NSR Connect, Project Supervision: HHM, Duration: 07/2020 – 06/2023
The focus of the NSR Connect project is on investigating successfully implemented innovations for cargo handling and hin- terland transport in ports on the North Sea. The original consortium leader unexpectedly withdrew in 2019, and so since the end of the year has been pre- paring to take over super- vision of the project.

Under the title ‘Blue Supply Chains’, a development proposal was placed in the latest ‘seed money’ call in the Baltic programme, which primarily involves such topics as intermodal transport and emission reduction.
