•Very dynamic growth in the new EU members

•Liberalization of the marker – „open sky policy”

•Low costs airline penetration

•Fast growth of regional and secondary airports




•Air transport is more accessible

•City tourism development

•Regional development

•Mainly UK, Germany and South Europe destinations

•Lack of inter-regional flights



Elaboration of the ‘sea motorways’ concept and its adjustment to Baltic Sea conditions&Pan-Baltic transport multimodal strategy (SSS, networking of ports as gateways providing smooth handling of goods to and from the hinterland)

Comments to missing themes


Future cargo flows in the Baltic:

High economic growth (mainly in Russia & new EU members)

TEN’s Corridors and land infrastructure development

Investments in ports



Future cargo pattern in the Baltic:

Question of hub port in the Baltic

Future container system in the Baltic

Ferry and Ro-Ro development

Intermodality in the ports: It is expected that ports will aim to become logistics platform acting as a interface between various transportations modes and facilitating cargo movement throughout logistics chains



Motorway of the Baltic Sea


Rapid increase of sea traffic – up to 50 % in the Gulf of Finland untill 2015

Environmental Challenges (oil, Primorsk 60mln ton/a)

Ice conditions




Consolidation and concentration of the freight flow

Challenge for ports to accommodate economic growth and increase of handled cargo-Intermodality-Port/terminal productivity and land use-Hiterland connections

Co-operation of ports and logistic centers are necessary to establish MoS

Important: Sea transport is a private sector and they must be involved




Outcomes of the consultation within EU:- Need of top-down planning: administration, region, member states- Need of bottom-up approach: logistics operators,

ports, ship-owners, transport users- Need of public and private sector involvement (PPP)


Motorway of the Baltic Sea, SSS and multimodality (themes to consider)


Identification of ports and regions for Baltic Sea Motorway Development willing to co-operate

EU founding for at least 2 ports projects will be available

Baltic ports as the logistics centers (port/terminal planning, information technology, added value service, port-city relations)

Ports acoomodating future cargo growth – intra-Baltic and inter-Baltic trade (efficiency, hinterland connections, environmental impacts)


Air transport

Efficient airlines connections are vital for mobility and regional development

Efficient intra-Baltic air system is also vital for Baltic Sea region development



Air transport (themes to consider)

Intra-Baltic Air Transport Development - Tourism and Business Co-operation

Regional (secondary) airports planning and its development (old navy airports)

Accommodating the air traffic growth in new EU members (city planning, efficient connections to the city-centers, noise questions, airport operations)
