Modernization of railway infrastructure in the ports of Szczecin and Świnoujście and its impact on technical and technological accessibility

The port complex in Szczecin and Świnoujście handles all types of hinterland transport. In the port of Szczecin, as much as 56% of tracks required repairs (as of 2008), while in Świnoujście the figure was 30%. Therefore, one of the main projects until 2013 is the modernization and expansion of railway infrastructure. The goal of modernizing railway lines in both ports is to ensure a safe communication system adapted to the increasing traffic intensity and to maintain or increase cargo handling via this mode of transport. The modernization and expansion of railway lines will positively influence the better technical and technological accessibility of the Port Complex and will increase the transport of cargo by ecological means, which is certainly rail transport, as promoted by the European Union.
