With project INWAPO the port of Trieste studies the opportunities in order to interact with the systems of fluvial water ways



In the within of European project INWAPO "sea Upgrading of inland waterways and ports", that it has the objective to improve the intermodal transport and to upgrade the marine and fluvial transport which sustainable alternative to the transport on long rubber three systems of water ways - the ports of the Adriatic North (Venice, Trieste, Koper), the ports of the Danube (Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Komarno, Sturovo), the Czech and Polish ports until the Baltic Sea (the systems of Elba, Vistola and Oder) - the Harbour Authority of Trieste will realize the analysis of the potential volume of traffic generated from the goods agroindustrial, the definition of some confrontabili indicators with those of the other ports the involved in the project in order to characterize eventual necessities in infrastructures (and consequent investments) and a study of feasibility in order to improve the relations with the logistics centers and main European aces of transport.

"The participation to project INWAPO - Marina Monassi has explained, president of the Harbour Authority of Trieste - is important for our port of call also to the aim to create an exchange of operating experiences with the other partner. Moreover we look with interest to the idroviario system of the Italy North that during the last few years has been developed considerable and has large a potential one. Own on this point would be important to create greater collaboration and coordination between the ports and the net of inland navigation, also to the aims of an acknowledgment of the Italian idroviario system in European key". The giuliano harbour agency has evidenced as the European project proposes also to the port of Trieste a new point of view: the possibility to interact with the system of fluvial and not existing water ways in Central Europe in order to develop the traffic of goods with of the markets about to expansion. The project, in fact, inquires as this articulated system of water ways can be put in connection with the port of Trieste.

Project INWAPO, of triennial duration with conclusion in September 2014, previews the analysis of the potential one of fluvial and marine traffic, the identification of the criticalities of existing infrastructures, the study of the feasibility of the potenziamento of the intermodal services with the location concerted between the partner of the actions to undertake. The project has a total budget of about 3,8 million euros and the contribution to the Harbour Authority of Trieste piles to about 138 thousand euros.
