BASIC  PROJECT  DATA

Project ID: PA1A155

 

NEED  AND  ADDED  VALUE  FOR  THE  DANUBE  REGION  STRATEGY

The movement of freight is the most important economic use of the Danube, Europe’s second-longest river. Removing the bottlenecks for navigation is necessary to achieve the recommended Level of Service.

 

OBJECTIVE(S)  OF  THE  PROJECT

The study aims at improving the navigation along the Hungarian section of the Danube by carrying out preparatory studies for the removal of 31 bottlenecks. It is part of a Global Project promoting the development and upgrading of the Rhine-Danube Corridor to reach stable navigation conditions throughout the year and in all riparian countries. The study is a precondition for the implementation of any physical interventions aimed at improving the navigability and at eliminating the IWW bottlenecks on the Hungarian section of the Rhine-Danube Corridor.

 

PLANNED  PROJECT  ACTIVITIES

The study consists of 9 activities from the completion of the Environmental Impact Assessment and building permits documentation to the drafting of the tender designs.

 

TRANSBOUNDARY  IMPACT

Removing bottlenecks for navigation is beneficial for the entire Danube Region.

 

PROJECT  BENEFICIARIES  /  TARGET  GROUPS

The waterway users and businesses operating in the Danube Region will be the main beneficiaries of the measures prepared in the course of the study.
