The current study is concentrating on intermodal cargo transportation via Amber Coast ports. Intermodal cargo transportation is a multimodal transport of goods transported in one and the same intermodal transport unit by successive modes of transport without handling of the goods themselves when changing modes. Thus in general the subject of this study is operational aspects of transportation of containers, Ro-Ro units, swap-bodies etc. The study is focusing on all operations within the port that are directly related to maritime – land interface and intermodal cargo handling in transportation chain: vessel - terminal - mode of transportation. The study is examining the Amber Coast ports – Ferryport Sassnitz, Elblag, Klaipeda, Riga, Ventspils, Køge, associated ACL Project partner port of Kaliningrad and other ports connected to the Amber Coast such as Tallinn, Liepaja, Gdansk, Gdynia, and St. Petersburg.

Research methodology The current study analyses of operational aspects in the ports in the field of intermodal cargo transportation. In order to evaluate the existing situation in Amber Coast ports, several research methods were used. The first step in evaluating of the existing situation was setting the criteria and creating indicators for assessing the
