For the first time the meeting was organised as an online event. Combined Transport actors from terminal managers and railways through Combined Transport Operators to intermodal logistic service providers from all around the region participated in the event. A positive dynamic has been accounted for from the region. The participants expressed strong hope for Sweden to begin implementing the plan devised by the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), which foresees significant improvements to the most important railway line in the southern regions of the country. Substantial terminal- and port-related improvements were reported that will support the continued development of the intermodal business.
