- (available in German, English and Hungarian)
The Manual on Danube Navigation captures the Danube waterway in all of its achievements, development and services, and also identifies navigation traffic potential and opportunities still awaiting utilisation and support.
The manual is intended for inland waterway transport trainees and navigation enthusiasts. Because it is also a textbook for training in this sector, the Manual on Danube Navigation contributes significantly to the dissemination of knowledge and is able to inspire future customers in utilising environmentally friendly waterway shipping..
Danube Commission

Its main objectives are enhanced navigability along the Danube particularly for cargo shipping, environmental protection, combating air pollution, upgrading of flood protection systems and intensifying economic development, tourism and culture in the regions.
