Inland ports: studies, works or mixed

The program targets public and private entities involved in developing inland port and waterway transport infrastructure across the TEN-T Comprehensive Network. Its main objective is to enhance the navigability, efficiency, and environmental performance of European inland waterways.

This program supports a range of infrastructure studies and works in inland ports and waterways, focusing on enhancing navigability, connectivity, and environmental performance. Certain synergistic elements, like on-site renewable energy generation, are also eligible under specific conditions.

The program provides grant funding, with a substantial indicative budget for the call. Specific project durations and individual funding limits are not detailed.

Applicants must adhere to specific conditions related to admissibility, eligibility, financial capacity, and project implementation, including rules for synergistic elements and non-discriminatory access to funded infrastructure.

The application process involves online submission and a structured evaluation by CINEA and independent experts, with results announced after the call deadline.

The program is legally founded on key EU regulations related to transport infrastructure and financial management, with detailed operational guidelines provided through specific work programmes and appraisal guides.
