Technical Support to the Port Authority of Igoumenitsa for the implementation of the project “Adriamos”
The ADRIAMOS project, initiated by the Port Authorities of Venice and Igoumenitsa, aimed at introducing a new MoS corridor connecting the two ports and enhancing cooperation between Veneto and Ipeiros, their wider regions, as well as Italy and Greece.
The core activity was the development of a 4-step transport model including road, rail and maritime links for the Adriatic-Ionian area. The creation and evaluation of four different scenarios was undertaken following model development.
Within this framework our role included:
- The modal shift calculation, including the forecast of freight flows attracted by the proposed MoS corridor (Venice-Igoumenitsa), especially from road and – to a lesser extent – from the rail network, so as to evaluate both viability and operational characteristics. A 4-step transport model including road, rail and maritime links was developed for the Adriatic-Ionian area, four different scenarios, with different transport networks were examined. Three different time horizons, 2010, 2025 and 2030 were determined as being critical for the estimation of freight flows.
