Partnership for the Observation and study of new Routes and Transnational Sea-highways

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg IPA CBC Italy - Albania - Montenegro

Date of latest update: 2022-07-22

Description

Description (EN):

Motorways of the Sea are constantly expanding with a goal of offering an extensive network of fast, frequent, reliable maritime links for the transport of trucks, trailers, cars and other rolling cargo in the Mediterranean and North Europe. Sea transportation as the natural alternative to the already congested motorways, thus promoting the EU's policy of shifting goods from the road to more environmentally friendly transport solutions. The PORTS project intends to study the impact of new routes and MoS between Apulian, Montenegrin and Albanian coasts, particularly between the ports of Taranto, Kotor and Durres, and to analyse their socio-economic impact. It also aims to increase cross-boarder dialogue and ultimately accessibility, by: -creating a large international network including all the relevant stakeholders in the area; -creating an international research laboratory (PORTS LAB) to study new forms of integrated transport RO/PAX and new cruiser lines between the ports of Taranto, Kotor, Bar and Durres and to analyze data with a mathematical provisional transport model; -organizing international round tables in order to discuss main findings of the research -sharing good practices and training professional within the industry. Main target of the actions are public authorities managing transport of passengers and freight, and economic operators along the spine of the eastern Balkans. Through this actions and by using this approach we expect to: -Increase the number of contacts among public and private stakeholders in program areas, study the market area and ultimately promote a sea link connecting Taranto, Albania and Montenegro; -Develop new and global visions for connecting the Area; -Produce documents and material publicly available that will support this vision. The international approach is a prerequisite for achieving the indicated results.

Achievements (EN):

Survey on cross border accessibility: The in depth SWOT analysis describes the state of the art regarding sea highways and routes between the Jonian and the Adriatic Sea; the analysis also took into into account stakeholders’ needs for improving cross border accessibility and their needs in terms of public investments, as well the new skills required by the market Mathematical transport model: New strategies to improve, enhance and optimize connections and exchanges through the motorways of the sea between Italy, Albania and Montenegro. This is the goal of the mathematical model created and implemented by the Polytechnic of Bari as partner of the PORTS project and soon available to public institutions, stakeholders and private companies. The activity developed by the project partners is based on the analysis of the traffic data in the Ionian-Adriatic logistic corridor to identify opportunities for new potential routes in the project area and their impact. The model is built on the basis of a temporal geographical information system to support the management of the cartography, made available by the Politecnico to the project partners. The data collection and integration by partners activity made it possible to compose overlapping, detailed and fully traceable information levels, for the execution of different types of multidimensional analysis procedures. The activity allowed to create a map of the intermodal transport network in the project area, through the calculation of performance indicators relating to the different types of goods flows and the most relevant maritime traffic routes. The results, therefore, highlight the potential for optimizing the efficiency of logistics processes and expanding the opportunities for the economic development for the various types of maritime services. The action has a double value: on one side, it has a scientific value, through the creation of a relevant cartographic corpus enriched by annotated data and the deepening of the characteristics of the maritime connections in the project region; on the other, the activity has an economic-social value, with new possibilities of exploiting the data collected, organized and analysed to promote the economy of the three territories through informed decisions taken by both public decision makers and companies. https://ports.italy-albania-montenegro.eu/mathematical-transport-model Online capacity building for strategic management of ports: Professional and professors produced a training webinar focused on strategic port management. The webinar is available online, and accessible via a general-purpose platform as well as via an online learning platform with additional functions.

Expected Results (EN): Agreements for cross-border passengers and freight sustainable transport systems and multimodal mobility solutions

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project main results specifically are the following: -Increasing the number of contacts among public and private stakeholders to promote significant growth in the number of connections. This result will contribute to increase the connections among the regions, respecting the objectives of the programme and the principles of Eusair strategy. -Producing new documents publicly available, sharing new vision to connect and increase cross border accessibility, contributing to reach the target by 2020 of reducing the time spent at regional border crossing by 50%. -Making available a mathematical transport model to all relevant stakeholder. The project results are very strong connected with the programme result indicator, in order to increase coordination among relevant stakeholders, enhancing the number of contacts among private and public authorities. In addition, services will be boosted with a sustainable and multimodal mobility, increasing the number of passenger and freight.
