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).

1.2 Georgia Regulatory Departments
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 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.

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.

2.1.2 Georgia Port of Batumi
Key port information can also be found at: Maritime Database information on Georgia
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 Road Network

4.1 Georgia Government Contact List
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. 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.

2.4 Georgia Railway Assessment
Georgia Railway Assessment
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
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

2.5 Georgia Waterways Assessment
Georgia Waterways Assessment
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 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
2.6 Georgia Storage Assessment
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.

2.7 Georgia Milling Assessment
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
