4 1. Introduction The report describes the contribution of the CEF Transport Programme over the period from 2014 to 2017 to the implementation of the Scandinavian Mediterranean Corridor (Scan-Med Corridor) in line with the latest Work Plan of the European Coordinator. The report gives a detailed account of the objectives of the CEF funded Actions that are underway or have recently started their implementation. The report also presents the achievements of the completed CEF Actions along the Corridor. The Scan-Med Corridor is a crucial north-south axis for the European economy. The regions of this Corridor generate about 20% of the EU's GDP with an above EU-average income per capita of 33,700 EUR. It is the largest corridor in terms of the core network length. From the border with Russia in Finland, the Corridor crosses major urban centres in Scandinavia (Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen), passes through Germany, Austria and Italy and extends, across the Mediterranean Sea, to Malta. The length of the Corridor accounts for 9,277 km of core rail and 6,279 km of core road sections. It includes 25 core ports, 19 core airports, 45 core intermodal terminals and 19 core urban nodes. Rail and road are the dominant modes across the Corridor. transport dominates Southern and especially Northern ends of the Corridor. The most important Actions in this Corridor are the Fehmarnbelt fixed link and the Brenner Base Tunnel (BBT), including their respective access routes. The main issues identified in the latest Work Plan of the European Coordinator are translated into priorities of the Corridor that are to be tackled. Firstly, capacity issues especially in rail transport remain a major challenge that causes instability of operations and delays. Secondly, different standards between countries make cross-border cooperation and implementation of cross-border Actions harder. Thirdly, a stronger focus on environmental aspects within Actions, such as deployment of green fuels or the greening of ports is also highlighted. Finally, increased publicprivate cooperation is suggested with the aim to attract more private financing into the Corridor's implementation. The portfolio of CEF Actions contributes to the fulfilment of all of these priorities. Among others, the 2017 Blending Call was focusing solely on Actions incorporating private and public financing, thus leveraging extensive amounts of private financing on the Scan-Med Corridor. A number of CEF Actions address missing links such as the Fehmarnbelt fixed link and the Brenner Base Tunnel. They largely remove capacity issues and will address important bottlenecks. Finally, a major focus is put on the greening of infrastructure across all modes of transport, especially within road and maritime transport. 3

5 2. Action portfolio: State of play 1 CEF Transport has so far awarded grants worth 22.3 billion with a total investment in the European economy of 46 billion. The current portfolio of Actions on the Scan-Med Corridor comprises 69 grant agreements 2 allocating 2.3 billion of actual CEF Transport funding (corresponding to 11% of total number of CEF Transport Actions and 10% of total actual CEF Transport funding). There have been no terminations or closures of these grant agreements so far Operational Implementation The Core Network Corridor priority (under Funding Objective 1) represents 90% of actual CEF Transport funding for the Scan-Med corridor. Other priorities also contribute to the development of the Corridor, notably Motorways of the Sea (under Funding Objective 3). Most of the funding for the Scan-Med portfolio is drawn from the general CEF funding envelope. The portfolio is dominated by multinational Actions, which absorb around 83% of the grants allocated to this Corridor. 79% of the actual CEF Transport funding is linked to works Actions. The highest number of Actions is recorded under the road transport mode while rail Actions receive by far most of the actual funding (89%). Actions on this Corridor are expected to address 18 bottlenecks, regarding mainly cross-border rail sections. Inland Waterways is not part of the Scan- Med corridor.

