The seminar will also provide you with an insight into the methods how the intermodal transport and port infrastructure projects should be structured to make those projects bankable and able to attain financial closure.
Additionally, issues arising from the transposition of EU regulations into Polish law and their impact on further development opportunities of river transport in Poland will be discussed.
