Baltic Transport Outlook 2030 is a project for the future transport system in
the Baltic Sea Region, targeted at decision-makers in transport and logistics.
Contracted by the transport ministries of all countries in the Baltic Sea
Region and attended by the European Commission, the project will show challenges
and possibilities of the transport system in the Baltic Sea Region. The core of
the project is a study that will map the transport infrastructure in the Baltic
Sea Region and the flows of goods and passengers - between the countries in the
region and between the region and other areas. The study will present scenarios
for developments until 2030 and recommendations to managers of the Baltic Sea
Region Transport System. The project is a strategic priority of the Baltic Sea
Strategy that was adopted by the European Council in October 2009 and it was
initiated by the Swedish government.
18 March 2011 the second BTO workshop was held in Schwerin, Germany. This event
provided a unique possibility to discuss the content of the project, in
particular the scenarios for the future development of the Baltic Sea transport
system. The purpose was to anchor the whole BTO process with a broader group of
stakeholders (public as well private) in the Baltic Sea transport system and get
input to the upcoming SWOT analysis that will be the basis for recommendations
to decision makers in the Baltic Transport System.
The BTO workshop on 18 March was held in conjunction with an open session of
CPMR-BSC Transport Working Group on 17 March. The presentations of the BTO
workshop and the CPMR-BSC meeting can be found below.
