1 Northern Maritime Corridor The Motorway of the Northern Seas and link to Northwest Russia Seminar Maritime Policies & Globalisation, Azores, July 2007 Gunnar Eiterjord, Head of Transport Department Rogaland County Council and Chair NMC

2 Vision The Northern Maritime Corridor: a means of efficient, safe and sustainable transportation, connecting coastal areas and enhancing regional development in the Region and the Northern Periphery Area

3 NMC Project Objective and Activities Main objective: To establish new/improved shortsea shipping services to shift cargo from road to sea Core approach: An arena for networking Key actors from both private and public sector Region to region cooperation

15 Work Packages Work Package A: Motorway oif the Northern Seas Work Package B: Work Package C: Work Package D: Work Package E: Work Package F: NMC as a MoS within the TEN-T Network Market Communication and New SSS Services Technological Development and ICT Tools Polycentric Port Scenarios and Framework Conditions Petroleum Sector Transport

16 NMC in a global and European context

17 NMC in a global and European context Northern Maritime Corridor has to be seen as part of a European and global transportation network. The key EU concern in cargo transportation is to shift cargo from road to intermodal transportation where sea transportation is playing a key role on longer distances. Once cargo has been placed on a long distance truck, it is very unlikely to shift to sea or rail underway. Therefore, in order for EU to succeed with the policy of environmentally friendly cargo transportation, it is essential that also neighbouring countries are linked to the motorways of the sea system. Hence, pursuing the Northern Maritime Corridor within the concept of Motorways of the Sea is instrumental for EU countries as well as neighbouring countries.

18 Expected Achievements in the NMC II Northern Maritime Corridor acknowledged as a Motorway of the Sea all the way to the barents Sea Substantial input to the Task Force for the master Plan for the Motorway of the Sea in the North Sea/Northern Seas Strategy plan for promotion of short sea shipping services in the NMC area New and improved short sea shipping initiatives in the NMC area

19 Expected Achievements in the NMC II, cont. Concept of ICT in Motorways of the Sea context Concepts of polycentric port structure Concepts of transport system relevant for the petroleum sector in the and Barents Sea Expanded network between Russia and NMC countries, both private and public sector

20 Utdrag fra St.meld. nr. 21 ( ): Sikker og effektiv transport langs kysten Utdrag fra regjeringens nordområdestrategi: Regjeringa legg vekt på å følgje opp måla i Soria Moria-erklæringa om å leggje til rette for sikker og effektiv transport langs kysten og om opprusting av hamnene for å leggje til rette for overføring av gods frå veg til sjø. Den venta auken i transport av olje og gass frå Barentshavet og Nordvest-Russland gir utfordringar knytte til sikker transport langs norskekysten. Det gir også potensial for utvikling av strategisk viktige hamner langs kysten i den såkalla Nordleg maritime korridor, som kan bli ein del av EUs system for Motorways of the Seas. Regjeringa vil følgje utviklinga i transporten nøye, både for å sikre tryggleiken og medverke til utnytting av nye potensial.

21 Project Idea Interreg IVb: MoS Strategic Demonstration Project Main activities: Assess potential MoS initiatives, including links to neighbouring programme areas and North West Russia Support MoS initiatives through arena for networking, additional/specific market analyses, guidance on MoS application etc.
