The Northern Maritime Corridor Project will develop efficient, safe and sustainable transportation, connecting coastal regions, and enhancing regional development in the Northern Periphery area and in the North Sea region. The project focuses on intermodality; shifting from road haulage to sea transport, and on maritime safety and risk management strategies. The core of the NMC concept is to provide an arena for key actors that can take and/or influence the variety of decisions necessary to implement a competitive, intermodal maritime transport system with door-to-door solutions. The project is being carried out in connection with an Interreg IIIB North Sea project that covers the maritime areas south of the NPP region. Achievements: • Regional maritime clusters have been established • Common guidelines in the form of a series of fact sheets have been produced for the regional partners and a survey has been completed. • A report on risk management strategies was produced and presented • Involvement of a large number of private enterprises to provide feedback and suggestions
