This is an excellent possibility to inform countries delegates in UNECE about the Zero Emission Inland Waterway pilot, currently implemented by our project partner Lithuanian Inland Waterway Authority. At the same time underline specifics and needs for a sustainable development of inland waterway transport infrastructure, legal international framework conditions, rules and regulations.

The inland water transport section of UNECE sets international rules and regulation in cooperation with UNECE member states’ delegates.
