Ships are perhaps one of the most appealing forms of transport; nothing sparks the imagination like a large and beautifully painted vessel slicing through the waves. However, the enormous container ships that people often have in mind are actually not that much represented in Dutch shipping.

 

Inland shipping as a response to the growth in container flow

The expectation is that container transport to and from the mainport of Rotterdam will grow significantly over the next 20 years. If this growth is accommodated by road transport, our roads will become completely blocked. There is a lot of unused capacity in the system of inland waterways and inland shipping is capable of transporting large volumes. Compared to transport by lorry or plane, inland shipping produces far less CO2. Moreover, inland shipping accidents are rare.

Inland shipping will thus have to make a considerable contribution to keeping the mainport accessible. For that reason, the Dutch government is encouraging the transport of goods on inland waterways in order to keep the mainport accessible. In this regard, the preconditions include that the inland shipping fleet becomes cleaner and that the transport product, which comprises inland shipping, becomes more reliable.

Other preconditions are that inland shipping becomes cleaner and that the current safety level is at least maintained if not improved.

 

Inland shipping as part of the logistics chain

It is important that inland shipping entrepreneurs cooperate with other logistics parties (shippers, road hauliers, inland ports, terminal operators) in order to become an integrated part of the chain. This chain must be organised in a manner that ensures an optimum use of the strengths of inland shipping: large volumes of containers, no problems with congestion and low COemissions.

More stringent European standards for engines
New inland shipping engines must meet certain emissions requirements. These international agreements will be tightened up within the EU.

Environmental label for inland shipping vessels
The Green Award certificate is an environmental label for inland vessels. The aim of this label is to stimulate clean inland shipping and to make clean vessels recognisable. To make obtaining a Green Award certificate attractive to skippers, ports are considering giving discounts on port fees to clean inland vessels that have a Green Award certificate.
