In 2006, there were 42.4 thousand., In 2007, 56.3 thousand. And, in 2008, 62.9 thousand. Separate statistics for reefer containers are carried out only for two years and shows them that every year there are approximately 5.9 port thousand. And here there is another problem.

The existing base of container at the quay in the Czech Szczecin port is used for a maximum of their abilities. So there’s no chance for additional containers and refrigerated. The situation may change after the scheduled later this year launch a new container terminal at Ostrów Grabowski. The operator – the company PCC Port Szczecin announces that there will be more than 200 special sockets for refrigerated shipping cargo containers.

Lack of prospect on correction on market of cargo vehicle

First half of this year stood under the sign of the slow stabilization of prices of used trucks. However, this period has ended, and the market again reacted negatively to the very weak demand. Value tractors Euro 2 and Euro 3 in recent months have plummeted. Particularly affected are the cheapest brands on the market (Iveco, Renault), which was caused by the availability of more and more prestigious brands at attractive prices, writes in his report EurotaxGlass.

Demand on tractors Euro 3 is limited practically to vehicles from years 2004-2006 and dates only from national carriers. Older cars are directed on export to eastern Europe countries however their prices are now very low. International carriers are on shopping of tractor euro 5 and so, they keep value from several months on more or less constant horizontal. Besides, they are still quite expensive in western Europe and In polish offer of commission they appear as vehicles from vindication. From the point of view of high rate euro, import of vehicle from western European markets is still not profitable. Demand slowly recedes on truck tractors Euro 4. In present moment it is transitional norm which will not assure proper increments resulting from difference in price and washing on German highways. Values of these vehicles in prospect of several months should be leveled with Euro 3 – serves EurotaxGlass’s.

Visible is decrease of interest with distributional vehicles with DMC 7,518 tones. It is appearance of crisis on national market what can be also noticed in big decrease of sale of delivery vehicles.
Demand on construction cars is still small but on constant level. Sensible is decrease of prices on used dumpers what shows slow saturation on construction cars market.
Slopes of new cars form 2008 peter out. Due to attractive price, importers successively dispose slope cars. Their sale will cause big increase of prices, vehicles from 2009 are more expensive, also in case of keeping high euro rate. With certitude it not remaining without influence on youngest, used trucks. In split of that economic situation not entourage, we deal with good moment on new shopping of transport camp.

From point of view of demand, in perspective of several months to expect greatest changes. However, from the point of view of prices used vehicles, tractors units euro 3 and older will cheapen and Euro 5 but remaining on constant, high level. In this situation at permanently growing difference between Euro 5 and Euro 3. It would belong to begin shopping of youngest tractor consider euro 3 because lower price of buying will leveling the costs of bigger myth and constructional Euro 3 is easier and cheaper in attendance vehicle.

More and more buses from Poland

Sector of leasing in Poland

Operative leasing and new legal solutions let decrease results of crisis and contribute to development of industry.

One from industries, which in first sequences reacted on appearance of crisis is leasing sector. After dynamic increase in 2007 year and at the beginning of 2008 became time of stagnation. Now leasing industry defends himself suggesting new legal solutions which – in opinion of inventive persons let decrease effects of crisis and contribute to development of industry.

“In situation of economic slowdown when effects of our investments are power of thing deferred in time, very important is proper fitting in time costs to expected incomes due to leasing it became possible because in operative leasing repayment of capital we regard as cost of obtainable of income and his schedule in time we can optionally form. In time of crisis businessman’s are going to decrease costs, they try to their capital expenditures was very rational” – say Andrzej Sugajski, director of Association of polish leasing organization banding leasing firms which represent 90% of market.

Difficulties on market particularly has touched transport industry which in last years try to fit with new requirements, especially after joining Poland to European Union And cope with growing competition. General promoted ago climate of economic SITUATION and dynamic growth of economy. In effect, leasing industry in 2007 year achieve in ways of transport sector record result: For application has been gave vehicles which value totaled 19,5 mld of PLN from that 7,2 mld are saddle tractors with semi-trailers and trailers. Few months later situation has been changed – good situation in industry has braked by the reason of growing prices of petroleum and strengthening PLN.

First symptoms of decrease interest of special ways of transport have appeared already in first half of 2008 year. In second half, situation was only worse first of all on result decrease of order on transport favor then it was caused crisis deepening on international markets. From ZPL data result that in all 208 year corporations leased truck tractors units with semi-trailers and trailers which vale totaled 4,9 mld PLN what mean 32% decrease of value of recently included agreements in this segment of market. In case of market of transport ways last period was hard equal for lease firms as well as clients. Influence of that not only related with decrease national investments more less demand on leasing services but also high increase of costs of sponsorship of activities and limit of possibility of raise funds for this purpose.

Economic slowdown with which we hale currently for action causes deterioration of liquidity of financial polish but that goes behind inconvenience with attendance of net debt concedes Piotr Warmuża, department head of cooperation with suppliers in European lease fund SA.
