- The FAIRWAY Project has as general objective: the elaboration of coordinated action plans for the implementation of the Master Plan for the Fairway Rehabilitation and Maintenance on the Danube River and its navigable tributaries, developed within the EU Strategy for the Danube Region. The project aims to contribute to an increased safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness of inland navigation.
Main objectives of the project:
- Elaboration of coordinated actions at national level for the implementation of the Master Plan for the Rehabilitation and Maintenance of the Danube Channel;
- Acquisition of the necessary equipment to carry out pilot activities for the provision of hydrological services in the 5 partner countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia);
- Facilitating the identification of innovative methods for the rehabilitation and upgrading of the waterway;
- Preparation of documentation for the execution of selected future measures supporting the implementation of the Master Plan for Danube Rehabilitation and Maintenance.
In Romania, the project aims to develop and acquire databases for information obtained from hydrology, hydrography, signaling, electronic mapping; computing systems and dissemination of water level forecasts; innovative technologies by monitoring the signaling scheme using AtoNs equipment, the use of autonomous land, air and water systems as a support for current administration activities; procedures and systems for identifying and monitoring factors influencing airworthiness on the Romanian Danube sector. Within the project, AFDJ Galati will acquire two new ships that will be used for measuring and signaling activities.
