Issues

• When to use shortsea or rail from Italy to Northern Europe?

• Competitive position of ports

• transit time by sea

Case Netherlands - Russia

• Shortsea to Russia (Baltic ports)– 19 container and 2 Ro-Ro services– 20 / 4 sailings per week– Shortsea least expensive modality– Transit time (slightly) longer than road and rail

• Rail– Limited volume to Russia– Mainly project cargo (machinery)– Different rail gauge, transhipment Malaszewice

Issues

• In future one type of liability vs CIM/SMGS

• Ports, maily St Petersburg (were) often congested

• Growth use of trans-siberian route

• Railferry Sassnitz-Klaipeda: most5 westerly station of the trans-siberian express.
