The European Federation of Inland Ports (EFIP) supports the aims and roadmap set out by the “NAIADES III: Boosting future-proof European inland waterway transport” communication that identifies inland ports as part of the EU’s transport backbone as “Enablers of Green Logistics”. NAIADES III constitutes the next step for European inland shipping. Published on 24 June and presented by Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean, it outlines the direction and planned actions that will solidify inland shipping’s role in Europe’s economy moving forward and the realisation of the European Green Deal.
