  1. INLAND NAVIGATION IN EUROPE FACTS &FIGURES

  2. EU Waterways • 40,000 km • ½ accessible to ≥ 1,000 tonne vessels • 18 out of 27 EU Member States have navigable waterways • EU Roads • 4,800,000 km • EU Railways • 200,000 km • Waterways elsewhere • USA 42,000 km • Russia 85,000 km • China 121,000 km WATERWAYS IN EUROPE

  3. Waterway geography • Strong in navigable regions • Low transport share in EU27 • BUT, up to 40% in hinterland of major seaports

  4. Transported goods • All types of cargo • Ca. 500 million tonnes per year • After bulk, consumer goods go increasingly by water • Container market will double by 2020

  5. A vessel for every load • From containers to liquids to bulk goods, there is a ship to carry it • An average ship can take 200 truck loads • The inland shipping fleet in EU counts around 12,850 vessels

  6. NATURALLY MULTIMODAL

  7. No traffic jams • Slower but reliable • Rotterdam  Duisburg 24 hours • Paris  Le Havre 36 hours • Basel  Antwerp 48 hours • Lyon  Marseille 48 hours

  8. Historic advantage • Plenty of waterborne trade opportunities • Most people in EU live near coast or in main river valleys.

  9. Saving energy & carbon 0.25 MJ/tonne-km 30 co2 per tonne-km • Saving energy & carbon • CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by inland ships are just one third of those for road bound trucks. 0.8 MJ/tonne-km 150 co2 per tonne-km

  10. river informationservices • Oldest means of transport using newest technology • Modern traffic management systems • Swift electronic data transfer between water and shore • In-advance and real-time exchange of information

  11. Direct jobs • A growing jobs market • Inland shipping creates 40,000 jobs onboard “and more to come” • Job opportunities on board and ashore 40,000 jobs

  12. Prominent users

  13. SEAMLESS EUROPEAN WATERWAY NETWORK • Realising the waterways’ potentialwith the EU Naiades Action Plan • Streamlining waterway transport • Removing barriers

  14. Connecting Europe Congestion-free links betweenEurope’s ports and industrial centres Major economic centres willbeconncected by three new links: • Antwerp-Paris • (completion 2018) Rhine-Mediterranean (completion 2025) Adriatic-Milan (completion 2020)

  15. good return • on investment • external and infrastructure costs in €/1,000tkm • Source: CE Delft

  16. 2020 inland shipping RIS or River Information Services: an intelligent transport system that connects ship to shore • Rivers: Arteries for development • Information technology • Fleet diversity • Versatile and innovative • Clean fuel • Good working conditions • Vessel design  Water authority Warehouse 1 6 5 4 5 4 3 6 2

  17. 2020 supply chain • Future supply chain • Long haul shipping is done via inland waterways and rail with clean vehicles doing the last mile • New logistics solutions share information, transport and warehousing to cut costs and emissions Shared information seaport factory seaport Freight train City port Freight tram Water truck shop

  18. Towards a 2020 landscape • Rivers: Arteries for development • Transport and logistics • Wildlife and biodiversity • Energy production • Water supply and management • Leisure and tourism  1 2 5 3 1 4 4 2 5 3 1 5
