Good Practice Manual on Inland Waterway Maintenance, developed within the European Coordination Action PLATINA 2, has recently been finalized and accepted by the European Commission.

PLATINA 2 (2013 - 2016) is a European Coordination Action supporting the implementation of the NAIADES 2 policy package "Towards quality inland waterway transport", which aims at promoting this sustainable mode of transport.

PLATINA 2 is implemented by a consortium of 12 partners from seven different countries under the coordination of viadonau and funded by the European Commission (DG MOVE) under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development.

The elaboration of the manual was supported by a European expert platform on waterway maintenance established within PLATINA 2, which provided input for and performed reviews of the draft manual

Only English version of the Manual is available
