The North Sea-Mediterranean Corridor is one of the nine priority axes of the Trans-European Transport Networks.[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.
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, 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.[2]
Because of Brexit there is an increased focus on direct Ireland–France connections, while proviously the Ireland connection has been through the UK.[3]
