Welcome to the StratMoS website!

The core aim and idea of the StratMoS project is to promote and facilitate shift of cargo from road to seabased intermodal transport, and improve accessibility within the North Sea Region by supporting the implementation of Motorway of the Sea (MoS) and related transport networks in an integrated logistical chain.

The StratMoS project is funded by EU and the Norwegian government through the Interreg IV B North Sea Region Programme. The project comprises for the time being 27 partners, covering the North Sea Region from Flanders in the south to Finnamrk in Northern Norway in the north. The Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and Nenets regions in Russia are associated partners.

The StratMoS project was approved in December 2007, and the first formal International Management Group meeting was held in
April 2008. It will end on 30 September 2011.

The StratMoS project is keen to have contact with other similar projects, so please do not hesitate to contact us!
