New Nordic Cooperation on Transport Preparedness

Published 17-01-2025

The Nordic countries are strengthening their transport preparedness with a new cooperation agreement signed yesterday, January 16, 2025.

The agreement, Nordic Transport Preparedness Cooperation (NTPC), aims to ensure that land, sea, and air transport can better manage crisis situations such as natural disasters, major accidents, and other societal crises.

The collaboration involves sharing resources, knowledge, and experiences, as well as developing joint models and practices for transport systems. This will enhance infrastructure and ensure that transport services remain available even under critical conditions.

The agreement marks an important step in cooperation between the transport authorities of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland to create more robust transport systems and improve crisis management. The Danish Maritime Authority and the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority signed the agreement on behalf of Denmark, with the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority serving as the national coordinator.
