Assesment of Trends in Inland Waterway Transport within European Union

Abstract:

There are several innovations to be found in the inland waterway sector. European Federation of Inland Ports EFIP defines trends in Inland Ports and Current EU Policy Developments in 2014. The trends include urban logistics, biomass transports, as well as the transportation of heavy cargo. The Transport White Paper of 2011 targeted for freight transport to shift from road to rail and IWW by more than 50% by 2050. The described technological and organizational as well as logistic trends are linked and evaluated regarding their impact onto model variables of the different transport models and tools employed. Technological advancements have an impact on organizational and logistics issues and cannot be discussed independently from these topics. The analysis is performed for each trend individually and does not take into account the different maturities and interdependencies among the different trends evaluated.
