FACTS & FIGURESINLAND NAVIGATION IN EUROPE
WATERWAYS IN EUROPE EU Waterways
40,000 km ½ accessible to ≥ 1,000 tonne
vessels 18 out of 27 EU Member States
have navigable waterways
EU Roads 4,800,000 km
EU Railways 200,000 km
Waterways elsewhere USA 42,000 km Russia 85,000 km China 121,000 km
WATERWAY GEOGRAPHY
Strong in navigable regions
Low transport share in EU27 BUT, up to 40% in hinterland of major
seaports
TRANSPORTED GOODS
All types of cargo
Ca. 500 million tonnes per year After bulk, consumer goods go increasingly
by water Container market will double by 2020
A VESSEL FOR EVERY LOAD
From containers to liquids to bulk goods, there is a ship to carry it
An average ship can take 200 truck loads The inland shipping fleet in EU counts
around 12,850 vessels
NATURALLY MULTIMODAL
NO TRAFFIC JAMSSlower but reliable
Rotterdam Duisburg24 hours
Paris Le Havre36 hours
Basel Antwerp 48 hoursLyon Marseille
48 hours
HISTORIC ADVANTAGE
Plenty of waterborne trade opportunities
Most people in EU live near coast or in main river valleys.
SAVING ENERGY & CARBON
Saving energy & carbon
CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by inland ships are just one third of those for road bound trucks.
0.25 MJ/TONNE-KM30 CO2 PER TONNE-KM
0.8 MJ/TONNE-KM150 CO2 PER TONNE-KM
Oldest means of transport using newest technology
Modern traffic management systems Swift electronic data transfer between
water and shore In-advance and real-time exchange of
information
RIVER INFORMATION SERVICES
DIRECT JOBS
40,000 JOBS
A growing jobs market
Inland shipping creates 40,000 jobs onboard “and more to come”
Job opportunities on board and ashore
PROMINENT USERS
Realising the waterways’ potential with the EU Naiades Action Plan
Streamlining waterway transport Removing barriers
SEAMLESS EUROPEAN WATERWAY NETWORK
CONNECTING EUROPE
Congestion-free links between Europe’s ports and industrial centres
Major economic centres will be conncected by three new links:
Adriatic-Milan (completion 2020)
Rhine-Mediterranean (completion 2025)
Antwerp-Paris (completion 2018)
