The corridor, formally established under the EU Regulation 2024/1679, came into force on 18 July 2024 as part of the renewed TEN-T framework. It connects northern, eastern, and southern Europe — from the Baltic Sea to the Black and Aegean Seas — strengthening links between ports, rail, and multimodal infrastructure across the continent.

The TEN-T policy aims to create a multimodal transport network integrating rail, road, inland waterways, and short-sea shipping, linking major urban nodes, seaports, inland ports, airports, and terminals within the EU and beyond.

— We see this corridor not only as an element that strengthens economic ties and prosperity within the EU. In the face of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, we need a high level of interoperability on the eastern flank of the EU and NATO, along with dual-use investments in transport infrastructure. Poland is steadily modernizing its transport system, moving toward the new TEN-T parameters on schedule — said Deputy Minister Piotr Malepszak.

Malepszak underlined that the corridor’s development is fully aligned with Poland’s transport priorities — the growth of seaports, revitalization of the railway network, and the Central Communication Port (CPK) project, which will serve as a major hub for both Poland and Europe, enhancing connectivity across the TEN-T network.

The Baltic–Black–Aegean Sea Corridor is becoming not only a key economic axis, but also a strategic component of Europe’s transport security — a new infrastructure backbone of the continent’s eastern flank.
