Improving water-based public transport by ferry is a key issue in the North Sea Region (NSR) to safeguard sustainable accessibility of regions which would otherwise be inaccessible or suffering from their remote location.

The iTransfer partners pursue an implementation-oriented approach to improve water-based accessibility by fostering development of Technology (ferries & landings), Operation (integration with public transport & set-up of ferry connections) and addressing Policy issues (tendering of ferry services & barrier-free access for disabled people) on the national and EU level.
