VNF has been acting in favour of a
waterways transport of abnormal loads
VNF has implemented a number of actions to promote modal shift, including developing the waterways transport of
abnormal loads:
• Partnerships with industrial and administrative players to support them in their use of waterways transport and
encourage new sectors to integrate waterways transport in their logistics.
• Support to companies in the waterway logistics with business intelligence tools: EVE, an eco-calculator to assess
fuel and external costs savings, navigation maps for each river basin, an online application to identify port solutions
(OLR see page 12), a tool to follow up vessels
in real time (AIS) and a financial programme of waterways transport feasibility studies and experiments.
• Putting into contact the special transport players (ports, shippers, haulage contractors, other network
managers): Riverdating business agreements, information days...
• Contribution to the financing of private or public port facilities, whether on a river or river-oriented
sea facilities: the modal shift aid plan (PARM in French see page 12).
• Dialogue with shippers in order to define the service offer best suited to their requirements.
• Encouragement to adapting vessels to the evolution of the sector: on the modernization and innovation
plan (PAMI in French, see page 12).

The benefits of waterways
Simple: no administrative procedure or authorization required.
Reliable: deliveries by river help meeting the deadlines, even when they are to be made in the heart of the cities.
Ecological: waterways transport is the most silent mode and one of the least polluting.
It is therefore perfectly suited to populated urban areas.
Economical: It allows to transport and store, at the same time, large quantities of goods.
It is the function of floating stock.
Flexible: waterway units transport all types of goods, regardless of volume.
Safe: goods theft and defacement are reduced to a minimum. Moreover, accidents are rare.

VNF is involved in the mapping of hinterland port sites
"As part of an experimental programme to simplify the filing of traffic authorizations
for abnormal loads launched by the State, VNF and DREAL have decided to include in the mapping of waterway networks, the
hinterland port sites allowing for loading and unloading heavy loads. This approach will encourage the use of the waterway mode
that is already often used in a region crossed by many heavy and abnormal loads routes, including from the Benelux countries. »

"We exchange with local authorities and government agencies are very early on in major projects. We have taken special care,
specifically, to transfer to the waterway mode the Greater Paris traffic which will generate
20,000,000 m³ of excavated material, and on the return leg, building materials and prefababricated concrete elements such as
tunnel segments, for example. We have also signed a partnership for charters of freight transport with local authorities such as
Conseil Départemental de Seine-Saint-Denis or Ville de Paris advocating for
the waterway mode as the priority transport mode for goods. »

Marckolsheim VNF has been supporting clients and helping in the decision in terms of modal shift.
"Waterways transport for loads that cannot be split remains a one-off project and is often considered in a captive logic, despite
a regulatory context promoting alternative transport modes, and the emergence of a number of private projects and initiatives in
connection with waterways: designing of a Freycinet type boat optimized for sailing on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, shipment of parts
and components of the ITER project in Cadarache, setting up of specialized haulage contractors on the banks of a waterway...
VNF Rhône-Saône is implementing a programme to promote the modal shift of abnormal load transport to rivers dedicated both to
shippers and specialised service providers and authorities. This approach relies on workshops to promote the waterway know-how to
clients of the industry, and to present modal shift BI tools.
All types of abnormal loads are concerned (class 1-3), whether "heavy" (tunnel borers, transformers...) or "non-standard" (wind turbines, cranes...). »

Guide des opérateurs fluviaux en Europe (A guide to waterway operators in Europe) is a
special issue of Navigation, Ports et Intermodalité (NPI), published by Editions de la navigation
du Rhin in co-operation with VNF.

cargo, abnormal loads, Ro-ro transport), which are segments that require adapted ramps and
logistical organizations.
The guide can be downloaded from www.vnf.fr, Publications/thème Transport/ guide des
