The European Commission has approved the joint infrastructure project Rostock Port – Port of Hanko under the CEF Transport Call 2024.

Together, the ports will invest nearly €30 million to enhance maritime and intermodal transport capacity. Around €14 million of that will be allocated to Rostock, with 50% co-financing from the EU.

In Rostock, the project includes:

• Extension of the intermodal terminal tracks to 680 m to strengthen rail freight.
• Construction of new pre-staging areas and optimisation of logistics flows.

These upgrades will significantly boost multimodal transport, support climate-friendly logistics, and reinforce the maritime corridor between Finland and continental Europe.
