The European policies on transport in the Adriatic and Ionian basin. Trieste Koper Venice Rieka Zara Ravenna Split Ancona Ploce Dubrovnik Bar Durazzo Bari Brindisi Taranto** Igoumenitsa Patras

  3. Maritime traffic in the Adriatic and Ionian basin EU policies on the Adriatic and Ionian basin

  4. Ports: Overall freight traffic 2003 About 160 million tons freighted in 2003. Trieste is the leader with 29% of the total freight traffic Source: Istao Data, 2004 + Taranto: 35 million tons in 2002 Igoumentitsa nd

  5. Ports: Container traffic 2003 CONTAINER TRAFFIC 2003 in Teus There were about 909 thousand TEUS transported in 2003. 63% pass through the Northern Adriatic ports (Venice, Trieste, Koper, Rijeka). The annual growth rate over the last two years was 5-6% (higher than other types of commodities). Source: 2004 Istao survey on Port authority data + Taranto: 472.000 teus in 2002

  6. Ports: Passenger traffic About 9 million international movements to which local stages need to be added. Ancona is the leader with 17% of the total traffic Source: 2004 Istao survey on port authority data *estimated data

  7. International links between Italy and Greece TRIESTE 240.000 pax 37.000 tir 2.5 million pax transits from and to Greece. Substantial stability over the last two years. Ancona is the leader with a market share of 40% both in pax traffic as well as Articulated Lorries. VENICE 341.000 pax 56.000 tir ANCONA 1.003.000 pax 186.000 tir/tr BARI 409.000 pax 85.000 tir IGOUMENITSA* PATRAS About 2,5 million pax BRINDISI 535.000 pax 103.000 tir

  8. Origins of truck traffic from and to Greece via Ancona he origins Statistical survey ISTAO 2002 A sample of about 12.000 articulated lorries, equal to 6,4% of the annual total 3% 5% 13% 2% 3% Ancona as a segment of an intermodal corridor linking the Central North with South East Europe 4% 1% 65%

  9. International links between Italy and Croatia In 2003 there were 416.000 transits from and towards Croatia, to which the hydrofoil traffic from Venice, Civitanova Marche, and Pescara should be added. Only 10.000 articulated lorries in transit towards Italy Ancona is the absolute leader with a strong growth trend (+15% in 2002) VENICE hydrofoil ZADAR 65.000 pax SPLIT 245.000 pax ANCONA 355.000 pax 9.850 tir/trailer DUBROVNIK 62.500 pax BARI 61.000 pax

  10. Domestic traffic within Croatia Domestic traffic in Croatian ports, often related to tourism towards the islands, is particularly high. There were 4,8 million domestic movements registered in 2003 and the data represents a strong growth rate (+11% in 2003, +12% in 2002). RIJEKA 183.203 pax ZADAR 1.555.563 pax SPLIT 2.602.000 pax DUBROVNIK 420.811 pax PLOCE 104.519 pax

  11. Articulated Lorry traffic between Ancona and Croazia Statistical survey Istao 2002 Departure from Ancona Arrival at Ancona • Building materials • Furniture • Semi-finished goods (shoes, clothing) • Earth moving machinary • General foodstuffs • Marble • Silicon • Finished goods (Shoes, clothing) • Timber 50% of Croatian origin 30% Bosnian 10% Italianan 8-10% Slovenian Ancona to service the import-export between the two coasts

  12. International links with Albania TRIESTE 36.000 pax 5.000 tir There are about 800.000 pax transits from and towards Albania. The leader in traffic with Albania is the Puglia pole (84% of pax transport and almost all the articulated lorry transits). KOPER ANCONA 84.000 pax 1.922 tir/tr BAR DURAZZO* and VALONA* about 800.000 pax BARI 567.000 27.000 tir BRINDISI 87.000pax 10.192 tir

  13. International links with Serbia and Montenegro KOPER n.a. There are about 80.000 pax transits towards Bar from Italy. There is no data available from Koper and Durazzo, which also have operating lines linking Bar. ANCONA 22.000 pax 387 tir/tr BAR 80.250 pax BARI 57.000 pax DURAZZO n.a.

