The Key Objective
The key objective of the EU financed Assistance for Dnipro Transport Development Project is to assist the Ministry of Infrastructure to revitalize the IWT sector in Ukraine in line with the EU legislation and best practices.
With deep inland waterways expertise and worldwide experience, the team helps drafting the new Law on IWT in compliance with EU standards, drafting of secondary legislation and upgrading the capacity and capability of the different public IWT functions of various governmental entities, required for a good functioning of the IWT sector.
Our solutions are designed to be integrated and form complete IWT systems while we heavily emphasize quality, safety and reliability.
Equally important support is being provided in the preparation of Ukraine’s IWW Transport Development Strategy 2020-2030, to indicate among others, the required public investments.
As the journey towards a sustainable reform of the inland waterways sector accelerates, we can proudly say that there has never been a better opportunity for the Inland waterways transport to become a serious alternative mode of transport in the Ukrainian economy.
What is the EU support for the development of IWT in Ukraine?
In order to support the Ukrainian authorities to implement the inland waterway reform in Ukraine, the European Commission launched in January 2019 the "Assistance for Dnipro Transport Development" project focusing on:
- Improving the legal and regulative framework required for reforming
the inland waterway transport in relation to the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement; - Strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Infrastructure and related institutions due to improve the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of the IWT sector in Ukraine.
- Supporting the promotion and development of IWT in a sustainable manner.
