Review 2023
Principal activities
DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S has operated as a rail freight undertaker with its own engines and rented terminals and buildings since 2001 to ensure an efficient rail freight corridor between the European continent and the Nordic Region. Since the merger with DB Cargo Danmark Services A/S as of 01.01.2019 the company is also offering non-rail transport services to the market.		75
In 2023 transport activities account for 88% of revenues. Terminal activities account for 11%, while other activities account for 1% of revenues.

DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S is 100% owned by DB Cargo AG.
Terminals
DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S rents and operates two combined terminals in Denmark. One in Taulov and one in Høje Taastrup.
Rolling stock
DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S owns 13 EG engines and 17 BR185 engines, which are equipped to run on various power systems, i.e. they can be used for cross-border transports. These engines are particularly suitable for pulling very heavy freight trains.

Business operations in 2023 have been primarily affected by infrastructure works in Denmark and Northern Germany. In addition, business operations faced severe challenges since European wide approved rail freight equipment requires a seperate approval process in Denmark constituting a trade barrier in conflict with the interoperability following from the EU regulation. due to European wide approved rail freight equipment in Denmark constituting a trade barrier and contradicted interoperability under EU regulation. Besides that, a significant market distortion in favour of road transportation was recognized.
The Danish part of the ScanMed Corridor was in so far exposed to unequal treatment of interoperable vehicles and rail operations as the Danish National Safety Authority (NSA) maintained their 14 tons minimum weight requirement for all trailer transports over the Great Belt Bridge. This national requirement has been embedded in a Governmental order despite of a clear rejection from the EU Agency for Railways (ERA) based on non-compliance with the EU interoperability requirements. Against this background the European Commission initiated a process of issuing an Implementing Act against Denmark. The rail freight undertakers (RUs) operating on the Scan Med Corridor are highly appreciating the attention to the matter from the EU Commission and ERA. Unfortunately, until today the Implementing Act has not yet been formalized.		135
The Danish authorities have not yet acted upon the detailed wind analysis shared in September 2022 by Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt / German Aerospace Center (DLR) concerning the safety on the Great Belt Bridge infrastructure. Instead new regulatory requirements are imposed on rail freight undertakers without proof of any technical or safety reasons. The Danish NSA imposed a national authorization requirement for rail freight equipment applicable as of 1 January 2024. Due to a very slow approval procedure no RU received approval from the NSA in due course. Based on that the Danish NSA imposed further requirements without any technical or safety reasons in December 2023. As of 1st of January 2024 a 14 tons weight requirement is applicable on the entire Danish rail network for an interim period until 1st of June 2024 when all existing approvals issued to RU’s will expire. Moreover, it can be concluded that rail freight undertakers have to bear the safety responsibility for the bridge which according to TSI INF lays with the Infrastructure Manager.		165
The biggest limitation occurs for customers transporting empty trailers on rail as they do not have the possibility to increase its weight to the requested 14 tons minimum weight. Hence, we have unfortunately seen a structural effect on the Scan Med corridor in the intermodal business as goods are continuously moving from rail to road again. This is also compromising the governments CO2 saving targets.
On 30th of May 2022, Banedanmark informed DBC Sc about a suspension of the environmental subsidy in Denmark. Until April 2022, all rail freight undertakers operating in Denmark received environmental subsidy to compensate for the missing road price taxation in Denmark. The scheme was approved by the EU Commission for the period 1st of January 2018 until 31st of December 2020. Unfortunately, the Danish Ministry of Transportation has neglected to apply for prolongation of this scheme and is since then in dialog with the EU Commission in order to have the subsidy scheme re-introduced.
During Summer 2023 the Ministry of Transportation has reached out via Dansk Banegods to RUs asking for their support to provide additional information to facilitate the dialog with the EU commission. DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S has subsequently provided the requested information on a bilateral basis but since then didn´t receive any feedback from the Ministry of Transportation on the status quo. Unfortunately, the environmental subsidy has not yet been re-introduced. Therfore, a further vital market distortion exists in Denmark in favour of road transportation due to the non-existence of a road price taxation.		90
The changing global economic frame conditions resulting from the continuation of the Russian war against Ukraine and the latest development in the Middle East could only be anticipated to a very limited extend in the company's general expectations for 2023.
In the course of 2023 DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S opened it's own maintenance workshop in Fredericia to insource on a forward going basis the full maintenance activities of the company's locomotive fleet and thereby reduce the dependency from 3rd party suppliers. Subsequently, DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S is on a forward going basis operating with 3 business areas: Rail Freight Operations, Terminal Operations and Workshop Operations.		75
Environmental impact
