Objectives What is it ? (reminder) What are the funding possibilities ? How does it work ? How to apply and things to bear in mind ?


What is it PP21 ?

European Network of Motorways of the Sea (MoS)

Supports concentration of Flows of Freight on reliable sea-based transport services

Fully Integrated in door-to-door logistic chains In order to reduce land transport congestion and

improve accesibilities Thereby increasing cohesion and moving

towards a low-carbon society


What are the funding Possibilities ? TEN-T (PP21) – mainly infrastructure Marco Polo – mainly services Structural funds: INTERREG mainly

studies + infrastructure EIB State Aids (12/12/2008 complementary

guidelines for MoS) autonomous evaluation process


Next Calls TEN-T – should open early 2010 (Feb) the

budget may go up to 85 M€ (dedicated to MoS) Marco Polo (global budget of app 60 M€ all

modes) – also early in 2010 (app. Feb) For both Commission is politically responsable Implementation trough Agencies

TEN-T : TEN TEA Marco Polo : EACI

Each one regulated by a specific Call for Proposals (with own specific objectives)


Annual Programme Priorities Rail Road Ports+Maritime Inland Waterways Intermodal Airports Galileo

International Conference | Edinburgh 5/10/09MAP 2007 – 2013 Provisional Budget


Annual TEN-T Cycle: Milestones

Workprogramme (Key element) Prosed by the Commission and adopted by the Member States

(FAC) + scrutiny EP Sets priorities, criteria and funding allocations May change every year

Once approved is the basis for the TEN-T Agency to lauch the Call for Proposals:displaying the essentials of the WP and adding formal procedural steps for the call

Essential for the stakeholders to contact the Commission and their MS representatives – how well reflected on the WP are their priorities.


Organisational situation Requires contacts with the services Who is who and what is what

TEN-T Annual Cycle programme


Key Elements for a project

Infrastructure: Port Links to the hinterland (intermodal / co-modal) Some facilities (dry ports + logistics terminals)

Wider benefit activities (safety , environment) Studies: e.g. Masterplan or preliminary studies


Key Issues on a project Priorities Describe the global project (door-to-door) where the

specific request for funding is inscribedl Substantiate economic and environmental sustainability

with preliminary studies Adress: e.g. administrative simplification, favourable

treatment for the MoS operation, single window for booking and invoicing, harmonised customs procedures

Intermodal (including sea-river operations) Use of information systems to add value and increase

efficiency Intermodal Tracking and Tracing of cargo

The objective of the project "Motorway of the Sea- High quality Rail and Intermodal Nordic Corridor Konigslinie" is to upgrade the existing rail ferry link between the ports of Trelleborg (Sweden) and Sassnitz (Germany) in order to increase the share of rail and intermodal transport on the Swedish-German corridor in particular and also on the Sweden-Central Europe/Italy corridor.

Improving the existing rail ferry service by offering more capacity, more efficiency, faster handling in the ports and more flexibility due to the option of a 6th departure (in peak demand periods only), will help it compete with alternative, less sustainable, routes on this transport corridor.

The objective of the action is to increase the share of intermodal transports in the

South-East/South-West Baltic Motorways of the Seas link through Klaipéda and

Karlshamn. To this end, the operator of the service, “DFDS Lisco”, has already increased, as from May 2009, the capacity of the link by 21%. At the same time, the implementation of the Action will considerably improve and enhance the capacity of unitised rail goods handling on the Swedish side, as well as providing infrastructure investment in Karlshamn. The current (2009) intermodal share of the corridor is 18% with the aim to reach the 56% in 2015 and ultimately in 2025 to reach 71%.

The activities of the Action will focus on the: Improvement of environmental sustainability by increasing

intermodal transports in the corridor. Furthermore, oil sanitation equipment will be acquired in Karlshamn to mitigate risks due to the increase in traffic

Elaboration and implementation of a strategy to achieve modal shift, by conducting market studies

Increase the loading/unloading speed of containers to vessels, through the purchase and operation of a new crane in Karlshamn

Reduction of waiting/transit time with the upgrade and modernisation of the Karlshamn RO-RO terminal

Increase of the efficiency and capacity for trains in Karlshamn through the development of the new shunting yard and the electrification and improvement of the port rail track

Doubling the container handling capacity by building a new combined terminal

Preparation for the improvement of hinterland rail connections through the development of design and EIA for the "missing link" Karlshamn-Olofström

Increase of the efficiency in Klaipéda by improving the quay operability for vessels through the installation of a hydraulic device for RO-RO ferries

The maritime link between Esbjerg, Denmark and Zeebrugge, Belgium, in service since 2005, has provided an intermodal alternative to truck transport between Denmark and the Benelux countries.

This project will be further developed into a Benelux-Scandinavia shortsea bridge. The upgrade of the service will consist of the coordinated increase of the frequency on the Zeebrugge-Esbjerg route, investment in infrastructure and facilities and the adoption of accompanying measures to foster integration of various parts of the intermodal chain.

This includes an increase in service by doubling of the capacity of the ro-ro (roll on, roll off) connection between Esbjerg and Zeebrugge. A Motorways of the Sea approach merits in cost savings (up to some 40%) and less CO² emissions (58%) than the alternative road connection. In addition, it reduces congestion on very busy parts of the EU road network.

The investment in infrastructure and facilities associated with the upgrade of the maritime link consists of a floating ro-ro ramp, the extension of an access way in Esbjerg, a ro-ro jetty, gantry cranes and ICT development in Zeebrugge. The project will give way to major improvements in the handling of goods and attract more goods on the ro-ro based intermodal concept.

The next Marco Polo call will be launched in January, 2009, with a budget of EUR 60 million.

Until 2013 there will be annual calls with a similar amounts of budget. Depending on the merits of the projects part of the yearly budgets could fund Motorways of the Sea projects.

In the two calls where financing was available for MoS, only one project has been selected for support: "RoRo Past France", a MOS between Spain and Belgium, with a subsidy of EUR 6.8 million. This project is already running.

2010 Call Specific Priorities to be defined in the WP

MS + EP + European Coordinator Dedicated MoS budget up to 85 M€ Co-financing up to:

20% for infrastructure 50% for studies 30% for cross-border sections

Synergies with Marco Polo or others but no duplication EU funds may be complemented with State Aids

(guidelines on state-aids complementarity to comunity funding for MoS projects – 12/12/2008)

Wish you good luck for a Scotish Motorways of the Sea…

Thank You !
