The project’s aim is to develop, design and set effective Hinterland inter-modal freight transport nodes – dryports – which are fully integrated with the Gateway freight handling systems, to adapt a public concept to a private sector model, and to integrated dryports into the EU Motorways of the Sea concept. The project includes the identification of suitable dryport land sites in the North Sea Region, to start a planning process that will support the increased number of logistics hubs, to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of improved inter-modality, to develop a business model blueprint and to develop and start-up a IT system. All project activities will contribute to connecting the dryports with the short sea shipping system to shift interregional transport from road to sea.
