PresentatorPresentatienotitiesAuf diesem Slide ist deutlich gezeigt, wie die Binnenstrecke von Hamburg nach Tschechien unsere Wettbewerbsfaehigkeit beeinflusst.�Das Transport von Shanghai nach Hamburg bildet nur 20 % der Transportkosten, aber die Strecke von Hamburg nach Tschechien bildet die restliche 80 %. Deshalb ist fuer Tschehien sehr wichtig diese Kosten moeglichst niedrig zu halten um die Wettbewerbsfaehigkeit zu foerdern.


Orient – East Mediteranean corridor of the core TEN-T network

Strategic corridor bottlenecks:- Unstabile draughts on Elbe, as cross-

border issue CZ/BRD

Other bottlenecks:- Connection to Pardubice and Hradec

Králové aglomeration and improvement ofwaterway to Prague

- Low navigation draughts and clearancesunder bruidges on Vltava to Prague

- Unsatisfactory performance of lockchambers

- Unfinished implementation of RIS and crossborder data exchange with BRD

Defined by Directive of European Parliament and Council (EU) No 1316/2013 from 11/12/2013

PresentatorPresentatienotitiesIrop – prodloužení VC pro rekreační plavbu, program zatím není nastaven, přístavy lze efektivněji financovat ze sfdi (z hlediska administrativy)


Waterway network of the Czech Republic – major bottlenecks

Labe – stable navigation conditions(cascade 21 locks)

Vltavastable navigation

conditions(cascade 10

locks)

Missing connection to Pardubice aglomeration

Major limitation – unstable draughts on free flowing Labe long periods without navigation,

unstable service for shippers – shift to road transport

Improvement ofnavigation conditionson free flowing Labe -Plavební stupeň Děčín

Freight volumes on CZ waterways are very low (< 1 mil.t.)

Class IV – theeuropean standard of

vessel parameters

Conclusions by the correspondence group GNS


Current parameters:• class IV,• for vessels or tows no

wider than 10.5 m and no longer than 130 m

• draughts limited to 1.80 m

• clearance under bridges up to 4.50 m

ensuring the TEN-T waterway parameters from Mělník (confluence with the Elbe) to the port at Praha-Radotín (the last port really used by freight transport)

elimination of bottlenecks limiting the use of the waterway.

Extension of navigability on Vltava waterway

(original CEF project)

Extension to parameters:• draughts up to 2.20 m

(same as on Elbe)• clearance under bridges

up to 7.0 m up to Praha-Holešovice and then 5.25 m up to Praha-Radotín

• navigation safety and reliable operability


63,7 km

Construction works:• 9/2017 – 6/2020• 1.656,- mil. CZK (58 mil. €)
