This transport project will study the feasibility of linking North Atlantic ports into rail lines connecting Narvik, Norway with South-East Asia. Shipping containers are already transported between Helsinki and South-East Asia by electrified rail, and the project will seek to identify whether the network can be extended to Tórshavn and Reykjavík via Narvik. Since their introduction, shipping containers have revolutionised global trade, and their importance increases with economic growth. The goal of the project is for North Atlantic ports to take full advantage of trends in container transport.
