The EU-funded PLATINA4Action project aims to promote inland waterway transport (IWT) in Europe through targeted coordination and support activities. Started in January 2024, the project will run for 36 months, concluding at the end of 2026. PLATINA4Action bridges the gap between current IWT research and future innovation needs. It focuses on deploying green and connected inland waterway transport soon, evaluates NAIADES III, and prepares a policy agenda.
The platform acts as a catalyst, uniting expertise, stakeholders, and research in European Inland Waterway Transport. It builds on the network and knowledge developed in the PLATINA3 project, funded under Horizon 2020.
The PLATINA4Action consortium collaborates closely with the European Commission DG MOVE to implement and evaluate the NAIADES III Action Plan and develop a new policy agenda for IWT. This interaction involves the NAIADES Implementation Expert Group.
The PLATINA4Action Technology Transfer Workshops are dedicated events organized for shippers, fleet operators, and shipowners to demonstrate relevant technologies, innovations, and breakthrough solutions for the inland fleet. These workshops invite technology providers to demonstrate their products and services, and regulators to present the state of play of relevant technology regulatory frameworks development.
The 4th Technology Transfer Workshop will consist of two interactive sessions:
- “Steps towards decarbonization and emission reductions in IWT”
This session addresses IWT decarbonization actions aligned with the current and forthcoming EU regulatory framework for emissions reduction, showcasing relevant technologies, in particular, in the Danube region, and discussing the Danube fleet zero-emission roadmap.
- “Digitalization in IWT”
This thematic session addresses digitalization in IWT as one of the important pillars in the future development of smart and connected IWT. Leading EU-funded projects are invited to contribute to this session.
Starting time of the 4th Technology Transfer Workshop: Monday, 3 November, 11.30 h.
Programme end: Tuesday, 3 November, 17.00 h
The meeting will take place in Budapest and online.
