NAIADES Action Programme  In January 2006, the multi-annual European Action Programme for Inland Waterway Transport (NAIADES) which aims at promoting inland waterway transport (IWT) in Europe was launched. The programme includes recommendations for action to be taken between 2006 and 2013 by the European Community, its Member States and other parties concerned. NAIADES is based on a thorough assessment and an extensive consultation with both political stakeholders and the sector. The programme identifies existing problems and offers specific solutions to eliminate them.
NAIADES sets the frame for a comprehensive IWT policy by focusing on five strategic interdependent areas:
- Markets
- Fleet
- Jobs & Skills
- Image
- Infrastructure
These key areas are rounded off by considerations for modernising the organisational structure of the IWT sector. Such modernisation is deemed necessary to assist the implementation of NAIADES.
