Adriatic Motorways of the Sea Analysis

The massive shift of traffic to motorways of the sea will bring significant economic effects. As well-known, the transport cost of motorways of sea transport is much lower compared to road transport. Maritime transport is the most energy-efficient transport mode. When traffic is shifted to the motorway of sea, logistics would take the cheaper route and the total transport cost is decreased. The purpose of - cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of relevant Motorways of the Sea (MoS) in the Adriatic region covering the European trans- national Adriatic maritime traffic flows is to: a) consider existing situation at the relevant ports and terminals for proposed MoS, b) review existing development plans and strategies, c) perform detailed cost-benefit analysis taking into account relevant data as well as micro, mezzo and macro business and social environment, and d) to analyse possibilities of achieving higher growth rates. Determined methodology for estimation of values of parameters that characterize current condition at the relevant ports and terminals is presented: current and expected requirements of users in connection with gross turnover and planned traffic volumes ; strategic objective of the European regional development to bring the utilization rate of maritime transport capacities into optimum scope and in line with reasonably expected requirements of users, to develop new capacities, and other significant relevant factors for development and strengthening of proposed MoS.The analysis involves the current transport conditions and determine future goals aimed at supporting an efficient, integrated, balanced and sustainable development of relevant MoS as well as their initial integration into EU transport sector. This paper present results of research on AdriaticMoS project, IPA Adriatic Cross-border Cooperation Programme, during 2014.
