FAIRway Danube II – Procurement of Equipment for Inland Waterway Marking
FAIRway Danube II – Procurement of Equipment for Inland
Waterway Marking
As part of the FAIRway Danube II project, commissioned by
the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of
Croatia, RGO Communications Ltd. is responsible for the procurement and
delivery of advanced equipment for marking inland waterways. The project is a
component of a broader European initiative aimed at improving navigation
conditions along the Danube River.
Under this contract, RGO is in charge of supplying
technically sophisticated and certified elements for visual waterway marking –
including buoys and Aids to Navigation (AtoN) devices equipped with depth
sensors and Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality. These devices
transmit information via AIS, allowing vessels to accurately locate and
identify river navigation objects such as buoys and beacons, thereby enhancing
navigational safety.
The procured equipment ensures reliable and efficient
marking of river sections in accordance with international standards,
particularly in areas supervised by the Port Authorities of Vukovar and Osijek.
The project directly contributes to the improvement of navigation safety,
interoperability, and alignment with the standards of River Information
Services (RIS).

RGO Communications
Ltd., in cooperation with Periskal BV, is providing expert and technical
support within the UkrRIS-Danube project – River Information Services on the
Ukrainian Danube.
The UkrRIS-Danube
project is focused on the development of River Information Services (RIS) in
Ukraine, with particular emphasis on the Ukrainian section of the Danube River,
including the ports of Reni and Izmail. The project aims to align Ukrainian RIS
systems with European standards and enable their integration with the European
EuRIS and CEERIS platforms.
The project includes
the development and specification of key RIS systems and services, including
fairway information services, traffic information services, traffic management
support, vessel tracking and tracing systems, corridor management services, and
digital tools that contribute to safer and more efficient inland waterway
transport.
RGO Communications
contributes through its experience in the development and implementation of RIS
systems, interoperable information solutions, and digital tools for inland
navigation. Its activities include expert support in project documentation,
technical coordination, system specification, quality and risk management, and
stakeholder communication.
The project represents
an important step in the modernization of inland navigation in Ukraine. It
contributes to safer, more efficient, and more transparent traffic on the
Danube, better integration with the European inland waterway network, and the
strengthening of the Danube’s role within European transport corridors.
