I. Problem and Drivers• Narrowing gap between road transport and IWT
regarding air emissions
• Drivers:- Lack of emission regulations for several decades compared to road
transport- Long serviceable lifetime of IWT engines compared to road transport- Small market for IWT engines
Transport
II. Major Challenges • Current legislation on emissions only applicable to new
IWT fleet
• Focus should be widened to legacy fleet (existing engines)
• 4 Major pollutants: - CO2- PM- SOx- NOx
• Emission reduction achieved by technical and/or operational measures
Transport
III. To be assessed • Business as usual
• Measures at other level or voluntary measures:o Differentiated port dues/feeso Green labellingo Speed limits in environmentally sensitive areaso Cruise control systemso Exchange of information on best practices
In parts already taking place
• Legislative measures:o More stringent standards for new engineso Set emission standards for existing engineso Set emission standards for both types of engineso Explore specific measures to soften financial impact
Transport
IV. Progress to Date
• Study by PLATINA under SWP6.4 – Policy Support on greening the fleet – to be finished by end October 2012
• Marco Polo II: Provision of support services in the field of inland waterway transport – as of October 2012
Transport
V. Future Steps
•Impact assessmento Report based on findings of PLATINA and Marco Poloo To be presented to the IAB for its December sessiono 3 meetings of Common Expert Group on Reducing the Emissions of the Inland Waterway
Transport Fleet until end of the year
•Adoption of proposal(s) for legislative measure(s) on emission reduction in IWT in early 2013
