Intermodal connection from Adriatic to Baltic sea

04 August, 13:48
(ANSA) - VENICE - The Port Authority of Venice signed a deal with Lübecker Hafen-Gesellschaft (Port Authority of Lubeck, Germany) and with the Grimaldi group, aimed at a creation of an intermodal connection (ferry+train+ferry) between the two ports in order to connect the Adriatic and the Baltic sea (Scandinavia, Finland, Russia) with Italy and Greece. The common objective of the stakeholders is an integrated connection, which can serve numerous ferry passengers of the two ports by daily train departures in both directions.

The new railway bridge between Venice and Lubeck envisions two to six trains per week that will cover the 1,362 kilometres long route in 26-30 hours. (ANSA).
