The EU MOSES (‘Motorway of the sea European style’) project addresses questions of their organisational and technological efficiency. The ‘motorways of the sea’ concept aims at introducing new maritime-based logistics chains in Europe, which should bring about a structural change in the organisation of European freight transport, creating more sustainable and more commercially efficient chains than road-only transport. Fuller use will have to be made not only of European maritime transport resources, but also of the potential in rail and inland waterway. The MOSES project is developing a new intermodal approach. http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=FP6_PROJ&ACTION=D&DOC=19&CAT=PROJ&QUERY=1204198906461&RCN=85688 . EU MOSES project
