Combine
The COMBINE project aimed to enhance the share of combined transport (CT) in the Baltic Sea Region to make transport more efficient and environmentally friendly.
The project has gained a lot of valuable results and insights, on this site you can take part in them via webinars, podcasts, an e-book and written articles.
The COMBINE project was led by Port of Hamburg Marketing and implemented together with 14 partners from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Sweden and was funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme.
On this page, you who work in transport ministries and administrations or work as a forwarder, transporter and industrial operator can take part in the project's results so that you can optimize the transport chain into an efficient one and thus save money and the environment's resources.

Combine webinars
A series of webinars about combined transport were recorded during the project. Here you can watch presentations about zero-emission transport systems and the role of combined terminals in the cargo shift from road to rail & waterway, Intermodal perspective, policy and legislative initiatives of the EU, standardization and digitalization in COMBINED TRANSPORT, EU Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and much more!
E-book on Combined Transport in the Baltic Sea Region
The COMBINE partnership developed this e-book to describe all combined transport related issues in the Baltic Sea Region, e.g., terminals with their service portfolio, operators, and other stakeholders. Most important rules and regulations as well as the most promising last mile solutions and handling technologies have been looked at in a BSR-centric manner.
The publication is the result of the work of many teams working within the framework of the COMBINE Interreg BSR project in the years 2019-2021. The ambition of the authors was to present as comprehensively as possible the issues of organization, operation, and development of combined transport with particular emphasis on the Baltic Sea Region.

Cargo flows in BSR
The dashboard on top interactively presents Eurostat data (Official EU statistical data) on goods flows in the BSR using waterways/rail/road. You have several options available to generate a view that suits you to answer your questions. If you are specifically interested in road-rail combined transport, you may use the lower dashboard that uses UIC/UIRR data as a source.
