In order for RIS to allow for interconnection with the logistics chain, it is important that information is shared not only among the inland waterway transport users, for instance through port community systems of inland ports and smart inland waterway infrastructure systems, but also with systems and applications of other modes of transport. The maritime National Single Windows (MNSW) within the European Maritime Single Window environment (EMSWe), established by Regulation (EU) 2019/1239 of the European Parliament and of the Council, should enable harmonised ship reporting across the Union in maritime transport. The exchange of traffic-related information, such as arrival and departure times, would ensure interoperability, multimodality, and smooth integration of inland waterway transport (IWT) with the overall logistics chain. The electronic freight transport information (eFTI), established by Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council, should form the basis for the exchange of cargo information on dangerous goods and waste between RIS users where required. When necessary, RIS should enable links with, and should make information available to, digital systems and platforms of other modes of transport.
