Scientists from Łukasiewicz - the Poznań Institute of Technology and the University of Gdańsk conducted the pilot project Cristal, testing commodity navigation on the Odra and Wisła, which revealed serious problems with infrastructure and water conditions. Bark flights encountered numerous difficulties, such as several months of stops or changes in routes caused by renovations and low water levels, especially on the Vistula. Intelligent buoys have been implemented monitoring river parameters that are to help in planning transport and increasing security. Despite the potential of inland transport as a low -emission alternative, the current unpredictability scares off potential customers. The aim of the project is to increase the share of water transport by 20% at 80% of reliability, supporting the EU climate policy.
