The objective is to develop inland waterways transport infrastructure projects related to inland ports on the TEN-T comprehensive network.
Scope:Studies and / or works on TEN-T comprehensive inland ports, related to:
- access, including safe access through navigational aids, of inland ports to inland waterways;
- basic and water-side infrastructure in inland ports, including shore-side electricity supply;
- port reception facilities for oil and other waste (including residues from exhaust gas cleaning systems) and infrastructure for degassing vessels to meet environmental requirements;
- providing or improving rail access to, and connections within, inland ports. Road access and connections to/within inland ports will not be supported;
- ensuring year-round navigability by means of e.g. hydrological services, ice-breaking facilities and dredging of the port and port approaches.
Any internal service road, maintenance road, access road, etc., from/to/on quays, berths, terminals, rail yards, or any other location within the inland port, even if needed for the Action implementation, will not be supported.
Works projects may include on-site renewable energy generation as a synergetic element in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Work Programme, such as grid connection from the port to the grid outside of the port needed for the shore-side electricity supply, photovoltaic power plants, wind turbines etc. that is primarily used for example
