Creech, Calvin (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Hiver, Jean Michel (author), Huber, Nils (author)The PIANC InCom/EnviCom Working Group 236 was established in early 2021 to develop PIANC guidelines for improving navigability conditions on natural or quasi-natural rivers, while maintaining morphological processesa nd natural river form and function. Its key objectives include: 1)development of guidelines to improve and maintain the...conference paper 2023

(author)Objective: This study investigates the implementation of the waterborne platooning transport concept in two of the largest European inland navigation corridors, the Rhine and the Danube region. Each region has different geo-economic and environmental features. These features are compared, and their effects on implementing a waterborne...journal article 2022

Colling, A.P. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Can Hassel, Edwin (author)To achieve a modal shift towards waterborne transport and to deal with the shortage of crewmembers, a platooning concept called the “Vessel Train” is explored for the inland navigation sector. A Vessel Train consists of a lead and various follower vessels. The lead vessel is fully manned and takes over the navigational and situational...journal article 2021

Rotteveel, E. (author)This research focuses on identifying the most important stern shape aspects, with regard to resistance and propulsion power, of inland ships. Such information should help designers to determine which hull form aspect to adjust in case design requirements need them to do so. The information is obtained by firstly conducting a large series of CFD...doctoral thesis 2019

Vinke, Frederik R.S. (author), van Dorsser, Cornelis (author), Velinga, Tiedo (author)Inland Water Transport (IWT) is one of the modalities for freight transport between the ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp and the hinterland in Germany. Transport over water between these areas is possible as a result of the presence of the Rhine, but more important are the navigation conditions on the river. As a result of climate change,...conference paper 2019

Nouasse, Houda (author), Horváth, K. (author), Rajaoarisoa, Lala (author), Doniec, Arnaud (author), Duviella, Eric (author), Chuquet, Karine (author)In a global change context, governments in Europe want to promote alternative transports as inland navigation or railway instead of road transport. As example, in north of France, a shift of 20% from road transport to these alternative transport solutions is expected by 2050. Reaching this goal requires not only the delivery of new...journal article 2016

Robijns, T. (author)Growing transportation rates and the subsequent growth in inland waterway transport have led to an increase in inland vessel sizes and draught. Due to the fluctuating water levels on rivers and these increasing draughts, the distance between the river bed and the ships are decreasing. Rijkswaterstaat wants to know the effects of sailing at these...master thesis 2015

Hekkenberg, R.G. (author)The European inland waterway transport sector is a highly competitive one. The transport operators in this sector are mainly small companies with only one ship. Such companies have very few possibilities to distinguish themselves from their competitors. At the same time their main asset, their ship, is often highly standardized. In this thesis,...doctoral thesis 2013

(m.dejong@tudelft.nl)) (author)Although much attention is given to the consequences of climate change with respect to melting icecaps, starving polar bears, sea level rise and inadequate storm defense systems, there may be severe consequences for inland shipping too. Not only because of more frequent occurrence and longer durations of closed storm surge barriers, which may...conference paper 2010

De Groot, R.J.A. (author)In general, an inland navigation lock has a structural lifespan of about 100 years, while in most cases this lock is not big enough anymore after 25 - 50 years. This is caused by the growing ship dimensions and/or intensities. A functional flexible lock is the solution for extending the functional lifespan. This type of lock is, with or without...master thesis 2009
