  • Read the Executive Summary of the Bottleneck Analysis Here
    STRING bottleneck analysis for the stretch Oslo – Hamburg Prepared by KombiConsult GmbH (lead partner), Ramboll Norway, Ramboll Sweden and Ramboll Denmark Summary February 2021 Seamless transportation is a prerequisite 1 for growth A high-quality transport infrastructure with sufficient capacity and which is managed efficiently is fundamental for the competitiveness of the economies of the Member States of the European Union (EU). The EU has been contributing to ensure the goal above, amongst other instruments1, through the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) policy. The primary objective for The EU “is to establish a complete and integrated trans-European transport network, covering all Member States and regions and providing the basis for the balanced development of all transport modes in order to facilitate their respective advantages, and thereby maximising the value added for Europe”. The STRING stretch is an integral part of the TEN-T Core Network Corridor Scandinavian-Mediterranean (Scan-Med)2 and already shows a high quality, today. However, and in particular with view on the envisaged completion of the Scan-Med corridor by 2030, still some gaps are expected to remain from today's point of view. Transport and infrastructure bottlenecks can affect the normal flow of transportation, causing unnecessarily long travel times, delays, congestions, costs etc. KombiConsult GmbH and Rambøll have analysed the existing bottlenecks in the STRING - geography outlining future recommended priorities. This paper is a summary of the main findings of the analysis. 1 The White paper 2011 “Roadmap to a single European Transport Area – towards a competitive and resource efficient transport systems with the goal of “A 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport”.
