international interoperable corridors are already
titanic tasks. Nevertheless, the infrastructure is, in itself, a necessary but not sufficient condition. In fact, any
benefit expected by the investment comes just if on this infrastructure a reliable, attractive and competitive
transport service is available at the right time and at the right cost.

A.F.E.S.D
ARAB FUND FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
ARAB RAILWAY NETWORK STUDY
FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In order to allow this process to occur, a primary goal have to be enlighten, that is a substantial reduction of
the obstacles to the international railway traffic in the region. Such a process concerns not only common
technical matters related to infrastructure standards: as well common technical and operational matters
related to rolling stock have to be put in place.
The inherent complexity of the Project, due both to its international scale and technical magnitude, calls for
different levels of political decision process. At the same time a strict relationship among those levels is
required in order to put in the right phase all the actions concerned by the Project.
To match these specifications, a massive effort is required, on one hand to coordinate several organizations,
operating at different levels with different nature, background and behaviour and, on the other hand, to
manage a huge capacity building in many knowledge fields to the benefit of the existing subjects and to the
new ones to be started-up.
An effective governance of the master plan implementation plays therefore a crucial role in the matching
objectives and it must be based on an organizational structure with clear roles and carefully planned tasks.
In accordance with these principles, the Governance architecture proposed by the Consultant and fully
described at Chapter 6 of this Final Report is based on the three following levels:


Level 1: The overall Governance Level

Level 2: The Axes Level

Level 3: The National Level

For the Overall Governance Level (Level 1), a new Arab Railway Network Agency (ARNA) should be created
on purpose under the direct control of LAS, to become the main central actor for the implementation of the
Arab Railway Network. A similar decision was taken in Europe to implement the Trans European Transport
Network when the European Commission created the Executive Agency for the Trans European Transport
Network ( TEN-T EA).
The Axes Level (level 2) will be crucial for bridging the general objectives of the Level 1 into the practical
actions of Level 3. The main focuses should be:
a. coordination
b. political co-decision with mutual obligation among States
c. financing along the axis.
The core function of Level 2 will be to submit for approval to level 1 the project proposal for each of the
projects (14 projects in phase I and 28 projects in phases II and III). For the 14 projects of phase I, the project
proposal should consist in:

17

A.F.E.S.D
ARAB FUND FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
ARAB RAILWAY NETWORK STUDY
FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

i.

The feasibility study

ii.

The financial and legal scheme.

iii.

The commercial agreements among the national railway operators

The organs at National level (Level 3) should consist of a project-office of the Ministry of Transport of the State
and should play a major role to put in practice all the operational functions of the program, such as the
management of the detailed design of each project, the project procurement phases, the project
commissioning, testing and supervision.
Tab. E.9: Organization Chart for the Governance Architecture

Another crucial point to be faced at overall level is the identification of common technical standards for
railways, which is not only a problem related to technical contents and knowledge, but also to the actors of
the institutional framework. As far as interoperability is concerned, a specific branch of the Agency should
represent the operative tool at supranational level and be in charge of the task of Arab common Technical
Standards for Interoperability (ATSIs) preparation for the approval at the supranational political level.

A.F.E.S.D
ARAB FUND FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
ARAB RAILWAY NETWORK STUDY
FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Arab railway systems have to evolve towards organisational forms able to develop commercial and
business orientation, with the provision of international services being one of the preferential field to reach
such a target. The range of interoperability guaranteed by the future network could help railways to
concentrate the efforts on the field of commercial cooperation, developing form of alliances able to catch the
market opportunities. A cooperative model among railway undertakings (service operators) suggests the
possibility to create different kind of collaboration among railways operators in order to prepare the future
options of the competitive model according to the evolution of the overall integration trend of the Arab
region. A series of commercial agreements for international traffic, for both passenger and freight services, is
presented at the end of the Action Plan Chapter.
A time bound program, covering all the activities to be done to reach the activation of the service on the newly
constructed/reconstructed lines

belonging to the 14 first priority projects has been evaluated and an

approximate duration of 10 years is envisaged.


The engineering activities (feasibility study, detailed design, construction) take in total from 69 to 89 months,
according with the length of the line (from 300 up to 600 kilometers). A considerable lapse of time is needed to
build up the institutional and governance framework of the whole program, and for the necessary decision and
approval time from phase to phase of the projects. The assumption for the needed time evaluation,
postulating the absence of major political or financial blockages to reach the necessary consensus by the
deciders, may be considered reasonable and prudential.

FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FRENCH VERSION

La Rgion arabe est caractrise par une pluralit de systmes politiques et de structures conomiques. De la
mme manire, l'industrie ferroviaire montre un haut degr d'htrognit, s'tendant de l'absence
complte de chemins de fer l'existence d'un rseau dvelopp avec des niveaux de trafic de premire
importance.
Nanmoins, la tendance croissante d'intgration/les processus de coopration qui progressent dans la rgion
arabe sont vidents. Une telle tendance implique une varit de questions (dveloppement de projets
d'infrastructures rgionales, accords commerciaux communs) diffrents niveaux politiques ( partir du
niveau des pays limitrophes au niveau de la Ligue arabe) et prsente des perspectives ambitieuses et long
terme d'un march conomique unique.
Dans le secteur spcifique des transports, vu l'inclination des pays arabes la mise en place de rseaux de
chemin de fer locaux et rgionaux, et compte tenu des avantages conomiques et sociaux du transport
ferroviaire en tant qu'alternative de transport fiable et sre, il est devenu crucial d'baucher un schma global
du rseau de chemin de fer arabe, incorporant les rseaux ferroviaires existants et ceux prvus, permettant :
i)

la connexion de ces rseaux sur les axes principaux,

ii)

la dfinition de ses lments, de ses caractristiques et de ses procdures oprationnelles et

iii)

la dfinition des bases pour connecter les pays arabes avec les pays avoisinants.

Le Projet du Rseau ferroviaire arabe vise donc la cration d'un systme ferroviaire rgional interoprable,
complet et moderne.
En consquence, la mise en uvre d'un futur rseau ferroviaire arabe principal est un des plus grands et plus
ambitieux projet mondial du XXI me sicle. Il traduit la vision des tats de la Ligue Arabe, reprsente par le
Conseil des ministres arabes du transport, qui a identifi l'achvement des liaisons intrieures (la route et le
rail) entre tous les Etats membres, comme une priorit de premier ordre pour le dveloppement de leurs
territoires.
Ce travail d'infrastructure, concernant un territoire 13, 3 millions de km2, comprenant l'Afrique du Nord et
une grande partie du Moyen-Orient, reprsente une des tapes d'un plus grand plan gnral visant le
dveloppement conomique et l'amlioration des conditions de vie d'environ 360 millions de citoyens arabes.
Le projet concerne tous les pays membres de la Ligue des tats arabes, l'exception des les Comores, cest
dire: L'Egypte, l'Irak, la Jordanie, le Liban, l'Arabie Saoudite, la Syrie, le Ymen, la Libye, le Soudan, le Maroc, la
Tunisie, le Kowet, l'Algrie, les Emirats Arabes Unis (UAE), le Bahren, le Qatar, l'Oman, la Mauritanie, la
Somalie, la Palestine, et Djibouti.

FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

En regardant la situation actuelle des connexions de transport au sein des pays arabes l'ampleur de l'effort que
reprsente le projet du point de vue technique est notable. D'autre part, il est important de noter que non
seulement les problmes techniques et d'ingnierie mais galement les exigences institutionnelles doivent
tre identifies et prises en compte afin de faire en sorte que le rseau reprsente un des piliers du
dveloppement conomique et social de la rgion arabe.
En fait, le facteur cl du succs du projet du rseau de chemin de fer arabe sera un dveloppement tangible
des services de chemin de fer internationaux, tant du fret et que des passagers. La forte augmentation du
trafic international, bien au-del du faible niveau actuel, favorisera la viabilit conomique et financire du
projet sur le long terme. En d'autres termes, un point crucial du projet est de garantir non seulement la
construction d'une infrastructure autonome mais aussi de faire en sorte qu'il soit effectivement une colonne
portante du trafic.
La complexit de ce projet se manifeste aussi par les caractristiques technico-opratoires associes relatives
l'extension gographique importante des travaux qui amne considrer un nombre trs lev de projets
ferroviaires thoriquement intressants, le dveloppement parallle des projets nationaux conduits par
diffrents facteurs et le besoin d'offrir un cadre technique permettant des choix politiques quilibrs
impliquant les aspects environnementaux, institutionnels et socio-conomiques.
AFESD (le Fond Arabe pour le Dveloppement Economique et Social) a t commis pour financer l'tude du
rseau de chemin de fer arabe, pour la mise en uvre de ce projet, dans le but de dfinir, sur la base des
tudes et des plans disponibles, les axes ferroviaires principaux du rseau et d'en analyser sa faisabilit du
point de vue technique, de l'environnement et conomico-financiers, conformment aux dlais prvus et aux
rglements locaux et internationaux.
En particulier, les objectifs plus larges du projet sont :
 Fournir une vision complte de l'intgration et des connexions des rseaux ferroviaires arabes, en
suggrant les chances temporelles et les conditions pour leurs mises en uvre.
 Mettre en vidence les sections et les couloirs manquants sur les majeurs axes rgionaux reliant les
pays arabes, ainsi que d'en tablir leurs spcifications techniques.
 Proposer un classement des projets ferroviaires d'intrt rgional par le biais des valuations des
transports, de l'ingnierie, des aspects environnementaux et conomiques, et planifier leur mise en
uvre en fonction de l'importance stratgique et du retour sur investissement attendu.

