Your partner to tackle climate change
With the lowest CO2 emissions and less than a 1% share of all negative environmental impacts produced by transport, inland waterways help businesses to reduce harmful emissions, lower energy consumption and cut noise nuisance. Using the existing waterway infrastructure also reduces the demand for new infrastructure, preserving valuable landscapes.

5l of fuel equivalent enables the transport of 1 tonne of goods over

Meeting strict requirements
No form of transport is safer than inland shipping.  Inland shipping leads the way in safe transport of flammable and poisonous substances with the highest standards of inspection, training and licensing, while the EBIS initiative of the chemical and oil industry ensures high quality and safe transportation of dangerous goods.

Investing in our safety
International regulations lay down specific rules for ships in each category to ensure all products are transported under strictly defined conditions and guarantee absolute safety.  Intelligent River Information Systems deployed by all EU Member States enable smooth traffic flows on the water and guarantee overall safety control.
