European Transport Challenges

Supporting economic growth and reducing transport

Ensuring access from the periphery and mobility in the centre

Changing modal split in favour of rail and waterborne

Deregulation of rail and port operations


The Key transport issues for the Baltic Region

Transport growth

Demand for road network capacity

Maintaining competitiveness of rail

Providing good access to the centre

Gateway function for countries beyond the EU-border

Creating cohesion across the Baltic

Environmental protection of the Baltic


Creating robust links across the Baltic

Freight transport demand provides the basis for waterborne transport services - at least initially

Freight transport demand is driven by the industry

Industry demands competitive prices and quality (compared to road)

Carriers must exploit the potential for economies of scale

..while maintaining competitive frequency and transport time


Co-operation along a transport chain:The Base Port System

The Competitiveness of the ports

.... but vulnerability to shipper and carrier decisions


Central Baltic Sea -


Southern Baltic Sea


Oil spills indicate the important shipping lanes


The waterborne links are important to the future of the Baltic Region

Engage the players The users The operators and the service providers The spatial developers The legislators

An important part of the “waterborne infrastructure” is driven by commercial incentives

Support intermodal initiatives

Support commercial initiatives by spatial development and administrative modernisation (c.f. Marco Polo)

Develop port access and administrative procedures related to port use


From MATROS

“..maritime connections, port terminals and hinterland links to become key elements of a well functioning intermodal mobility network in the BSR.”
