Policy Area Transport Projects
Objectives of the following projects are related to the Actions of PA Transport. Activities of these projects give their input to the achievement of strategic goals of the EU Baltic Sea Strategy.
Ongoing Projects
BSR Urban Mobility project platform
The BSR Urban Mobility project platform connects cities, regional authorities, and policymakers in a peer learning network to support the implementation of sustainable urban mobility plans and deliver on EU goals for multimodal, zero-emission transport. BSR Urban Mobility consolidates outcomes from 17 EU projects.
The project is led by City of Turku (Finland)

The project is financed by the Horizon Europe
eFTI4EU (Electronic Freight Transport Information for the European Union)
The aim of the project is to create a unified approach to the operation of eFTI Gates, and to implement a reference architecture for exchanging logistics and transport data, which will be piloted through a series of use cases (both at national and cross-border level) in all the 9 Member States directly involved.
The project is led by The Ministry of Climate (Estonia)

The project is financed by CEF (Connenting Europe Facility)
eFTI4ALL project
The eFTI4ALL project builds on eFTI4EU to further implement the eFTI Regulation by engaging additional Member States and economic operators. It will develop and test the eFTI data exchange environment (Gates and Platforms), explore new use cases such as dangerous goods and multimodal transport, and assess interoperability—supporting a fully integrated and streamlined electronic freight transport system across the EU.
The project is led by Trafikverket (Sweden)

The project is financed by CEF (Connenting Europe Facility)
eFTI4LIVE project
The project builds on the ongoing eFTI4EU and eFTI4ALL projects to implement the Electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) system by 2027. It aims to streamline data exchange and ensure compliance with the eFTI Regulation (EU 2020/1056), improving efficiency and sustainability in the freight sector.
The project is led by Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of Spain

Project to develop proof-of concepts for the uptake of H2 derivative fuels (H2Derivatives@BalticSeaPorts)
The adoption of low- and zero-carbon maritime fuels in the Baltic Sea Region depends on the ability of seaports to accommodate hydrogen derivatives such as methanol and ammonia. Key stakeholders like port authorities, terminal operators, maritime fuel providers, and energy suppliers need an understanding of the market, technological developments, bunkering infrastructure, regulations, and public communication strategies. Co-financed by Interreg Baltic Sea Region, the H2Derivatives@BalticSeaPorts (H2Deri@BSP) project would address these needs through collaborative development of proof-of-concepts for hydrogen derivative fuels.
Running from March 2025 to February 2028 under the leadership of Port of Hamburg Marketing, the project aims to enhance stakeholder capacity and accelerate the transition to sustainable maritime operations.

Project Sustainable flow of goods and decreased CO2 emissions of transportation (Sustainable Flow)
The aim of the project is to provide decision-making tools with practical solutions for maritime sector to reduce their CO2 emissions in intermodal/multimodal transport systems. The project focuses on energy savings & renewable energy with the aim to reduce CO2 emissions around 10% from the current level.
The project is led by the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (Finland)

Project Baltic Sea region Active mobiliTy Solutions – in darkness and all weather conditions (BATS)
Project aims to increase walking and cycling year-round, especially during dark and harsh weather conditions, by supporting public authorities in planning and implementing infrastructure, maintenance practices and targeted measures that make active mobility safe, attractive and a realistic alternative to car use. The project strengthens the capacity of local and regional authorities to contribute to low-carbon transport systems through practical, tested solutions.