6 In total the maritime portfolio of the Scan-Med Corridor is composed of 19 Actions, receiving 86.5 million in CEF Transport funding. Actions belonging to this transport mode will address 2 bottlenecks and equip the ports of the North-South axis with supply points for alternative fuels. The CEF maritime portfolio on the Scan-Med Corridor is composed of 3 Actions under the Core Network Corridor priority, which receive 22.2 million, and 16 Actions under the Motorways of the Seas (MoS) priority, which receive 64.3 million. As shown in the map of section 2.1.3, the core ports of the Northern part of the Corridor are benefitting the most of the CEF Transport funding allocated in this mode. The maritime CEF portfolio on the Scan-Med Corridor contributes to the development of two pillars of MoS, namely environment and the integration of maritime transport in the logistics chain. These Actions are funded with 45 million and 19.3 million respectively by the CEF Transport Programme. The Actions addressing the environmental pillar are mainly based on the mandatory compliance with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and the applicable EU Directive on alternative fuels. As such, they aim to install onshore power supply, waste water facilities in ports and vessels as well as increase the number of LNG refuelling points for ships and hybridisation of vessels. Notably, a recently completed Action resulted in the operation of the largest hybrid vessel in the world between the ports of Rostock and Gedser. Another Action was similarly successful in delivering its environmental goals as waste water facilities were installed in the port of Turku, onshore power supply in the ports of Stockholm and Turku and a reference plant converting waste heat into electricity on board of a vessel operating between the ports of Turku and Stockholm. The objective of the integration of maritime transport in the logistics chain pillar is to improve the connectivity and to increase the capacity and efficiency of seaports to enhance the accessibility of maritime transport. As a result, the Actions under this pillar facilitate the integration of different modes of transport within the Corridor as well as with other Core Network Corridors. These Actions tackle the improvement of terminals and berths of ports, such as check-in areas, marshalling yards, port entrances and handling and storage facilities. As shown in the map of section 2.13, the CEF funding helps upgrading the operations of Corridor core ports such as Rostock, Trelleborg, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Turku. Consequently, the efficiency of maritime links is increased within the Corridor as well as with other core ports of the North and the Baltic Seas. In the Southern part of the Corridor in Ancona, another CEF Action aims to upgrade the maritime link with two other Mediterranean core ports and to achieve better integration of the logistics chains in Italy. The maritime transportation in this respect remains an important mode to secure the cargo flows from/to Scandinavia and continental Europe Multimodal In total the multimodal portfolio in the Scan-Med Corridor is composed of 12 Actions, receiving 41.1 million in CEF Transport funding. Actions belonging to this transport mode will address one bottleneck. Mainly urban nodes of the Northern part of the Corridor are implementing multimodal Actions. In Finland, the multimodal connections of Helsinki's airport are being assessed through a CEF funded study. In parallel, another CEF Action is performing the necessary studies for the development of the rail-road terminal of the multimodal logistics platform in the city of Kouvola, which is located 5

7 on the northernmost part of the Corridor near the border with Russia. In Sweden, the CEF portfolio helps preparing the required designs for building a new double-track high-speed railway between the airport and the city of Gothenburg. Another CEF Action aims to install and construct infrastructure for a green and sustainable public transport in the urban node of Malmo. In southern Germany, CEF funding assists in conducting the pre-construction studies for extending a rail section extending the high speed rail network of the Scan-Med Corridor to Munich airport with a view to better connecting the airport to the city centre and the Rhine Danube corridor. In the area of innovation, CEF funding helps to develop studies for planning and designing a liquefaction and supply facility for Liquefied Biogas (LBG) in view to construct a LBG plant at the port of Bremen. The Action intends to use a new innovative technology for production and supply of alternative fuels for multimodal transportation. In addition, the CEF Action GAINN4MED is deployed along the Corridor in Italy with the aim to establish a network of six L-CNG filling stations to contribute to the decarbonisation of road and maritime transport Rail The rail portfolio of the Scan-Med Corridor is composed 14 Actions, receiving 2 billion in CEF Transport funding. Actions belonging to this transport mode will address 13 bottlenecks. Figure 2: Improved railway lines (number of km) Km of railway adapted to the European Nominal Gauge standard 96 Km of ERTMS first deployment 448 Km of line tracks and sidings electrified 122 Km of freight lines improved The majority of the rail CEF Actions, i.e. around 90% of the allocated grants, are of a cross-border nature and address key missing links and major bottlenecks for both freight and passenger traffic on the Corridor. In this regard, the Brenner Base Tunnel between Austria and Italy and the Fehmarnbelt tunnel between Germany and Denmark are key Actions of the Corridor, as shown in the map below. Both intend to facilitate faster travel times on cross-border sections of the Corridor by enabling accessibility to a new railway infrastructure and consequently transferring freight and passengers from road to rail. The Brenner Base Tunnel Actions have been progressing. The executive planning, the environmental monitoring, the authorisation procedures, the preparation and launch of tenders and the excavation 3 ERTMS first deployment means equipping a railway line section which was not equipped with the system before. 6

