Phase 2

ACTION PLANS Phase 1

Each Project Partner has defned an Action Plan identifying the main projects to boost its logistic node, links to hinterland and interconnections. Selected interventions, consistent with the EUSAIR Strategy, are a part of a “global project” in order to promote the planning of transport and logistics projects (Action Plans, T2.1) socioeconomic development of the Adriatic Ionian macro-region and Phase 3: complete the TEN-T network.Project Partners have written 8 Action implementation (Funding Plans, containing at all 27 projects for the socioeconomic development opportunities, T2.3 and T2.4) of the Adriatic Ionian macro-region, of which 19 are hard investments and infrastructures, 8 are soft investments and ICT/digital solutions. THE THREE PHASES AND FOUR ACTIVITIES OF WP T2

Each Project Partner has selected one project from its Action Plan (Act. T2.1) and has carried out a feasibility study, a technical design of infrastructure, an environmental assessment study or a cost- beneft analysis on it. An objective: to verify how to activate an innovative fnancial tool (i.e.: CEF Programme, EFSI, EIB) involving also private sector in fnancing selected projects.

SMART-C CEF Programme grant for the SMART-C Action (total cost 1M Euro) implemented by Central Adriatic Ports Authority on the application of Artifcial Intelligent technology for the digitalization of customs procedures and the tracking of trucks in the port of Ancona. The NEWBRAIN project co-fnanced the cost-efectiveness analysis. VENETO INTERMODAL The technical and economic feasibility study developed by Northern Adriatic Sea port Authority under NEWBRAIN project to develop a new rail link between the South Industrial Area of Marghera and Marghera Scalo Station is one of the Activities of the project fnanced under the CEF Programme. VOLUJICA The port of Bar, on the basis of the Main Design co-fnanced by NEWBRAIN project for reconstruction of the Volujica quay (554 m), could assign the contract for works for a value of 4.989.013,79 EUR. In addition, project of detailed geotechnical investigation of the terrain for extension of the quay Volujica (166m in length) lead to the signature of the contract for the main design of the quay extension.
