The overall objective of the project is to increase the use of the waterway on the maritime Danube sector and the Sulina Canal, part of the TEN-T core network, by improving the navigable infrastructure and improving the quality of pilotage services, in order to increase the safety of navigation on this Danube sector, the quality of the services provided to ship transport operators and to increase the traffic of goods in accordance with the existing potential. The aim of the project is to increase the traffic capacity on the Sulina Canal and the safety of navigation on the Romanian sector of the Danube, part of the Rhine – Danube Transport Corridor, as an alternative economic and non-polluting mode of transport, in the sense of the policy on Sustainable Mobility of the Green Deal Strategy of the European Union, and the development of the ship transport infrastructure by ensuring the optimal floating and coastal signalling scheme, increasing the intervention capacity in the signaled points, increasing the quality of the pilot service, the modernisation of the FMAJ Galati dispatches in the ports of Sulina, Tulcea and Galati, the improvement of the transfer times of pilots and their security and the improvement of the information infrastructure of the FMAJ Galati, as a Waterway Administration, all this, in correlation with ensuring the protection of the environment and localities, with the dynamisation of economic development, according to the provisions of the General Transport Master Plan of Romania, of its obligations under the Partnership Agreement 2014-2020 and the specific national legislation. The implementation of the project is part of the actions carried out by the FMAJ as a waterway administration, correlated with all previous projects to ensure navigation conditions on the Danube. The implementation of the Project will directly contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the EU Strategy towards 2030 under the European Green Deal and the Commission’s White Paper through decisive action to transfer a substantial share of goods transported by road (currently 75 % of inland freight) to inland navigation and rail, i.e. through measures to increase the capacity of inland waterways from 2021 onwards and contribute to increasing the use of more sustainable transport, i.e. inland waterways and short sea shipping, which should increase by 25 % by 2030 and 50 % by 2050. The project falls under the categories of financing actions of type A1 Projects to improve navigation conditions on the Danube and Danube waterways, as well as within ports located on the central TEN-T, including the acquisition of multifunctional equipment and vessels to ensure navigability on the Danube, Specific Objective 1.3 "Increasing the uptake of waterways and
