Navigation And Inland Waterway Action and Development in Europe (NAIADES) III Action Plan 2021-2027

Transport

The European Green Deal sets an ambition target to shift a substantial part of 75 % of inland freight from road to inland navigation and rail. The Green Deal also called for an initiative to increase and better manage the capacity of inland navigation from 2021. Naiades III will present detailed actions in areas ranging from the Single Market to safety and security, social and external aspects, with a specific focus on sustainability and digitalisation.
