The inland navigation sector has been hit hard by the economic crisis. However, vessels are still being bought. Inland navigation is in the midst of a metamorphosis when it comes to emissions and sustainability issues. Once addressed, the inland sector has the potential to become the cleanest form of transport in the entire logistic chain. Inland navigation is the answer to increasing road congestion and it is also very interesting as a logistics concept for other parts of the world, such as Asia, Russia and America. Europort highlights the inland navigation concept and its vast potential.
