FACTS & FIGURES INLAND NAVIGATION IN EUROPE
WATERWAYS IN EUROPE
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
CONNECTING EUROPE
Congestion-free links between Europe’s ports and industrial centres Major economic centres will be conncected by three new links:
Adriatic-Milan (completion 2020)
Rhine-Mediterranean (completion 2025)
Antwerp-Paris (completion 2018)
Realising the waterways’ potential with the EU Naiades Action Plan Streamlining waterway transport Removing barriers
SEAMLESS EUROPEAN WATERWAY NETWORK
SAVING ENERGY & CARBON
Saving energy & carbon CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by
inland ships are just one third of those for road bound trucks.
0.25 MJ/TONNE-KM 30 CO2 PER TONNE-KM
0.8 MJ/TONNE-KM 150 CO2 PER TONNE-KM
HISTORIC ADVANTAGE
Plenty of waterborne trade opportunities Most people in EU live near coast or in main
river valleys.
NO TRAFFIC JAMS
Slower but reliable
Rotterdam Duisburg 24 hours Paris Le Havre 40 hours Basel Antwerp 48 hours Lyon Marseille 24 hours
RIVER INFORMATION SERVICES
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
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
DIRECT JOBS
40,000 JOBS
A growing jobs market Inland shipping creates 40,000 jobs onboard
“and more to come” Job opportunities on board and ashore
WATERWAY GEOGRAPHY
Strong in navigable regions Low transport share in EU27 BUT, up to 40% in hinterland of major
seaports
TRANSPORTED GOODS
All types of cargo Ca. XXX tonnes per year After bulk consumer goods go increasingly
by water Container market will double by 2020

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

FACTS & FIGURES NAVIGATION ON THE DANUBE
THE DANUBE BASIN
Fast Facts Second largest river in Europe (after the
Volga), flowing at more than 2,800 kms from Bavaria’s Black Forest in Southern Germany to its delta on the Black Sea in Romania
Directly linked to the Rhine and North Western Europe by the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, opened in 1992
Drains an area of 800,000 kms2, 10% of the
entire European continent, covering all or part of 18 countries
Serves a region of 80 million people Spanned by 126 bridges Regulated by 18 locks
DANUBE NAVIGATION
Fast Facts Navigable length: 2,411 kms 3,916 working ships in 2009 Danube carried 49 million tonnes of
goods in 2007 Part of the Rhine-Main-Danube
Waterway, connecting 14 European countries from the Black Sea to the North Sea, a distance of 3,216 kms
IT ON THE DANUBE
RIS (River Information Services): Satellite tracking + IT = Efficient management
A real time picture of shipping positions, providing maximum efficiency in vessel movements and manoeuvring control
Instant ship to shore communication and data transfer
Automated border crossing procedures Automatic data collection Better safety management and control of
dangerous cargos
