1. Inland waterways

The analysis performed within the inland waterways sector provides an overview of actors and stakeholders and of concentration of R&D funding at European level. The analysis performed within the inland waterways sector for each of the EU Member States is in the Annex.

1.1 Inland waterways market and industry characteristics

The inland navigation vessel industry has four sectors: commercial (wet bulk cargo, dry bulk cargo, containers cargo and cruise), leisure, ferryboats and river police. We consider in this overview the commercial freight sector (wet bulk, dry bulk and containers), using self-propelled cargo vessels, coupled units and push convoys.

In most cases, one vessel represents one owner (or one family), but with a trend towards increasing the size of the vessel. This applies first of all for Belgium, The Netherlands and for the Navigation of the Rhine. Nevertheless, shipping companies (owning more than one vessel) and own-account transportations are also present in the market. Cooperatives between individual owners are set up more frequently after the full deregulation of the market. Fleet ownership is concentrated in a limited number of countries (Dutch, German and Belgian, representing 89% of total tonnage).

It is common practice that vessels‟ hulls are built in the Asian countries. Completion of the vessels is taken care of in Europe (e.g. the wheelhouse and engines). Only a small number of European yards still build the complete vessel. The industry can be divided into shipyards, marine equipment suppliers with a range of engineering consultancies for design. Nevertheless, the single ship captain owners mainly work with local (European) parties rather than go abroad themselves to work with foreign yards.

Vessels are assigned a vessel number (“Europe Number”). From 2007 on, this is referred to as the unique European Number of Identification. This number is used in case the vessel is being registered, for example in case of calling at a port.

Vessels are also classified into the CEMT-class (Conférence Européenne des Ministres de Transport), giving a typology to vessels related to the capacity of the inland waterway. As such, this classification system affects innovation in the inland navigation sector, as the development of the vessels is adapted to the infrastructural limitations and regulations.

The infrastructure in inland navigation consists of ports, waterways, hinterland terminals and individual companies using inland navigation and navigation aids (for example: river information systems). Navigation requirements are determined by local waterways administrators, the ports, CCNR and DC. Formal documents that are needed to carry out inland waterway transport depend on the sailing area, the type and characteristics of the vessel and specific circumstances.

Innovations in the inland navigation sector are mainly focused on improving efficiency, limiting emissions and operational matters and not on fundamental changes to the nature of the vessel.

Financing inland navigation is a special niche for the banking sector, because the inland navigation sector is perceived as capital intensive, high risk and a small sector. As such, it is

not straightforward that banks generate interest for the sector and so not all banks are specialised or are giving loans to individual ship owners. This applies also to insurance of inland navigation vessels.

On the European level there are several important groups of actors; the national governments and their representatives, the river commissions, the EU-institutions and interest groups. Because of the European enlargement more actors joined the policy making process.

The Figure.1 below represents the sectoral innovation system for the Inland Waterways sector.

The structure of the SSI reflects the complexity of this system, with an important role for transnational regulatory bodies in the political system, duplicated by a „Regulatory system‟. Regarding the innovation infrastructure it is important to note that it targets particularly ship owners, as well as the European certification processes.

Inland navigation retains a small share in the overall freight traffic in the EU, however it is highly significant in regions with navigable waterways and set to become even more important. As mentioned above the industry has four sectors: commercial (wet bulk cargo, dry bulk cargo, containers cargo and cruise), leisure, ferryboats and river police, but this work will focus on the commercial freight sector (wet bulk, dry bulk and containers), using self-propelled cargo vessels, coupled units and push convoys.

1.2 Actors and stakeholders in inland waterways

The structure of the actors and stakeholders for inland waterways happen to be similar to the one for maritime transport, and consequently it makes sense to speak of a „Waterborne Community‟. Indeed the technological platform is the same for both modes of transport. In general this community is composed of representatives from Industry (Manufacturers, Users & Service Providers), Society (Regulatory, Research & Education Organisations, Unions) and Public Authorities (Commission & Members States).

The most important actors and stakeholders of inland waterways research in the European Union are presented in Table 1 below following the structure of the inland waterways innovation system.

1.3 Funding sources and R&D investment in inland waterways

On the EU level for the projects in inland waterways sector the EU Framework Programme funding is the EU‟s main instrument for funding research and technological development activities. On the member state level, typically, national, regional or local government funds are available for R&D in the sector. Regional and local financing is often focused on infrastructure development projects. Also, companies working in the sector are financing R&D activities related to their business interests. Data for FP7 projects from inland waterways sector per country are shown in Figure 1.2.

Figure 1.2: Numbers of inland waterways FP7 projects

In annex – Inland Waterways Transport, the overview on national funding per MS is provided.
