  • Containerization of the Baltic

References 39 Preface The introduction of new big container ships sends waves on established transport systems and illustrates the need to satisfy the demand for ports enabling efficient loading and unloading. This study is an attempt to throw light on the impact of containerization on the accessibility of ports at the Baltic Sea with attention paid to the changing conditions after the fall of the Wall. Former locked in areas have become hinterlands of ports serving the international market. EU has strengthened this integration in efforts made in Interreg-programs exemplified by the Baltic Link stretching from Trondheim in the North via Gothenburg to Adriatic ports in the South.