  14. Cruise traffic 2003 VENICE about 700.000 + 30% Cruise traffic is also starting to show significant volumes along both the shores of the Adriatic and Ionian basin. There is a strong growth rate in passengers, particularly at the port of Dubrovnik, which has become a reference stage in the Central Adriatic SPLIT 46.000 + 97% DUBROVNIK 260.000 + 126% BARI 214.000 + 27,6% CORFU’ n.a.

  15. Conclusions GOODS TRAFFIC Two big poles of goods traffic concentration (bulk cargos and containers): in the North, the Northern Adriatic pole (Venice, Trieste, Koper, Rijeka); and in the South, the transhipment port of Taranto. FERRY AND RO- RO TRAFFIC The ports of the Central and Southern areas (apart from Ravenna) represent more specialised ferry traffic: • Ancona is the leader for its links to Croatia and Greece • Bari and Brindisi lead in the links to Albania and Serbia-Montenegro. Traffic with Greece remains considerable. • Traffic with Igoumenitsa and Patras is determined by two large and complimentary components: • The Central Northern European touristic demand for Greece • The demand for import-export transport from Greece to the rest of the Union. • Other significant short sea shipping routes include the ro-ro lines between Trieste and Turkey and Ravenna and Catania. TRAFFICO FERRY e RO-RO SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURES NECESSARY: Dedicated structures in the ports Rapid links to the main road arterials

  16. Maritime traffic in the Adriatic and Ionian basin EU policies on the Adriatic and Ionian basin

  17. EU policies in the ‘ nineties 14 ESSEN Projects(1994) + the Adriatic Corridor included in the following years Completion and modernisation of the transport network in EU Countries 1 Set up of the programme ‘Pan-European Corridors’ : creating a single European geo-economic and geo-political area. 10 Pan-European Corridors Defined during the Conferences of the Ministries of Transport in Crete (1994) and Helsinki (1997) 2

  18. Corridors of the area 9 7 4 5 10 8 + ADRIATIC CORRIDOR

  19. Recent revisions The European guidelines on transport policies are currently under revision. The primary objective is to accelerate the integration process for the Countries of East Europe, through a targeted transport policy. 2001. The first revision project proposed by the Commission. June 2003. Report by a top-level group (Van Miert Report) on new priority projects and new ways of financing of projects. Ottober 2003. New proposal for the revision of priority projects (raised to 29) acknowledging for the most part both the suggestions of the Van Miert Group as well as the amendments proposed in 2001. 2004. The initial amendments to the Commission’s proposal. Final approval by the Council and Parliament is foreseen for June 2004.

  20. New priority projects in the Adriatic and Ionian area • Progect 6: Railway axis on corridor 5: • - Venice-Trieste/Koper-Divaca ( 2015) - Ljubljana – Budapest (2019) • + junction Ronchi Sud – Trieste Divaga • Progect 7 – Completion of via Egnatia – Pathe ( Essen 1994). Enlargement of motorway sections towards Bulgaria and Romania(2010) • Progect 21 - Motorway of the Sea of South East Europe (2010) • Progect 29 – railway axis Adriatic – Ionian in Greek territory (Kozani-Kalambaka-Igoumenitsa – Ioannina-Antirrio-Rio-Kalamata (2014). • + resume Corridor 8 with an extension to Bari and Brindisi 29

  21. Progect 21: The Motorway of the Sea It could grant financing for: • The set up of new navigation services • Interventions designed to modernise port services reserved for short and medium range traffic: ro-ro terminals, logistics equipment, parking areas, installations for truckers. • Infrastructural interventions for port access. • Operations for simplifying customs procedures and electronic systems for Port Authority declarations. It requires: • The interested states to select a limited number of ports which could access this type aid; • Two Member States to present a joint presentation of projects.

  22. Conclusions The new European transport policies constitute a grand opportunity for development, thanks to infrastructural development in the Northern Adriatic, Southern Adriatic and Greece. The Central Area however remains substantially bare: there are currently no priority projects regarding Croatia and as regarding Italy, the Adriatic Corridor has dissappeared from the list of EU Priority projects. The Motorways of the Sea can offer an opportunity to redress UE aids in favour of the central area (Italy).
