INTEGRATION

Integration of Sea Land Technologies for an Efficient Intermodal Door to Door Transport

The Objectives were:
•    develop demonstrable optimised concepts and integrate new technologies to improve multimodal freight transport and test them in real demo sites
•    reinforce intermodal link with special emphasis on easing, improving and facilitating cargo flows between inland and sea

Key Points
•    INTEGRATION aimed at producing systems and services for moving freight from origin to destination by intermodal chain, were water transport is enhanced.
•    INTEGRATION systems contribute to the competitiveness of the maritime transport through:
-short sea shipping freight transport increase
-Terminal/Ports operations volumes increase
-enlargement of maritime network
