European Port Strategy

Ports are Europe's gateway to the world. They drive the EU economy, create jobs, enable trade, connect regions, support the industry, and secure energy supplies. As key hubs, they are vital to Europe’s transport network and strategic autonomy.

Despite its benefits, the share of rail traffic remains low in many European ports. To fully leverage rail for both civil and military transport, rail transport must become a key part of the European port strategy. CER therefore calls to set clear measures to raise rail’s market share at ports to at least 30%.
