NEWADA duo, an EU funded project (South East Europe Programme), supports the waterway management authorities of the Danube riparian states in achieving a common level of service in waterway management along the Danube.
RGO Communications Ltd. is an IT consultant within the implementation of the NEWADA duo project on behalf of the Croatian partner, Agency for Inland Waterways. One of the key deliverables within the project is pilot implementation of Aids to Navigation (AtoNs) - virtual and remote monitoring systems.
The main objective is to increase safety of navigation by installing electronic devices on the floating marks that transmit information on the status and position of an AtoN via the available AIS infrastructure. With the same purpose, a system will be developed which will enable authorities to place virtual AtoNs on the waterway, displayed on a ship based viewer. Virtual AtoNs will significantly increase navigation safety, as they can be placed in the critical location as soon as the authority has identified a navigation safety problem such as low water level, obstruction in the fairway, physical AtoN off-position etc.
The pilot implementation will be done on the selected stretches of the Danube waterway.

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

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.
