EU Marco Polo funding available for green freight transport projects

25.10.2011

Marco Polo aims to ease road congestion and its attendant pollution by promoting a switch to greener transport modes for European freight traffic. Railways, sea-routes and inland waterways have spare capacity. Companies with viable projects to shift freight from roads to greener modes can turn to Marco Polo for financial support.

The available budget for the 2011 Call is €56.87 million. Novelties of this year's call for proposals include an upfront screening of maritime proposals to avoid potential competition issues. Special environmentally-friendly maritime projects, inland waterway projects and rail projects with single-wagon loads are priorities in 2011.

The call was published on 21 October with a deadline for the submission of proposals of 16 January 2012.
