Information on the results of the arbitration confirms a press-the Secretary of the PKP Intercity Alexander Novak. – Ended the Arbitration between PKP Intercity and manufacturer of rolling stock in favor of the company PKP Intercity – said the “Train Market”. Not treated, however, the question of zasądzonej fines.
According to the “Market Station”, prepared in 2014, the request dealt with penalties for delay of the vehicle and were included in full, that means 50 million euros of fines. The same amount, reports Radio Zet. It would have been the highest parts of the dispute, won by the Polish side in the arbitration.
How’s the delay?
December 14, 2014, along with changes in the annual schedule, on the move with passengers appeared only 9 trains Pendolino per day. Why? Recall, our text for up to two years: the First eight vehicles, along with permission to operate and the manufacturer was supposed to deliver on may 6. PKP Intercity announced that from that day began the accrual of penalties. For Alstomu, the manufacturer had no opportunity of delivery vehicles together with the prescribed in the contract management system ERTMS level 2. Calibrate it according to the manufacturer impossible in Poland, because the Polish infrastructure still does not have a functional system with which you can communicate. Blame Windows year delay in the implementation of the system. PKP Intercity did not want to answer locations without a functioning ERTMS p. 2.
After lengthy negotiations, the President of PKP SA Jacob Karnowski announced in June, Alstom agreed to a settlement of the question of penalties in arbitration and promised immediately to apply to UTK on ID with SHP systems and ERTMS to claim 1, and "dohomologowanie" ERTMS claim 2, if possible. As it turned out, it was still far from a final decision, both companies want to have the disputed money in the account until the sentencing.
Long negotiations on this issue led to the fact that PKP Intercity signed the final protocols of the first two trains Pendolino only on October 17. At the same time we had the festival of media messages from both companies, sometimes very sharp. The climax came when PKP Intercity women have accused the producer of all of the trains are old and rusty parts. The manufacturer did not remain in debt – at some point withdrew the application for the operation of warehouses. Deputy Prime Minister Janusz documents bachelors added fuel to the fire, saying that the contract can be broken. Apparently, there was even a buyer for Pendolino.
not enough time
the most Important result of the conflict is that along with the change in the annual schedule, on the move with passengers will have only 9 trains Pendolino per day. This will lead to consumption in the first weeks of the EIC offers Premium on all routes. Except for one of the Pendolino trains will be replaced by “normal” EIC. For this reason, the proposal of EIC Premium will start in December without on-Board fi for passengers – despite the agreement with T-Mobile, not enough time to install it.
With delay leads to another problem for a carrier within the first four weeks of operation Alstom will not be responsible for the financial reliability of the train. This situation, in accordance with the original assumptions, was to take place between may and June. This is standard procedure, but delayed deliveries from the manufacturer zaburzyło these plans, said in an interview with the “Market Station” Simon Konop, Commissioner of the Board of PKP Intercity.
