Strategic documents in development of inland navigation on the Polish and Belarusian section of E40
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2016, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
The international waterway E40 is incorporated into the network of inland waterways of transnational importance. It’s a kind of link between the two water basins of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. The route runs through three countries, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. The article shows a review of strategic documents regarding the revitalization of this connection at regional, national and international levels. Due to the fact that the sections running through the territory of Poland and Belarus require major modernization works, the authors of the article focus mainly on the analysis of the selected documents related to those countries. The entire section of the Ukrainian stretch of the waterway is basically navigable and does not require major modernization works. The article will be useful to create a strategy for the revitalization of the international waterway E40 in Poland, and will facilitate any decision on accession and signing of the European Agreement on the Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN) convention by Poland. The article can also provide material to support development policies of companies conducting their business based on infrastructure located along the E40 waterway.
