SEBTransThe South East Baltic –Future Transport Pattern and theTEM/TER Development Zone

Part A: Goods transports in the southern Baltic

Overall objectives:

Establish present and future transport volumes and patternsaffecting; the east-west axis ( UK-Denmark-south Sweden-Poland-Kaliningrad/Lithuania/Latvia, the north-south axis (Oslo-Gothenburg-south east Sweden-Poland-south east Europe)

Assess and demonstrate the potential for intermodal transportalong these axis in the long- and short-term perspectives.

A detailed study of the role of short sea shipping and combinedtransport for a selected number of relations based on a goodknowledge of potential freight volumes and competitive transportsolutions.

Identify strategic environmental consequences of increasedtransport volumes in the South East Baltic.

= Development corridors to be studied

Part B: TEM/TER Development Zone

Overall Objectives:

Contribute to economic growth, democratic progress andsustainable development in the South East Baltic Region.

Define a common strategy of well-balanced distribution ofeconomic activities and human resources in the TEM/TERdevelopment zone.

Develop models for innovative methods and forms forconsultations between different levels of expertise andpoliticians paving the way for a successful co-ordinationbetween different sector-oriented measures.

Identify facts and statistics for the Development zone andpresent it in a common way using GIS technique.

Identification of development problems in the zone.

Description of regional and subregional consequences ofdifferent development scenarios.

Provide a common platform for more detailed planning forexample environmental, and implementation actions, throughthe formulation of a common Vision and a Action plan forcertain chosen fields.

Part B: Scenarios

Base scenario 2020:

Approved plans for infrastructure projects will be effected.

Smaller improvements of the infrastructure in south eastSweden.

The motorway Gdansk – Lodz will be constructed.

Main traffic flows continues to pass through Germany and westPoland on its way from Scandinavia to central and easternEurope.

TEM/TER scenario 2020:

The infrastructure within TEM/TER zone will be improved.

A major part (40-60%) of the traffic between Sweden (Norway)and Poland (Hungary, Czech Republic) in the TEM/TER link.

Efficient ferry links with shorter crossing time between Swedenand Poland.

Continuous fast growing economy in Poland.
