Annual Report 2024

The European Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) Platform’s 2024 Annual Report is organised into two main parts, each reflecting key dimensions of our activities in 2024. The report details the strategic direction, projects, initiatives, and IWTP Committee work that underpin the IWT Platform’s vision for a sustainable and competitive inland waterway transport sector.

Part 1 – Governance, EU Funded Projects and Own Initiatives, Stakeholder Engagement, and Communication & Outreach

This section summarises our key activities, including governance developments, strategic participation in EU-funded projects (ReNEW, PLATINA4Action, PIONEERS, and DT4GS), the Platform’s own initiatives addressing labour market challenges and modal shift objectives, and stakeholder engagement through policy debates, advocacy, and events.

Part 2 – IWTP Committees: Highlights and significant achievements in 2024

The second part of the report highlights key insights into the significant contributions and achievements of the IWT Platform Committees in advancing the safety, technical, nautical, environmental, and social agenda of the IWT sector.
