The Three Seas Initiative (I3M). The connection strategy between the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, on rivers and inland canals

Considering the ”Three Seas Initiative”, four countries from Eastern Europe, Romania, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Poland, can be united with the help of complex arrangements of some rivers and by the construction of navigable canals between them, for the transport of goods and passengers. In this paper I presented and analyzed the possibility of creating a connection by water, through the complex development of some rivers and the construction of navigable canals from the Danube to the Baltic Sea. We studied, analyzed and proposed the areas and places through which the canals can be built, the segments where the rivers must be developed, the ports and connection points for multimodal transport and integrated logistics. I had considered a sustainable development strategy, but which would follow the economic interests of the four countries and as a joint effort to help Ukraine in the process of economic reconstruction, as well as environmental protection.
