Ensuring Sustainable Freight Carriage through Interoperability between Maritime and Rail Transport

With increasing freight flows and their carriage, sustainability in the transport sector is one of today’s key challenges. With expanding geographical coverage of consumers, manufacturers and all participants in the logistics chain, sustainable carriage is becoming a considerable challenge, which ca...
