Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response

Depending on the type, nature and location of a potential emergency situation, the Ministry of

Defence could grand permission for the use of some of its – limited – assets. This would be

mainly limited to some all terrain trucking capacity and possibly some light air transport

(helicopters and fixed wing aircraft).

2.3 Georgia Regulatory Departments

The 3 testing laboratories visited by the consultant are engaged in chemical and physical

testing of food products (in most cases, wine and mineral water). The first one, Multitest Ltd

Laboratory, is a private laboratory, quite well equipped and with very convenient premises. It

has some relationship with the Exporters Association. Most of its personnel seem to be very

qualified and experienced. The laboratory has initial plans to enlarge its activities to a

microbiological analysis. The management of the laboratory has expressed interest in initiation

of activities to implement a quality management system and eventually become accredited

according to ISO 17025.

The second laboratory, Wine Laboratory, is accountable to the Wine Quality Foundation

established by wine producers and the State (represented by the Ministry of Agriculture);

therefore, its independence from political and corporative sector raises certain concerns. Its

http://reliefweb.int/map/georgia/georgia-who-what-where-3w-map-26-mar-2009

Georgia

Version 12 16

activities have been supported by GTZ (Germany). The laboratory is quite well equipped; the

technical staff is young, but has received the appropriate training, both in Georgia and

Germany. The German specialists come on a regular basis to give further hands-on training.

The Laboratory has a microbiology section but the consultant was not able to visit it. Its Director

has signaled that he was not interested either in additional technical support as the GTZ project

is covering their needs or accreditation according to international standards at this stage. The

third laboratory is Norma Laboratory. It is a private laboratory that has been developed with

many efforts, but it needs a general rehabilitation in equipment, technical staff and premises.

The owner has shown his willingness to upgrade the present facilities and introduce ISO/IEC

17025, but he lacks the necessary funds to carry on such upgrading.

Transit Regime

Transit of goods and vehicles means the movement of goods and/or vehicles between foreign

countries through the territory of Georgia without payment of import duties and application of

non-tariff measures. During the transit regime, after all procedures have been completed, the

goods and transport vehicles have 10 days after the Day of Call to leave the territory of Georgia.

There is a customs service fee for inspection and clearance of goods in transit, and temporary

entry, including goods intended for exhibition.

The declarant or transporter of goods shall submit a guarantee to customs officials.

Goods transported through the territory of Georgia are exempt from customs duty, VAT, and

excise taxes

On 16th April 1999, Georgia acceded to the Convention and Statute on Freedom of Transit of

April 1921, the Convention on Transit Trade of Land-Locked States (New York, July 1965), and

the International Convention on the Harmonization of Frontier Control of Goods (Geneva 1982)

Version 12 28

Discharge Rates and Terminal Handling Charges

Port tariffs are determined in accordance with the Maritime Code of Georgia, Civil Code of

Georgia, Georgian law and other legislative acts relating to transport rules and regulations

according to the legislative normative act. Tariffs are established according to the vessel

conditional volume, which is determined with international measurement certificate or according

to - LOA of vessel, breadth and moulded depth. Barges and other floating objects combination

volumes are determined as sum of separate elements. All charges for services should be paid

by forwarder (ship-owner, freighter) or by vessel agent before any vessel leaves from port.

In the case of non-payment of service tariffs and fines, the Port Administration Office will

provide written notice and the Harbour Master who is permitted to refuse permission for the

vessel to leave the port. Lighter ships, which carry out loading operations on internal and

external roadstead, pay tariffs according to the lighter volume, which will be given at time of

vessel call in port and will receive at time of leaving the port.

Services which are conducted during holidays incur a 25% surcharge for every vessel. Holidays

are defined according to the labour law of Georgia. All kinds of service should be in detail

decoded in the bill presented to ship-owner, included service carried out during the holidays.

For the calculation of service fees, times rounded-up for each 30 minutes. Therefore, less than

30 minutes will be counted as half an hour and more than 30 minutes will be charged as 1

hour. Payment of tonnage, channel, berthing, sanitary inspection service and watchman tariffs

are carried out once and will be paid per operation, by which a vessel arrived to the port.

Port Overview

The Port of Batumi is only 15 km from the border with Turkey in the Autonomous Republic of

Adjara. The port has 12 berths, four of which can be used for the unloading cereal cargo, either

in bulk or in bags. The port has gradually specialised itself in the export of petroleum products

that reach Batumi from Azerbaijan by rail and pipeline. The Port of Batumi serves as an

alternative to the Port of Poti, but is less well served by the Georgian railways which has only a

single rail serving as railway link for the port/quays. The freight costs from Batumi are also

higher than those from Poti. Batumi faces the same weather constraints as Poti, i.e. wind and

rain in autumn that can affect to some extend the entrance of vessels in the port.

