Inland waterways
and inland ports
CEF CALL Infoday, Brussels, 10 October 2014
Marc Vanderhaegen, DG MOVE
1
General objective
• Support the implementation of the Commission's
NAIADES II Communication, which aims for inland
navigation transport to become a quality mode
of transport: well-governed, efficient, safe,
integrated into the intermodal chain, with quality
jobs occupied by a skilled workforce, and adhering
to high environmental standards.
2
Inland waterway/inland ports
general provisions as regards
infrastructure (NAIADES II)
• Priority for filling missing links, clearing important
bottlenecks, deploying innovative technology,
improving intermodal connections and developing
smart infrastructure.
• Sea and inland ports should receive particular
attention as regards inland waterway-friendly
access and facilities.
• The ports are encouraged to strengthen
cooperation and coordinate investment across
TEN-T corridors
3
TEN-T requirements – Inland ports –
comprehensive network (Article 15)
• Inland ports are connected with the road or
rail infrastructure.
• Inland ports offer at least one freight terminal
open to all operators in a non-discriminatory
way and apply transparent charges.
4
TEN-T requirements – Inland
waterways network (Articles 15 and 39)
• Rivers, canals and lakes comply with the minimum
requirements for class IV waterways as laid down in the
ECMT classification of inland waterways and have
continuous bridge clearance
• Rivers, canals and lakes are maintained so as to preserve
good navigation status, while respecting the applicable
environmental law;
• Rivers, canals and lakes are equipped with RIS;
• Availability of alternative clean fuels
5
CEF call priorities Inland waterways
• Upgrade of waterways more stable, better
navigation conditions and/or more capacity
• Upgrading, modernisation (including remote
control) and building of locks
• Increase under-bridge clearance
• Creation and/or upgrade of infrastructure for
mooring and waterside operations
• Create new waterways  if pre-identified under the
Multi Annual Programme, otherwise under AP/Annex 2
• Facilities for ice-breaking, hydrological services,
dredging
6
CEF call priorities – Inland ports (1)
- Provide access to inland ports and connections
of inland ports to rail and road sections of the
core network
- Improve access of inland ports to waterways
(incl navigational aids)
- Upgrade basic infrastructure in inland ports
(quaywalls, jetties)
- Provide waterside terminals with better
infrastructure (storage, stacking areas)
7
CEF call priorities – Inland ports (2)
- Reception facilities for oil and other waste
- ICT applications eg. Single window, streamlining
formalities ≠ RIS
- Providing or improving road/rail access and
connections within inland ports
8
CEF call priorities – Inland ports (3)
- Facilities for loading/transhipment, ice-breaking,
hydrological service, dredging
- Implementation of fixed infrastructure to supply
alternative energy eg. LNG bunkering, shore-side
electricity

What is a waterside inland port
development?
Development projects that enhance the capacity or
improve the multimodal connection of waterborne
transport operations
! Inland port rail infrastructure development located
next to the waterway but not meant to facilitate
rail/water intermodality is not a waterside inland
port development !
14
What if my project is not on the TENT core network?
The Annual programme allows to support:
- studies or works to upgrade inland waterways
not on the network to reach core network
threshold, Class IV or above
- studies on the creation of new waterways
15
Are non-waterside comprehensive
inland ports supported?
- The Annual programme under priority A2 allows
support to inland port developments which are not
exclusively dedicated to waterside infrastructure
and waterborne operations
- These developments will cover the same areas as
under the MAP Call but will be focused on the
improvement of the port’s general infrastructure,
functioning and multi-modal connections
16
GENERAL REMARKS (1)
• Fixed infrastructure for alternative energy and
facilities for ice-breaking, dredging, hydrological
and loading/transhipment to be proposed only as
part of a wider project focused on IWT basic
infrastructure upgrading and/or waterside
terminals.
• Projects focused on the creation/improvement of
multimodal logistics platforms should be submitted
under the dedicated priority under MAP and AP
calls.
17
GENERAL REMARKS (2)
• Infrastructure and facilities must be accessible for
use by all operators on a non-discriminatory basis
• Financial support for terminals/platforms and for
loading and transhipment facilities must be duly
justified
• The use of financial instruments should be
considered where appropriate
• Maintenance operations cannot be supported
