The new corridor was developed as a shorter way for freight running from Asia or Eastern Africa via the Suez Canal to Northern Europe.
By 2030 the European Union will launch the new Core Network of the Trans-European Transport (TEN-T) corridors. It will include nine transport arteries. Large Infrastructure Projects, the Bulgaria-based company, advocates for extending this network with the new Aegean – Baltic corridor.
“We make a proposal to the European Union to establish a new TEN-T corridor. We officially submitted this proposal. Now it is under scrutiny”, Rumen Markov, owner and general manager of Large Infrastructure Projects, announced when speaking at the RailFreight Summit in Poznań. His company, which is focused on developing pan-European projects, developed the new transport artery between Aegean and Baltic seas. The new initiative was named the ABC+De corridor, which is an acronym from the Aegean Sea – Baltic Sea Connection and the Danube River.
Shorter transit route
The new corridor was developed as a shorter way for freight running from Asia or Eastern Africa via the Suez Canal to Northern Europe. Now, the vessels sailing from the mentioned parts of the world make a big detour: first, they go through Mediterranian Sea, circumnavigate the Iberian peninsula and then head northward.
“We developed this corridor as one of the main routes between Europe, Asia and Africa. Its main goal is to provide a shorter way for the goods from the Suez Canal to a new port on the Aegean Sea and then by a new railway connection from Greece via Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland to a new port on the Baltic Sea”, Markov noted.
