EU funds port development

The EU's TEN-T Programme is to provide function of over US$1 million for development studies of the Austrian port of Linz, an important intersection of continuously increasing international freight flows between inland water, rail and road transport. The project aims to increase the port's capacity to receive larger inland water, rail and road transport flows.

The EU's TEN-T Programme is to provide function of over US$1 million for development studies of the Austrian port of Linz, an important intersection of continuously increasing international freight flows between inland water, rail and road transport. The project aims to increase the port's capacity to receive larger inland water, rail and road transport flows.

The project features design studies for the expansion of the tri-modal terminal at the port to address its growing needs. It will deliver a master plan for port development, as well as detailed and executive designs to prepare the construction.

The project was selected for EU funding with the assistance of external experts under the TEN-T Multi-Annual Call 2013, priority projects. Its implementation will be monitored by INEA, the 1690 European Commission's Innovation and Networks Executive Agency. The project is to be completed by the end of 2015.

    Develop transport infrastructure in Central and Eastern Europe, say MEPs
    Maximising the use of EU funding is needed to reduce disparities in infrastructure development between Central and Eastern Europe and the rest of the EU, MEPs say in a resolution voted in the European Parliament on Tuesday. The focus should be on completing the TEN-T corridors, bridging missing links, removing bottlenecks and improve connections between different modes of transport. So far most of the transport infrastructure projects planned to be financed by European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFS
