Welcome to LO-PINOD

Building an efficient, balanced and sustainable transport network.

LO-PINOD challenges existing thinking on freight distribution and offers a more sustainable and efficient alternative. Through improvements to shortsea routes, local ports and their hinterland connections, LO-PINOD encourages a wider use of water-borne transport across the North Sea Region. Greater use of local ports will re-balance Europe's transport network, reduce road congestion, aid regional development and deliver more freight by sustainable sea transport.
