Waterborne transport

The Waterborne Transport Committee met in Hamburg in May.

JENS Wrage, HADAG/ATG, one of the founding members of the Waterborne Transport Committee, hosted his final meeting in Hamburg, Germany, in May. This was also the first meeting under the chairmanship of Larry Jacobs, Bermuda Ministry of Transport. 

The working programme of the Committee will focus on accessibility, sustainable development, waterfront planning integrations and system integration, and the development of a glossary of waterborne terms.  The growing Committee enjoyed presentations on the Sustainable Development Charter as well as on UITP’s security activities.

The group visited ATG’s fuel cell boat currently under construction (see article in forthcoming PTI magazine) and experienced trips on various vessels, notably ATG’s solar passenger vessel, the ‘Alstersonne’.
