As the needs for sustainable freight transport solutions grow, river freight cargo is considered to be a very promising track. Large carriage boats allow up to three times less fuel consumption than trucks per ton.km. However, the use of traditional river freight ships leads to a high level of NOx and PM (particulate matter) emissions. Late evolution in regulation, large lifetime, 60 years for hull and 20 years for engine, as well as economical tightness have slowed down technological improvements. European solutions, such as the use of alternative fuels, electric or hybrid propulsions are studied. Projects with zero emissions are favoured as well as projects with easy potential adaptation into zero emission boat: full-electric vessels and hydrogen powered hybrid ships are the main solutions to be considered. Some new generations of vessels are already launched or planned. This paper aims to expose the challenge and to present the current status and trends for improving the impact of river freight.
