  1. Medium and long term perspectives of Inland Waterway Transport in the European Union Zagreb, 13.11.2013

  3. Objectives of the study • Investigate and analyse the current situation • Identify strengths and weaknesses of the sector, • Investigate prospects and potential of inland waterway transport • Recommendations for policy measures at EU level • Suggestions for the development of a medium and long term European strategy in support of inland waterway transport

  4. II. Main developments on medium and long term

  5. Forecast for transport performance IWTBaseline EU27, billion tonkilometres

  6. Main deviations from desired developments • Despite of a growing transport performance the modal share of IWT is under pressure • IWT is losing the advantage on external costs, in particular to due to a strong reduction of air pollutant emissions in road haulage towards 2020 • General conditions should be improved with respect to: • Markets & Awareness • Fleet • Employment & Education • Infrastructure • River Information Services

  7. III. Identified problems for each policy field

  8. River Information Services A. Unfinished technical regulations B. Unfinished implementation and co-ordination of RIS in Europe C. Unused potential to use RIS for optimising logistics

  9. IV. Recommended policy packages

  10. Policy package 1: Raise modal share • Most effective policy measures to raise (multi-)modal share of IWT

  11. Policy package 2: Reduce external cost of IWT • Most effective policy measures to reduce external costs

  12. Policy package 3: Improve market conditions • Most effective policy measures to improve market conditions for operators and users of IWT

  13. Policy package 3: Improve market conditions • Most effective policy measures to improve market conditions for operators and users of IWT

  14. Individual Policy Measures for River Information Services Policy measures in addition to co-financing national RIS deployment
