About
The Italian and Croatian ports of the Adriatic have experienced significant growth in intermodal traffic, linking ports to their hinterlands via rail. However, inefficiencies have emerged due to the complex network of stakeholders, complicating the integration of port operations and last-mile processes, which are vital for rail service competitiveness.
CROSSFREIGHT aims to address these challenges by testing and implementing digital ICT tools to improve intermodal connections between logistic nodes and ports along the TEN-T networks. The project focuses on optimising rail links, enhancing last-mile operations, and fostering cross-border strategies for rail freight transport.
Key outputs will include modernising at least seven intermodal connections, developing pilot actions, and creating a strategic action plan. The project will engage a wide range of stakeholders and is set to run for 24 months with eight key partners from Italy and Croatia, ensuring comprehensive expertise to achieve its objectives.
