Summary description of the project:

The East West Transport Corridor (EWTC) links Minsk,Vilnius, Klaipeda/Kaliningrad with Denmark (Esbjerg) via south Sweden and with Germany via Sassnitz. It includes several TEN-T ports, road and railway links, parts of the Nordic Triangle and Corridor IX B/D in Lithuania/Kaliningrad region. The EWTC is also part of the Northern Transport Axis. Despite recent drop of trade volumes due to the global financial crises, the east-west trade in BSR is expected to continue to increase. The heavy and growing traffic in the EWTC and its potential to become an important east-west trade route between EU, Russia, Belarus and Far East requires attention. The efficiency is hampered by several hindrances as e.g.lack of facilities in the hubs, quality of port-hinterland connections, low level of intermodal and ITS services. EWTC II is a follow up to the EWTC project completed in 2007 (www.eastwesttc.org). The objective is to use the experiences from EWTC I and implement parts of the EWTC Action Plan.

The EWTC II project intends to develop the hubs as growth centres, strengthen railway concepts, improve accesses to hubs and increase human capabilities. The ambition is also to develop an innovative testing ground for a green corridor concept as described in the EU "Freight Logistics Action Plan" that could serve as a best practise case in the European perspective. It includes deployment of advanced ITS sevices as well as development and testing of an information broker system. The long term goal is to develop the EWTC to an efficient 'green' transport corridor able to match European policies and market demands for growing freight transport.

The project is composed of 6 WPs dedicated to various aspects of the green corridor development, resulting in an EWTC Green Corridor Action Plan, guidelines, feasibility studies and design plans for concrete infrastructure improvements, a number of business plans and concepts, ICT-based tools and business plans.

A durable network of stakeholders, the EWTC Association, will be developed. Further, the project has ambition to unlock some rail and maritime transport investments based on studies and designs envisaged in the project lifetime. EWTC II plans to secure political support for the process towards the green corridor status and that the whole EWTC should become a part of the TEN-T network extended to Russia (Northern Axis) and Belarus. The EWTC will also strive to be included in the EU strategy/action plan for the BSR. The partnership coming from Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, Germany and Belarus reflects a cross-sector approach with strong commitment from national, regional and local authorities, ports, universities and private stakeholders. Russian partners from Kaliningrad Oblast are integrated in the project partly funded by some ERDF funds.

The EWTC has political support from the national transport ministries in Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania and Mecklenburg/V and from Euroregion Baltic.

Achievements of the project so far:

All major work package tasks that together contribute to the main objectives of the project are well on their way. The platform for effective communication between partners has largely been established through e.g. meetings, newsletters and project intranet. This gives a good base for achieving the objectives in the following milestones. However the view from many partners is that the project reporting process is too time and resource consuming and takes a lot of time off the actual work defined in the description of the aims of the project.

The work in WP 3, Green Corridor Development, is one of the most essential parts of the projects. Work plans for the continued work within this WP have been developed and essential networking within the project and outside the partnership has been carried out.
