SSS Services provide operative advantages and business opportunities to logistics operators, and enable improvements in many areas in which the EU wishes to progress. One such important area is the development and advancement of sustainable transport, a more environmentally friendly method of transport, which reduces fuel consumption and increases energy efficiency. Another vital area is creating a more balanced modal distribution system in commercial exchanges.

Operative advantages and business opportunities through new logistics approaches based on cooperation among operators, and its implementation on a European scale, means that everyone should be familiar with it. To this end, extensive training is required. This pioneering European project, based on courses provided on board of ships at sea and trains and organised by the ports and railway companies at both ends of the services, is a unique opportunity to get to know a long-range logistics resource first-hand. The combination of teachers who work in the sector and direct participation in the operations makes for a very rich and practical approach.

The logistics business is based on relationships, and works through cooperation and coordination between operators and functions. Innovative approaches and the development of logistics require the generation of open environments involving human interaction.
