1/ The first figure takes into account the existing situations, whereas the second one represents both future developments and, in some cases, existing situations.
2/ Allows for a safety clearance of about 0.30 m between the uppermost point of the vessel's structure or its load and a bridge.
3/ Allows for expected future developments in ro-ro, container and river-sea navigation.
4/ Checked for container transport:
5.25 m for vessels transporting 2 layers of containers;
7.00 m for vessels transporting 3 layers of containers;
9.10 m for vessels transporting 4 layers of containers.
50% of the containers may be empty or ballast should be used.
5/ Some existing waterways can be considered as class IV by virtue of the maximum permissible length for vessels and convoys, even though the maximum beam is 11.4 m and the maximum draught 4.00 m.
6/ The draught value for a particular inland waterway to be determined according to the local conditions.
7/ Convoys consisting of a larger number of barges can also be used on some sections of waterways of class VII. In this case, the horizontal dimensions may exceed the values shown in the table.
(b)Operational criteria for E waterways
E waterways should meet the following essential operational criteria in order to be able to ensure reliable international traffic:
-
Through traffic should be ensured throughout the navigation period, with the exception of the breaks mentioned below;
-
The navigation period may be shorter than 365 days only in regions with severe climatic conditions, where the maintaining of channels free of ice in the winter season is not possible and a winter break is therefore necessary. In these cases, dates should be fixed for the opening and closure of navigation. The duration of breaks in the navigation period caused by natural phenomena such as ice, floods, etc. should be kept to a minimum by appropriate technical and organizational measures;
-
The duration of breaks in the navigation period for regular maintenance of locks and other hydraulic works should be kept to a minimum. Users of a waterway where maintenance work is planned should be kept informed of the dates and duration of the envisaged break in navigation. In cases of unforeseen failure of locks or other hydraulic facilities, or other force majeure, the duration of breaks should be kept as limited as possible using all appropriate measures to remedy the situation;
-
No breaks shall be admissible during low water periods. A reasonable limitation of admissible draught may nevertheless be allowed on waterways with fluctuating water levels. However, a minimum draught of 1.20 m should be ensured at all times, with the recommended or characteristic draught being ensured or exceeded for 240 days per year. In regions referred to in subparagraph (ii) above, the minimum draught of 1.20 m should be ensured for 60% of the navigation period on average;
-
Operating hours of locks, movable bridges and other infrastructure works shall be such that round-the-clock (24-hour) navigation can be ensured on working days, if economically feasible. In specific cases, exceptions may be allowed due to organizational and/or technical reasons. Reasonable hours of navigation should also be ensured during public holidays and at weekends.
The network of E waterways shall be complemented by a system of inland navigation ports of international importance. Each E port should meet the following technical and operational criteria:
-
It should be situated on an E waterway;
-
It should be capable of accommodating vessels or pushed convoys used on the relevant E waterway in conformity with its class;
-
It should be connected with main roads and railway lines (preferably belonging to the network of international roads and railway lines established by the European Agreement on Main International Traffic Arteries (AGR), the European Agreement on Main International Railway Lines (AGC) and the European Agreement on Important International Combined Transport Lines and Related Installations (AGTC));
-
Its aggregate cargo handling capacity should be at least 0.5 million tonnes a year;
-
It should offer suitable conditions for the development of a port industrial zone;
-
It should provide for the handling of standardized containers (with the exception of ports specialized in bulk cargo handling);
-
All the facilities necessary for usual operations in international traffic should be available;
-
With a view to ensuring the protection of the environment, reception facilities for the disposal of waste generated on board ships should be available in ports of international importance
