The North Sea–Mediterranean Corridor is the number 8 of the ten priority axes of the Trans-European Transport Network.[1] It stretches from Ireland and the north of UK through the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg to the Mediterranean Sea in the south of France.[2]

History

According to the European Union:

This multimodal corridor, comprising inland waterways in Benelux and France, aims not only at offering better multimodal services between the North Sea ports, the Maas (French: [[Meuse]]), Rhine, Scheldt, Seine, Saone and Rhone river basins and the ports of Fos-sur-Mer and Marseille, but also at better interconnecting the British Isles with continental Europe.[3]
