The exchange of information between inland waterway vessels and inland ports, for example on availability of port installations, operating times, or vessel and cargo information, is not always optimal, thus impacting the efficiency of IWT operations. Information on the availability of alternative fuel infrastructure in inland ports is of particular importance in promoting the environmental performance of the sector. In order to simplify and streamline the exchange of such information and improve the overall efficiency of the sector, it is important that standardised interfaces be established and become part of RIS and that the necessary technical specifications are developed.
