• 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 />
