national project (HR) The project entailed the procurement and installation of proper RIS and Voice VHF systems, in order to implement River Information Services on the Sava River.

Transnational project (NL, DE, BE, LU, FR, CZ, AT, SK, HU, SL, HR, RS, RO) Main intention of the project is to realise so-called Corridor RIS Services for authorities and logistics users within inland navigation and to transfer those Corridor Services into sustainable operation.

Transnational project (GR, NL, NO, BE, DE, AT, SK, HR, RS, RO) RISING had the overall objective of identifying, integrating and further developing information services such as River Information Services (RIS) in order to efficiently support Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) and logistics operations.

National project (HR) Currently there is no connection between the Sava and the Danube rivers, except through the mouth of the Sava river near Belgrade, which considerably extends the navigation route from the Sava basin to Western Europe. Connecting the Danube and the Sava, the fairway would be shortened for more than 400 km upstream and about 90 km downstream.

National project (RO) The main goals pursued by the complex development of the Danube-Bucharest Canal system are: connecting the capital city of Romania with the Danube river through a waterway, defending localities and farming land against floods, producing power, establishing the necessary conditions for leisure and tourism, providing favourable ecological influences and other similar elements, supplying the necessary water for irrigation, providing drinking water for the neighbouring localities and for aqua-farming.

National project (HR) The main objective of the project is the integration and modernization of the waterway infrastructure of the Sava within the Trans-European Transport Network. As an international waterway, the Sava river does not meet the navigability criteria for the European inland waterways as provided in the AGN Agreement, since it should enable safe navigation for vessels of class IV for 300 days per year. The project is planned to be conducted in the section between Puska and Preloščica.

National project (RS) The purpose of this project is to execute river training structures and dredging works at six critical locations along the Serbian sector of the Danube between Backa Palanka and Belgrade (rkm 1287 to rkm 1195) in order to improve the navigation conditions during low water periods.

National project (AT) The project would have contributed to the policy instrument "Apply planning principles and guidelines of sustainable waterway planning: Joint Statement / PLATINA Good Practice Manual" mentioned in the road map for Priority Area 1a of the Danube Region Strategy. The planned exhibition onboard the ship MS Negrelli would have dealt with this subject and the trainings would have focused on the application of the PLATINA Manual on Good Practices in Sustainable Waterway Planning in waterway engineering projects.

Transnational project (CH, DE, AT, RS, RO) The main objective of NEWS was to increase transport flows on inland waterways (especially container transport on the Danube) by developing a next generation European inland vessel and logistics system to make inland waterway transport more economical, more ecological, safer and time efficient: The NEWS Mark II vessel.

National project (BG) Within the project a new control GPS geodetic network was established along the Bulgarian Danube which serves as a base for carrying out geodetic and hydrographic activities with modern GPS technologies for studying the changes in the riverbed. Beside this, 9 automatic hydrometric stations and 9 meteorological stations were installed along the Bulgarian section of the river.
