What is an intermodal bottleneck? An intermodal bottleneck is an actual or perceived negative characteristic of an intermodal door-to-door transport chain that makes intermodal transport less attractive than unimodal transport.
Where are intermodal bottlenecks located? Terminal 1 Border crossing Intermodal Terminal 2 Border crossing Origin Terminal Unimodal Destination Terminal

Conclusions 1. A well developed infrastructure is one of the main prerequisites for the quality of a business location. This is the highest priority in the European Transport policy 2. A transport corridor, which is on the highest standard of technical knowledge influences the whole prosperity of a region and provides an increase of the GDP. 3. The Danube Corridor under the rules of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region is the baqckbone of a business prosperiy and social cohesion in the whole region.
What are the expectations of the inland navigation sector towards the EU strategy for the Danube region? River Information Services (RIS): what are the additional benefits in Climate change: is inland navigation the only possibility to create sustainable transport?
