The objective of this project is to upgrade the existing rail ferry link between the ports of Trelleborg (Sweden) and Sassnitz (Germany) in order to increase the share of rail and intermodal transport on the Swedish-German corridor in particular and the Sweden-Central Europe/Italy corridor.

Improving the existing rail ferry service by offering more capacity, more efficiency, faster handling in the ports and more flexibility due to the option of a sixth departure (in peak demand periods only), will help it compete with alternative and less sustainable routes on this transport corridor.
