Key points

The EESC:

  • believes that river information services (RIS) in Europe not only now, but also in the future, should pursue three objectives:
    • safety,
    • sustainability, and
    • enabling integration with different modes of transport;
  • is therefore of the opinion that to be able to adapt to changing challenges and opportunities, the relevant systems should be compatible with the various modes of transport and be user-friendly;
  • believes that building awareness of the new digital technologies in inland waterway transport and educating people on how to use them are essential. It must be ensured that employees are involved in discussions on how to implement RIS.
