Research for TRAN Committee – The ‘Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor’ in the regions of Catania, Augusta and Naples

Background

The Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor runs from the Finnish ports up to the ports of La Spezia, Livorno, Ancona, Bari, Taranto, Naples, Gioia Tauro, Augusta and Palermo and, through a 'Motorway of the Sea' to Valletta (the Brenner base tunnel is part of it). The completion of the whole corridor is estimated at €202.4bn (of which €132.5bn is for rail and €10.8bn for maritime projects).This overview was prepared for the mission of the European Parliament Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) to Catania, Augusta and Naples (13-15 February 2018). It provides a status report on the main regional transport infrastructure in the context of the 'Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor'.
