Major challenges for international freight transport during the pandemic
Reduced capacity, major delays and cost increases for international freight transport, but little change in transport volumes related to Norwegian foreign trade.
This is the main findings in one of two new TØI reports which examines how the Corona pandemic affected freight transport in Norway...

Noise from shipping spreads widely
As part of the research project SHIPNOISE, the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) performs measurements and calculations to assess the possible impact of ship noise on human health.
This type of research is common for road, rail and aviation; for example, we know that...

Full speed ahead for maritime research
A couple of years ago, VTI decided to increase its maritime research, and today about ten people at the institute work with related research in areas such as transport economics, logistics, the environment, and behavioural science.
For many years, VTI’s maritime research was quite modest and...
