A European Strategy Paper for Inland Waterway Transport 1

Challenges of Freight Transport in Europe… Modal Split Europe Challenges for the future (2015) • increasing freight volume road  CO2 emissions 6.4% • bottlenecks in infrastructure rail 18.3% • limited road capacity inland 75.3% • public and political pressure navigation Need to increase the use of eco- Transport accounts for 20.3 % friendly transport of worldwide CO2 emissions! modes Sources: Eurostat 2017, European Commission,2011; ITF, 2010 2 2

Inland Waterways & Important Economic Areas 4 4

Inland Waterways & the European Transport Strategy The European Commission aims to promote and strengthen the competitive position of inland waterways in the transport system, and to facilitate its integration into the intermodal logistics chain Differences between Political support & harmonization Baltic Sea, Rhine & • (e.g. port of Rotterdam) Danube Region Infrastructure Lack of awareness & training in logistics sector • modernization of the fleet, locks and ports • (e.g. REWWay) • maintainance of the waterway Sustainability Need for cooperation & data sharing • alternative fuel (e.g. LNG Masterplan) • River Information Services(RIS), digitalization • more efficient navigation (fuel-saving) • e.g. DoRIS 5

Strategy Paper for Inland Waterway Transport - initiated by Mr. Bodewig & BSF The aim of the strategy paper for inland waterway transport is to strenghten this mode of transport in the European Union by - Involving relevant stakeholders and experts form the sector - Identifying gaps and measures to provide input for the national and European Transport policy.

Ongoing Projects for Inland Waterway Transport EMMA Project (funded by Interreg) - 21 Partners in the Baltic Sea Region (DE, FI, LT, PL and SE) - aims at tackling the challenges and opportunities focusing on inland- and river-sea shipping. • increasing the modal share • fostering a better integration in the BSR transport chains • the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Prominent Project (H2020) Daphne Project, Danube Skills Project, Dante Project, Green Danube Project (Interreg Projects) 7
