Scandinavian Shuttle An efficient transportation link between the Continent and Scandinavia Copenhagen Malmö Rotterdam
Project Plan Feasability study Project idea Realization – Project report – Application documents Application MP Approved Contract mars 2005 Okt 2005 Jan 2006 Dec 2006
Project Idea • Initiated by: Öresund Logistics, Lund University and UBQ • Shuttle: Sweden – Continent, to use railway in greater extent over Öresund bridge • Problems/obstacles: Frames for the project were defined within the “Catalyse Actions”
Feasibility Study 3 barriers • Punctuality/Reliability • Technique – different ATC – and electrical systems • Market – monopoly, difficulties for new operators to establish on the railway market
The EU Marco Polo programme The aim of the Marco Polo programme is to support a shift from road transport to other means of transportation
The Three steps of the Marco Polo programme • A shift from roads to short sea shipping, rail and inland waterways • Elimination of technical and structural obstacles • Enhancement of knowledge in freight logistics and new opportunities
Budget Scandinavian Shuttle € 2.500.000 14% Marco Polo € 16.975.000 86%

As we see it……there are only advantages. And society can´t afford not to invest in the future.
Scandinavian Shuttle – 100% just-in-time • Part of the EU’s Marco Polo program • The European Commission’s program for reducing international volumes of goods being transported by road • Based on intermodal sea and rail solutions
A successful EU – project with carrying power that will keep going. We can and we shall!
