Integrating Danube Region into Smart & Sustainable Multi-modal & Intermodal Transport Chains

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Danube

Date of latest update: 2024-03-22

Description

Description (EN):

The Danube and its navigable tributaries offer significant free capacity for freight and passengers flows. A prospering waterborne transport sector contributes to a sustainable transport system and regional growth. Besides better fairway conditions, a more modern, energy-efficient fleet, better management of the transport system through comprehensive infrastructure planning and investment solutions are required. The investment needs refer to port infra and superstructure, multimodal connections to port hinterlands. The project will focus on addressing main regional challenges in infrastructure governance and planning highlighting key actions needed to support Danube transport, port infrastructure planning. It builds on the results of DAPhNE project on port infrastructure development and Danube Ports Network cooperation. DIONYSUS results will feed into the elaboration of transport corridor development policies by means of gap analysis reports and recommendations. It will provide a framework to identify shortcomings in rail & road access infrastructure of the Danube ports and consolidate investment needs based on Market Analyses. Matching port planning with transport infrastructure and Regional Economic Development Plans will deliver recommendations for their adaptations in line with sector priorities. Targeted and niche-specific case studies for Container Liner Services and Agricultural Products will be developed. Also, an Infrastructure Master Plan for the River Cruise Industry will be elaborated. Essential outputs will consist of Port Development Plans and Operational and Business models to support quality, sustainable development, and investment decisions. All project’s outputs will ensure alignment with specific EU Transport, TEN-T and Cohesion Policy objectives for the period 2014 - 2020 and beyond, including the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2021 - 2027), making DIONYSUS to a key instrument to contribute the EUSDR implementation.

Achievements (EN):

Taking stock of the DPN’s achievements: Launched in the framework of the DAPhNE project, the Danube Ports Network is an initiative which has emerged in response of a real need to address and reduce the development and innovation gap between the ports situated on the Rhine-Danube Corridor, aiming towards cooperation strengthening between inland and maritime ports in the Danube Region. The DPN brings together public and private sea & inland ports and terminal operators from the Danube Region willing to engage in a long-term, active and coordinated cooperation process benefiting the port industry and regional economy at large. Moreover, DPN emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge and networking to keep the Danube ports at the forefront of global innovation and as such to adapt them to the needs and requirements of a future-oriented European transport system. Hence, the DPN facilitates diverse forms of cooperation and partnerships between Danube ports, leading to synergies and higher efficiency. In the framework of DIONYSUS, DPN was at the heart of coordinated project capitalisation tasks that contributed to efficient project implementation, knowledge-creation and transfer, as well as to synergies with EU transport policy initiatives and other port development related projects. Capitalisation was understood in the frame of the project way more than the mere dissemination of project results and outputs. As such, several publications were successfully elaborated and disseminated: two editions of the Danube Ports Handbook, 6 editions of a newsletter as well as 3 editions of a DPN Capitalisation Factsheet. These publications played an important role in disseminating project results and enhance project visibility in the Danube Region and well beyond. The aim of these publications was manifold: to present relevant port statistics collected via dedicated surveys (Danube Ports Handbook), to inform about the activities carried out by the Danube Ports Network or with its support (DPN capitalisation factsheets) and last but not least, to inform the wider IWT community about the milestones achieved in the implementation process of DIONYSUS (newsletters elaborated with the direct support of the DPN). These publications were successfully disseminated and made available on the website of the Danube Ports Network via the Port Knowledge Center. Equally important to highlight are the knowledge-transfer events organised with the participation of renowned experts of the IWT industry aiming to provide insights into their various activities, examples of good practices and concrete recommendations in light of the challenging adaptation process to the ambitious climate goals enshrined in the European Green Deal.

Expected Results (EN): Intensity of cooperation of key actors in the programme area in order to strengthen environmentally-friendly, safe and balanced transport systems (survey based composite indicator)

Expected Outputs (EN):

Danube inland and seaports are essential to unlock economic development and trade opportunities and enable future green growth and jobs in the Danube Region. Efficient infrastructure planning at the transport corridor level, with due consideration of ports, will further strengthen the DR transport and logistics system. This shall enable individual river and seaports in the DR to increase their accessibility, efficiency and multi-& intermodal transport connections which in turn will support high-quality logistics, services, and sustainable business opportunities. Consequently, investment needs in ports and hinterland (rail, road & maritime) connections will be aligned with transport infrastructure and regional development plans. Enhancing port infrastructure and service quality is crucial for reducing transport costs, and this, in turn, can increase connectivity, facilitate trade and boost trade flows in the Danube Region. All Port Development Plans elaborated for TEN-T Core Network and comprehensive Danube Ports, will contribute to the enhancement of their logistical capabilities leading to improved competitive advantages and sustainable development. It will be ensured that these port development plans are aligned with transport and regional economic development strategies and related national action plans. Danube Ports Network (DPN) which represents a relevant output of the DTP/DAPhNE project will act as a central coordination and cooperation platform for the Danube ports, as well as a knowledge creation and dissemination instrument for the Danube Region port community at large. Within the framework of the project, DPN will ensure key learning actions, Danube Ports Day events, providing platforms to discuss policy and key issues facing the port sector and ways forward will be organized on a yearly basis in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
