  • Abstract:
    At its fortieth session, the UN/ECE Working Party on Inland Water Transport (SC.3) agreed to proceed with the drafting of the so-called "blue book" which would contain technical characteristics of European inland waterways and ports of international importance (E waterways and ports) identified in the European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN) (TRANS/SC.3/140, para. 19). The objective of this publication is to establish an inventory of existing and envisaged standards and parameters of E waterways and ports in Europe and to show, on an internationally comparable basis, the current inland navigation infrastructure parameters in Europe as compared to the minimum standards and parameters prescribed in the AGN Agreement. Data is presented in three tables. Table 1: Navigational Characteristics of Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (date on each section of the E waterways). Table 2: Parameters of locks of inland waterways of international importance (data on some 600 locks, ship lifts and inclined planes situated on E waterways). Table 3: Technical characteristics of inland navigation ports of international importance (data on 370 European inland navigation ports of international importance). 73 p. Reviewer's note: The Working Party agreed that the "blue book" should be updated every five years so that it could serve as a basic instrument for monitoring the progress made in the implementation of the AGN. The user may wish to consult the latest document page of the Inland Water Transport Working Party at http://www.unece.org/trans/main/sc3/sc3.html to ascertain whether a newer edition has been issued since this review.
