3. 1. Introduction
The WiderMoS project, acronym selected for the “Wide
Interoperability and new governance moDels for freight
Exchange linking Regions through Multimodal maritime
based cOrridorS” project’s name, is an initiative engaged to the
purposes of the Trans European Transport Network promoting and
strengthening seamless transport chains for passenger and freight,
keeping up with future technological trends by:
• Setting options and opportunities for the future deployment of
MoS,
• assessing its potential as the maritime dimension of TEN-T,
MOS as the 10th Corridor

4. 2. TEN-T Corridors and Motorways of the Sea
The new TEN-T regulation adds that Motorways of the sea represent the maritime
dimension of the trans-European transport network.
The new regulation contains a new approach within all the transport
infrastructure is designed with two layers:
• the "comprehensive network”, a general network reaching all regions and
ensuring that all citizens and businesses have easy access to European
transport;
• the "core network”, covering the main transport streams between capitals,
large urban nodes, major ports and border crossing points, identified with an
objective methodology
Motorways of the Sea are the maritime dimension of the TEN-T network. By improving
Maritime and Ports operations, MoS will allow the development of the underlying
skeleton of the new multimodal core network corridors. It is the Priority Project 21 for
INEA.

6. 3. The Policy behind
Directive 2010/65/EU: Directive 2010/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 20 October 2010 on “reporting formalities for ships arriving in and/or
departing from ports of the Member States” This directive applies to the reporting
formalities applicable to maritime transport for ships arriving in and ships departing
from ports in European Union (EU) countries.
Electronic transmission of data
EU countries shall accept electronic reports via a single window as soon as possible
and, at the latest, by 1 June 2015. The single window will be the place where all
information is reported once and made available to various competent authorities and
the EU countries. EU countries must ensure that information received in accordance
with reporting formalities is made available in their national SafeSeaNet systems and
make available parts of such information to other EU countries via the SafeSeaNet
system.

7. 4. WiderMoS Project

8. 4. WiderMoS Project
Three main activities with a close relation between them
 A prospective study for MOS in 2020 and beyond with an analysis about
what we have to do for improving MOS and for building the best link
between the maritime side and the inland side in the logistic Corridors
 A study of feasible governance models for the Core network corridors
with an analysis on 4 specific topics
 5 pilot projects in the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Baltic sea focused on
the development of an IT Corridor Management Platform
With the aim of:
• Setting options and opportunities for the future deployment of
MoS,
• assessing its potential as the maritime dimension of TEN-T, MOS
as the 10th Corridor

9. 4. WiderMoS Project
• 4 + 1 countries (Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal and Poland)
• 16 beneficiaries
• 10 supporters
• 26 stakeholders
• Full set of maritime and logistic stakeholders

10. 4. WiderMoS Project
Beneficiaries = full partners of the consortium with role and responsibilities
allocated and budgeted in the description of WiderMos activities
Supporters = actors that a local level will support the development of CMP
Stakeholders = actors that will mainly support the MoS study and the
analysis of the Governance Models of the Priority Corridors

11. 5. Corridor Management Platform
• acting as a logistic single window for the integration of sea – based transport
services in the logistic chain and
• bridging the port of La Spezia, Barcelona, Leixoes, Rostock and Kiel with the
related core network corridors
The CMP must guarantee:
 Interoperability between the sea and the land transport modes
 Communication in the supply chain between all the actors
 Ship – port – train – Hinterland interfaces

The aim of this project
activity is to deliver a MoS
Prospective Study setting up
the main strategic line of
directions for MoS in
between 2015 and 2020,
linked to the new governance
corridors dimensions and
assessing the potential of
MoS as the 10 Corridors and
the maritime dimension of
TEN-T.

19. 8. Conclusions
• Up to know, the WiderMoS project has collected some stakeholders and user
needs regarding the complexity of the management of the whole Transport Chain.
The Corridors are the physical way but they require a huge work to demonstrate
Governmental Interoperability applying A2A policies.
• At private level, the institutions involved need to demonstrate that new or improved
corridors based on the Core Network corridors are feasible in terms of the amount
of freight, the turnovers, the profits, the connections availability and the most
important, the movement of transport means must be occupied in both directions.
• The limitations for the use of trains for cargo and freight of goods in combination
with other modes, are complex because of the management of empty containers,
frequency of trains and offer availability.
