Motorways of the Baltic Sea – approach: Focus on infrastructure and facilities; Improved accessibility and cohesion is of high importance; Horizontal Projects of Wider Benefit:
– Winter navigation / Icebreaking;
– Quality assurance of the main fairways;
– Information systems (one-stop-shop/single window); Corridors-specific projects (port to port); Industry/Administration partnership.

Master Plan Study project - Baltic Sea Winter Motorways: Baltic Sea Icebreaking Web (www.baltice.org) - “single window”
for accurate and up-to-date icebreaking and winter traffic information to vessels, shipping companies etc;
Instruction DVD to inexperienced ice navigators - Describes how low-temperatures affect the ship and how to handle the vessel in sea ice and during icebreaker assistance

Master Plan Study project - Safe major routes:
Existing hydrographical data is not sufficient;
Re-survey scheme of main routes developed and approved by BSHC;
Speed-up of quality assurance will enhance maritime safety Reliable surveyed extended areas allow safe icebreaking.

Border facilities with Russia at Narva/Ivangorod – construction of new road bridge
Motorways of the Baltic Sea - Estonia
Sea Motorway corridors as a part of the broader multimodal transport chain have obvious need for the better utilisation of port infrastructure and good hinterland connections in the single market area - but quite often the bottlenecks related with the border-crossing with the EU neighbouring countries are becoming a serious obstacle to the long distance cargo flow.
