Good Navigation StatusBackground and aim To substantiate Article 15 §3.(b) of TEN‐T Guidelines (Reg.1315/2013) as regards Good Navigation
Status:Member States shall ensure that on the Comprehensive Network “Rivers, canals and lakes are maintained so as to preserve Good Navigation Status while respecting the applicable environmental law”
Article 38:“For inland navigation infrastructure within the TEN‐T Core Network, Good Navigation Status has to be achieved (and thereafter preserved) by 31 December 2030.”
What is important for Good Navigation Status? Cost‐effective transport Minimising waiting times, reliability and predictability of transport Safety Sustainability (e.g. fuel consumption, working with nature)
Key focus : physical waterway infrastructure
Task of GNS studyStudy 1/2016 – 10/2017 Agreed GNS components and requirements (quant./qual.) Monitoring and reporting options and requirements Input to TENtec Database IWW Glossary Specification of exemption criteria to Art. 15 § 3.(a) GNS network assessment ‐ GNS parameters and KPIs Roadmaps for critical GNS sections Good Practice Guidelines for implementation of GNSCo‐create minimum standards of a process for the development, implementation and monitoring of “Good Navigation Status”
PrinciplesUse of result is “open” Technical background for the legal interpretation of Article 15 §3.(b): e.g.
• Input for a Staff Working Document by DG MOVE• Basis for project selection criteria by INEA (CEF funding..)
No new targets will be set by the study Proposals, oriented on existing agreements Focus on „how to implement targets“ and „monitor performance“
Work so farWorking definition“Good Navigation Status (GNS) means the state of the inland navigation transport network, which enables efficient, reliable and safe navigation for users by ensuring minimum waterway parameter values and levels of service.”Moreover, GNS is to be achieved considering the wider socioeconomic and environmental sustainabilityof waterway management.
Status Ongoing bilateral expert contacts and discussions Survey on GNS elements among European Working Group Input to updated draft TENtec glossary Draft discussion papers on GNS concept Presentation, discussion of concept:
• EFIP Executive Committee , 7 – 8 April 2016, Vukovar• CCNR Roundtable 2 March 2016, Strasbourg• Pan‐European meeting on 20 June 2016, Rotterdam• Regional workshops Klaipeda, Budapest, Strasbourg, Berlin• Meeting with users today
Today’s meeting
Specific focus of discussion with you:
What do your members in general expect from Good Navigation Status?
What are the key bottlenecks and shortcomings for users?
Which are the most important topics to address in GNS in order to improve the competitive position of IWT and its modal share, while ensuring safe & sustainable navigation?
What are key cross‐border issues?
Current GNS concept
Standards and Rivers vs canals
Do you agree that achieving the standards for the navigation channel parameters is the most important topic for GNS in the first place (available depth, height under bridges, width)?
How do you see the current regimes and agreements such as the • CEMT classification• AGN• Rhine profile
Are these different regimes accepted and well workable for the industry?
Where would you see room for improvement?
Information mgmt & ETA vs waiting times
As regards the service times and capacity of locks and bridges, would you see this as key issues to address, e.g. by means of a KPI on the waiting time?
How about the wider journey time reliability where corridor management and slot planning at locks may reduce waiting times and provide more fuel efficient (slower) and reliable navigation?
What is your view on the requirements for the notification in case of closures of sections of the network? How much time in advance at which situations/length of closures?
How would you see River Information Services to be addressed in GNS? Would it be reasonable to refer to DINA/DMN and projects such as CORISMA and COMEX rather than making new analyses and views about this topic?
Stakeholder involvement
How do you see the process concerning the involvement of industry in waterway management, such as planning of new constructions, maintenance works?
What is your appreciation of COV in the Netherlands?
Would COV be a model to copy to other Member States as well?
What is the situation in other EU countries as regards the user involvement?
Are there any other good practices?
Exemption criteriaConcerning the 5.25 minimum height under bridge and 2.5 metreavailable draught:
What reasons for deviation / exemption from TEN‐T minimum requirements would you accept?
What kind of deviations / exemptions are acceptable in existing regimes?
Which are not?
Could a Good Navigation Status be achieved, although exemptions apply?
Other issues
How do you judge the situation of mooring places and car‐lift facilities in the different EU countries?
What are good examples to be followed?
Next steps Ongoing bilateral expert contacts and discussions
