In response to the calls demand for cost effective modernization of the inland fleet for freight transport, MoVe IT! develops a suite of options for the modernisation of inland ships that meet the challenges of over-aging of the fleet, climate change and stronger environmental objectives and provides decision support regarding the application of these options.The aim of the project is the modernisation of existing inland ships applying state-of-the-art knowledge from new-buildings and technology transfer from other transport modes. The project activities consist of:• Determination of the framework conditions and the requirements for the retrofitting of existing inland ships, whereby retrofit options related to new operational requirements as well as adaptation to new markets are considered.• Development of cost-effective concepts of retrofitting for inland ships, which carry dangerous goods in agreement with the regulations of the ADN.• Development of cost-effective solutions for improving the energy efficiency and reduction of exhaust gas emissions and noise by improvements of ships' hydrodynamics, propulsion and engine technology, application of new technologies based on usage of alternative fuels (e.g. LNG), innovative systems for energy recovery and improved management of energy consumption.• Economical and ecological evaluation of the concepts developed.• Demonstration of the viability of selected concepts.• Dissemination of project results and stimulation of the implementation of the concepts developed.
