| Project Detail |
The project, a major allocation under a structural programme loan, includes the deepening of the Swinoujscie?Szczecin navigation channel, upgrades to the port infrastructure in Swinoujscie as well as the construction of the overflow car park for lorries at the ferry terminal. Objectives The project supports the development of the TEN-T network by improving the accessibility and increasing the capacity of a rail connected core TEN-T port in Poland located on the Baltic-Adriatic corridor. The deepening of the fairway to Szczecin Port allows a scale increase in maritime transport which reduces fuel use and emission per unit transported. This leads to more sustainable transport chains and addresses market failures in the transport market related to unpriced externalities of emissions. The investments related to the ferry terminal in Swinoujscie enable a modal shift from road and air transport to short sea maritime transport.
