As in road transport, incentive schemes for the introduction of the reduction of emission and energy-saving measures in inland waterway transport also help make the fleet more environmentally-friendly.
Ligesom inden for vejtransport medvirker nationale stimuleringsordninger for indførelsen af emissionsbegrænsninger og energibesparelser inden for transport ad indre vandveje til at gøre skibsfarten mere energivenlig.
