interested parties whose common interest is to work together
to overcome these problems by a process of co-operation.
The Coastlink commercial imperative is to bring ports together
with shippers and shipping lines to maximise the
opportunities for the cooperation of all parties in the
development of short sea and feeder networks. This
builds on the environmental benefits of maritime transport
consistent with the political imperative to reduce road
miles and maximise sea transport.
