Detailed description of project
The project aimed to revive Syria’s potential as a major gateway to Middle Eastern markets along multi-modal corridors. Specific Objectives included:
(i) Improvement proposals for transport chains linking the Ports of Tartous and Lattakia with the main hinterland transport corridors.
(ii) Pre-feasibility studies for the two most promising transit chain infrastructure projects selected from a list of proposed strategic options.
The main tasks were the modelling of major axes, the economic feasibility study, and road maintenance development strategies.
The core objective of establishing Syria as a focal multimodal transport point for the region, effectively connecting the Middle East with the Mediterranean Sea routes, guided the study that addressed all aspects of implementation, and concluded with phase 2 action plans and a report on Capacity Building.
The project was carried out by the consortium BMT, NESTEAR and TREDIT.
