• mantua – nuremberg (alot)<br />

The link between Mantua and Nuremberg<br />

connects two tri-modal terminals, which can<br />

act both as hub <strong>for</strong> new services (<strong>for</strong> example<br />

towards Southern Italy or Port of Venice and<br />

Northern Germany) and as a centre <strong>for</strong> the distribution<br />

in two important final markets (Eastern<br />

Lombardy/Emilia Romagna and Bavaria).<br />

Mantua area has an important role <strong>for</strong> “conventional”<br />

<strong>freight</strong>, while Nuremberg is connected<br />

to international waterways via its port on the<br />

Main-Danube Canal. The <strong>freight</strong> <strong>traffic</strong> centre<br />

in the port of Nuremberg is one of the most important<br />

transfer centres in Southern Germany.<br />
