Abstract

Demand for transport of bulk materials in the north-south relation and transport forecasts on this route, justify the launch of intermodal connection to customers located in the south of Europe, using the Baltic Adriatic Transport Corridor (CETC), the AGN network and the Oder waterway (E30). Transport of valuable bulk cargoes (coking coal, coke, fertilizers), exported from the Upper Silesia area, south to river, rail and sea transport to customers located in SouthEastern Europe, and even further, in Egypt, India, and in China (coking plants, steel mills).