Mme si les projets analyss par Italferr se rfrent des pays qui sont trs diffrents tant
en termes de position gographique et d'tendue quen termes de situation socioconomique, un dnominateur commun peut tre identifi parmi les diffrents projets. Ce
thme est identifi par les rsultats de CBA qui, mme au sein de diffrentes gammes
d'extension, suivent quelques rsultats communs:

Les analyses financires donnent gnralement des rsultats ngatifs pour les cas

les projets de 1 14 (projets prioritaires, voir chapitre 4.3) et au cours de la phase de
planification pour les projets de 15 42 (projets moyen et long terme, voir chapitre 3.4).
***
L'approche de ce projet de dveloppement grande chelle, multilatral et multi-rgional a
ncessit que les questions environnementales soient traites galement diffrents
niveaux.
En tant que tel, l'approche globale utilise ici pour identifier les avantages pour
l'environnement, les impacts et les mesures d'attnuation a t divis en deux niveaux,
savoir: (a) un processus de haut niveau stratgiques traitant de l'ensemble du rseau en tant
qu'entit intgrante, et (b) une approche plus spcifique portant sur les liaisons identifies
comme prioritaires.
Une approche graduelle a t adopte pour s'assurer que les aspects de l'environnement
ont t abords de manire globale. Au dbut, les dclarations sur l'environnement au
niveau des pays ont t labores pour fournir une comprhension et une comparaison
globale sur l'tat de l'environnement dans les diffrents pays faisant partie de la Ligue
Arabe. Cette comprhension globale a jet les bases pour un classement de vulnrabilit
environnementale plus dtaill qui a apport un soutien l'analyse multi-critres utilise
dans trois cas afin de dterminer le couloir optimal - parmi plusieurs alternatives - pour
certaines liaisons.
Le bnfice environnemental (dveloppement durable), l'impact et l'attnuation ont ensuite
t valus un haut niveau stratgique pour l'ensemble du rseau.
En particulier, afin de quantifier les avantages environnementaux obtenus par la future
adoption d'un systme ferroviaire trans-arabe, une estimation gnrale a t ralise par le
consultant pour valuer les importantes rductions d'mission des majeurs polluants
atmosphriques obtenues en considrant le dtournement prsum des volumes de trafic
fret et passagers de la route au rail.
Tout cela a t davantage dtaill pour les 14 projets prioritaires, en identifiant des
indicateurs de durabilit spcifiques, les impacts possibles, des mesures d'attnuation et des
plans de surveillance pour chaque projet. Dans le cadre de la sensibilit dEIA pour
l'environnement, des cartes ont t labores pour chaque projet.

FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Bas sur un cadre technique, environnemental et conomique dvelopp au travers des


activits prcdentes, le PLAN D'ACTION A ETAPES" a t abord dans la dernire partie de
l'tude (voir le chapitre 6 du prsent rapport final) par le Consultant, ayant l'esprit non
seulement les problmes d'ordre technique et d'ingnierie, mais aussi les exigences
institutionnelles et juridiques identifis et considres afin de rendre l'acte du rseau
ferroviaire principal Arabe l'un des piliers du dveloppement conomique et social de la
rgion.
Il est un fait que construire l'infrastructure et crer des corridors internationaux
interoprables sont dj tches titanesques. Nanmoins, l'infrastructure est, en soi, une
condition ncessaire mais non suffisante. En fait, tout bnfice attendu par
l'investissement arrive seulement si cette infrastructure un service de transport fiable,
attractif et comptitif est disponible au bon moment et au bon cot.
Afin de permettre ce processus de se produire, un objectif principal sur lequel il fait tre
clair, c'est la rduction substantielle des obstacles la circulation ferroviaire
internationale dans la rgion. Un tel processus ne concerne pas seulement les questions
techniques communes relatives aux normes des infrastructures: mais aussi des questions
techniques et oprationnelles communes lies au matriel roulant doivent tre prises en
compte.
La complexit inhrente au projet, en raison la fois de son chelle internationale et son
ampleur technique, appelle diffrents niveaux du processus de dcisions politiques. Dans
le mme temps une relation stricte entre ces niveaux est ncessaire afin de placer dans les
phases appropries toutes les actions concernes par le projet.
Pour rpondre ces spcifications, un effort important est ncessaire, d'une part pour
coordonner plusieurs organisations, agissant des niveaux diffrents et de nature,
expriences et comportements diffrents, et d'autre part de grer un norme
renforcement des capacits dans de nombreux domaines de connaissances au profit des
sujets existants et aux nouveaux devant tre mis en place.
Une gouvernance efficace de l'excution du plan directeur joue donc un rle crucial dans
les objectifs correspondants et elle doit tre fonde sur une structure organisationnelle
avec des rles clairs et des tches soigneusement planifies.
Conformment ces principes, l'architecture de gouvernance propos par le Consultant et
dcrite en dtail au chapitre 6 du prsent rapport final est base sur les trois niveaux
suivants:


Niveau 1: La gouvernance globale

34

A.F.E.S.D
ARAB FUND FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
ARAB RAILWAY NETWORK STUDY
FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Niveau 2: Le niveau des axes

Niveau 3: Le niveau national

Pour le niveau de gouvernance globale (niveau 1), une nouvelle "Agence du rseau
ferroviaire arabe (ARNA)" doit tre cr dans le but, sous le contrle direct de la LAS, pour
devenir le principal acteur central pour la mise en uvre du rseau ferroviaire arabe. Une
dcision similaire a t prise en Europe pour mettre en uvre le rseau de transport
transeuropen, lorsque la Commission europenne a cr l'agence excutive pour le
rseau transeuropen de transport (RTE-T EA)
Le niveau des axes (niveau 2) sera crucial pour transformer les objectifs gnraux de
Niveau 1 en actions concrtes de niveau 3. Les principaux objectifs doivent tre:
a. la coordination
b. politique de co-dcision avec obligation mutuelle entre les tats
c. financement pour les axes
La fonction de base de niveau 2 sera de soumettre pour approbation au niveau 1 la
"proposition de projet" pour chacun des projets (14 projets en phase I et 28 projets en
phases II et III). Pour les 14 projets de la phase I, la proposition de projet doit consister en:
i.

L'tude de faisabilit

ii.

Le rgime financier et juridique.

iii.

Les accords commerciaux entre les oprateurs ferroviaires nationaux

Les organes au niveau national (niveau 3) doivent consister en un bureau de projets du


ministre des transports de l'tat et doivent jouer un rle majeur pour mettre en pratique
toutes les fonctions oprationnelles du programme, telles que la gestion de la conception
dtaille de chaque projet, les phases de passation des marchs du projet, le projet de mise
en service, les essais et la supervision.

Tab. E.9: Organisation de larchitecture de gouvernance du projet

Un autre point crucial auquel il faut se confronter au niveau global est l'identification de
normes techniques communes pour les chemins de fer, ce qui n'est pas seulement un
problme li au contenu et aux connaissances techniques, mais aussi pour les acteurs du
cadre institutionnel. En ce qui concerne l'interoprabilit, une branche spcifique de
l'agence doit reprsenter l'outil oprationnel au niveau supranational et doit se charger de la
prparation des normes techniques communes pour l'interoprabilit (ATSIs) pour
l'approbation au niveau politique supranational.
Les systmes ferroviaires arabes doivent voluer vers des formes d'organisation capables de
dvelopper l'orientation commerciale et d'affaires, avec la fourniture de services
internationaux tant l'un des domaines prfrentiels pour atteindre un tel objectif. La
gamme d'interoprabilit garantie par le futur rseau pourrait aider les chemins de fer
concentrer les efforts dans le domaine de la coopration commerciale, en dveloppant des
formes d'alliances capables de saisir les opportunits du march. Un modle de coopration
entre entreprises ferroviaires (exploitant des services) suggre la possibilit de crer
diffrents types de collaborations entre les exploitants des chemins de fer afin de prparer

