National project (DE) The Danube river section from Straubing to Vilshofen is a major bottleneck in the Trans-European Network. The task of this already concluded study was to examine the two remaining variants and to prepare technical and ecological planning for both variants. The aim was to bring about the final decision concerning the development of the Danube between Straubing and Vilshofen.
National project (DE) The Danube river section from Straubing to Vilshofen is a major bottleneck in the Trans-European Network. After conducting a variant study in 2013, policy-makers decided to pursue variant A. This follow-up study laid out the necessary preconditions to obtain the construction permissions and budget approvals for the upgrading of subsection 1 Straubing-Deggendorf.
National project (HR) The Sava river is navigable on 594 km of its river course and links the economies of the four Sava riparian states (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia). This project will result in the improvement of the physical capacity of the Sava waterway and it will contribute to the improvement of mobility and multimodality in the Danube and Sava region.
Transnational project (NL, DK, RS) Critical sections on the Danube River in Serbia are identified in the Master Plan for IWW Transport in Serbia (2006). River training works are needed in order to achieve fairway parameters which would improve navigation conditions in terms of safety. Necessary designs and tender documentation for river training works on six critical sections on the Danube River in Serbia were elaborated.
National project (RO) The project foresees further bank protection works on the Sulina Channel (on a length of 36.7 km), in addition to the works already concluded (lenght of 15km).
National project (RO) As a consequence of critical points on the Călăraşi – Brăila section of the Danube, vessels must take a bypass route via the Bala–Borcea branch, which extends the navigation distance to around 110 km, for periods of around 140 – 160 days/ year. The project therefore includes river engineering works which will ensure navigation levels on the Old Danube and have a reduced impact on the environment, having effects only during low water seasons.
National project (RO) The main goal of the waiting berth for convoys is to facilitate the convoys’ assembling/dismantling operations, including the assurance of cargo safety as well as the simple vessel’s mooring, and to lower the unit waterway transport cost. The waiting berth is located on the left bank of the Danube–Black Sea Canal, upstream from the junction with the Poarta Albă–Midia Năvodari Canal. It is 300 m long and has three piers and a quay depth of 5.5 m.
National project (HR) The Danube river near the village of Sotin at river-km 1,322 causes erosion of the extremely dilapidated right bank which might result in the undermining and subsequent collapse of the bank. A direct effect of lateral erosion of the river is the decrease of water depths, especially at low-water periods, thus negatively affecting inland waterway transport. The project foresees river engineering measures on this sector (sill and two T-groynes).
National project (HR) The new winter shelter for vessels would be situated in Opatovac and be equipped with all necessary infrastructures. The construction of the winter shelter includes the creation of bank structures, the construction of an additional building and the organization of local waters.
National project (RO) Banks consolidation works along the Poarta Alba-Midia Navodari Canal are being executed in order to ensure the safety of transport on the canal.
