The regular updates of the National Action Plans monitor the implementation status of the Fairway Rehabilitation and Maintenance Master Plan which was endorsed by a large majority of the Danube Transport Ministers in December 2014.

The updates illustrate the status of critical locations, hydrological conditions, rehabilitation and maintenance activities and the costs incurred throughout the last year. The status is reported in a harmonized way for the whole Danube. In addition, an outlook on planned investments and the operational budgets is included. The analysis of financing gaps is crucial to support improvements of the Danube waterway.

This current update includes detailed data on the fairway availability and the waterway monitoring and maintenance measures conducted by the waterway administrations in the period from January to September 2017. It also presents the financing gaps in the operational budgets of the individual waterway administrations.