l'intgration globale de la rgion arabe. Une srie d'accords commerciaux pour le trafic
international, tant pour les services passagers que fret, est prsente la fin du chapitre
Plan d'action.
Un programme limit dans le temps, couvrant toutes les activits devant tre effectues
pour parvenir l'activation du service sur les lignes nouvelles/reconstruites appartenant aux
14 projets prioritaires a t valu sur une dure approximative envisage de 10 ans.
Les activits d'ingnierie (tude de faisabilit, conception dtaille, construction) ont une
dure totale de 69 89 mois, en fonction de la longueur de la ligne (de 300 jusqu' 600 km).
Un laps de temps considrable est ncessaire pour mettre en place le cadre institutionnel et
la gouvernance de l'ensemble du programme, et pour la dcision qui s'impose et le dlai
d'approbation de phase en phase des projets. De toute vidence, l'hypothse pour
l'valuation du temps ncessaire postule l'absence de blocages politiques ou financiers

ferroviaires existants que ceux prvus et permettant la connexion de ces rseaux
dans les grands axes ainsi que la dfinition de ses lments, les spcifications et les

FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Non seulement les problmes d'ingnierie et de technique mais galement les


exigences institutionnelles et lgales doivent tre prises en compte afin de faire en
sorte que le rseau reprsente un des piliers du dveloppement conomique et
social de la rgion arabe.

14 projets ferroviaires indpendants (pour une extension totale d'environ 5.500 km


sur l'extension totale des tronons de voies construire/moderniser, de 19,000 km),
rpartis sur toute la rgion arabe, mais avec une concentration plus leve dans la
rgion du Moyen-Orient, doivent tre mis en uvre court terme (dlai de cinq
dix ans);

Tous ces projets ont t soumis un approfondissement technique spcifique,


conomique et financier et tous les rsultats obtenus par les analyses de CB ont t
dmontrs de faon trs significative
o

la bonne faisabilit conomique des investissements identifis;

la bonne faisabilit financire de la majorit des projets, en supposant que


l'investisseur est exempt de l'investissement des infrastructures (cas b
dvelopp dans les analyses financires spcifiques de CB);

Un effort important est ncessaire ds maintenant pour coordonner plusieurs


organisations, agissant des niveaux diffrents et de nature, expriences et
comportements diffrents, et d'autre part grer un norme renforcement des
capacits dans de nombreux domaines de connaissances

au profit des sujets

existants et aux nouveaux devant tre mis en place.

Une gouvernance efficace de l'excution du plan directeur joue un rle crucial dans
les objectifs correspondants et elle doit tre fonde sur une structure
organisationnelle avec des rles clairs et des tches soigneusement planifies
conformment au trois niveaux suivants:


Niveau 1: Le niveau de gouvernance global;

 Niveau 2: Le niveau des axes;


 Niveau 3: Le niveau national.

Un autre point crucial auquel se confronter au niveau global est l'identification de


normes techniques pour l'interoprabilit des chemins de fer communes pour les
chemins de fer (ATSIs), ce qui n'est pas seulement un problme li au contenu et aux
connaissances techniques, mais aussi aux acteurs du cadre institutionnel.

FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Le choix des modes d'accs au rgime du rseau ferroviaire arabe en projet apparat
comme une question difficile. En effet, les interrelations croissantes entre les pays
ne concernent pas seulement les rgles relatives l'utilisation de l'infrastructure,
mais aussi toute l'architecture juridique des systmes ferroviaires. Le modle
coopratif, fond sur la collaboration des chemins de fer nationaux, est la solution
recommande pour la premire phase de services internationaux.

L'exprience europenne montre que ce modle est un outil adquat pour assurer
des services internationaux dans un contexte de fragmentation nationale des
chemins de fer et peut tre adapt une grande gamme de collaboration entre les
oprateurs.
