Staffing for Etihad Rail* (Use only the following information for the organization, NO other source is allowed.) CA LAITTO ANAB EMIRATES DHAN SHARIBE Etihad Rail was established in June 2009 under Federal Law No. 2, with the mandate to manage the development, construction and operation of the UAE's national freight and passenger railway network. The railway network will link the principal centres of population and industry of the UAE, and will form a vital part of the planned railway network across the GCC. Etihad Rail network will be the first national freight and passenger railway network connecting the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The 1,200km railway project is estimated to cost AED40bn ($11bn). It is owned by the government of Abu Dhabi (70%) and the federal government of the UAE (30%). The new railway project is expected to be a sustainable and efficient alternative for transportation of freight and passengers throughout urban and rural areas of the Emirate. It is expected to serve about 16 million passengers and 50 million tonnes of freight. The railway infrastructure will significantly contribute to the reduction of road traffic emissions. Railway connectivity will promote trade and social development in the Emirate and across the GCC countries. The cost-effective railway network incorporates energy efficiency and sustainability while providing unique solutions for freight movement, distribution, handling, logistics and clearances. Etihad Rail is committed to ensuring that safety is at the forefront of everything it does, without exception. Safety is an integral character of its business model and is firmly entrenched in their culture: the safety of its people, its clients and the general public is its first and foremost concern. Etihad Rail understands the importance of being a good neighbour, and is committed to ensuring that noise from the trains is kept to a minimum. The acoustic impact of the network is closely monitored during project planning and operations. This approach is taken in order to prevent the risk of unnecessary disturbance. Etihad Rail is led by a board and executive team with rich international experience in project and railway management. Stage One, now fully operational, was delivered on schedule and within budget, and Etihad Rail, through its operator, Etihad Rail DB, has the capacity to transport 22,000 tonnes of granulated sulphur each day from its sources at Habshan and Shah to its point of processing and export at Ruwais. More than 20 million tonnes have been carried in total to date. Etihad Rail Stage One has a successful track record over the last four years without a Lost Time Incident and with Zero Loss Time Injuries. The UAE Ministry of Finance and the Abu Dhabi Department of Finance have signed an agreement for the financing of Stage Two of the Etihad Rail national rail network. Stage Two will extend 605 kilometres from Ghuweifat on the border with Saudi Arabia to Fujairah on the UAE's east coast, to be followed by future route additions. The volume of goods transported on the full network will increase from the current seven million tonnes per year on Stage One, to more than fifty million tonnes annually. H.H.
