Pre-Feasibility Study for Rehabilitation and Development of the Sava River Waterway - Final Report

The Sava used to be an important lifeline in the former Yugoslavia and was regularly used for Inland Waterway Transport. However, the break-up of Yugoslavia and the economic decline in the 80’ s and 90’ s caused a strong decrease of transport and navigation on the Sava. In the present day, the Sava is hardly used for river transport. Other transport modes are (slowly) recovering but Inland Waterway Transport is still at a low level. Reasons for this situation might be amongst others: • lack of maintenance and investments, resulting in poor quality of infrastructure ; • poor intermodal connections with road and railway ; • damaged port and river infrastructure is endangering safe navigation ; • the present low level of economic development because of the war (1990) along the Sava resulting in low cargo demand/ supply.
