Service description

• RoPax ferry service between Germany (Rostock) and Denmark (Gedser) operating as “traffic machine”, i.e.– High frequency (18 trips p.d.) and

– Very short port time (approx. 15 min.).

• Market defined by trade of Denmark with Germany and CEE countries service = most efficient transport option.

• In late 2000’s the maritime link operated at capacity limits:– > 100.000 lorries and 270.000 cars p.a.,

– Ferry utilisation > 70% (annual average).

• Part of global project to improve trans-European transport axes/ network incl.– Rail connection Berlin – Rostock,

– Port access roads, and

– TEN-T priority project 1.

Main objectives

• Improve capacity and quality of key European transport infrastructure and strengthen seaborne transport solutions.

• Increase competitiveness of link and thereby of the whole TEN-T:– Cost efficient supply (BAF ↓, capacity ↑),

– Possibility of hourly departures.

• Improve environmental performance:– Efficient state-of-the-art vessels,

– Improved port access in Gedser, and

– Reduced Nykoping city traffic,

– Saving of 1 mt of CO2 over 30 years.

• Avoid inefficient road detours (approx. 20 bn t-km over 30 years) and share of intermodal transport of 6% (by 2017).

• Contribute to social welfare, e.g.– NPV (incremental) of some 100 m€;

– Time saving of 180.000 hrs p.a.

• 2 new RoPax vessels were ordered in early 2010; deliveries are scheduled for Feb. and May 2012.

• Main port infrastructure works are planned accordingly; completion planned for Q2 2012.

• Planning works are in advanced stages; permits etc. have been received or final consultation ongoing; no relevant EIA issue pending.

Expectations and suggestions

• Expectations Gather detailed information of other MoS projects of the 2010 call;

Exchange experiences (application, difficulties, project emphases etc.);

Establish contact with other project managers/ partners, in particular LNG, IT and Danish hub-and-spoke-projects.

• Suggestions Establish information exchange platform (e.g. at TEN-T EA);

Invite also other previous/ running Baltic projects to annual cluster meeting;

Support interaction with other European clusters (North sea, Atlantic, MED).
