This project provides a full freight serv-ice over the shortest sea crossing be- tween Finland and Sweden from Vaasa to Umea. Before the service started in2004, large trucks travelling between the two countries often took the overlandroute round the northern end of the Gulfof Bothnia. This involved a distance of820 kilometres, compared with 90 kilome-
tres and a crossing time of four hours forthe Kvarken Straits sea link.
One of the main problems was that thevessels serving the link were too small.The Marco Polo grant made it possiblefor us to buy the ship we needed to han-dle more and bigger trucks, says RG LineCEO Brje Lassfolk, Without the grant wewould have had to buy a smaller vessel.
The new vessel had more lane metres forcarrying trucks and the gate and freight-deck dimensions allowed for more andlarger loads. We doubled the cargovolume during the project period as setout in our project proposal, says Lass-folk. With the additional capacity, we
were able to market the service moreintensively than before.
Among the problems encountered during the project, Lassfolk lists a paper work-ers strike which reduced cargo volumes,and rising fuel prices.
Lassfolk says the paperwork and report-ing requirements involved in projectslike his can on occasion be detailed andtime-consuming. But he adds: The policyand objectives behind the Marco Poloprogramme are very good.

MARCO POLO LEADS THE WAY
Freight transport clogs Europes roads. Yet its railways, sea routes and inland waterways are under-
used. Marco Polo is an EU programme designed to promote these environment-friendly modes of
transport and to shift freight from congested roads. In this brochure, a number of companies describe
how, with Marco Polo support, they launched rail, short-sea shipping and inland waterway projects
as greener alternatives for handling freight. Their message is clear. To succeed, their projects had to
make economic as well as ecological sense. Many road transport users hesitate to change modes
without clear economic benefit. Contributors all say projects would have been scaled back or not
launched at all without Marco Polo funding during the critical start-up phase. This helped make the
economic case to customers for a switch to rail, short-sea shipping routes or inland waterways. But
this brochure also shows how Marco Polo support added credibility to projects a valuable market-
ing tool and enhanced the green credentials of project participants, another significant benefit.
