Competitiveness Improvement Plan: Enhancing inland waterway transport in the Baltic Sea region

This report analyses current status of inland waterway transport and existing bottlenecks in five countries around the Baltic Sea (Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden). It furthermore proposes measures to improve inland waterway transport and includes recommendations for more efficient structures on the national levels. The plan was compiled by administrations responsible for inland waterway transport, port and shipping companies, lobby organisations and shipping promotion centers in five countries.

IT prototype: Inland Waterway Information system ELIAS

ELIAS is a map-based web application which provides information on inland waterways in the Baltic Sea region. It includes, for example, the positions of vessels, real time water levels, and traffic density and flow. It can be used, for instance, by logistics companies and skippers to plan their inland water transport operations. ELIAS was developed by the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) in Bremen in cooperation with ports, inland waterway barge operators, port operators and associations in Germany, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania, and it was tested in Germany and Finland.
