Abstract
The Douro’s Inland Waterway Electronic Navigational Chart project is part of «The Douro's Inland Waterway 2020», managed by the “Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo” (APDL), and being essential for the safety of navigation in this route. The project, executed by the Hydrographic Institute, was executed in several stages, namely:
- The hydrographic survey of the entire Douro's Inland Waterway;
- The definition of the navigation channel for the waterway;
- The definition of maritime aids to navigation on the waterway;
- The creation of Inland Electronic Navigational Charts for the waterway.
After its complete implementation, this will allow a significant increase in the safety of navigation on an inland waterway that is increasingly important for the region and the country.
