One keystone in the evolution of sustainable transport solutions is the considering of the green transport corridor concept with its transnational and multimodal character and the involvement of the heterogeneous group of stakeholders that require multi-level approaches in the phases of implementation, management and governance. The authors were involved in the creation of a hub development strategy of Paldiski Port in Western Estonia aiming to link the port via a new railway bypass to Muuga Port around Tallinn representing the end of the "Rail Baltica" Green Transport Corridor. The purpose of the hub development of Paldiski Port was twofold. First target was the preparation of an enlargement of the logistics service portfolio in order to improve the competitiveness of Paldiski towards Finnish ports. Second aim was the integration of Paldiski Port as a future hub in the "Rail Baltica" Green Transport Growth Corridor.
