CREATING - Concepts To Reduce Environmental Impact And Attain Optimal Transport Performance By Inland Navigation |
 |
CREATING aims to reinforce the position of inland navigation, targeting RTD on integration and consistent validation of innovative intermodal vessel concepts and systems, to attain optimal sustainable transport performance, with the objective to: * reduce the congestion problems in European transport and cope with the predicted growth of transport; * strengthen the competitiveness of the inland navigation link in logistic transport chains, by integrating relevant research domains to create new intermodal logistic concepts and link up all players in the logistics chain; * optimise innovative, safe and sustainable inland navigation concepts, focussing on significant reduction of emissions, optimal efficiency, and safety for vessels and the environment. |
|
Added value for SMEs 1. Improving logistic chains of SMEs by developing optimal and efficient ways of inland navigation concepts 2. Optimising propulsion and hullform of vessels |