8 of parts of the exploratory tunnel proceed without interruptions. By the end of 2017, 76 km of tubes of the railway tunnel were excavated corresponding to 33% of the total length. The Fehmarnbelt fixed link has also advanced in establishing contracts with the successful bidders in 2016 and in completing the second round of public hearings required for the German plan approval. The works for the 18 km tunnel will start only once the plan is approved by the competent German authorities. On the access routes to Fehmarnbelt the German side is implementing the planning and design studies, while the Danish side is executing the works for the railway section between Ringsted and Rodby (as selected under the Blending Call). In other parts of the Corridor as shown in the map below, the Actions are aimed at enhancing the infrastructure of rail freight lines. In Germany, the first phase of works to construct the new Kattwyk rail freight bridge of Hamburg port was completed in 2016, ahead of schedule. The Action aims to improve the future flow of rail freight traffic in and to the port. In Sweden, a CEF Action will enhance the capacity on the main freight line by constructing a new double track on the section Hallsberg Degerön. As a result 13 km of railway line of the Corridor will be adapted to the European gauge. Additionally, two CEF funded studies are addressing rail capacity constraints faced in two nodes of the Corridor, Hamburg and Helsinki. The ERTMS portfolio on the Corridor amounts to 38.8 million. It helps the design and the trackside deployment of ERTMS Level 2, Baseline 3 through 448 km (in double-track equivalent) of the Danish, German and Italian railway sections of the Scan-Med Corridor. One particular Action focuses on the ERTMS deployment at the German borders with Denmark and Austria and the Italian border with Austria. Overall, ERTMS Actions attempt to contribute to rail interoperability across the Corridor. 7

10 In total the road portfolio in the Scan-Med Corridor is composed of 24 Actions, receiving million in CEF Transport funding. The CEF road portfolio of the Scan-Med Corridor is very diverse covering Actions in the area of physical infrastructure, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and innovation. Actions belonging to this transport mode will address two bottlenecks. In the area of road infrastructure, CEF Transport funding is allocated to improve safety and will address traffic bottlenecks of the Scan-Med Corridor. As shown in the map below, Actions in Malta aim to upgrade the road infrastructure between the port and airport of Valetta for the modal interconnection along the pre-identified section Marsaxlokk-Luqa-Valletta. Another CEF Action is being implemented on the Brenner stretch of the road network of the Corridor in view to investigate a possible expansion of parking facilities for trucks. The road network of the Scan-Med Corridor is also implementing 4 ITS Actions. The CEF Transport funding amounts to a total of 34.8 million and focuses on the implementation of the applicable EU Directive for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems. On the Northern part of the Corridor, from Finland to Northern Germany, CEF Actions aim to enhance the performance of ITS services of the road network in terms of efficiency, reliability, environmental impact, safety and security. The CEF Action NEXT-ITS 2 has already achieved ITS services that are harmonised, interoperable and deployed at the Corridor level. Based on these results the follow-up CEF Action NEXT-ITS 3 will further deploy ITS services along the Corridor. On the Southern part of the Corridor, namely Southern Germany and Italy, another CEF Action, URSA MAJOR neo, has started the deployment of ITS services for international freight traffic. In the area of innovation the Scan-Med Corridor has a portfolio of 15 CEF Actions addressing the needs of e-mobility, connecting hydrogen refuelling infrastructure as well as developing the LNG/L- CNG network. It is expected to install 455 supply points for alternative fuels for road transport, namely 417 electric, 15 LNG, 9 CNG, and 14 H 2 supply points across the Corridor. The largest number of charging stations of electric vehicles will be located on the Northern part of the corridor, mainly in Sweden, Denmark and Germany. On the contrary, the Southern side and Finland are deploying more LNG/CNG stations for maritime and road use.

