INTERFACE PLUS is an upgrade to the South Baltic project INTERFACE. Together, they constitute the INTERFACE initiative.
The overall objective of the INTERFACE initiative is to revitalize passenger traffic on ferries to a comfortable, cheap & environmental friendly alternative for cross-border travelling within the South Baltic area. Background is the diminishing share of “foot passengers” without car among the ferry passengers and drop down in their absolute number in the last two decades.
The INTERFACE PLUS project focus on the crossborder transport axes Karlskrona – Gdynia, Gdynia – Kaliningrad, Trelleborg – Rostock and Gedser – Rostock. Activities include harmonising timetables of the ferries and public transport, inventing cross-border combination tickets for foot passengers or improving terminal services.
