Upgrading of Inland Waterway and Sea Ports (INWAPO)

Start date: Sep 30, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The central Europe area disposes of extensive inland waterways which in all cases underperform in terms of utilisation of their capacities for freight transport and the transport performance of these waterways is usually very low. Major reason for the unsatisfactory role inland navigation plays in coping with the ever growing freight volumes in central Europe is the lack of functional integration ...