Port Performance

Bagged cargo is discharged at a maximum rate of 1,000 mt for two hatches per day. In reality,

often lower rates are achieved – especially a result of the delays obtained by waiting for railway

wagons. Bulk cargo is discharged at some 2,000 mt for two hatches, again facing the same

constraints. Containers can be discharged in Batumi, but with quite a lot of effort, as no facilities

are available and the vessel’s cranes have to be used in combination with the shore cranes

(which are not in optimum condition). There is no specialised container terminal in the

port. Cereal cargo – and other bagged cargo – is normally discharged directly into railway

wagons, as the –open – storage space in the port is limited. There is no functional covered

storage space inside the port complex.

Georgia Roads

For information on Georgia road network contact details, please see the following link:


The condition of the highways in Georgia is reasonably good. When road conditions are poor

on the major roads, four wheel drive vehicles are advisable. Especially during winter snow, fog

and ice can be a problem in the mountainous parts of the country. In mountainous regions the

roads can be narrow and slopes are sometimes steep, which in combination with bad

conditions can limit the cargo that can be transported, this however is only the case in specific

regions like Lechkhumi, Upper Swaneti, mountainous part of Racha and Imereti

There is sufficient transport capacity in the country, which consists mainly Soviet built trucks

(Gaz, Kamaz, Ural, Maz) including 4x4 and 6x6 wheel drive trucks with capacity varying from

10 mt to more than 30 mt. The highways can easily handle these large trucks including trailers.

Georgia

Version 12 46

On specific mountain roads the capacity is limited to about 10 mt or less depending on the

slope and road conditions. During the winter period, mountainous roads can be subjected to fog

and snow, making them difficult to negotiate. The spring rains and/or melting snow can make

minor mountain road covered by mud.

The main road transport route through Georgia runs from the border with Turkey in Sarpi along

the coast to Ureki (S-2), from where it cuts eastwards via Samtredia (S-12), Kutaisi (S-1),

Zestaphoni, Khasuri and Gori to Tbilisi. Beyond Tbilisi the highway splits in a route along

Rustavi (S-9 and S-4) to the border with Azerbaidjan and another to the border with Armenia (S-

6 and S-7). Another highway route goes from Tbilisi to the Kaheti region (S-5). The “Military

Highway” (S-3) goes north from Tbilisi up the Kazbegi pass where it crosses into Russia. Due

to the existing political and security situation, the Roki tunnel (S-10) in South-Ossetia and the

border crossing point in Leselidze in Abkhzia (S-1) are not accessible for regular road transport

originating from Georgia proper. Another secondary highway route runs along the Turkish

border from Sarpi to Akhaltsikhe, from where it joins the Kutaisi – Tbilisi highway via Borjomi at

Khasuri. The main border crossing with Turkey is in Sarpi at the Black Sea coast. A less

frequently used, but still important border crossing point with Turkey is Vale, a few kilometers

from Akhaltiskhe. The main border crossings with Armenia are at Sadakhlo and Mughalo.

Trucks coming from Turkey in Vale tend to use the short cut into Armenia via Akhakalaki and

Ninotsminda (S-11)

All these highways – with the exception of those crossing mountain passes (S-3 and S-5 and

the route from Sarpi along the Turkish border) – can be used by large trucks with 20 mt – or

more – capacity all through the year. There is no toll levying on the highways, though foreign

registered vehicles need to pay a kind of road tax when entering the country. The S-1 highway

has a tunnel – with alternative mountain trail – between Zestaphoni and Khashuri for which a

small toll fee is levied. All river crossings are by means of bridges, not ferries.

3.5 Georgia Railway Assessment

Georgia Railways

Georgian Railway LLC (GR) intends to improve the safety and efficiency of their railway

operations by constructing a new section of railway track bypassing the central part of Tbilisi

and upgrading the existing stations of Didube and Navtlughi. GR has approached the European

Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) to

finance the Tbilisi Railway Bypass project.

According to Georgian law, the potential environmental impacts of the project must be

evaluated by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process and documented in an

environmental impact statement. As part of their decision-making process, EBRD and EIB

require an evaluation of the proposed project through an Environmental and Social Impact

Assessment (ESIA) that meets EBRD and some other international guidelines. The

development of both, the Georgian EIA and EBRD’s ESIA are being consolidated into one

process and documented in this single report.

