Recital C a (new)
Recital C a (new)
Ca. whereas the energy transition is also a challenge for the inland navigation sector despite inland waterways being one of the most environmentally-friendly modes of transport;
Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution forStresses the urgent need to tacklinge the problem of low water levels as a result of climate change, via a range of measures regarding adaptation of fleet, infrastructure, logistics and storage concepts and digitalisation; deplores, however, that the problems of the inland waterway sector, caused by the low water levels, have not been taken duly into accountare being addressed belatedly;
Amendment 95 #
4. Highlights the importance of further encouraging and supporting initiatives aimed at the use of alternative fuels and propulsion methods for inland shipping in accordance with the principle of technological neutrality; points out, in this regard, the value of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a transitional solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in inland waterway transport; notes that the existing, technically mature vessels and distribution infrastructure now based on LNG could be used for biogas and will therefore be essential in scaling up Bio- LNG as a marine fuelat the deployment of alternatives fuel and technological solutions must take into account the specificities of inland waterways such as the sailing profile of the vessels and the market segment in which they operate as well as technical constraints;
Amendment 131 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Notes that far-reaching digitalisation and data collection contributes to a cleaner environment and improved safety on board and result in more efficient routing and better communication and information exchange between ships, ports and infrastructure; stresses the need to take into account technical standards in the field of inland navigation (CESNI) and to further harmonise in this regard River Information Services (RIS), which would solve the problems arising from different interpretations of technical standards and the lack of comparable data, and underlines the need to prepare for seamless interoperable data exchange with other modes of transport;
Amendment 148 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Highlights that increased automation brings the reality of synchromodal transport in Europe closer; insists therefore on the need for a European Roadmap for Smart and Autonomous Inland Waterway Transport Systems that supports research, the development and successful implementation of smart ships and ports, and digital interoperability; raises in this regard the valued contribution of CESNI standards related to crew, vessels and information technology;
Amendment 187 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses the need to modernise inland navigation education and training, focusing on the development of green and digital skills, thereby creating attractive jobs for young people; supports, in this regard, the further development of CESNI standards to uphold the necessary skills for crew members on board inland navigation vessels; calls, furthermore, for the proper implementation of Directive (EU) 2017/2397 on the recognition of professional qualifications in inland navigation by Member States by 17 January 2022;
Amendment 206 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14 a (new)
Paragraph 14 a (new)
14a. Recalls that the energy transition towards zero emission is a technological and financial challenge for the inland navigation sector which needs appropriate support;
