Port of Antwerp and the Gent area of the North Sea Port wish to further digitalise inland waterways via various projects. Thanks to AIS (Automatic Identification System), push boats and inland waterway ships can be easily tracked in the port and on the Flemish waterways. This improves safety and efficiency within the waterways. But what about pushed barges? They rarely have their own power supply and, in turn, don't have AIS to locate them. Thanks to the introduction of a tracker, port authorities, owners, operators and shipping companies will always know where each pushed barge or convoy is located.

The Port of Antwerp is working on the development of an inland waterways app. An application that can be used by ship's captains to make advanced electronic registrations, request access through a lock, and consult available moorings in real-time. The benefits? Smoother passage through the port and a more efficient internal waterways system.