The most substantial environmental contribution relates to our electric train operations. In 2023 DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S transported more than 4.9 million tons of goods. Once again DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S contributed considerably to a better climate by facilitating more environmentally friendly transportation solutions. To achieve the same freight transport on road the carbon dioxide emissions would have been approximately 6 times higher compared to rail freight transportation and the energy consumption would have been more than 4 times higher. It is therefore still important to sharpen the awareness in politics and the media that rail freight can strengthen the transport sector and can strongly support the ambitious CO2 saving targets in Denmark.	6 m tons to be updated for 2023	120
Staff
In the course of 2023, the number of staff has decreased from 289 by the end of 2022 to 277 by the end of 2023. At year-end 50 out of the 277 employees were civil servants seconded from DSB. The average number of full-time employees was 280 in 2023.	figures to be updated for 2023	45
In 2023 DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S has reacted to the demographical development within the company and hired new apprentices for the operations, to secure the future production needs. In so far, DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S has in close collaboration with EUC Lillebælt continued an educational programme for shunters which was first implemented in 2015.	check if also applicable for 2023	60
Future prospects of DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S
The political frame conditions in Denmark remain very difficult as rail freight is not on top of the political agenda as it is in other EU member states. Also in Denmark rail freight should be understood as a lever to facilitate the achievement of the ambitious climate targets.	45
Moreover, the existing Danish trade barriers for European wide approved rail freight equipment should be stopped as this is in conflict with interoperability under EU regulation. Also the re-introduction of the environmental subsidy scheme is vital in order to stop the existing market distortion in favour of road transportation.	60
In order to facilitate a shift from road to rail freight as conducted in other European Member States a national land freight transportation analysis should be done. Moroever, RUs should be offered wind-generated electricity on very favorable conditions. Finally, the prices for crossing the bridges should be lowered as rail freight transportation in itself is much more environmentally friendly than road transportation.	75
The planned roll out of ETCS-on-board equipment is still marked by great uncertainty for rail freight operators on the corridor. To ensure and to further promote rail freight, Banedanmark and the Danish authorities need to set out a stable baseline for ETCS-implementation with longer retention of the Danish ATC.	60
Even though the Danish authorities have meanwhile established ETCS funding schemes, the engaged supplier Alstom does not have sufficient capacity to provide both the hardware and the installation. DB Cargo still believes that ETCS-on-board equipment needs to be considered as part of the infrastructure and moreover, the Danish authorities should implement an appropriate and non-discriminatory way of refinancing investments into ETCS, e.g. a "Bridge-Toll-Model".	75
With regard to the company's punctuality, it is still crucial to sharpen the infrastructure manager's awareness of the influence they may have on DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S' punctuality with their prioritization decisions on the net and the planning of their infrastructure works. In addition, the infrastructure manager has been made aware of the consequences for the end customers' just-in-time production chains. Constructive dialogues with the infrastructure manager proved to be fruitful in the past and will be continued on a forward going basis.	90
Special risks
Special risks for the company are mainly lengthy interruptions of main line traffic, due to major infrastructure works.
DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S hires civil servants from DSB. This hire arrangement restricts the company's possibilities to vary its capacity in line with the level of activity. If DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S returns more than 45 civil servants per year, the company must pay a considerable sum in compensation to DSB.
This arrangement means that DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S does not have equal negotiation rights over such important matters as hiring and releasing this class of employees. Moreover, it has the effect of limiting the company's ability to develop in line with the powerful dynamic that characterizes the transport industry.
DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S is primarily financed by intra-group loans. If DB Cargo Group's ownership share of DB Cargo Scandinavia A/S falls below 50.1%, the loan agreements provided might be terminated.
The present and planned level of activities for the company, do not impose any risk in particular and the liquidity situation is adequately secured.

Data ethics
In accordance with the statutory statement of the company's policy for data ethics, DB Cargo Scandinavia has adopted several internal policies for how DB Cargo Scandinavia works with and processes employee data. DB Cargo Scandinavia does not forward or share person related data with third parties. DB Cargo Scandinavia does not collect data on persons other than those employeed and, where the law of railway safety specifically says so, external partners. The amount of person related data is thereby limited, and thus the company has not yet published a 'data ethics policy'. DB Cargo Scandinavia collects and manages person relate data only concerning recruting and employment. Data is deleted when the process is finalised, i.e. data on all applications is deleted when the right candidate signs the employment contract, and all employee data is deleted from the HR registry with the termination of the employment. Business Intelligence systems rely on anonymized data. DB Cargo Scandinavia is currently working on formulating a data ethics policy.		165
