Next Generation Inland Waterway Ship: The Vessel

The NEWS project has developed a Next Generation European Inland Waterway Ship and logistics system to make container transport on inland waterways more cost-, time- and ecologically efficient. It supports the full integration of waterborne transport into the EU transport and logistics chain. www.news-fp7.eu/

Europas Flüsse könnten viel effizienter für den Gütertransport genutzt werden. Dafür müsste man bestehende internationale Regeln aber konsequent umsetzen www.tuwien.ac.a...

"We've designed a new standard type of inland vessel perfectly designed to nevigate the Danube river. The only problem is that it can't go anywhere until the Danube river has been redesigned for it."
It also sounds a lot like basically an "Europaschiff"* with a few updated features. Although it's hard to tell without more specs.
*Basically a standard size for medium inland vessels. Not as large as the ones that dominate transport on the Rhine, but much bigger than types optimized for smaller canals, like the Kempenaar.

WE SHOULD INVEST HEAVILY ON OUR INLAND WATER WAYS

[@tuprogresohumano]

Me gusta el concepto. Pero lo importante es que sea económicamente viable y también cumpla el propósito de abaratar costes y de hacer que la logística del trasporte (ciencia logística) sea mejor para todos. Usuarios, clientes, transportistas, productores, gobiernos, medio ambiente. Gracias.

What about vessel length and cargo capacity?

[@211Basanta]

Awesome, can we use it on major river of Nepal.. eg Koshi, Narayani, Karnali..

WE SHOULD INVEST HEAVILY ON HIGH SPEED SHIP

[@Teus123]

Not higher speed ship, just more efficient river, canal and lock infrastructure. The rest is basically already there

Auf der Karte fehlt halb EUROPA.! Ein Kontinent wird beschränkt auf den Westen. WARUM.!

Geht nicht um Europa, sondern um die Europäische Union. Und in diesem Fall sogar vor allem um die Donau als schiffbarer Fluss.
