The People behind the Projects - Interview with Marc Abeille - Maritime highways to unlock a key transport route

18-01-2010

‘The Motorways of the Sea – Black and Caspian Sea’ project, funded by the EU as part of its broader efforts to consolidate a direct transport corridor from Europe to Asia through the Caucasus, was launched at the beginning of 2009.

These maritime highways aim to establish “sustainable, quality transport logistic networks”, Marc Abeille, project team leader told the ENPI Info Centre in an interview. It seeks to identify bottlenecks in the chain connecting land and maritime routes. The reward would see huge economies in transport costs, an ecological windfall, and a strong development potential by rerouting traffic currently forced into detours of thousands of kilometres to reach its destination.
