The first draft of the Vocational School project has been completed. The departments of this school will be structured in line with the needs of our industrialists. The school will be constructed in cooperation with Manisa Celal Bayar University and work will begin in 2008.

  Waste Treatment and Environmental Investments

» Sludge Drying System

The sludge which is formed as a result of the processing at the Wastewater Treatment plants is disposed of by regular storage. We are currently examining advanced disposal methods for the current daily output amounts to 40 tons. For example, sludge drying and sludge burning equipment feasibility studies have been undertaken and pilot test equipment installed in our treatment plant was used to stabilize the sludge with lime and sulphamide acid. In the near future a microwave system with a sludge drying test equipment will be installed and further experiments will be made. As a result of these experiments, the best system for sludge disposal will be selected and brought into operation

» Treatment and Recovery of Discharged Water

About 15.000 m3/ of waste water per day is discharged from the plants of our Organized Industrial Zone. After being conveyed to the Central Biological and Chemical Wastewater Treatment Plant it is discharged to the receiving environment. Once the wastewater is treated, efforts are made to use it in green areas and as a second quality process water in our companies. For this purpose, a waterline and pumping station is being constructed between our Zone and the treatment plant. Our companies have installed plot-test equipment and conducted experiments. The results of these experiments will be used to decide which system, in part or whole, such as sand filter, ultra filtration, reverse osmosis, will be used

WALO—Western Anatolia Logistic Organizations

» Why WALO ?

- To extend logistic support to the exporters and industrialists in Western Anatolia in their fight against ever increasing world competition by decreasing their costs.
- To produce innovative solutions
- To offer freight and service advantages to the industrialists, who operate in our Organized Industrial Zone, by consolidating their loads.
- To serve as a role model in our country in terms of technology, equipment and systems by establishing logistic villages, ports and consolidation centers.

» Who is going to establish WALO ?
- Turkish Union of Chambers and Stock Exchanges
- Bursa OIZ
- Eskişehir OIZ
- Manias OIZ
- Aegean Chamber of Industry
- Denizli OIZ
- Barsan Global Logistic
» Where will WALO be established ?
- Tekirdağ Port
- Bandıma Port
- Okçugöl Station
- Mstakemalpaşa Station
- Eskişehir Consolidation Centre
- Manisa OIZ
- Izmir Consolidation Centre
- Denizli OIZ
» How Will WALO Work ?

- The Mustafakemalpaşa and Okçugöl railway stations will be used as a container warehouse in order to combine the cargo coming from Manisa, Izmir and Denizli and to collect the cargo coming from Bursa and Eskişehir. At these stations the containers will be separated according to their destinations and 34 Block Cargo Trains will be formed each consisting of 17 wagons and carrying 45 containers.
- A special harbour will be constructed at the Bandırma Port where the block train will be loaded on the Train Ferry which has yet to be purchased. The wagons will be unloaded at the harbour to be established at the Tekirdağ Port and will leave the country through Kapıkule.
- The Block Trains will go to Vienna in Austria, Nürnberg and Cologne in Germany, Lyon in France and Milan in Italy. (The number of destinations can be further increased)
- The containers from the Block Trains will be delivered either by trucks or by train to the buyers through the internal transportation network.
- The cargo collected from suppliers and destined for Turkey will be consolidated at logistic centers abroad and sent by Block Trains to various destinations.

» Why is the WALO Block Train Advantageous ?

- Decisions relating to the mode of transport, whether by sea, rail, road or air, are often made according to their freight advantage. However, when sea transport is selected and the delivery point is far away from the port or arrival, there is a need for additional internal road transportation. This brings additional costs. If Block Trains can access these internal points instead, then the rail system will gain the freight advantage.
- The delivery time is shorter than that of sea transport and in some cases may result in times that match those for road transport.
- Unlike other modes of transport rail transit is unlikely to be affected by bad weather, traffic jams, or transit bills.
- Freight costs are often lower than sea transport and even road transport in some regions.
- The incidence of damage or accident is very low.
- The Departure and Arrival times are very regular.

» Which Factors should be taken into account when comparing freight options ?

- A Block Train travels to just one planned destination. - The 45”HC Container has 35% more capacity in terms of Euro palettes and volume than 40”DC - When comparing freights the following factors should be taken into account: 1- Lower cost and transit times than sea transport; 2- Lower cost than road transport and in locations with high transit time the WALO system offers many advantages over road transport. 3- The overall transit time of this transport mode is no more than 3-5 days longer than by road. 4- Freight rates are not binding.

» Necessary Investments for WALO

- To construct logistic facilities by renting Mustafakemalpaşa and Okçugöl stations and purchasing the surrounding land area. - To buy construction plant and equipment. - To conclude an agreement with the Ministry of Transportation on construction and use of a harbour at Bandırma Port. - To purchase or rent two train ferries which will operate between Bandırma-Tekirdağ. - To obtain permission and reach an agreement with the Ministry of Transportation to operate this line. - Whenever needed to create a warehouse area with a rail connection in the vicinity of Tekirdağ-Muratlı - To establish a logistics centre at Denizli OIZ - To invest in locomotives (5 shunt locos and 3 main-line locos), 250 wagons and 1000 45’container units. - Various construction equipment and vehicles

» What is WALO’s transport capacity ?
- 100.000 units of 45’ HC container (first year exports)

  Technopark

It is planned to establish a Technopark in our Zone with the objective of enhancing the international competitive power of our industry, and to achieve an export oriented organization by stimulating cooperation between universities, research institutions and our production sector. This goal will be achieved by producing technological information; being innovative regarding products and production methods; enhancing product quality and standards; increasing productivity; lowering production costs; commercializing technological information; supporting technology intensive production and entrepreneurship; creating investment possibilities in technology intensive sectors; creating jobs for qualified people; helping technology transfer and providing the technological infrastructure that would accelerate the entrance of foreign capital and, consequently, superior technology.
