Rail Logistics Improvement Project

The objective of the Rail Logistics Improvement Project for Turkey is to reduce transport costs in selected rail freight corridors and to strengthen institutional capacity at the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MoTI) to deliver rail freight connectivity and manage rail-enabled logistics centers. The Project has three components. 1. Construction of Railway Branch Lines and Multimodal Connections at Priority Network Nodes component will finance the provision of last-mile rail connectivity at well-prioritized portions of the Turkish railway network. 1.1. Last-mile Multimodal Connectivity at Filyos Port subcomponent will finance 100 percent of civil works and 100 percent of engineering design review and construction supervision consulting services for the provision of rail and road connectivity at the last mile directly to/from the greenfield, large-scale maritime port of Filyos, on Turkey’s Black Sea coast, and its adjacent industrial zone. 1.2. Last-mile Rail Connectivity for Çukurova Region Industrial Zones and Iskenderun Bay Maritime Ports subcomponent will finance 100 percent of civil works and 100 percent of engineering design review and construction supervision consulting services for the construction of branch line rail links to/from selected operational and prospective industrial zones and free zones in the Çukurova region of South-Central Turkey on the Mediterranean Coast. 1.3. Provision of Last-mile Rail Connectivity at Additional Priority Sites to be Selected During Implementation subcomponent will finance 100 percent of civil works to provide last-mile rail connectivity to an additional 2 to 3 cargo generation-attraction nodes of similar nature as those targeted under Sub-components 1.1 and 1.2 that remain disconnected from the national railway network. 2.
