“…This is primarily due to the imposition of excessive additional costs associated with pilotage, bridge, locks and one-time permits, which results in higher transportation expenses on the Dnepr River compared to rail and/or road transportation. Pfoser et al (2018) highlighted that adherence to legislative requirements imposes a significant administrative burden on barge operators while also incurring substantial costs for regulatory authorities tasked with verifying compliance. According to their study, these challenges arise due to the multifaceted nature of legislation, encompassing various aspects, as well as the complexities associated with cross-border operations involving multiple jurisdictions.…”

“…Other factors that influence the competitiveness of inland waterway transport by making it less competitive than road mode of transport, as identified by academic studies, include time (transit, loading and unloading) (Meers et al, 2017;, issues with waitings in port due to staff work schedules have also been identified as a major challenge for transport users (Pfoser et al, 2018). However, for the transport sector to gain from increasing transport demand, it must enhance the quality of its services to cope with the future demand and improve its competitiveness (Caris et al, 2014;Meers et al, 2017).…”

PurposeInland shipping has been extensively recognised as a sustainable, efficient and good alternative to rail and road modes of transportation. In recent years, various authorities and academic researchers have advocated shifting from road to other sustainable modes like inland waterway transport (IWT) or rail transport. Academic work on modernisation and technological innovations to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of waterborne transportation is becoming apparent as a growing body of literature caused by the need to achieve a sustainable transport system. Thus, it became apparent to explore the research trends on IWT.Design/methodology/approachA systematic and structured literature review study was employed in this paper to identify the challenges and concepts in modernising inland waterways for freight transportation. The review analysed 94 articles published in 54 journals from six well-known databases between 2010 and 2022.FindingsThe key findings of this review are that despite various challenges confronting the sector, there have been successful cases of technological advancement in the industry. The main interest among scholars is improving technical and economic performance, digitalisation, and safety and environmental issues. The review revealed that most of the literature is fragmented despite growing interest from practitioners and academic scholars. Academic research to address the strategic objectives, including strengthening competitiveness (shipbuilding, hydrodynamics, incorporating artificial intelligence into the decision-making process, adopting blockchain technology to ensure transparency and security in the transactions, new technologies for fleets adaptation to climate change, more effective handling, maintenance and rehabilitation technologies), matching growth and changing trade patterns (intermodal solutions and new logistics approaches) are major causes of concerns.Originality/valueBy employing the approach of reviewing previously available literature on IWT review papers, this review complements the existing body of literature in the field of IWT by providing in a single paper a consolidation of recent state-of-the-art research on technological developments and challenges for inland waterways freight transport in the intermodal supply chain that can act as a single resource to keep researchers up to date with the most recent advancements in research in the domain of inland waterway freight transport. Additionally, this review identified gaps in the literature that may inspire new research themes in the field of IWT.

“…A belvízi közlekedés digitális interfészei átjárhatóságának javítása is hatékony intézkedés e tekintetben. Az egyablakos ügyintézés kialakítása a vízi szállító vállalatok részére hatékony intézkedés, hiszen lehetővé teszi számukra, hogy minden információt és szolgáltatást egyetlen kapcsolattartási ponton keresztül kapjanak meg, ami megkönynyíti a kereskedelmi ügyintézést (Pfoser, Jung & Putz, 2018). A Stratégiában a "Vízi mobilitás" és a "Biztonság" prioritás területek közös tevékenysége -a fenti kutatás megállapításaival összhangban -három célt tűzött ki, úgymint: a határforgalom-ellenőrzési eljárások egyszerűsítését, a harmonizálást és a digitalizációt.…”

Rendészeti együttműködés a Duna Stratégia égisze alatt

Cél: A tanulmány Magyarország nézőpontjából feltárja, milyen a Duna régió országainak rendészeti együttműködése, megfelelő alapot jelent-e a Duna Stratégia a közös munkában, és melyek a további fejlesztési lehetőségek a vízi közlekedéssel összefüggő biztonság megerősítése érdekében.Módszertan: A kutatás félig strukturált interjúkészítés módszerével a Belügyminisztérium és a rendőrség e témában jártas tisztségviselőinek bevonásával készült. A szerző rögzített interjúk elemzése során vonta le következtetéseit, emellett dokumentumelemzés módszerével feldolgozta a stratégia „Biztonság” prioritási területe irányító testületének angol nyelvű jegyzőkönyveit.Megállapítások: A Duna Stratégia eddig végrehajtott biztonsági projektjei nem nyújtottak kielégítő megoldást a vízi határforgalomban rejlő bűnüldözési kihívásokra, bár abban hazánk jelentős eredményeket ért el. A biztonság erősítésére a dunai államok rendészeti együttműködésének további fokozása ad választ. A magyar dunai rendészeti szervek látenciával küzdenek a hajókon történő árucsempészet valós mértéke terén, és ez súlytalanná teheti politikai szinten a kezdeményezéseket, így azokra kevesebb forrás is allokálható. Folytatni kell egy állandó, a Dunai Rendészeti Koordinációs Központ felállításával kapcsolatos munkát és a vízi mobilitást segítő adminisztratív akadályok csökkentését is, hiszen a rendészeti szerveknek egyfajta szolgáltatást kell nyújtani a vízi személy- és teherfuvarozók részére.Érték: A Duna közvetlenül tíz európai országot köt össze, de a Duna Stratégiában tizennégy ország vesz részt, így a régió folyami biztonsága szempontjából kiemelten fontos a rendészeti együttműködés fokozása. Magyarország az egyetlen schengeni külső vízi határral rendelkező ország, melynek a Fekete-tenger felől érkező veszélyek időbeni felismerése is feladata. A tanulmány magyar nézőpontból emeli ki az együttműködés legjelentősebb hátráltató tényezőit és a jövőbeni lehetséges megoldásokat.

“…For instance, two articles consider the steps to be taken for the promotion of IWT at the moment of implementation of EUSDR: 1) Mihic, Golusin, and Mihajlovic (2011) present measures to stimulate sustainable development in the Danube Region on the basis of previous research findings and regulatory documents; and 2) Radmilović and Maraš (2011) map the advantages and disadvantages of inland navigation to provide a general overview of the (sub-)sector and its future in the Danube Region. A recent study by Pfoser, Jung, and Putz (2018) reviews administrative barriers delimitating economic and environmental potentials of IWT on the Danube. They conclude that stakeholders from all involved countries report on similar types of barriers, thus standardization, harmonization, and digitization may remove or reduce many impacts of the revealed problems.…”

Although the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) is a macro-regional policy document of the European Union, it pays special attention to the development of the Danube, the river it is named after. In the field of transport, an EUSDR priority area (1a) is dedicated especially to waterways mobility, addressing mainly transportation on the Danube. One of the key targets is to increase cargo transport on the river by 20% by 2020 in relation to the base year of 2010. In recent years, there is growing interest in analyzing the implementation of EUSDR, but inland navigation related results are still under-researched. This paper aims to fill this gap by a late mid-term evaluation of EUSDR's impact in inland waterway transport on the Danube. Therefore, projects in line with EUSDR are reviewed in order to understand the commitment and efforts of countries. On this basis, data on freight transport volumes are compared. The analysis focuses not only on single countries but also on three (Upper, Middle, and Lower) sections of the river to reveal regional characteristics and differences. Findings indicate that the expected increase of transport volumes on the Danube is not being achieved, as transport volumes declined from 2010 to 2017.
