INTERMODADRIA

2007 – 2013 Adriatic IPA CBC

Supporting intermodal transport solutions in the Adriatic area

The project aims to improve the integration of short sea shipping into logistics chains crossing the Adriatic Sea and, more specifically, to create the best possible conditions for establishing rail-sea intermodal transport services between ports and their hinterlands.

Currently, Adriatic ports have varying levels of accessibility to inland transport infrastructure. Although ports and national governments have made substantial investments to improve rail accessibility and connections to national railway networks, not all ports are currently served by railway services and infrastructure, nor will they be in the medium term.

It is therefore essential to provide a clear overview of the available infrastructure and the policy framework for intermodality. This will help prevent the lack of modal alternatives on one side of the Adriatic from resulting in the choice of road transport on the other side, where alternative transport options have already been developed.

The project activities are structured around several key areas of action, including a market analysis aimed at identifying, without distorting competition between market operators, the current and projected origins and destinations of freight flows passing through the ports involved in the partnership. The analysis initially focuses on container traffic and subsequently on ferry freight traffic.

The results of this analysis will enable the identification of transport infrastructure connecting ports with both the origins and destinations of freight flows (port-hinterland connections).
