Rail link to Klaipeda included in the trans-European transport network

EU’s TTE Council on Monday adopted a general approach to the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) regulation, which provides for the development of a new European gauge railway line to Klaipėda LT, including the line in the relevant TEN-T maps.

According to the Minister of Transport and Communications of Lithuania Marius Skuodis, this will help to ensure not only better international rail transport interoperability but also the competitiveness of the Klaipėda Seaport.

The high-speed European railway line to Klaipėda should improve the transport and logistics connections in the Baltic region and Eastern Europe. According to the Minister, such infrastructure is necessary for #Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 integration into the TEN-T network, creating an important alternative for Ukrainian cargo exports via the BalticSea ports, both currently and in the future
