Don’t keep the train waiting (to be loaded on the ferry)

24-05-2011

The Black and Caspian seas are the backbone links for transport connections between Asia and Europe: ferry transport and land routes are the keys to understand the “Motorways of the Seas – Black Sea and Caspian Sea” project. A second phase of the EU funded initiative focuses on transit and logistics: it’s time to optimize freight operations through ferry transport on the Caspian and Back Seas, and to improve the land cargo routes between them. Increasing the competitiveness of the TRACECA transport corridor, means in the end to be able to attract a higher volume of goods to be shipped from China to Europe and America.
