FACTS & FIGURES INLAND NAVIGATION IN EUROPE
2
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
3
WATERWAY GEOGRAPHY Strong in navigable regions Low transport share in EU27 BUT, up to 40% in hinterland of major seaports
4
TRANSPORTED GOODS All types of cargo Ca. 500 million tonnes per year After bulk, consumer goods go increasingly by water Container market will double by 2020
5
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
6
NATURALLY MULTIMODAL
7
NO TRAFFIC JAMS Slower but reliable Rotterdam Duisburg24 hours Paris Le Havre36 hours Basel Antwerp48 hours Lyon Marseille48 hours
8
HISTORIC ADVANTAGE Plenty of waterborne trade opportunities Most people in EU live near coast or in main river valleys.
9
SAVING ENERGY & CARBON Saving energy & carbon CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption by inland ships are just one third of those for road bound trucks. 0.25 MJ/TONNE-KM 30 CO 2 PER TONNE-KM 0.8 MJ/TONNE-KM 150 CO 2 PER TONNE-KM
10
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 RIVER INFORMATION SERVICES
11
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
12
PROMINENT USERS
13
Realising the waterways’ potential with the EU Naiades Action Plan Streamlining waterway transport Removing barriers SEAMLESS EUROPEAN WATERWAY NETWORK
14
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)

2020 INLAND SHIPPING Rivers: Arteries for development 1. Information technology 2. Fleet diversity 3. Versatile and innovative 4. Clean fuel 5. Good working conditions 6. Vessel design 3 3 4 4 5 5 2 2 1 1 6 6 4 4 5 5 6 6 RIS or River Information Services: an intelligent transport system that connects ship to shore WAREHOUSE WATER AUTHORITY
17
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 SHARED INFORMATION SEAPORT FACTORY CITY PORT FREIGHT TRAM SHOP WATER TRUCK FREIGHT TRAIN SEAPORT
18
TOWARDS A 2020 LANDSCAPE Rivers: Arteries for development 1. Transport and logistics 2. Wildlife and biodiversity 3. Energy production 4. Water supply and management 5. Leisure and tourism 1 1 1 1 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 5 3 3 2 2 4 4 5 5 2 2 1 1
