Description
"The Orient/East-Med Corridor connects North/central Europe with the maritime interfaces of the North, Baltic, Black and Mediterranean seas, making the best of Motorways of the Sea ports, crossing 9 Member States. It will foster the development of those ports as major multimodal logistic platforms and will improve the multimodal connections of major economic centres in Central Europe to the coastline, using rivers such as the Elbe and the Danube. The length of the corridor infrastructure sums up to approximately 5.900 km (rail),
5.600 km (road) and 1.600 km of IWW" (Work Plan of the European Coordinator Mathieu Grosch 2015: 3-4).
