9. NMC som den femte MoS: ”Motorway of the Northern Seas” High Level Group i EU foreslår forlengelse av MoS i Western Europe til Barentsregionen Støtte til utarbeidelse av en Master Plan for MoS for Nordsjøen/Nordlige havområder Utvikle konsept for polysentrisk havnestruktur Nye nærsjø-initiativ (ruter, ICT) Fokus på å gjøre intermodalitet ”usynlig” for markedet, dør-til-dør og one-stop-shopping Nettverksbygging med Russland Videreføring av NMC

10. 06Improving Connection between Gateways and the HinterlandNew Innovative Regional Transport Development Concepts

11. Network Organisation Infrastructure Knowledge Base Education Five interaction cornerstones

12. Sustaccess – a bottom up approach6 cases – 8 ”concepts”

13. The regional projects: Output from the Sustaccess project: Development of concepts Pilot projects Marketing/ positionating • Catalogue: • New concepts – developing interaction between gateways and the hinterland • Best practise case • Regional effects: • Improvements of the regional transport systems • New networks between the regions The study tours: Education Transport- Centre (GVZ) Rail Develop- ment Marketing Clustering

15. INTERREG IIIB project REMARCC • WP1 North Sea Logistic Cluster • A situation analysis of each port region has been performed using the SWOT method (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats). • The regions • Bremen/Bremerhaven and Lower Saxony are German partners • Belgium: Flanders • England: Yorkshire and the Humber region • Denmark: Jutland • Sweden: the region of Gothenburg • Norway: the regions around the ports of Borg, Oslo, Grenland and Kristiansand

16. REMARCC WP1 - North Sea Logistics Clusters • “NSLC carry out a current analysis on actors, structures, strategies, systems and logistics/information processes in waterborne transport; assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT); propose improvement measures on various responsibility levels; take actions to implement these measures. As such it contributes to all three strategic working areas.” • The three working areas mentioned in the quotation, are: • Regional strategies for logistic competences • Regional strategies for logistic optimisation • Regional strategies for logistic marketing

17. The findings in REMARCC WP1 • Door to Door or Supply Chain perspective • Fragmentation in policy institutions • Hinterland connections • The role of Ports • Mode interchange, efficiency, seamless transfer. Rail. IWW. • ICT • Environment

18. The gap keep increasing • Freight transport volumes grow with no clear signs of decoupling from GDP • Greenhouse gas emissions from transport are growing • Road freight continues to gain market share • Car occupancy and lorry load factors decline in countries for which data are available • New technology can cut emissions and fuel consumption, but more effort is needed to achieve CO2 targets • Price structures are increasingly aligned with and yet well below external costs level

19. REMARCC recommendation 1 • The North Sea Commission in cooperation with the North Sea countries and the European Union should develop a North Sea Region Framework for Intermodal Transport Policy.

20. REMARCC recommendation 2 • The position as the North Sea Region intermodal transport facilitator and observer should be established.

21. REMARCC recommendation 3 • The EU should as an extension of its intermodal transport policy define the information system as part of the basic intermodal transport infrastructure and provide a grant system to fund such systems in selected intermodal ports.

22. Future for North Sea Region • The problems are many and have been identified • The solutions are evident, but difficult to apply • A global approach is required involving all players – local, national and European • North Sea Region strategy for IMT must continually be developed!

23. Nordisk Transportpolitisk Netværk: Transportkorridorer Interreg IIIB projekt afsluttet 31/12 2005. Trafikdage på Aalborg Universitet 29. august 2006

24. Korridoren Mission: • En transportkorridor med valgmuligheder karakteriseret ved effektive og bæredygtige transportløsninger på tværs af landegrænser. Vision: • Transport skal være en styrkeposition for regionerne i korridoren. • Et kompetent netværk i aktivt samspil med politik, erhverv, eksperter og forvaltning i de regioner, korridoren dækker - synligt nationalt og internationalt.

25. Strategi 1. NTN korridoren som platform for internationalt samarbejde 2. Bedre beslutningsgrundlag 3. En korridor med valgmuligheder 4. Bæredygtig transport 5. En hydrogenkorridor

26. NTN korridoren som platform forinternationalt samarbejde 1. Synliggøre resultater og faglige fund fra projektet 2. Videreføre og opdatere hjemmesiden 3. Afholde årlig NTN konference 4. Positionere korridoren i national og international transportpolitik 5. Styrke den regionale planlægning ved internationalt perspektiv

27. Bedre beslutningsgrundlag 6. Vedligeholde statistikdatabase og overvåge trafikudvikling

28. En korridor med valgmuligheder 7. Udvikle korridoren som intermodal korridor

29. Bæredygtig transport 8. Etablere og vedligeholde bæredygtighedsindikatorer 9. Regional politik for bæredygtig godstransport

30. En hydrogenkorridor 10.Sikre nordisk samarbejde om Hydrogenkorridoren - Nordsøen? • Europæisk? • World wide?

31. Debatemner • Hvordan sikres formidling og konsolidering erfaringer og resultater fra projekterne? - fx. I forhold til industrien og transporterhvervet • Kan gennemførelse af projekter som de her viste bidrage til udvikling af samspil mellem videncentrene, erhvervsliv og myndigheder i regionen. • Forbedringsmuligheder og andre perspektiver som peger fremad i forhold til næste programperiode.