12 2.2. Financial implementation The state-of-play of the financial implementation of the Scan Med portfolio is shown in the figure below. The effective payment 4 (including pre-financing) corresponds to million and therefore 9% of the actual CEF Transport funding for the corridor. As a consequence of the interim cost claims introduced by the beneficiaries, costs corresponding to CEF-T funding of 96 million have been accepted so far (4% of the actual CEF Transport funding). Figure 4: Financial implementation ratios ( million) 2,287.5 (100%) (9%) 96 (4%) Actual Funding Effective Payment Effective Accepted Contribution Figure 5 gives an overview of the estimated financial progress, in terms of total estimated costs, of the overall portfolio. Effective payments and effective contribution at the end of 2017 may appear as relatively low. This is due to two main reasons: - Beneficiaries are due to submit interim payment claims every two years. As a consequence, the "accepted contribution" by the end of 2017 corresponds to cost claims sent in 2017 for some actions and in 2016 for other actions. Moreover, the cost claims received in 2017 include costs incurred until 31/12/2016 and those received in 2016 include costs incurred until 31/12/ The bulk of the funding goes to works (or major studies). These actions usually start with a study and/or a tendering phase during which the costs incurred are relatively low. Therefore, the bulk of the costs are incurred in the last implementing years of these actions, as shown in figure 3. For these reasons, the level of effective accepted contribution reached by the end of 2017 can be considered as normal for the start-up phase of major works. Moreover, it has to be noted that effective payments are higher than effective accepted contribution due to the fact that advance payment (pre-financing) are made.

13 3. Evolution of the Action portfolio 3.1. Funding variations after the Grant Agreement signature The actual CEF Transport funding allocated to Actions can differ from the initially allocated funding depending on (1) Action closures and terminations and (2) certain types of amendments. Up until now, amendments have triggered a funding reduction for 3 Actions ( 8.4 million), while there have been no Action closures or terminations on the Scan Med corridor. Figure 6 : CEF Transport funding variations ( million) 2,296 (100%) 2,287.5 (100%) Initial Funding Actual Funding 3.2. Challenges affecting the implementation of Actions The technical complexity of preparing sound procurement procedures with the required technical specifications has been the main challenge faced by most CEF Actions on the Corridor, in the particular case of the Brenner Base Tunnel this led to deferring the end date of the concerned Actions by one additional year to Similarly, through the implementation of ITS Actions, challenges related to procurement processes have been encountered as road operators tend to limit investments, if they are not sure about the renewal of the concession. Planning permits have been a recurring challenge across most CEF Actions on the Corridor, further exacerbated within cross-border Actions. Namely, the Fehmarnbelt fixed link is so far only making limited progress in its implementation as the plan has not yet been approved by the German authorities. Likewise, the Actions installing charging stations for electric vehicles have encountered delays due to the necessity to obtain approvals to connect the stations to the local electricity network. Safety authorisations have been affecting the implementation of innovation Actions along the Corridor. In addition, some Actions establishing LNG and CNG stations have faced issues related to the safety and security requirements linked to their on-site installation. 4. Conclusion and Outlook The implementation of CEF Actions on the Scan-Med Corridor contributes to overcome some of the critical issues identified in the latest Work Plan of the European Coordinator such as historical missing links of the Corridor. Cross-border sections represent the major focus of the CEF Scan-Med portfolio, with more than 90% of the funding awarded. These Actions address capacity issues identified in the Work Plan and contribute to addressing persisting bottlenecks. The CEF portfolio also tackles critical issues faced by urban nodes with regard to capacity constraints, in particular 12

14 within the Northern part of the Corridor. These Actions also deal with wider elements such as environmental aspects as they are focusing on the modal shift from road to rail and further greening of the infrastructure. The CEF Scan-Med portfolio covers intelligent transport technologies, such as ITS for road services, which are being tested and deployed. In this regard, the road network of the Scan-Med Corridor has implemented the most advanced ITS services dedicated to trucks and freight transport. In parallel, more environmental-friendly technologies in the area of innovation are being implemented on a large scale across all modes of transport, especially road and maritime. The outlook for the Corridor as proposed in the latest Work Plan proposes further inclusion of alternative financial instruments. The 2017 Blending Call, which is leveraging the role of private financing, is aligned with this objective. The Scan-Med Corridor has benefited the most from this call compared to other CNCs. Additionally, extension of the Corridor further North towards the Arctic region, namely to the Gulf of Bothnia between Sweden and Finland, is put into consideration. The CEF portfolio has been active in this region. The CEF Transport portfolio on the Scan-Med Corridor reveals the prevalence of the Northern parts over the Southern ones in terms of number of Actions implemented as well as CEF funding awarded. While being visible across various transport modes this trend is the most apparent within the maritime portfolio. In summary CEF funded Actions have made a significant contribution to the implementation of the Scan-Med Corridor in line with the latest Work Plan and further progress is expected in the future. 13
