IMS with annual volume of 2010 very satisfied
Vienna, 2. February 2011 - The IMS-driven volume within the group grows in 2010 to 190,000 TEU's
With almost 190,000 TEUs handled and a consolidated turnover of EUR 51 million the fiscal year 2010 for IMS came to an end.
About 120,000 TEUs were attributable to the combined transport and 70,000 TEUs to theTrain operating.
"With the significant volume increase over 2009, we are very satisfied, " says Wolfgang Tomassovich, CEO of IMS, "less with the margin development."
Thus, in comparison to 2009, the revenue per TEU decreased by about 15%, increased the cost of services but up to 5%. This drop is due to the huge competitive pressure on the northern ports - Austria axle.
"In 2010 there were increasing despite the significant amounts of too much capacity, " explains Tomassovich.
"Beginning of 2011 this eased slightly, however, the imbalance on many routes is a very high risk fact. This does not allow optimal utilization, which charged down the income. Nor could the annual price increases for energy and route will only be used in part to the customers. "
