The project MoVe IT! (www.moveit-fp7.eu), funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union, aims at a modernisation of inland waterway vessels with focus on retrofitting of existing vessels and technology transfer from new buildings and other transport modes. The topics of the project refer to the improvement of energy efficiency and...

The project MoVe IT! (www.moveit-fp7.eu), funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union, was focussed on modernisation of inland waterway vessels by retrofitting. In order to stimulate an implementation of the results by the industry, visualization of the positive impacts was realised by a set of vivid demonstrators. In this paper...

In this deliverable, simulator demonstrations carried out in the FP7 EU Project MoVe IT! are described. The demonstrations considered comprise: 1. Retrofit of rudders; 2. Removal of flanking rudders; 3. Lengthening of the Herso 1; 4. Simulator demonstrations of the Herso 1.

As the second longest river in Europe, the Danube connects 10 countries on its way to the Black Sea, being an international waterway used by vessels of different provenience. Thus, there are in fact 10 different social, economic and political systems at work when dealing with the waste generated by the vessels. This uncoordinated approach has affec...

The environmental assessment of the MoVe IT! vessels and the EU fleet is one major objective of the MoVe IT! project. The environmental assessment is carried out for five vessels, comprising a container vessel, three pushers and a motor cargo vessel being operated together with a lighter. The vessels are being operated on the Rhine, the Danube and...

Sustainable development has turned into a daily concept by now. Similarly, sustainable transport also appears increasingly often, primarily in transport policy and strategic plans. However, it would be equally important if we could apply this aspect for certain activities such as haulage and forwarding that are a part of transport. Today, forwarder...

The reasons for choosing or promoting a certain way of transporting goods are dependent on a multitude of factors. Shippers will be interested in reliable logistics and low cost, while authorities are in general more concerned with relieving congestion and minimizing the environmental impact of transport in general, while accident-free transport is...

Sustainable development has become a guiding principle of human activities nowadays. Sustainable transport can take a great part in future development. Today this is not the case, and road transport contributes to this above all. For sustainable transport development the necessity of modal shift is inevitable and the inland waterway navigation shou...

Nowadays, the sustainable development has became guiding principle for human activities. Index performs the sustainable transport under evolution. In works on CREATING project supported by EU, a new, integrated STPI (Sustainable Transport Performance Index) was developed for describing the sustainable inner waterway navigation transport and to comp...
