Rail Capacity Loss from Hazmat Restrictions
Definition
Strict quantity limits, explosive prohibitions and route restrictions under ADG Code implementation reduce rail utilization for dangerous goods shipments.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 5-10% lost capacity (idle rolling stock); AUD 10,000+ per delayed trainload.
- Frequency: Per restricted shipment
- Root Cause: Manual exemption checks for <500L/kg loads and UN Class restrictions causing planning delays.
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Australian rail operators lose 5-10% capacity annually from hazardous materials compliance delays. Automation optimizes load planning and exemptions.
