The official inauguration of the project took place on Fehmarn in December, attended by key figures such as Berthold Huber (DB Management Board Member for Infrastructure), Daniel Günther (Premier of Schleswig-Holstein), and Susanne Henckel (State Secretary to the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport). Positioned at the core of the new European freight corridor between Oslo and Palermo, the Belt link will accommodate 68 daily freight trains, complemented by an additional 30 trains moving from the port of Travemünde to Italy. This initiative underscores Deutsche Bahn’s pivotal role in advancing climate-friendly rail transportation and contributing to Germany’s climate policy objectives. The project kicks off with the upgrade and electrification of the 11.4-kilometer line between Puttgarden and the Fehmarn Sound Bridge, marking the commencement of the ten construction sections, with simultaneous work on all sections scheduled to begin in 2026. Out of the project’s 88 kilometers of rail lines, 55 kilometers are slated for new construction.

In the year 2023, Port of Tallinn witnessed a significant rebound in passenger traffic, with 8 million passengers, marking a 13% increase or 900,000 more passengers compared to the previous year. This recovery follows the easing of pandemic-related movement restrictions. However, the cargo sector experienced a notable decline, with a 29% reduction in volume, equivalent to 5 million tonnes, attributed to sanctions on Russian and Belarussian cargo and a general economic downturn. Despite these challenges, the number of vessel calls remained relatively stable, with a marginal decrease of only 1.5% to a total of 7,026 visits. Additionally, the connection between the Estonian mainland and main islands saw a 5% rise in passenger numbers, setting a new all-time record. Meanwhile, the icebreaker Botnica reported a 4% decrease in charter days, reflecting a shorter period for summer charters.
