1. Oversize Strategy for creation of new oversized transport links in SBR
Component 3
Oversize Strategy for creation of new oversized transport links in SBR

2. Why? – Problems addressed
“Soft” issues
Complicated requirements to receive permits
Inhomogeneous legislation for oversize permits in SB area
“Hard” issues
Lack of adequate infrastructure
Unclear picture of required infrastructure

3. HOW? – methodology Preparation & Analytical phase
Research and analysis
collecting primary data, expert surveys and surveys
Coding, mapping and analysis of the gained results
Strategy development
Creation a theoretical basis for collaborative environment
Transfer & implementation phase, e.g. “one-stop shop”

4. Focus Oversize legislation
Infrastructure and technological development
Status quo
Required
Oversize directions, possible routes
Regional
Inter-regional, cross-border issues
Economical perspective

5. Expected outputs General Oversize Strategy for South Baltic Sea area
comprising:
Overall legislative framework for oversize cargo
Marking the roads / poss. directions of oversize transportation along the SB coast  i.e. Oversize map for SB
Evaluation on economical impact
Up to 3 per region oversize transportation routes identified
Up to 5 bottlenecks for cross-boarder oversize transportation relevance specified
Recommendations for oversize transportation-legislation improvements
Investment technological proposal developed for oversize transportation improvement

6. Research and planning Institutions;
Target Groups
Policy makers , government institutions, public administrations responsible for road/maritime transport, infrastructure and development;
Research and planning Institutions;
Business organizations related to oversize transportation.

9. Activities
As to reach the project’s objective several activities, classified in 5 components , have to be implemented, such us:
1. Framework of information collection and evaluation for oversize strategy development;2. Regional oversize strategies of OT development; 3.Marking the roads/directions of oversize transportation along the SB coast. Oversize map;4. Study for the oversize legislation evaluation and improvement; 5. Infrastructural and technological development study for the safe and effective transportation on marked roads; 6. Strategy of economical impact;7. Technical and Informational conditions for OTIN development;8. Setting the web based tool for sharing and developing oversize transportation information development;9. Handbook for oversize transportation technical, legislative and geographical information necessary for permit issue and effective and safe transportation development and publishing;10. OTIN implementation: web network of OT regulation institutions; lobbing sessions;11. Oversize strategy implementation in to the business community;12. Establishing the infrastructural and technological connections for the strategy execution;13. Business training on safety and technology implementation issues and international marketing attracting the cargo flow; 14. Study visits sharing the good practice-cooperation instead competition.
