Setting Course for Tomorrow – Strengthening Danube Infrastructure for European Connectivity Danube Ministers of Transport reaffirm conclusions on effective waterway rehabilitation and maintenance The Danube river is a vital link
SYNERGETICS – Synergies for Green Transformation of Inland and Coastal Shipping
Transnational project (NL, SE, CH, FR, UK, DE, AT, HR) The aim of the project is the provision of a consistent catalogue of developed and ready to deploy retrofit solutions which would facilitate and accelerate the green transformation of inland vessels and coastal ships.
Danube Strategy Flagships – Fairway Rehabilitation and Maintenance Master Plan acknowledged
With introduction of the Danube Strategy Flagships, a new communication tool was created to support the key stakeholders to present and disseminate EUSDR strategic projects/processes in an easier and more
Galati Multimodal Platforms – Stage I – Upgrading of the waterside infrastructure
National Project (RO) The project will foster the use of inland waterway and maritime transport, by upgrading the basic port infrastructure and supporting transhipment operations in the port of Galati. This project is the first step of the "Multimodal Platform Galati".
Port Gate Albern
National project (AT) The project aims to build a modern flood protection gate at Vienna port. In future, operations in the port of Albern will remain undisturbed during flood events.
HyQ Danube – Feasibility Study for rehabilitation and extension of the hydrometric stations network on the Danube in Romania
National project (RO) The objective of the project was the identification of solutions and technical requirements necessary for the rehabilitation and expansion of the hydrometric stations network to ensure navigation conditions and improve traffic safety on the Romanian Danube sector. The real-time publication of hydrological data and the realisation of international hydrological data exchange were also part of the study.
Preparing FAIRway 2 works in the Rhine Danube Corridor
Transnational project (AT, HR, RS)
“FAIRway works!” clusters and implements the most mature waterway-related initiatives in the corridor at this point in time. It represents a major step in the implementation of the Corridor Work Plan and will trigger additional investments (e.g. mooring infrastructures in other Danube countries). “FAIRway works!” contributes to different objectives by reducing infrastructure quality gaps and improves efficiency (e.g. Iron Gate lock, improved fairway marking, high-quality mooring places), increasing sustainability (through fostering inland navigation as such, increasing its capacity and reducing travel times for marking trips, offering shore side electricity) and increasing the benefits for its users (quality and availability of mooring places, increased safety at locks, improved surveying information and improved fairway marking).FAIRway works! in the Rhine-Danube Corridor

Transnational project (NL, BE, FR, AT, HU) PLATINA 3 makes the bridge towards future research, innovation and implementation needs within IWT in Europe. The project provides targeted coordination and support activities to promote Inland Waterways Transport (IWT) in Europe. A key objective is providing the knowledge base for the implementation of the EU Green Deal in view of further development of the EC`s IWT action programme (NAIADES) towards 2030. PLATINA 3 sets up a coordinated, interactive discussion platform of key IWT policy makers, experts, researchers, river commissions as well as representatives from IWT industry, wider logistics (other modes), waterborne industries and other sectors to jointly identify means, measures and tools to promote IWT.
