Forecast for transport performance IWTBaseline EU27, billion tonkilometres
Main deviations from desired developments • Despite of a growing transport performance the modal share of IWT is under pressure • IWT is losing the advantage on external costs, in particular to due to a strong reduction of air pollutant emissions in road haulage towards 2020 • General conditions should be improved with respect to: • Markets & Awareness • Fleet • Employment & Education • Infrastructure • River Information Services
River Information Services A. Unfinished technical regulations B. Unfinished implementation and co-ordination of RIS in Europe C. Unused potential to use RIS for optimising logistics
Policy package 1: Raise modal share • Most effective policy measures to raise (multi-)modal share of IWT
Policy package 2: Reduce external cost of IWT • Most effective policy measures to reduce external costs
Policy package 3: Improve market conditions • Most effective policy measures to improve market conditions for operators and users of IWT
