Albania, Montenegro, Italy, Multimodal Transport Connectivity

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

Date of latest update: 2022-07-22

Description

Description (EN):

The project area is fragmented on two sides of the Adriatic-Ionian Sea between Italy, Albania and Montenegro and on two sides of Shkodra/Skadar Lake and Buna/Bojana River between Albania and Montenegro. The area experiences poor accessibility and is characterized by transport systems with low interoperability, thus negatively affecting intra and interregional connectivity. The aim of the project is to establish a long-term active partnership among the relevant stakeholders, via multimodal inland water and maritime transport connections in order to improve connectivity and to facilitate and promote sustainable cross border cooperation in the project area. The foreseen actions will provide sustainable cross border transport connections (CBTC) over the project area, by optimizing the existing ones, strengthening management and operational skills, ensuring safety and environmental protection measures. The project will contribute in developing international inland water and maritime transport connectivity by applying EU integrated standards in the maritime and inland water sector. For Albania, this is the first intervention in international inland water transport as the country has only limited experience with Fierza-Koman Lake. The main expected outcomes of the project are i) a comprehensive programme of interventions to improve multimodal connectivity in the project area, ii) pilot intervention for multimodal connectivity in the lake and coastal (maritime) area. The beneficiaries of this program will be local Communities and local public authorities of the target area who will benefit from intensified socio-economic interaction, as well as increased skills and management capacities leading in increased ownership over the assets. To guarantee the above, we have committed to exploring all possibilities to secure funding, including through Berlin Process, CB IPA-EU funds, WBIF and other national funding sources.

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

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main expected results of the project are: 1) Improved multimodal maritime transport mobility between the region of Molise and Puglia, 2) studies for multimodal maritime transport mobility between the Region of Puglia, Montenegro and Albania, 3) Enhanced existing land transport connectivity between the Maritime station of Termoli and the port of Bari due to increased multi-modal maritime mobility within the program area Region of Molise and Puglia; 4) Improved multimodal lake transport mobility between Albania and Montenegro. The results number 1, 2, 3 and 4 contribute to the achievement of indicator 4.1.2 of the priority axis 4 of the program through the set-up of the number of new multimodal connections for the benefit of passengers and freight.
