Berths in Inland Navigation

News

There are few inland navigation topics that have dominated the media in recent months as much as inland navigation vessel berths. Be it in relation to the loss of existing attractive inner-city berths, the shortage of car dropping locations, the impact of noise and pollutant emissions by vessels at berth on local residents and inner-city air quality, or in relation to future requirements such as the mandatory use of shore power at individual berths.
It was to discuss this that representatives from 10 European countries and inland navigation associations met in Vienna from 8 to 9 November 2018.

The EC Fair Labour Mobility Package, a step in the right direction

The ETF welcomes the Fair Labour Mobility Package presented yesterday by the European Commission. Mobile and non-EU workers are essential to the fabric of the internal market and the possibility to work in another EU country is an invaluable freedom. However, labour mobility only works in a spirit of fairness and upwards social convergence.
