Besides environmental & economic performance, Danube IWT needs improved IT based logistics processes for full integration into managed logistics chains of industry.

GRENDEL analysed requirements and logistics processes of representative fleet operators and prepared guidelines for transport and logistics management which are available in the Library. The recommendations are summarised around four key elements:

• Co-operation
• Integration
• Value added services to support logistics operations
• Value added services to support fairway operators

The GRENDEL project and its recommendations clearly support the achievement of the targets established in the revised EUSDR Action Plan for PA1a.
