Waterborne Technology Platform

WATERBORNE was set up as an industry-oriented Technology Platform to establish a continuous dialogue between all waterborne stakeholders, such as classification societies, shipbuilders, shipowners, maritime equipment manufacturers, infrastructure and service providers, universities or research institutes, and with the EU Institutions, including Member States.

The strategic objectives of the WATERBORNE TP are:

  • Establish a continuous dialogue between all stakeholders in the waterborne transport sector and in other waterborne-related sectors on R&I;
  • Contribute to the widest possible consensus regarding R&I and to focusing of efforts and resources;
  • Develop a common medium- and long-term R&I Vision and a Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas (SRIAs);
  • Contribute to the appropriate mobilisation and allocation of the necessary financial resources (private/regional/national/EU sources);
  • Contribute to the social expectations regarding clean, competitive and safe waterborne transport as well as regarding other waterborne-related activities, including education and training.

Currently, the members of WATERBORNE comprise members as well as associated members from both maritime and inland navigation countries, representing 19 Member States (over 100 full members). In addition, the Associations member of the Waterborne Technology Platform represent the broader waterborne sector throughout the entire EU. WATERBORNE is coordinating the Co-Programmed Partnership on Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport in the framework of Horizon Europe, and the STEERER project is therefore of essence regarding the yearly update of the SRIA of the Partnership.