The railroad is the main mode of transport for cargo that arrives in Georgia through the ports of

Poti and Batumi. The Georgian railroad also serves the two other landlocked south Caucasus

countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan. There is also a link with the Russian Federation that runs

through the rebellious region of Abkhazia and which therefore is in disuse

Georgia

Version 12 49

From the coast the railroad travels through West Georgia via the town of Kutaisi, through the

mountains, to Tbilisi. From here it travels further to Yerevan in Armenia and Baku in

Azerbaijan. There are also a number of minor lines servicing the major towns of the different

regions in Georgia. The freight transportation maximum in Caucasus (Georgia and Armenia)

was in 1985 and reached 63.1 million mt

However, after disintegration of a former USSR economical links were broken up and freight

transportation fell down to 4.6 million mt by 1995 but in the following years the volume moved

increased

Specific gravity of Georgian railway in every kind of the freight transportation is about 90%.

Existing technical equipment makes possible Georgian railway to transit 25-30 million mt of

cargo per year. Within the Georgian setting the railways can be considered as one of the few

(semi-) Government systems that operate quite efficiently. This is among others the result of

the realization that due to its strategic position relative to the two other Southern Caucasus

countries, it has a major role as transit country with the nearest port. In addition, construction of

the new link connecting Azeri and Georgian railway systems to turkey has been agreed

between the 3 countries but construction has not started yet due to tender announcement

3.6 Georgia Waterways Assessment

Georgia Waterways

The longest rivers in Georgia are:

1. Alazani – 390 km in length with a catchment basin of 12,000 km²

2. Kura – 351 km in length with a catchment basin of 21,100 km²

3. Rioni – 333 km in length with a catchment basin of 13,400 km²

4. Enguri – 206 km in length with a catchment basin of 4,100 km²

The biggest lakes in Georgia are:

1. Paravan – with a surface area of 37.5 km³

2. Kartsakhi – with a surface area of 26.3 km³

Waterways of Georgia

Water supply in the country is on the average level and a safe drinking water supply is the key

component of the general objective to ensure the environmental safety and health of people in

Georgia. At present, all 85 cities and districts of Georgia are provided with centralized water

systems. There are a total of 156 major water intakes. Drinking water is mainly withdrawn from

the ground sources. A total design capacity of the ground drinking water sources is 3.1 million

Georgia

Version 12 51

m³ a day. Waste water discharge systems operate in 41 cities and districts, 30 of which have

waste water treatment plants of total design capacity equal to 1.6 million m³ a day (including

regional treatment facilities in Gardabansky District with a capacity of 1.0 million. m³ a day,

which serve Tbilisi and Rustavi). The total length of waterways and water distribution networks

in Georgia is 9,500 km and a length of wastewater networks and sewers is 4,000 km

3.7 Georgia Storage Assessment

During the Soviet days warehouses were set up in all major urban centres of Georgia. With the

collapse of the Soviet Union, much of the infrastructure has become dysfunctional. Many of

these warehouses have access to the railroad. Every major town along the railroad network

has warehouses with railway access. Should warehousing capacity still be short, one could

look into a number of the factory buildings that are no longer in use. Some improvements

(cleaning, removal of hardware, installing of security devises etc.) will be necessary, but it

should be cheaper than importing mobile storage units, such as Wiikhalls, and the like. As a

result of the industrial past of the country during the Soviet days and the high unemployment

rate, it is not difficult to find skilled labourers. Warehouse management staff and logisticians

generally need some training, but with the gradual increasing activities of a number of Western

Joint Venture companies, skilled staff becomes more available.

3.8 Georgia Milling Assessment

All main milling listed below were constructed during the Soviet time. Specifications and

requirement of these mills were according to ex-Soviet standards. All mills have railway sidings

for delivery of wheat grain from the port. Most of them are partly operational. due to old age of

milling machinery, low demand and uncompetitive milling cost compared to newly constructed

small capacity mills these factories never reach their maximum milling capacities

4.4.1 Electricity and Power

Hydro resources take the first place among the natural riches of Georgia as there are 26,000

rivers with total length is approximately 60,000 km. The Ministry of Energy of Georgia is

considering the effective utilization of the country's major energy potential, hydro-power

resources and the construction of small, medium and large hydro power stations, like the ones

on the river. The priority of the country is also the utilization of ecologically pure energy

resources - alternative, renewable, wind and solar energies, geothermal waters, bio-gases and

etc. Georgia has an important wind energy potential of approximately 4 billion KWh per

year. The total annual potential of solar energy in Georgia is 108 MW, which equals to 34,000

tons of fuel. Due to its geographic location, the radiation of the sun in Georgia is quite high. In

most regions of the country there are 250 – 280 sunny days in a year which is approximately

1,900 – 2,200 hours per year.
