River Information Services EU RIS Framework Directive 2005/44/EC Cross-border communication Position information Transport information EUROPE The introduction of River Information Services was a major development in Inland Waterway Transport. Based on the EU RIS Framework Directive 2005/44/EC of the European Union on harmonized river information services (RIS) on inland waterways, cross-border communication exchanging position and transport information using Automatic Identification System and the system for Electronic Reporting of voyages, cargo and persons on board has been established by providing a data exchange platform per country. An all-in-one solution, facilitating basic functionality for the national and international RIS data exchange.

Cutting edge technology Back To The Future Cutting edge technology Late 1980s: View of the Future by AT&T Inc. and Back to the Future October 26, 1985: Marty McFly travels back to the future Prediction accuracy Like already mentioned before, we are currently using electronic reporting but that wasn’t always the case. AT&T Inc. (American Telephone and Telegraph Company) was promising that in the future you could send a fax from the beach. In the movie Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly travels into the future or to be more exact, 21st of October, 2015. His homes is filled with several fax machines. There’s at least one in the kitchen, two in the living room and one in the bathroom. Fax machines seemed like cutting edge technology in the future.

FAX Until July 2015: Legally compliant FAX form E-mail soon made faxing obsolete. Nowadays, you’ll still find fax machines in many offices, but they’re rarely used. On 1st of July, 2015 – before Marty McFly travels back into the future – viadonau decided to replace the legally compliant FAX form by the possibility to publish electronic reports by electrornic means. To sum it all up, they all really got it wrong with the prediction that FAX is the new cutting edge technology, email soon made faxing obsolete.  

Electronic Reporting Operation Waterway Traffic Regulation §8.02, Abs. 1 01.07.2015 – 31.08.2017 On behalf of the Supreme Navigation Authority (OSB) of BMVIT, viadonau operates a portal to manage transport reports by electronic means within the scope of its duties for the operation of River Information Services and therefore offers an attractive opportunity to current practice of reporting by means of fax or email.

Advanced River Information Services A possible ICT concept of Advanced River Information Services that takes into account the ETA and RTA notification process. In order to setup an efficient lock and bridge planning in addition to efficient cargo handling in the port or terminal, the waterway authority and port/terminal operator needs information about the voyages which will be carried out. Either the Skipper or the Vessel Operator will send an electronic announcement of the expected voyage. When the voyage actually starts the earlier pre-announced voyage will be reconfirmed or an updated announcement of the voyage will be sent. An ETA will be provided to the waterway authorities and port/terminal operator involved in the voyage. The Skipper/Vessel Operator receives a RTA, a time slot which is reserved for him, on the hand for a lock or for a port/terminal, e.g. destination and discharge place. The Skipper/Vessel Operator agrees with the schedule and the proposed ETA. Corrections to the RTA may be appropriate. If this is the case, the Skipper/Vessel Operator may decide to slow down (and to save fuel) knowing he has a granted reservation for a given lock or terminal/port handling process. In fact, this Advanced River Information Services allows the waterway authorities and Port/Terminal Operator to optimize lock operations and more efficient cargo handling within the port/terminal.

Electronic Reporting Messages CONCLUSION Advanced RIS ERIVOY Purpose: Provide voyage plan information to logistics and authorities (pre-voyage information) Content: Electronic reporting of voyage plan Receiver: Waterway authorities, commercial parties Benefit: Enable Advanced River Information Services ERINOT Purpose: Fulfill voyage and cargo reporting requirements (on-voyage information) Content: Electronic reporting of voyage and cargo details Benefit: Reduce administrative burdens One ERIVOY message can be connected to several ERINOT messages ERIVOY: e.g. a planned voyage from A to D ERINOT: voyage and cargo report from A to B, from B to C, from C to D Page 14
