The Green Deal for Danube River Transport is a policy initiative developed by Pro Danube for the build-up of the innovation framework for IWT in the Danube region. Green Deal proposes good practice examples inspired from innovative models adopted in Western Europe, with dedicated focus on the modernization of the Danube fleet and the reduction of environmental impact. Based on 4 main pillars, the Green Deal brings together governments/administrations of the Danube States, fleet & barge operators, port & terminal operators as well as industrial users of the Danube waterway together with their logistics service providers.
Based on the expertise of each of the four groups, the following key-elements are being addressed:
