About Marco Polo
Marco Polo is the EU funding programme for freight transporters, shippers and logistic operators that
are committed to the sustainable transport of goods across Europe. Marco Polo pursues the reduction
of congestion on Europe's roads by shifting freight off the road to more environmentally friendly modes
of transport, such as short-sea shipping, rail and inland waterways.
