Wider intermodal application– Provisions exist for container transport– Present intermodal applications

Short sea-shipping (Black Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, river transport

Combined rail-road (Romania/Austria)– Intermodal application supports extension of

geographical scope– New users in rail transport and maritime transport

(regional and intercontinental)






– Focus on securing loading units and goods

Adopt new features on loading units (WCO, ISO etc)

Adopt new features on sealing (WCO, ISO etc.)

Adopt new provisions on authorization (vehicles, drivers, intermediaries, consignor, consignee)
