Traduction de «mode en arrière » (Français → Anglais) :

This calls for optimal interconnection of modes – for example, through hinterland connections of maritime and inland waterway ports or through railway connections to airports – and the inclusion of major projects in intelligent transport systems.

19. Considers that maritime and river transport cannot be considered in isolation from land and air transport and that links to a port’s hinterland are of great importance to its commercial success, and it is therefore necessary to establish interconnections between ports, inland logistics platforms and ‘dry ports’; with this in mind, also believes that the co-modal participation of ports is needed in relation to both the trans-European transport networks (TEN-Ts) and the future Community green corridors to ensure better exploitation of transport capacities in the area of cabotage and river transport, and also as regards connections with land and ai ...[+++]r transport, so as to ensure a coherent and genuine transport policy;

60. Considers that, in future, goods transport bottlenecks are more likely to occur in the connections between ports and European land transport networks, rather than in the reception capacities of ports; considers that, if the best use is to be made of the maritime transport possibilities, European ports must have the best possible hinterland connections available to them, and therefore calls for them to be developed where necessary, giving priority to more environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as rail and inland waterways;

The concept is a part of a broad strategy which encompasses the Motorways of the Sea project and new SSS services via the Marco Polo programme and the TEN-T projects, more transparent port dues, efficient rail and waterway links with the port hinterland and lower impact of ports and vessels on the environment.
