Aim of Creating
Creating aims at stimulating waterborne transport in an economical way, by giving new impulses to inland navigation. Whereas the hinterland transport of maritime cargo such as maritime containers already takes place via inland waterways to a large extent, continental cargo is almost completely transported by road.
Why Creating
Looking at the ever increasing transport flows, road congestions and the exhaust of environmentally unwanted gases and particles, the possibilities of waterborne transport should be explored and developed to a much higher extent. Also the ever increasing fuel costs should be mentioned in this respect: waterborne transport is far less fuel consuming, thus increasing the commercial need for modal shift.
