The program is divided into three lines of action: a goal at a better integration of the network of routes inland waterways with logistics chains in order to increase their competitiveness, efficiency and safety by providing aid for the modernisation and adaptation of ships to make them fit both river navigation and access and mooring in ports seafarers; the second measure is intended to facilitate the entry of new entrants in the market by providing aid for the acquisition of their first ship; with the third measure it is intended to compensate some the additional costs determined by the passage of the transport of the goods from road to inland waterways through a partial coverage of operating costs.
