SmartRivers Stories – Strategic Funding
• EU funds transportation as a system
• US funds transportation stovepipes
• US discounts “public” waterway benefits as
external to projects, traditionally externalities
can’t be used in project benefit/cost
justifications
• EU internalizes the “externalities” into the
marketplace with incentives to divert cargo
from trucks to water and rail
SmartRivers Stories – COB
• Container on Barge in Europe was started by
the US Army shipments to Mannheim
• Freight Forwarders saw opportunities in the
empty containers going back to US
SmartRivers Stories – via donau
• Started as an economic development agency “to
increase traffic on the waterways” and “to help
the private sector”
• Rejected short term subsidies/Make the system
better
• Better data + better technology = more
competitive waterways, better decision-making
• When merged with the Austrian Waterworks
– via donau put on top of the decision-making process
instead of on the bottom
PIANC USA – July 2009
• PIANC USA Meeting in Pittsburgh, July 2009
• Working Group 125 Meeting (US Section)
