Orient – East Mediteranean corridor of the core TEN-T network Defined by Directive of European Parliament and Council (EU) No 1316/2013 from 11/12/2013 Strategic corridor bottlenecks: - Unstabile draughts on Elbe, as cross- border issue CZ/BRD Other bottlenecks: - Connection to Pardubice and Hradec Králové aglomeration and improvement of waterway to Prague - Low navigation draughts and clearances under bruidges on Vltava to Prague - Unsatisfactory performance of lock chambers - Unfinished implementation of RIS and cross border data exchange with BRD On thewater– ecologically,cheapand troublefree

Waterway network of the Czech Republic – major bottlenecks Improvement of navigation conditions on free flowing Labe - Labe – stable navigation conditions Plavební stupeň Děčín (cascade 21 locks) Vltava Class IV – the stable navigation european standard of conditions vessel parameters (cascade 10 locks) Missing connection to Freight volumes on Pardubice aglomeration CZ waterways are very low (< 1 mil.t.) Major limitation – unstable draughts on free flowing Labe long periods without navigation, On thewater– ecologically,cheapand troublefree unstable service for shippers – shift to road transport

Extension of navigability on Vltava waterway (original CEF project) Current parameters: Extension to parameters: • class IV , • draughts up to 2.20 m (same as on Elbe) • for vessels or tows no wider than 10.5 m and no • clearance under bridges longer than 130 m up to 7.0 m up to Praha- Holešovice and then 5.25 • draughts limited to 1.80 m up to Praha-Radotín m • navigation safety and • clearance under bridges reliable operability up to 4.50 m ensuring the TEN- T waterway parameters from Mělník (confluence with the Elbe) to the port at Praha-Radotín (the last port really used by freight transport) elimination of bottlenecks limiting the use of the waterway.
