5 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 Political support & harmonization Differences between Baltic Sea, Rhine & (e.g. port of Rotterdam) Danube Region Lack of awareness & training in logistics sector (e.g. REWWay) Infrastructure modernization of the fleet, locks and ports maintainance of the waterway Need for cooperation & data sharing River Information Services(RIS), digitalization e.g. DoRIS 5 Sustainability alternative fuel (e.g. LNG Masterplan) more efficient navigation (fuel-saving)

6 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. Mr. Bodewig Mr. Köhl Logistikum Draft Strategy Paper Master Thesis finalized June 2017 Industry Policy Makers Interviews Workshop EMMA Project Members Revised version Draft Strategy Paper Next steps: two workshops and finalization in spring

7 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
