4. Special features of river transport
The rules and standards governing the use of LNG as a fuel in maritime transport cannot be directly applied to river transport. Boat engines are different from those used in maritime transport.

The use of LNG as a fuel by river transport has been widely promoted by the "LNG Masterplan Rhine-Main-Danube" project co-financed by the European Union from 2012 to 2015.
