Sea ports play a key role in the intermodal freight transport. As much as 85% of cargo is transported by seagoing vessels. This is particularly evident in the economic relations between European Union and Asia, where the value of bilateral trade in goods in 2016 amounted to 514 billion euros, 58 billion of which resulted […]

Advancing globalisation and rapidly developing intercontinental cooperation mean that sea ports and the infrastructure connecting them to the inland system of roads and railways are playing an increasingly important role. The countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which are increasingly engaging in trade with China under the 16+1 formula, have recognised the potential related to […]
Bulgaria Bulgaria’s advantageous geographical location is one of the country’s greatest competitive advantages: it offers the possibility of establishing relations with European countries, Asia and Africa, and thus the possibility of transporting goods to Western Europe. This advantage is further reinforced by the fact that the two main corridors of the Pan-European transport network, i.e. […]
Albania From the geographic point of view, goods from Albania can be transported relatively quickly to the neighbouring countries: Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo. This is possible thanks to the A1 and A 2 motorways, which are part of the TEN-T network. A2 is part of the Albania-North corridor, which is connected with […]
In the context of rail transport connections within the frames of cooperation between the Baltic States it is also worth to mention Rail Baltica. The project, which is part of the trans-European TEN-T network, involves the creation of a connection between Warsaw, Kaunas, Riga, Tallinn and Helsinki; the normal gauge railway line will enable travel […]
The Visegrad countries have been constantly developing and modernising their railway routes over the last few years. Poland has the longest railway network (19,000 km), the Czech Republic is in the second position (over 9,000 km), followed by Hungary (8,000 km) and Slovakia (3,500 km). Normal gauge railways constitute the vast majority of the railway […]
As a landlocked country, the Czech Republic pays significant attention to inland waterway transport. Three rivers run through the country: the Elbe, the Oder and the Vltava. Most of waterways are of class IV navigability (Vltava-Mělník–Slapy, Elbe-Vltawa), part of them belonging to the trans-European inland routes to Rhine-Danube and the Baltic-Adriatic Sea. The most important […]
