FORUMS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT COOPERATION IN THE BARENTS REGION
• European Union: TEN-T Network Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Program 2007-2013
• Northern Dimension Partnership in Transport and Logistics, NDPTL
Cooperation between Ministries of Transport in the Baltic Sea Region, since 2011
• Barents Euro-Arctic Transport Area, BEATA Cooperation between the Ministries of Transport in the Barents Region, since early 2000s
• Regional Working Group on Transport and Logistics Cooperation between regional administrations in the Barents Region, since early 1990s
• Bilateral cooperation

SUMMARY OF MAIN FINDINGS
• Low standard on sections
of roads and railways
• Arctic winters and winter
maintenance
• Limited opening hours for customs
clearance
• Different railway gauges
• Lack of flight connections east –
west
11
PROPOSED MEASURES - ROAD
• Removal of bottlenecks
• Harmonizing:
– vehicle sizes
– standards e.g maintenance, operation
• Improved information
• Asphalted road width of min. 8 metres
• E45 Alta
13
Proposed measures - rail
Consider further studies:
– Double track solution – The Iron Ore
line/The Ofoten line
– New railway line Nikel and Kirkenes with
Russian gauge
– New railway line between Svappavarra
(Sweden) to Kolari (Finland)
– New railway between Rovaniemi and Kirkenes
via Sodankyla
– Salla – Alakurtti: construction of the missing
railway connection in corridor Kemi –
Kandalaksha – Murmansk

NORTHERN LIGHTS ROUTE
Haparanda/Tornio - Tromsø
Challenges: • Low road standard: narrow roads, poor
horizontal and vertical curvature, steep gradients, and poor load-bearing capacity on certain stretches
• Crossing the FI/SE border should be made easier and more attractive both for the local residents and tourists
• Mountain crossings in winter

SALLA – KANDALAKSHA RAILWAY
Sections: 1. New railway construction Kelloselkä - border (Finnish side, 7 km and border – Alakurtti (Russian side, 72,5 km) including the border crossing facilities 2. Rehabilitation of the Russian line Alakurtti - Kandalaksha (Rutshi Karelskie), 100 km 3. Rehabilitation line Kemijärvi Isokylä– Kelloselkä, 79 km (FIN)

JBTP - PROPOSED MEASURES
• Study has been conducted
• Bilateral agreements for flights
• Tromsø – Murmansk – Arkhangelsk route has a
potential for more frequent traffic
• Tromsø – the Gulf of Bothnia
• Possible hub in the Gulf of Bothnia

REGIONAL AVIATION PILOT STUDY AIR TAXI SYSTEM
1. One company model (Several examples around the world) • Single operator takes care of the whole air taxi service • Customer can book the whole plane or alternatively share the plane and
the cost with other customers 2. Taxi centre model (Example: Aircontact, Norway)
• Regional taxi/order centre owned by one or several companies • Taxi centre takes care of the ticket orders and operator reservations • Flight operations are performed by several air companies • Taxi centre could handle other possible tasks, e.g. marketing etc.
3. Member model (Example: Wheels Up, USA)
• Customer buys a membership and uses or shares a plane • Concept operated by one or several companies together
